INSTALLATION

MASONRY AND FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACE CLEARANCES

The minimum required clearances to combustible materials when installed into a masonry or factory built fi replace are listed below.

Side and Top facing is a maximum of 1.5" thick. Floor protection must be non-combustible, insula- tive material with an R value of 1.1 or greater.

*Hearth thickness of 0.5" with k value = 0.84", R value = 6 or greater.

**Anon-combustible mantel may be installed at a lower height if the framing is made of metalstudscoveredwithanon-combustible board.

**Max. mantle depth is 10" (254mm).

Thermal fl oor protection is not required if the unit is raised 3.5" minimum (measured from the bottom of the stove). However, standard ember fl oor protec- tion is required. It will need to be a non-combustible material that covers 16" (406 mm) in the US and 18" (450 mm) in Canada to the front of the unit and 8" (200 mm) to the sides.

If the unit is not raised, thermal fl oor protection required is 18" (450 mm) in the US and Canada.

All fl oor protection must be non-combustible (i.e., metals, brick, stone, mineral fi ber boards, etc.)Any organic materials (i.e. plastics, wood paper prod- ucts, etc.) are combustible and must not be used. The fl oor protection specifi ed includes some form of thermal designation such as R-value (thermal resistance) or k-factor (thermal conductivity).
