True but it is usually listed as part of the manufacturers installation instructions.
I have fought the "it meets NFPA 96" many times over the years and the only time I allow an installer to go there is if it is part of the installation instructions
It works both ways because in my area everybody wants to put a wood stove in a garage. However the manufactures installation says to follow NFPA 211. Section 12.2.4 says Solid fuel burning appliances shall not be installed in any garage.
The listed hoods I have seen have a 3" spacer built on the hood at the top and at the back. The spacer and the insulation are included in the hood package. In the past, at least 10 years ago, the 3" spacer was installed on the wall or the hood by the installer. I also supplied the insulation. Now the spacer is built at the factory, and hood mfr supplies the insulation.
