1.3.1 Reduced clearances using shielding
You may decrease the minimum clearances to combustible materials by installing heat radiation shields
between the walls or the ceiling and the stove. Those heat radiation shields must be installed permanently,
and must be made of a heat-resistant or heat-tolerant material.
Note : Walls and ceiling on the vertical and horizontal plan of the pipe connectors must be protected if the
clearances of 18’’ are not met.
