Setting up Your Phoenix
Wood Stove
UNPACKING
HearthStone packages your Phoenix stove with
the greatest care, so that it ships safely. Under
certain circumstances, however, damage can
occur during transit and handling. When you
receive your stove, unpack it carefully,
inspecting your stove and all parts for damage.
Also, make sure that all parts are included with
the stove, on the stove, or in the firebox. If any
parts are damaged or missing, please contact
your dealer immediately.
INSTALLING YOUR STOVE
First, you must decide where to situate your
stove. After choosing an appropriate spot,
inspect this location to make sure that the stove
will have enough clearance to combustible
materials that would surround the stove. These
combustibles can include walls, floor, ceiling,
fireplace, and chimney. You must carefully
consider the clearances to all of these
combustibles before actually connecting your
stove. When considering these clearances, also
decide the kind of floor the stove will rest on.
Depending on your floor, you can install your
stove as it is, or use a floor protector (Hearth).
You will need to purchase a reversible 45°
elbow for the flue collar exit. By reversing the
45° elbow, the stove can be installed as either a
rear exit stove (stovepipe typically exiting
horizontally from the back of the stove into a
chimney) or a top exit stove (stovepipe typically
exiting vertically up from the stove into a close
clearance chimney through the ceiling and up
above the roofline). These and other methods of
installation are acceptable as long as all
clearances, codes and other installation
instructions are observed.
Use this section to plan how to situate your
stove in your particular location. Consider both
the clearances of the stovepipe and the stove
itself to the surrounding combustibles.
The soapstone walls of the Phoenix soapstone
stove produce an even, radiant heat. Locate the
stove centrally in your living area to allow the
heat to travel naturally to distant rooms. It is not
recommended that you locate your stove in an
uninsulated basement. The amount of radiant
energy required to heat concrete basement walls
is so great that most of the usable heat is
absorbed by them and lost to the rest of the
home.
Read this chapter to obtain a sound
understanding of how to properly install your
stove.
If you use a close clearance connector pipe, it
must be listed, and tested to UL standards.
Check the listing of
your pipe for actual
clearances. The diagrams in this manual
represent typical installations, but are specific to
the Simpson Dura-Vent DVL brand. Clearances
cannot be reduced without the use of close
clearance connector pipe and/or by protecting
the surfaces per NFPA 211 standards.
