Clearances with Double wall Chimney
Connectors and Rear Stove heat Shields
When a rear heat shield is used on the stove and a double
wall chimney connector is used, the rear clearance is
15¹⁄₂" (395 mm) and the chimney connector clearance is
12" (300 mm).
Clearances with Single-wall Chimney Con-
nectors, Connector Shields and Rear Stove
heat Shields
Use of both stove and chimney connector heat shields, on
single-wall connectors, in top-exiting installations reduces
the required clearance. (Fig. 10)

A properly constructed wall shield may be used to change
an unprotected wall to a protected wall, allowing the clear-
ances given in the right half of the Clearance Chart.
Wall shields should be con-
structed of 24 gauge or
heavier sheetmetal, 1/2"
noncombustible insulation
board, or common brick
laid on flat (3¹⁄₂" side down).
Shields must be spaced out
from the combustible wall or
ceiling 1" on noncombus-
tible spacers. The spacers
should not be directly be-
hind the stove or chimney
connector.
Air must be able to flow
between the wall and the
shield. At least one-half
(50%) of the bottom 1" of the
shield should be open and
the shield must stop 1" from
the ceiling. Protect the top
ST688 opening with metal screen-
ing to prevent objects from
falling behind the shield.
Rear wall shields must ex-
tend 18" above the top of
the stove or to within 1" of the ceiling, must be centered
behind the stove, and must be a minimum of 48" (1220
mm) wide by 48" high.
Side wall shields must be 48" (1220 mm) wide by 44" high,
and must extend 15" (380 mm) beyond the front of the
stove as measured from a point on the wall that is on the
same plane as the door glass.
