FLOOR PROTECTION

Freestandinginstallationsrequireaminimum33¼”wideby36”long
floorprotection.Thestovemustbeplacedonacontinuous(grouted
joints)noncombustiblematerialsuchasceramictile,cementboard,
brick,3/8”millboardorequivalent,orotherapprovedorlisted
materialsuitedforfloorprotection.

THEMATERIAL(S)USEDMUSTHAVE,ORCOMBINETOHAVE,A
MINIMUMINSULATIVERATINGOF‘R1’.

NOTE:CERAMICTILE,ORANYOTHERTILE,REQUIRESACONTINUOUSSHEETOF

VENTING
TheSP6000Multi‐FueliscertifiedforusewithlistedTYPEL‐Vent,3”or4”diameterinsize.ThestovewastestedwithSimpson
Duraventbrand.Class“A”chimneyisnotrequired.Refertotheinstructionsprovidedbytheventmanufacturer,especiallywhen
passingthroughawall,ceilingorroof.


Thisisapressurizedexhaustsystem.A
LLVENTCONNECTORJOINTSMUSTBESECUREDWITHATLEASTTHREESCREWSANDSEALEDwith500F
(260C)RTVsiliconesealantandUL‐181‐APfoiltapetoensureconsistentperformanceandtoavoidsmokespillage.

 DONOTCONNECTTHISUNITTOACHIMNEYFLUESERVINGANOTHERAPPLIANCE.
 DONOTINSTALLAFLUEDAMPERINTHEEXHAUSTVENTINGSYSTEMOFTHIS
UNIT.
 INSTALLVENTATCLEARANCESSPECIFIEDBYTHEVENTMANUFACTURER.
EQUIVALENTVENTLENGTH(EVL)
Thelongerthelengthofyourexhaustflue,themorerestrictionthereisinthesystem.Therefore,alargerdiameterpipeshouldbe
used.Assuch,priortopurchasingandinstallingyourunit,youshould
carefullyplanyourinstallationandcalculatetheequivalent
ventlength(EVL)ofyourplannedinstallation.UsethefollowingtocalculateyourEVL:
 90ºElboworTee =5Feet
 45ºElbow =3Feet
 HorizontalPipe =1Footperactualfoot(actualmeasurement)
 VerticalPipe =
½Footperactualfoot(1/2ofactualmeasurement)

IfyourEVLislessthan15’youmayuse3”diameterpipe.However,ifyourEVLis15’orgreateryoumustuse4”diameterpipe.If
yourexhaustconfigurationhasthreeelbows,orifyouhaveacornerinstallation
goingoutasidewall,4”diameterpipeshouldbe
usedregardlessofyourEVLcalculation.
