Features

• Critical Close Clearance Chimney Protection: Designed for 6"-8" DuraPlus triple-wall chimney systems, the close clearance shield allows safe roof penetration when clearance to roof trusses or rafters is less than the standard 2 inches in wood stove chimney installations.
• Roof Penetration Safety Solution: Specifically engineered for chimney pipe roof pass-through applications, ensuring proper heat protection and safe installation in tight attic and roof space configurations.
• Essential for Reduced Clearance Installations: Provides a compliant solution for all-fuel chimney venting systems where standard clearance requirements cannot be maintained due to structural limitations.
• Precise Chimney Alignment Requirement: Requires the chimney pipe to be centered within the close clearance shield, ensuring optimal airflow, heat protection, and safe operation in triple-wall chimney systems.
• Improves Fire Safety in Tight Spaces: Helps reduce risk of heat transfer to surrounding framing, enhancing overall chimney fire safety and residential installation protection.
