Flooring requirements
Combustible floor must be protected with non-combustible material beneath the unit and
extending 16-in (450-mm Canada) to the front and 8-in (200-mm Canada) beyond each side
of the fuel/ash removal opening. For horizontal cimney connectors, non-combustible material
must be place beneath the connector and 2-in to each side.
You must ensure that the floor can hold the weight of the stove comfortably.
U.S. Canada
A. 33” 33” ( 840 mm )
B. 40” 42” ( 1070 mm )
C 6” 8” ( 200 mm )
D. 8” 8” ( 200 mm )
E. 16” 18” ( 450 mm )
If using rear exit the floor protection must
extend beneath the chimney connector
and 2-in beyond each side.
Distance to furniture
The recommended minimum distance from stove to furniture is 30 inches. Note that some
furniture is more easily affected by heat and may need to be moved to a greater distance. This
is your responsibility.
In addition other combustible materials, away from the stove. In general, a distance of 30 inches
must be maintained between the stove and moveable combustible item such as drying clothes,
newspapers, firewood etc.
Note:
Acid Protection
If acid-washing the masonry around the stove, protect the stove surface with an acid-proof
cover
Fresh Air Inlet
Unless there is deemed to be sufficient ambient leakage of air into the room via doorways,
windows and the like, a dedicated fresh air inlet will be needed. This inlet should have 2 square
inches (1250 square mm) of free air space. This is particularly important where the room is
well sealed, or where an extractor hood or ventilation system disturbs the natural air pressure.
Such an inlet should not be on a wall that is usually subject to negative pressure from normal
wind pattern. Avoid placing the inlet directly across the room from the stove, thus causing a
cold air draft.
