Default Enclosed Hot Water vent?

I recently moved into a new house. Upstairs in a coner of the room the
propane ho****er vent runs through the floor up through the ceiling.
With the ho****er heater running the pipe never gets to hot to touch.
Can I enclose the pipe with a couple of 1x8s in other words box the
vent pipe in the corner?

Since it doesn't get hot to touch it is reasonable to assume it is B type
pipe. You can enclose as long as you leave at least 1" clearance between the
pipe and any combustible materials
