Clearance to Combustibles
The Imperial requires a clearance to combustible walls of 42"
measured from the back of the unit. For locating the center of
the chimney the measurement is 63" from the backwall and 63"
to the sidewall. See figure 1, page 2. For corner installation the
center of the chimney is 63". See figure 2, page 2.
Clearance to Non-combustibles
The Imperial clearance to a combustible wall may be reduced
with proper wall protection. Accepted methods for wall
protection would allow reduction of the wall clearances. For
appearance if desired a non-combustible wall covering can
placed on the wall. The covering should consist of a listed wall
protection board installed to the manufacturer's specifications.
Approved protection boards at the time of this publication are
Wonderboard, Dura Rock and Homosote. A non-combustible
material can then be placed over the wall protection board. With
most of the protection boards the clearance can be reducedby
2/3 from the original combustible wall. Be certain to check with
your local building officials and or fire inspector for accepted
methods in your area.
