minimum clearance from back or top of boiler to combustible material.
•Minimum clearances from vent pipe to combustible material:
6 inches — Type “L” doublewall vent*
18 inches — Singlewall vent*
Flue pipe clearances must take precedence over jacket clearances.

24 inches — Front and top
6 inches — Left side, back and right side Δ 12 inches — Right side for burner door
