Specs say we need 7” clearance with double wall
pipe. We have a brick wall behind our stove space (previously a propane stove) and are just wondering if we are indeed good or if we should place a corrugated sheet over the brick. Thank you!

What are the distances of F and C?
C is also important and your stove will have the required clearance needed.
If it is too short, a corrugated sheet with a one inch space behind will suffice.

The clearance is to the studs behind the brick. If that is honored then nothing else needs to be added.

It says F is supposed to be 16.5” from the pipe to wall and C is supposed to be 7”. We have that clearance (pipe to brick…whole brick) and will use double wall pipe.
