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.
