FLOOR PROTECTION

The floor must be non-combustible or otherwise adequately protected from radiant heat given off by the unit and from sparks and falling embers. A layer of thin brick or ceramic tile over a combustible floor is not sufficient.

In US installations, it is necessary to install a floor protector of 1" (k value = .45) thick metal clad millboard or equivalent at least 16" in front and 8" to both sides of the loading door. See Figures 5A & 5C.

In Canada, similar floor protection must be provided 18" in front and 8" from the sides and rear of the stove. See Figures 5B & 5C.

(Thermal Conductivity) “k” = BTU in./hr. ft2 F (based on 1" thickness)

To substitute alternate insulation material, you need to know the “k” factor for that material. To calculate the required thickness for the alternate material use the following formula:

	“k”	of Alternate material
		x .50 = Thickness of alternate-
	.45	x .50 = Thickness of alternate-

EXAMPLE: The “k” value of brick = 5

5x .50 = 5.5 inches of brick is

.45	required to meet the
