1 inch air gap

[Wildwoods]

So I have my hearth built except for the finish but now I'm second guessing to put in the heat shield.
If I follow Drolett's distance of 20 inch from the double wall pipe to the combustible drywall do I really need the air gap?
I was doing a corner mount. I have 1/2 cement board on the drywall and was going to put 1/4 inch slate veneer panels on that.

Obviously the air gap will be better but is it necessary? I plan to close off the one outlet as it may be a bit close for comfort.

If you meet the clearance requirements from Drolet to combustibles without the heat shield and air gap, then you don't need them. Please note that attaching a non-combustible surface to your wall does not change the clearance requirements to combustibles.

You've lost me. What Drolet stove is this for? Which dimension is 20" for double=wall stovepipe?

It's the ht2000
Corner mount is 20inch from pipe to side walls.
Tks Meche your right I'm just second guessing myself. Anyone with a similar set up?

if your using double wall pipe the close clearance is 6" but … and I mean but, the doublewall pipe may be able to be that close, but the stove still needs to be a certain distance away. Unless you have a ventilated wall shield or 3.5" of solid masonry you have to follow the regular minimum clearance specs to combustibles, when dealing with either solid masonry or ventilated wall shield you can follow the close quarters spec that some stoves offer.
Also with the veneer, don't use regular glue when applying, the radiant heat overtime will cause the veneer to pop off.

Thanks for your help, I'm going to this stove to exact specs plus. Screw that heat shield lol.
So if not glue for the veneer how about this stuff

Got it. The flue outlet is a bit inboard on this stove. Dimension C - 8", is the critical measurement. Note that there is no harm in exceeding the minimum clearance spec or with having a bit more hearth extending in front of the stove.

Tks Begreen
So that number to meet and exceed first prior to all other? With the corner mount it looks like there is alot less measuring lol. I raised this pad so much I'm only at 55 from stove top min is 53.

That's right. As noted, double-wall stove pipe has a 6" to the wall requirement. The closest to a combustible will be the back corners of the stove.

Thanks for your help . It's finished!! In the end I thought the straight mound looked better. I can keep an adh bucket on the left and wood on the right.
My clearance from back of stove needs to be 10. So with this set up I'm 12.5 and don't feel like I'm loosing space at all. I also built a massive wood shed that I'm going to do my best to fill next fall. Lol
