Stove Heat Shields

The Vermont Castings Defiant Rear Heat Shield, shown below, is one way to reduce the clearance to the rear wall. The rear heat shield can be installed in any setting. However, since the chimney connector also radiates heat toward the wall, you should use a chimney connector shield whenever you use the rear heat shield.

Clearance reductions with the rear heat shield apply only to the wall to the rear in parallel installations. Neither the side clearance requirement nor the clear- ance requirement in corner installations may be re- duced.
