New stove, wall too hot

[begreen]

The stove is allowed to be that close to combustibles, but only if the connector pipe that's being used can also be. Therefore double wall pipe must be used in order to have the stove at this minimum clearance.

Or shielded single-wall.

about as clear as mud, when double wall pipe is not mentioned

Rick is correct according to my dealer who said 2" gap at top & bottom of said ceramic/tile wall-barrier to allow air flow. otherwise it still going to transfer the heat and raise flashpoint of combustible wall.


"No. A "protected wall" is one with a properly built and installed heat shield. This is basically any non-combustible material installed with a 1" air gap between it and the wall and installed such that it freely ventilates to allow natural convection of air to travel continuously between the wall and the shield. Any allowed reduction of minimum clearance to a combustible surface by installation of a proper wall shield should be clearly spelled out in the appliance manufacturer's documentation. Applying ceramic tile directly to the wall is a waste of time and tile. Rick"

Thanks for all of your help. With this information, and also speaking with the Jotul factory today, I'm going with the double wall pipe to fix the problem.
