United States Stove 1261 owner manual Installation, Minimum Clearance To Combustible Walls

Installation

Place the heater on solid masonry or solid concrete. When the heater is used on a combustible floor, use an Underwrit- ers Listed floor protector. The floor protector must comply with UL Standards. The base should extend at least 16" beyond the door side of the heater and should extend under the flue pipe if it is elbowed towards a wall. (Fig. 5).

	Plate (1); Solid Damper (1); Lids (2); Pivoting Top (1);
	Lid Support (1); Parts Package (1) containing nuts,

	stove and carefully turn the stove onto its top side
	(bottom facing up).
4.	Attach hearth plate to the front of the stove in its proper
	location.
5.	Attach both rear and front legs to the stove. Tighten the
	nuts and bolts securely. The stove may now be
	CAREFULLY turned over to stand on it's four legs.
6.	Attach the baffle assembly and flue collar to the stove
	by inserting the baffle studs thru the two holes located
	on the top of the rear of the stove; place the flue collar
	over the studs and mount using the proper nuts and
	washers. Place lid support and lid in position on
	pivoting top. Place the slide damper in position on the
	top of the hearth plate and under the feed door, and
	secure with screw in slot.
7.	After consulting the installation instructions for mini-
	mum clearances to combustibles, locate your floor
	protector accordingly and carefully place the stove in
	your selected location. Install stove pipe, elbows and
	thimble as necessary, utilizing either a recently
	cleaned and inspected masonry chimney (properly
	lined) or a UL Listed chimney. Insure that the damper
	provided is installed in the flue collar.
8.	Again, check the following illustrations and be sure
	you have the clearances shown from the heater and
	the connector pipe to combustible surfaces. If you
	have a solid brick or stone wall behind your heater,
	you may place your heater as close as you wish to the
	wall. However, if the wall is only faced with brick or
	stone, consider it a combustible wall.
9.	If your chimney drafts excessively, purchase and use
	a Barometric Draft Regulator (DR6 available from
	factory).
10.	The chimney connection should be as short as pos-
	sible, and the heater must have its own flue. Do not
	connect this unit to a chimney flue serving other
	appliances.
11.	Use three sheet metal screws in each stove pipe and
	or elbow joint to firmly hold the pipe together.
12.	Do not install this heater in a mobile home or trailer.

14.Check your local building and insurance codes. The installation must comply with their rulings.
