Your local dealer or your local building inspector can provide details for other approved methods of passing a chimney connector through a combustible wall in your area. In Canada, this type of installation must conform to CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burning Appliances and Equipment.

NOTE: Do not vent your Encore into a factory-built (zero-clearance) fireplace. These appliances together with their specific chimneys are designed as a sys- tem for use as fireplaces. It may void the listing or be hazardous to adapt factory-built fireplaces for any other use.

Encore 1450 Non-Catalytic Woodburning Stove

Floor Protection

A tremendous amount of heat radiates from the bottom plate of your stove. The floor area directly under and around the stove will require protection from radiant heat as well as from stray sparks or embers that may escape the firebox.

Heat protection is provided through the bottom heat shield. Spark, ember and thermal protection must be provided by a floor protector constructed with noncom- bustible material as specified.

Most installations will require the bottom heat shield be attached. Only when the stove is placed on a complete- ly noncombustible surface such as unpainted concrete over earth may it be used without the heat shield.

Even when the bottom heat shield is installed, you must provide special protection to the floor beneath. For installation with the heat shield attached, use an approved 1/2” (13 mm) noncombustible hearth pad with k = 0.84 BTU/in ft2 hr °F or an equivalent material with an R-value of at least 0.59. (Refer to “How to Determine if Alternate Floor Protection Materials are Acceptable” section) The floor protector may be covered with a decorative noncombustible material if desired. Do not obstruct the space under the heater.

Protection requirements vary somewhat between the Untied States and Canada as follows:

U. S. installations the floor protector is required under the stove and must extend at least 16” (not including the ash lip) from the front of the stove (“F”, Fig. 12), and at least 6” from the sides and rear. (“D” and “E”, Fig.

12)It must also extend under the chimney connector and 2” to either side. (“C”, Fig. 12) For the 8” (203 mm) connector, the protector must be a minimum of 12”

(305 mm) wide. For the 6” (152 mm) connector, the protector must be 10” (254 mm) wide. The protector must be centered under the connector.

To meet these requirements, a floor protector must be at least 39” wide and 45” deep.

In Canada: A noncombustible floor protector is required under the stove as well. The floor protector must extend 18” (450 mm) to the front (“F”, Fig. 12), and 8” (200 mm) from the sides and rear. (“D” and “E”, Fig. 12)

To meet these requirements, a floor protector must be at least 43” (1092 mm) wide and 49” (1245 mm) deep.

Floor protection also must extend under the chimney connector and 2” (51 mm) to either side. (“C”, Fig. 12) For the 8” (203 mm) connector, the protector must be a minimum of 12” (305 mm) wide. For the 6” (152 mm) connector, it must be at least 10” (254 mm) wide. The protector must be centered under the connector.
