Is this the page that is in question?

If so, I'm not following the diag at the bottom compared to the data table either. Looks like a few values were switched by accident?

Pen - Yes, that's the page. It does seem like a few values were switched. Oops. I'd like to know what the true clearances should be for a double wall install.
 
I asked the very same question here a week ago, and one of the Englander God's said its been asked before....certainly confusing. I can't find the tread or the response at the moment, but I will and I'll bring it here.

The word is, the posted numbers ARE correct. For the life of me, I can't see the physics in this one. Makes absolutely no sense.

It may be worth a call to Englander and get it from the horse. Baffling, to say the least.
 
You're right, according to the post you linked, the clearances are right. I'd like to know why the double wall pipe causes a need for more clearance. I haven't seen this on any other stove. Does the double wall pipe lead to a hotter firebox causing the stove to radiate more heat out the back? I don't know.
 
Give their tech support a call at (800) 245-6489 and they can explain it.
 
what did tech support say?

Well, I haven't called yet. I may not call if the Lopi Republic 1750 or PE Super 27 begins looking like a better stove for my wife and I. Feel free to call for me though! I'm curious to know what's happening.
 
The manual is correct.
The answer I got a couple of years ago when I put in my 13 was that the double wall, in theory, can create a better draft, thus higher stove temps.
From what I remember, this explanation came from Englander.
