Quadra-Fire Floor Protection, Locating Your Stove, Isle Royale Wood Stove

Isle Royale Wood Stove

FLOOR PROTECTION

The floor must be non-combustible material, extending beneath heater and to the front, sides and rear as indicated. The floor must be non-combustible or otherwise adequately protected from radiant heat given off by the unit and from sparks and falling embers. A layer of thin brick or ceramic tile over a combustible floor is not sufficient. See Alternate floor protection calculation sample on page 8.

In USA installations, it is necessary to install a floor protector of 1 inch ("k" value = .45) thick metal clad millboard or equiva- lent at least 16 inches in front and 8 inches to both sides of the loading door. If Hearth Leg kit is used in rear vent installation, floor protector must extend 18 inches (457mm) in front of the fuel loading door opening. See *exception below.

In Canada, similar floor protection must be provided 18 inches (457mm) in front and 8 inches (203mm) from the sides and rear of the stove. See *exception below.

*EXCEPTION: Non combustile floor protections must extend beneath the flue pipe when installed with horizontal venting and extend 2 inches (51mm) beyond each side.

LOCATING YOUR STOVE

WHEN LOCATING YOUR STOVE consider safety, conve- nience, traffic flow, and the fact that the stove will need a chimney and chimney connector. It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using exact measurements for clearances and floor protection, before actually beginning the installation. If you’re not using an existing chimney, place the stove where there will be a clear passage for a factory-built listed chimney through the ceiling and roof.

AVOID FIRE: Maintain the designated clearances to combus- tibles. Insulation must not touch the chimney. You must main- tain the designated air space clearance around the chimney. This space around a chimney is necessary to allow natural heat removal from the area. Insulation in this space will cause a heat buildup, which may ignite wood framing. NOTE:

Clearances may only be reduced by means approved by the regulatory authority having jurisdiction.

WE RECOMMEND that you have a qualified building inspec- tor and your insurance company representative review your plans before and after installation.
