Floor Protection

Atremendous amount of heat radiates from the

bottom plate of an Intrepid II, and the floor beneath requires two kinds of special protection.

Heat protection is provided by a Vermont Castings Bottom Heat Shield, part #0307.

Spark and ember protection is provided by a floor protector, which may be any noncombustible material.

For a new hearth, we recommend a noncombustible floor protector such as 1/4" non-asbestos mineral board or its equivalent, or 24 gauge sheet metal. If carpeting is present, it must be removed before installation of the floor protector. The floor protector may be covered with a noncombustible decorative material if desired. When using brick, tile, or stone, individual pieces must be mortared so sparks cannot fall through.

When the optional 3” (75mm) short legs are used, the bottom heat shield must be used.

Canadian Requirements:

In Canada, the Canadian Standards Association has established specific guidelines regarding wall pass- though design. Figure 13 shows one approved method in which all combustible material in the wall is cut away to provide the required 18" (457mm) clearance around the connector. The resulting space must remain empty. A flush-mounted sheet metal cover may be used on one side only. If covers must be used on both sides, each cover must be mounted on noncombustible spacers at least 1" (25mm) clear of the wall. Your local

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

Even with the bottom heat shield installed, you must also use a floor protector.

In the United States, the floor protector required under the stove must extend at least 16” from the front of the stove - not from the ashlip - ( ‘E’ in Fig. 14), and at least 6” from the sides and rear (‘D’, Fig. 14).

To meet the requirement in the United States, a floor protector must be at least 34” wide and 40” deep.
