A 1” (25 mm) clearance to combustibles must be maintained around any vertical vent pipe. Around a
horizontal vent pipe, the clearance to combustibles should be 2” (51 mm) above and 1” (25 mm) on
the sides and bottom. When combustible materials are directly above the first 90°
elbow, 9” (229 mm)
of clearance is necessary.

Thimble
Specific
See certified thimbles in venting section and
frame accordingly (see Table 6) will assure the proper
support and spacing for the vent pipe as it passes through the wall. Installations in Canada require that a
wall thimble be used for passing through walls and ceilings. All sealing and vapour barriers must comply
with local building codes.
The configuration of the venting pipes depends on the locations
of walls, ceilings, and studs. However, the pipes cannot be of
arbitrary length and arrangement. Because the length of the
vertical and horizontal sections dramatically affects the burning
efficiency of the fireplace, certain guidelines have been set
