SIDE AND REAR WALL CLEARANCES
For the minimum clearances between the unit and any side
or rear walls, your setup must fall within one (or more) of the
following:
A. Clearance between unit and strictly non-combustible
wall
(i.e. brick wall, see Fig. 11-1)
• The unit must have a minimum of 4" right, left, and rear
clearance from any non-combustible wall.
(To allow for proper ventilation and prevent dangerous
overheating.)
B. Clearance between unit and a protected combustible
wall
(i.e. a non-combustible wall in front of a combustible wall
to serve as a barrier. This can be accomplished by brick,
or a metal stud finished with non-combustible substrate,
see Fig. 11-2)
• The unit must have a minimum of 14" right, left, and
rear clearance from the protected combustible wall.
(The 4" non-combustible material plus an additional
10" clearance between the unit and protected wall.)
C. Clearance between unit and combustible wall
• The unit must have a minimum of 18" right, left, and rear
clearance from any combustible wall (see Fig. 11-3).
BACKSPLASH CLEARANCE (if applicable)
If a non-combustible backsplash exists, it must have a minimum
of a 4" clearance from the rear of the unit (to allow for proper
ventilation and prevent dangerous overheating). See Fig. 11-4.
Important: This 4" backsplash clearance must first be met
prior to any non-combustible walls beginning
behind it.
