ᐅ Requirements for Fireplace/Stove Clearances

Hello everyone,

I have a quick question because I haven’t been able to reach my local chimney specialist.

We are planning to install a stove inside, and next to it there will be a double wall where wood is intended to be stacked. The house has a bay window. In the corner between the bay window and the house wall, the chimney will extend upwards.

Now I have a question:
For walls or combustible materials, I believe the required clearance is 30cm (12 inches), correct? That would correspond to point 2 on the drawing.
But is there also a regulation regarding the clearance for point 1? There is also a rainwater pipe running along the wall.
So, what is the minimum distance the external chimney must maintain from the wall?

Please see the attached drawing.

Thank you.

In that case, I would wait until they are available again, after all, the chimney sweep association holds a certain "authority," completely independent of what is posted here :-)

Best regards

Distance from combustible parts = 1m (3.3 ft)
to non-combustible parts approximately 20 to 30cm (8 to 12 inches)

ps.. everything else will be specified by your home savings contract.. because, as mentioned above, it is the one that decides what you --must-- have

Thank you for the information.

And what about the external chimney, does anyone know about that?
