Help me understand reduced clearance

[Username]

Im trying to get some clarity on stove clearance and reduced clearance. Clearance is pretty straight forward. If I plop my stove on the floor it needs to be the specified dimensions away from combustible materials. Easy enough.
Where I need some explanation is with reduced clearance. Does using a double wall stove pipe do the trick? Do I need to build one of those non combustible heat shields with the 1” air gap AND have double wall pipe? Will a heat shield air gap wall allow me to use single wall and set the stove to the reduced clearance? Looking for the least expensive way to meet the reduced clearance on whatever stove I end up with, but confused on how to be in compliance.
Apparently when I replace my stove I need a new permit and inspection from the town so I need to factor this in before the season is here.
Thanks in advance

Follow the manufacturers instructions. They spell everything out

Reduced clearances are only permissible if specified in the stove manual. That is the guiding document. Stove pipe clearances are separate the stove clearance requirements. Typically double-wall has a minimum 6" clearance and single-wall is 18". Note that there is no harm in exceeding minimum requirements.

If they did, I wouldn’t be here asking. They give reduced dimensions, but don’t specify what I have to do to my walls or pipe or both to comply and be able to install to the reduced dimensions.

What stove brand and model?

What stove brand and model?

Most likely Lopi republic 1750. Does using one of the listed chimney and connectors mean I can shove it in my corner 6.5” away from the wall without wall protection?

Yes, if the 1750 stove is installed with one of the double-wall stove pipes listed.
