Clearances To Combustibles
Due to high surface temperatures, the Tucson
should be located out of traffic and away from
furniture and draperies. Clothing and other
flammable material should not be placed on or
near the Tucson heater.
Always maintain adequate clearances around the
air openings into the combustion chamber and
allow for adequate ventilation. Minimum
clearances to combustibles must be maintained as
shown in the illustrations on page 6. Note that the
rear clearance to combustibles will be determined
by either the unit’s or vent pipe’s minimum
clearance, depending on whether the installation
calls for vertical rise within the room or a rear
exit, through-the-wall vent pipe.
Hearth Requirements / Floor
Protection The Tucson can be installed on a
non-combustible surface or wood floor. For
installation of the Tucson on carpeting, vinyl tile
or other combustible material other than wood
flooring, the unit shall be installed on a metal,
wood panel or other non-combustible hearth.
The required size of the hearth is the same as the
outline of the stove.
*NOTE: These clearances are based on
independent laboratory testing to ANSI and
CSA standards. They represent minimum
distances in all cases to prevent fire or
spontaneous combustion. The combustible
materials exposed to heat by this product are not
controlled by us, therefore, an assessment of the
effect of heat on the surroundings must be made
by the installer to prevent consequential damage
of walls or flooring.
