Your local dealer or your local building inspector can
provide details for other approved methods of passing
a chimney connector through a combustible wall in your
area. In Canada, this type of installation must conform
to CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid Fuel
Burning Appliances and Equipment.

NOTE: Do not vent your Intrepid II into a factory-built
(zero-clearance) fireplace. These appliances and their
chimneys are specifically designed as a unit for use as
fireplaces. It may void the listing or be hazardous to
adapt them for any other use.
DO NOT CONNECT AN INTREPID II TO ANY AIR
DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.
Floor Protection
A tremendous amount of heat radiates from the bottom
plate of an Intrepid II, and the floor beneath requires
two kinds of special protection.
Heat protection is provided by a Bottom Heat Shield,
part #0307.
Spark and ember protection is provided by a floor pro-
tector, which may be any noncombustible material.
For a new hearth, we recommend a noncombustible
floor protector such as 1/4” non-asbestos mineral board
or its equivalent, or 24 gauge sheet metal. If carpeting
is present, it must be removed before installation of the
floor protector. The floor protector may be covered with
a noncombustible decorative material if desired. When
using brick, tile, or stone, individual pieces must be
mortared so sparks cannot fall through.
Most installations will require that the bottom heat
shield be attached. Only when the stove is placed
on a completely noncombustible surface, such as
unpainted concrete over earth, may it be used with-
out the bottom heat shield.
Even with the bottom heat shield installed, you must
also use a floor protector.
In the United States, the floor protector required under
the stove must extend at least 16” from the front of the
stove - not from the ashlip - (Labeled ‘E’ in Fig. 11), and
at least 6” from the sides and rear (‘D’, Fig. 11).
To meet the requirement in the United States, a floor
protector must be at least 34” wide and 40” deep.
In Canada, the floor protector required under the stove
must extend 18” (460mm) to the front (labeled ‘E’, Fig.
11), and 8” (200mm) from the sides and rear. (‘D’ ,Fig. 11)
To meet Canadian requirements, a floor protector must
be at least 38” (965 mm) wide and 44” (1118 mm) deep.
Floor protection also must extend under the chimney
connector and 2” (51 mm) to either side. (‘C’, Fig. 11)
For 6” (152 mm) connector used with the Intrepid II, the
protector must be a minimum of 10” (254 mm) wide,
centered under the connector.
