When desired minimum
clearance from
Type “L” double-wall
vent pipe to combustible
surface is:
Use the following
protection**:
3"
½” thick insulation board
***
over one-inch glass fiber
or mineral wool batts+
2"
24 gauge sheet metal with
one-inch ventilated air
space

* All clearances measured from outer surface of
equipment to combustible surface, not to the
protection used.
** Apply to combustible surface unless otherwise
noted. Cover all surfaces as specified in Table and
Figure 24. Thicknesses are minimum.
*** Factory-fabricated board made of non-
combustible materials, normally fibers, having
thermal conductivity in range of one (Btu-inch)/
(hr./sq. ft./°F) or less.
+ Mineral wool batts (blanket or board), having min.
density of 8 lb/ft3 and a min. melting point of
1500°F.
