How close can double insulated 6" pipe be to an electrical fuse box?

Is it ok to use a different brand for black stove pipe and the actual chimney pipe?

Is triple insulated chimney pipe really zero clearance? I got told at hardware store that it is but everywhere I read online says is 2"


Thank you

Almost all class a chimney pipe has a 2" clearance requirement. The dofference between double wall and triple wall chimneys are the outside diameter and the ammount of insulation. Double wall has a smaller od and twice the insulation so it keeps internal temps up better. Triplewall has 1/2 the insulation with an airgap
 
No chimney is zero clearance. At least 2" clearance to the pipe is what you need.

You can use a different brand of stove than chimney pipe.
