Installation

SAFETY NOTICE: IF YOUR STOVE IS NOT PROP- ERLY INSTALLED, A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, FOLLOW THE INSTAL- LATION INSTRUCTIONS. CONTACT LOCAL BUILD- ING OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATION INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA.

Before you begin an installation, review your plans to see that:

•Your stove and chimney connector will be far enough from combustible material to meet all clearance requirements.

•The floor protector is large enough and is con- structed properly to meet all requirements.

•You have all necessary permits from local author-

ities.

Your local building official is the final authority for ap- proving your installation as safe and determining that it meets local and state codes.

The metal label permanently attached to the back of every Vermont Castings stove indicates the stove has been tested to current standards. The test standard is EN13240:2001 + A2:2004 for Europe. Clearance and installation information also is printed on the label. When the stove is installed according to the information both on the label and in this manual, local authorities in most cases will accept the label as evidence that the installation meets codes and can be approved.

However, codes vary in different countries. Before starting the installation, review your plans with the local building authority. You local dealer can provide any ad- ditional information needed.

IMPORTANT: Failure to follow these installation instructions may result in a dangerous situation, in- cluding a chimney or house fire. Follow all instruc- tions exactly, and do not allow makeshift compro- mises to endanger property and personal safety.

All local regulations, including those referring to national and European standards, need to be com- plied with when installing this stove.

Outside Air

In some modern, super-insulated homes, there is not enough air for combustion because of insufficient air infiltration into the building. Such air enters a home through unsealed cracks and openings. Kitchen or bath exhaust fans can compete with the stove for available air and compound the problem.

When poor draft is caused by a low infiltration rate, opening a ground floor window on the windward side of the house and in the vicinity of the stove will usually alleviate the problem.

Another solution is to install a permanent outside air supply to the stove and/or room. In some areas, in fact, bringing air for combustion from outside the home directly to the air inlet of the stove is required for new construction.

An outside air supply is not affected by pressure varia- tions within the house, and improved stove perfor- mance often results. An Outside Air Adaptor Kit for the Intrepid II is available from your local Vermont Castings dealer.

What Kind of Chimney to Use

Your Intrepid II must be connected to a code-approved masonry chimney with a flue liner, to a relined masonry chimney that meets local codes, or to a prefabricated metal chimney. Whatever kind you use, the chimney and chimney connector must be in good condition and kept clean. Figure 2 shows the two chimney types.

lated chimney

Fig. 2 Standard chimney types.

If you use an existing masonry chimney, it must be inspected to ensure safe condition before the stove is installed. Your local professional chimney sweep, build- ing inspector, or fire department official will be able to inspect the chimney or provide a referral to someone who can.

The flue and chimney design must meet requirement J2, Part J of the building regulations 2000 (Combustion Appliances and Fuel Storage Systems).
