temperature of the object is raised, which can result in spontaneous combustion. Similarly, wood-framed walls which are
covered with tile, stone or fire-rated sheetrock must be considered combustible. Fire-rated sheetrock is also considered
combustible due to the paper covering.
If you wish to install your stove closer to a combustible wall than standard clearances will permit, you can either attach
a UL approved stove & pipe shield, or mount a protective non-combustible shield on the wall.
Stove and Pipe Shields:
Clearances can be reduced by attaching a UL approved heat shield and pipe shield. Woodstock Soapstone Company
carries heat shields specifically designed for this stove. When using both of these shields,the clearance behind the stove
can be reduced to 18 inches. The clearance behind the pipe can be reduced to 10 inches.
Wall shields:
Clearances can also be reduced by mounting a ventilated shield on the wall that extends 36” out beyond the stove (see
diagram below). If you are installing wall protection, it should be spaced out from the wall one inch. This air space
allows air to flow freely behind the shield, cooling the combustible wall and preventing a pocket of hot air from being
trapped behind the shield. The wall protection can be attached to the studs using long screws and ceramic wall spacers.
The spacers should not be installed directly behind the stove. The top and either a.) both sides, or b.) the bottom must be
left open for adequate ventilation.
*These clearances meet or exceed requirements of NFPA 211, Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces,
Vents, and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances.
• These clearances apply to walls, ceilings, furniture and other combustibles.
• The 36” Vertical Stack Shield attaches to the back of the stove pipe and prevents excess heat from being radiated
from the pipe. Heat shield protection is only required for the first 36” of vertical connector pipe.
• At least 30” is required from the front of the stove to combustibles (such as curtains, wall hangings, and furniture).
The same clearances from your stove and stove pipe apply to both fireplace and freestanding installations. Be
particularly careful to check clearances to a wood mantel or a wood fireplace facade. You must maintain a 30” clearance
to an unprotected wood mantel. See Fireplace Installations on Page 5.
