Generated explanation

The illustration shows a freestanding wood stove protected by a metal wall shield, with a perspective drawing and a side-view inset. Noncombustible spacers hold the shield 1 inch away from the wall. The inset shows the shield extending 18 inches beyond each side of the stove and 20 inches above its top, with a 1-inch gap below the shield and a labeled 3-inch gap above. The shield is specified as 29 gauge sheet metal, or bricks, ceramic tiles, or other noncombustible material attached to that sheet metal. The stove stands on a brick base over a larger floor-protection sheet; its vent connector is explicitly not shown. An annotation states that manufacturers' recommended clearances can be reduced by 67% with wall shields installed as shown.
