Designing a Safe Installation

The section that follows contains charts with the infor- mation that you’ll need to make your installation safe. Included are a chart to tell you exactly where to cut the hole in the ceiling so that the stove will meet clearance requirements, a chart that gives stove clearances for all installations, and a chart to illustrate the required sizes of wall shields for various installations.

Refer to these charts as you plan the installation and do not compromise on any of the dimensions listed.

Clearance Chart Reference Diagrams

Refer to the diagrams below when using the Stove and Chimney Connector Clearance Chart which fol- lows. For example, the letter “A” gives the minimum side clearance for installations in which the stove is not equipped with a rear heat shield and the wall beside the stove is not protected. “D” gives the minimum side clearance when the stove does not have a rear heat shield, but the wall is protected.

Measure clearance distances from the top plate of the stove or chimney connector to the wall, not the wall protector.
