Clearances to Combustible Surfaces for
Both Heart Mount (4” legs) and
Freestanding (6” legs) Stoves
You can use any of the following stovepipes when
installing your stove in a freestanding location.
A single wall connector stovepipe can be either
24 MSG or 25 MSG blued steel. You must
comply with larger clearances with single wall
pipe.
A double wall connector, close clearance
stovepipe, must be used with a listed factory-
built “Type HT” chimney or double wall pipe to
reduce clearances. Double wall connector pipe
is available from several manufacturers; ask
your dealer to help you choose the most
appropriate pipe for your installation.
Several types of air insulated connector
stovepipes are Simpson Dura Vent DVL,
Metalbestos DS, Security, GSW, and Ameritec.
When installing a chimney connector, do not pass
them through a floor, a ceiling, any attic or roof
space, closet, or similar concealed space. If you are
passing stovepipe through a combustible wall or
partition, your installation must conform to NFPA 211
or CAN/CSA–B365 standards.
For the sake of safety, make sure you allow for the
minimum clearances from chimney connectors to all
surrounding surfaces such as walls, ceilings, and
floors—combustible or not.
The clearances for a typical chimney connection and
two freestanding locations—in a corner and in an
alcove—follow. The single wall clearances are
generic; the Double wall clearances are for Simpson
Dura Vent DVL.
Ensure you check the exact
specifications from the manufacturer of your
connector.
Rear Heat Shield and Blower
You can reduce stove and pipe clearances when
you install the optional Rear Heat Shield Kit (part
number 95-68700). (Please see “Optional
Accessories” on page 45 for more information.)
Clearances from Stovepipes
This table and illustration lists the minimum
clearances from your single- and double-wall
stovepipe to both unprotected and NFPA 211
protected surfaces. (For more information about
NFPA protected surfaces, please refer to
“Clearances to NFPA 211 Protected Surfaces” on
page 8.)
