Columbia Installation and Operation Manual7.4 Reducing Wall and Ceiling Clearances SafelyIt is often desirable to reducethe minimum installationclearances by placing the stovecloser to walls so the installationtakes up less floor space. Youcan safely reduce the minimumclearances by permanentlyinstalling a shield between thestove and combustible material.The rules for safe shields can becomplicated, so read themcarefully and follow themexactly. Note that there may beminor regional differences inclearance reduction rules so besure to check with your buildingor fire inspector beforeproceeding.7.4.1 Shield Construction Rules1. Minimum space behind shield: 25 mm (1 in.). In Canada 21 mm (7/8 in).2. Minimum clearance along the bottom of shield: 25 mm (1 in.).3. Maximum clearance along the bottom of shield: 75 mm (3 in.).4. Minimum clearance along the top of shield at ceiling: 75 mm (3 in.).5. Shield extension beyond each side of appliance: 450 mm (18 in.).6. Shield extension above appliance: 500 mm (20 in.).7. Edge clearance for ceiling shields: 75 mm (3 in.).8. Adhesives used in shield construction must not ignite or lose adhesive qualities attemperatures likely to be encountered.9. Mounting hardware must allow full vertical ventilation.10. Mounting hardware must not be located closer than 200 mm (8 in.) from the verticalcentre line of the appliance.11. Mounting hardware which extends from the shield surface into combustibles may beused only at the edges of the shield.33
