An unprotected mantel must have a minimum clear-

ance of 36”, measured from the stove’s top plate; with a

ventilated shield the clearance may safely be reduced

to 18”.

Unprotected top trim must be a minimum of 36” from

the stove’s top surface; with a ventilated trim shield the

clearance may be safely reduced to 18”.

Unprotected side trim which protrudes 2” or more from

the face of the replace must have a minimum 36” of

clearance, measured from the stove’s top side edge;

with a ventilated trim shield, the clearance may be

safely reduced to 18”.

Unprotected side trim which protrudes less than 2” from

the replace face must have a minimum clearance of

18”; with a ventilated trim shield, this may be safely

reduced to 12”. (Fig. 15)

Whenever possible, design your installation so that the

chimney connector does not pass through a combus-

tible wall. If you are considering a wall-pass through in

your installation, be sure you check with your building

inspector before you begin. Also check with the chim-

ney connector manufacturer for any specic require-

ments.

Accessories are available on the market which have

been tested and listed specically for use as wall pass-

throughs. Use only these tested and listed accessories

for wall pass-throughs.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has

established guidelines for passing chimney connectors

through combustible walls. Many building code inspec-

tors follow these guidelines when approving installa-

tions.

The illustration below shows one NFPA recommended

method, in which all combustible material in the wall

is cut away from the single wall connector a sufcient

distance to provide the required 12” clearance for the

connector. Any material used to close up the opening

must be noncombustible.

Three other methods are also approved by the NFPA.

•Using a section of double-wall chimney with a nine-

inch clearance to combustibles

•Placing a chimney connector pipe inside a ventilated

thimble, which is then separated from combustibles by

six inches of berglass insulating material

•Placing a chimney connector pipe inside a section of

eight-inch diameter solid insulated factory-built chim-

ney, with two inches of airspace between the chimney

section and combustibles.

The chimney connector should be made of 24 gauge

or heavier sheetmetal. Galvanized chimney connector

should not be used, as it may release toxic fumes when

exposed to high temperatures.

The chimney connector should be as short and direct

as possible, with no more than two 90 degree turns.
