Fig. 12 Approved wall shield construction.

In top-exiting installations in which the single-wall con- nector extends to the ceiling and connects to a prefab- ricated insulated metal chimney, the connector shield must extend to within an inch of the ceiling. A ceiling heat shield must be installed that is 22” (560 mm) in diameter and, as explained above, that extends 1”

(25 mm) below the ceiling. The ceiling shield must be constructed of 24 gauge or heavier sheet metal, must be centered on the chimney, and must meet any wall protector that is also a part of the installation.

The Intrepid Multi-Fuel has not been tested with double- wall connectors and wall heat shielding. Maintain 12” (305 mm) clearance around double-wall chimney connectors. No further clearance reduction is per- mitted.

Fireplace and Mantel Trim Shields

A fireplace installation requires special clearance be- tween the side of the stove and the right and left walls, between the side of the stove and the decorative side trim on the fireplace face, and between the top of the stove and the mantel.

Noncombustible shields installed 1” (25 mm) away from the combustible surface on noncombustible spacers, called ventilated shields, may be used to reduce clear- ances. (Fig. 13)

To protect a mantel from the heat of an Intrepid Multi- fuel in a fireplace installation, the ventilated mantel shield must be at least 48” (1219 mm) long, and it must be centered over the stove. Ventilated shields for side trim must extend the full length of the trim.

An unprotected mantel (‘A’, Fig. 14) cannot be more than 9” (229 mm) deep and must have a minimum clearance of 30” (762 mm), measured from the stove’s top plate. With a ventilated shield, (Fig. 13) this clear- ance may be reduced safely to 14” (356 mm).

Unprotected top trim (B) protruding 2” (51 mm) or less from the face of the fireplace must be a minimum of 24” (610 mm) from the stove’s top surface. With a venti- lated trim shield, this clearance may be reduced safely to 14” (356 mm).

Unprotected side trim (C) that protrudes 2” (51 mm) or less from the face of a fireplace must have a minimum clearance of 15” (380 mm), measured from the stove’s top side edge. With a ventilated trim shield, the clear- ance may be reduced safely to 10” (254 mm). If the trim extends more than 2” (51 mm), wall clearance requirements apply.

The charts and sample installations that follow list the clearances required for the various installation configu- rations of the Intrepid Multi-fuel.

The Vermont Castings 1695 is a stellar model in the realm of wood stoves, noted for its blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern efficiency. This timeless piece not only serves as a functional heating solution but also as a stylish addition to home décor, making it a popular choice for homeowners seeking both utility and aesthetics.

One of the standout features of the Vermont Castings 1695 is its impressive heating capacity. With the ability to heat areas up to 2,000 square feet, this stove is ideal for larger living spaces or for providing supplementary heat in smaller homes. Its robust construction, crafted from heavy-duty cast iron, ensures that heat is evenly distributed throughout the room, creating a cozy atmosphere.

The 1695’s primary innovation lies in its advanced combustion technology. With a patented secondary combustion process, this wood stove maximizes efficiency by re-burning gases and particulates that would typically escape through the flue. This not only results in cleaner emissions, which is beneficial for the environment, but also means longer burn times and less frequent reloading of wood, allowing users to enjoy their fire without constant maintenance.

Moreover, the Vermont Castings 1695 features a smooth-operating air control system. This system enables users to easily adjust the burn rate, which helps to manage heat output and fuel consumption. This level of control ensures that the stove operates at peak efficiency, reducing waste and optimizing performance.

In terms of design, the Vermont Castings 1695 boasts an elegant look with a classic cast-iron façade and an attractive firebox window. The large viewing window allows users to enjoy the mesmerizing flames while providing a source of warmth. The design is not just visually appealing; the cast iron surface also retains heat well, radiating warmth long after the fire has died down.

Durability is another hallmark of the Vermont Castings brand, and the 1695 model is no exception. Built to last, it withstands the rigors of regular use, making it a wise investment for homeowners. Additionally, the stove is available in various finishes, allowing for customization to fit different home styles.

In summary, the Vermont Castings 1695 is a well-rounded wood stove that combines traditional aesthetics with modern technologies. Its efficiency, effective heating capability, and attractive design make it a favored choice among wood stove enthusiasts and environmentally conscious consumers alike. Whether used as a primary heating source or a supplemental one, this stove delivers warmth, comfort, and style.
