Milwaukee 1500HT Reduced Masonry Structure Clearance Alcove, Floor Protection, USA Requirements

PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION

REDUCED MASONRY STRUCTURE CLEARANCE (ALCOVE)

Your Earth Stove can be installed in a masonry struc- ture with reduced clearances if the structure was built to National Building Code for fireplaces and chimneys (UBC 37).

The firebox of the masonry structure must be of ade- quate size to allow a minimum of 6" (152 mm) clear- ance to the sides and top of the stove and 2" (51 mm) clearance to the rear. All stove models must be installed on their original listed legs or base unless otherwise specified by OMNI Testing Laboratory.

FLOOR PROTECTION

This appliance requires a non-combustible floor protec- tion for ember protection. If the floor protection is to be stone, tile, brick, etc., it must be mortared or grouted to form a continuous non-combustible surface. If a chim- ney connector extends horizontally over the floor, pro- tection must cover the floor under the connector and at least 2" (51 mm) to either side.

The floor protection must extend completely beneath the stove and to the front, sides, and rear as indicated:

USA REQUIREMENTS

16” minimum to the front of the fuel door glass

8" minimum beyond the sides of the fuel door opening 0” minimum to the back of the stove body

CANADA REQUIREMENTS

18” (457 mm) min. to the front of the fuel door glass 8” (203 mm) min. beyond the sides of the stove body 8” (203 mm) min. to the back of the stove body

REMOVE ASH DRAWER CLIP

The ash drawer is secured for shipping with a small retaining screw at the top of drawer. Remove and dis- card this screw.

VENTILATION

(Residential homes which do not require an outside air inlet). Ventilation is essential when using a solid fuel stove. The combustion process uses oxygen from in- side the home and it may be necessary to open a win- dow or install a vent to provide combustion air in a house that is well insulated.

OUTSIDE AIR

In all manufactured (mo- bile) homes and in many site built residences (sub- ject to local code), a stove may be required to use outside air for combustion. A 5 ¼” (133 mm) square outside air floor duct is available through your dealer.

This stove can take in outside air directly through the base. This type installation requires a hole through the floor pro- tector and the use of outside air floor duct (catalog # 14M67) to penetrate into the air space below the home.

NOTE: Because the base sits 1" (25.4 mm) off the floor, the outside air floor duct can be positioned along the front to rear center line under the pedestal, but as close to the opening in the base as location permits. The outside air floor duct opening must be protected from any possible obstruction including loose floor insu- lation.

MANUFACTURED (MOBILE) HOME REQUIREMENTS

This stove is certified as a Room Heater, Solid Fuel Type and may be used in Manufactured Housing providing the following requirements are followed:

•An outside air inlet must be provided for combustion and be unrestricted while unit is in use.

•WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL IN SLEEPING ROOM.

•Regulations require that the appliance must be secured to the floor and grounded to the chassis. See Securing the Stove to the Floor (and) Grounding Stove, page 7.

•Required venting is 6” (152 mm) diameter Type L-Vent connector pipe with listed factory-built 103HT chimney suitable for use with solid fuels or a code approved ma- sonry chimney. Approved brands of factory built chimney are listed in this manual. Rain cap and spark arrestors are required (see Clearances, page 5).

•CAUTION: THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MOBILE HOME FLOOR, WALL, AND CEILING/ROOF MUST BE MAINTAINED.

•The chimney must provide for a section joint so that any parts extending above 13' 6" (412 cm) from ground level can be removed for transportation of the manufactured (mobile) dwelling.
