Wall Shields

Wall shields should be constructed of 24 gauge or heavier sheet metal, or another noncombustible mate- rial such as 1/2” (13mm) insulation board or common brick “laid on ﬂat,” with the 3¹⁄₂" (90mm) side down.

Shields must be spaced out from the combustible sur- face 1" (25mm) on noncombustible spacers. The spac- ers should not be directly behind the stove or chimney connector.

Air must be able to ﬂow between the wall and the shield. At least 50% of the bottom 1" (25mm) of the shield should be open and the shield must be open at the top.
