6" X 48"L Shield FAQ
Why would I choose a 48-inch shield instead of multiple shorter sections?
The 48-inch continuous shield offers several advantages: fewer installation points means fewer potential weak spots, simplified alignment and secure fastening, cleaner aesthetic appearance, and reduced installation time and labor. It's ideal for tall installations or when you want seamless protection from stove connection to ceiling without multiple joins.
What are the standard clearance requirements before using this shield?
Standard clearance for unshielded 6-inch single wall stove pipe is 18 inches from combustible materials. This shield reduces that requirement to 5 inches from walls and 8 inches from ceilings in the USA, or 5 inches from both walls and ceilings in Canada, all measured from the outer shield surface.
Can I cut this shield to a shorter length if needed?
We do not recommend cutting the shield as it may compromise the structural integrity, damage the protective finish, and void the SBIHA certification. Instead, use combination approaches with 12, 24, or 36-inch sections that best fit your specific installation requirements.
Is the 48-inch length sufficient for a full vertical run in my space?
The 48-inch length covers most standard vertical installations from stove connection through ceiling penetration areas. However, some tall installations may require additional shielding above. Measure your venting run and consult installation guidelines to confirm adequate coverage for your specific application.
How many fastening points does the 48-inch shield have?
The shield includes multiple pre-drilled mounting points spaced along its 48-inch length. Properly install fasteners at each point according to manufacturer specifications to ensure secure attachment, even weight distribution, and maintained SBIHA certification. Use the provided ceramic spacers and recommended hardware.
Can I use this 48-inch shield with other length shields in the same installation?
Yes, you can combine the 48-inch section with shorter 12, 24, or 36-inch sections if needed. Ensure all shields are the same 6-inch diameter, properly aligned end-to-end with no gaps, and all mounting hardware is secure. Verify each section maintains its SBIHA certification when used as part of a combined system.
What are the differences between USA and Canada clearance requirements?
USA codes allow 5 inches from walls and 8 inches from ceilings. Canada requires 5 inches from both walls and ceilings. This single shield meets both standards, making it suitable for installations in either country or for properties spanning the US-Canada border.
What maintenance does this extended shield require?
Perform regular inspections along the full 48-inch length for rust spots, loose fasteners, or corrosion, especially after heating seasons. Clean exterior surfaces with a damp cloth as needed. Ensure all mounting brackets remain tight throughout the entire length. For internal pipe inspection or professional venting maintenance, hire a certified chimney sweep or HVAC technician.
