Synopsis

Excerpt from Clearances and Methods of Protection for Wall and Ceiling Surfaces Exposed to Radiant Heating Appliances<br/><br/>Recommendations for minimum acceptable clearances to combustible materials for the installation of chimneys, chimney connectors, and appliances are specified in the various model codes and recommended practice manuals For simplicity and ease of enforcement, a single (hopefully conser vative) clearance is given for each type of appliance installed without protection. No allowance is made for the size, heat output, heat transfer characteristics, or other features unique to individual models. Similarly, only a few, specific methods of protection employed to allow reduction of these clearances are recommended. Typically, 914 mm (36 in) of clearance is specified between radiant heaters and unprotected combustible construction in the codes. For circulating heaters, clearances of 610 mm (24 in) from the front of the appliance and 305 mm (12 in) from the sides and back of the appliance are recommended For single wall metal chimney connectors.
