Floor Protection Requirements

If the Oakleaf is being installed on a combustible floor, the bottom heat shield (part # 1-00-797058) must be installed along with proper floor protection material. (See page 25). Floor protection must be a minimum 3/8" (9.5mm) thickness of material having an insulating value equal to or better than 0.84k/in. (The lower the k value, the better the protection.)

Another method for calculating floor protection is in R value. This requirement would be for an R value of

0.45or higher. (The higher the R value, the better the protection). Example- 1 inch of Durock® = 0.52R

In all installations, the area under and around the stove must be protected from falling ash and live coals. The area under a horizontal run of chimney connector must also be protected, extending two (2) inches beyond the measurement of the horizontal connector.

Further guidelines for floor protection are as follows: In the U.S. the floor protector must be completely under the stove, and extending 16" in front of the door

opening, 8" to each side and 8" to the back.

In Canada, the floor protection must extend 18" (457mm) in front of the door opening, 8" (203mm) to each side and extend to the wall behind the stove.

DANGER: The appliance legs may not be removed for installation.

Minimum Size floor protection (USA) is 48" Deep By 32.5" Wide.
