provided while operating this stove.
1. The stove must be placed on solid concrete, solid
masonry, or when installed on a combustible floor,
on a Type 2 floor protector listed to standard UL
1618 with a minimum R value of 3.0 and a minimum
thickness of 1” or equivalent. The floor protector
is required to provide heat, live ember, and ash
protection and must be of a non-combustible, con-
tinuous solid surface to protect against infiltration of
live embers and ash. For UL Listed floor protectors,
refer to manufacturers instructions for installation
directions. Manufacturers of listed floor protectors
include Imperial Metal Products and Hy-C among
others. To calculate R-Values for alternative meth-
ods, see page 16. Floor protector must extend at
least 18” beyond the front of the hearth, to the sides,
and beyond the rear of the stove. The area under a
horizontal run of the chimney connector must also
be protected; extending two (2) inched beyond the
outer dimension of the horizontal connector. The
minimum sized floor protector for this stove is 52” x
74”. Consult local building codes and fire protection
ordnances.
CAUTION: (FIRE HAZARD) CARPETING AND
OTHER COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL MUST NOT
COVER THE FLOOR PROTECTOR. THESE
MATERIALS MUST REMAIN OUTSIDE OF
COMBUSTIBLE CLEARANCES, SEE FIG. 6-8.
2. The stove must have its own flue. DO NOT CON-
NECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR
SYSTEM.
3. After observing the clearances to combus-
tible materials (figure 6–8), locate your floor
protector accordingly and carefully place the stove
in your selected location. Install connector pipe,
elbows, and thimble as required, utilizing either a re-
cently cleaned and inspected 6˝ masonry chimney
or a 6˝ i.d. UL 103 HT listed manufactured chimney.
Maximum 64 square inches..
4. Use round 6˝ dia., minimum 24 MSG black or 26
MSG blue steel stove pipe to connect the stove
to the chimney. Do not use galvanized stove pipe.
Secure connector pipe to the flue collar with three
(3) sheet metal screws. Use three screws in each
stove pipe and/or elbow joint to firmly hold the pipe
