8.3 Reducing Clearances Safely
It is often desired to use as little space as possible when
installing a wood stove. To do this, it is possible to reduce the
clearances safely and install the stove closer to the walls by
permanently installing a heat shield between the stove and the
flammable material. The rules for heat shields are sometimes
complicated. Read and apply the instructions carefully. Some
regions may have different regulations. Consult the local
building code or contact the fire department for restrictions,
inspection and installation requirements in the area.
8.3.1 Shield Construction Rules
− 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.
See figures for shield construction to match each letter to a clearance.
A) Minimum clearance between the appliance top and an unshielded combustible ceiling: (41
⅞
")
(1064 mm) .
B) Shield extension above the appliance: 20" (500 mm).
C) Minimum space behind the shield: 1" (25 mm). In Canada
⅞
" (21 mm).
D) Clearance along the bottom of the shield: minimum 1" (25 mm) and maximum 3" (75 mm).
E) Minimum clearance along the top of the shield at the ceiling: 3" (75 mm).
F) Mounting hardware must not be located closer than 8" (200 mm) from the vertical centre line of
the appliance.
