1. MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES.
The clearances listed in Table I are the minimum distances that must be maintained, as demonstrated in Figures
1 and 2. It is important to note that simply covering a combustible material with a non-combustible material does
not offer sufficient heat protection. For example, drywall conducts the radiant heat directly to the wood, and the
effect is the same as if the wood was unprotected.
Clearances to a combustible backwall may be reduced to 8” by using Dovre Backshield, part #400HSB, and listed
double wall connector pipe.
The following table and diagrams show the minimum clearance requirements between your Dovre, chimney con-
nectors and unprotected combustible walls and materials. If further reduced clearances are needed, obtain
requirements for construction of a protected wall from your local building code authorities and their allowable
reductions of the listed clearances.
