Floor Protector

Installation on a Concrete Floor

An appliance mounted on a concrete floor does not require floor protection.

Carpeting and any other combustible material shall not cover the Floor Protector.

If a combustible surface is applied to the concrete floor, a clearance must be maintained equivalent to the area reserved for the floor protector. See diagram below.

Installation on a Combustible Floor

If the appliance is to be installed on a combustible floor or a combustible floor covering, it must be installed on a 3/8”(10mm) thick non-combustible millboard floor protector or durable equivalent. The pad must be installed beneath the appliance extending 18”(457mm)in Canada, 16”(406mm) in the U.S. on any side equipped with a door, and 8”(203mm) on all other sides. In the U.S. the pad must cover any horizontal chimney connector runs and extend 2”(51mm) beyond each side.

A grouted ceramic floor-tile surface installed per local building code is considered a durable equivalent.
