Reducing Wall and Ceiling Clearances Safely
It is often desirable to reduce the
minimum installation clearances
by placing the stove closer to
walls so the installation takes up
less floor space. You can safely
reduce the minimum clearances
by permanently installing a
shield between the stove and
combustible material. The rules
for
safe shields can be
complicated, so read them
carefully and follow them
exactly. Note that there may be
minor regional differences in
clearance reduction rules so be
sure to check with your building
or
fire inspector before
proceeding.
Shield Construction Rules
See figure Clearances for shield construction to match each letter to a clearance.
-
Adhesives used in shield construction must not ignite or lose adhesive qualities at temperatures
likely to be encountered.
- Mounting hardware which extends from the shield surface into combustibles may be used only
at the edges of the shield.
-
Mounting hardware must allow full vertical ventilation.
A Minimum clearance between the appliance top and an unshielded combustible ceiling:
1283 mm (50 1/2 po.)
B
Shield extension above appliance: 500 mm (20 in.).
C Minimum space behind shield: 25 mm (1 in.). In Canada 21 mm (7/8 in).
D Clearance along the bottom of shield: minimum: 25 mm (1 in.) and maximum: 75 mm (3 in.).
E Minimum clearance along the top of shield at ceiling: 75 mm (3 in.).
F
Mounting hardware must not be located closer than 200 mm (8 in.) from the vertical centre line
of the appliance.
G Edge clearance for ceiling shields to side and back walls: 75 mm (3 in.).
H
Shield extension beyond each side of appliance: 450 mm (18 in.).
