FLOOR AND WALL PROTECTION
Floor Protection
If your floor is constructed of a non-combustible material such as brick or concrete, there is no
need for floor protection. If the floor is constructed of a combustible material such as hardwood,
linoleum, or carpet, then you will be required to use floor protection between the unit and the
combustible. The protection should be U.L. approved or equal, and should be large enough to
provide a minimum of six inches (6”) behind and on both sides of the stove. The clearance in front
of the stove should be at least six inches (6”). This freestanding pellet unit will need a minimum 36”
x 36” floor protector.
Wall Protection
From the rear and the sides of this stove only six inches (6”) of clearance is required to
paneling, wallpaper or drywall. The pellet vent pipe would require the standard three inches (3”)
clearance, or as recommended by the manufacturer. Normally additional wall protection is not
required with this type unit.
1. If 3” flue pipe exceeds 15’ in length, increase to 4” flue pipe for remaining flue connections.
2. Total flue length should not exceed 35’.
3. Horizontal run not to exceed 4’.
4. Floor protector required: Min. size 36” x 36”.
5. If the total run of outside air connection exceeds 6’, if more than 2 elbows are used, or if a basement install,
use 3” metal pipe (and coupler) instead.
6. Outside Air is mandatory for proper safe operation.
