Wiring in same wall as Flue Pipe

[zippy99]

I have a new construction pole barn and have begun wiring.
The Panel is in one corner, and I've run wiring to the furthest wall.
I'm now doing the back wall which leads to my question.

I intend to install a pellet stove this fall. In order for me to add outlets along the portion of the wall that is past the stove, i need to eother run wiring through the section of wall that will contain the pass through for the flue pipe or I will need to run them overhead, presumably through the trusses.

My question is, if I use a standard flue arrangement for a pellet stove with a thimble pass through. Can I place wiring in the same wall cavity? and if so har far from the flue pipe does it need to be?
Is there a section in the code that addresses this situation?
The attached sketch sort of shows the layout. The panel and stove are marked. The path I would normally run the wiring is shown as the red line, ending past the stove.

Thanks

I don't think those pipes get to hot,I would stay away at least 6 inches if you can just to be safe. I know the double walled pipes you can usually touch with your hands and not get burned

Check with your county inspector - find out if it's allowed in code.

This has nothing to do with local code, and everything to do with UL sanctioned instructions provided by the stove manufacturer and UL approved thimble.

What are the clearances to combustible materials listed for the flue in the instructions? Hint, considering the thimble itself, if you're using a thimble: it is designed to be in CONTACT with combustible materials (namely, the wall). So, anything outside of the footprint of the thimble is just fine.

Other than that, you'll probably need a 6" separation.

@rlitman that was sort of what I assumed, I just wanted to run it past some others. I will be using a thimble and the wiring is several feet away. The thimble will be ~30" from the floor, I kept all of the wiring 10' above the floor in this area. Plenty of seperation

Thanks

If you are using the proper thimble and insulated class A flue pipe installed per the manufacturers instructions, then its a non-issue.
