In all installations, the area under and around the stove
must be protected from falling ash and live coals. The
oor protector must be of noncombustible material, and
positioned as shown in the accompanying illustration.
Completely under the stove and any horizontal runs
of connector. The oor protection must extend a mini-
mum of 2" (51mm) beyond each side of the horizontal
connector;
8"(203 mm) to each side and to the rear of the ap-
pliance;
U.S. 16"(405 mm) in front of the doors; Canada
18" (457 mm) in front of the doors.
Clearance is the empty space required between the
stove or chimney connector to the nearest combustible
surface or object, such as walls, ceilings, oors, or furni-
ture. Clearance distances may only be reduced by using
methods approved by either the CAN/CSA B365 standard
(Canada) or NFPA 211 (U.S.) Contact your building au-
thority for information if you are interested in reducing
clearance distances other than those presented here.
A parallel installation is one in which the back and sides
of the stove are parallel to the walls behind and to the side
of the stove. A corner installation is one in which the back
of the stove is positioned diagonally across a corner of the
room. Each installation requires its own set of clearances.
For parallel installations the required clearance dis-
tances from the stove are: 18" (457mm) to the side wall
and 16" (405mm) to the back wall. From the chimney
connector to the rear wall must be 18" (457mm), to the
side wall 27" (685mm) and to the ceiling, 36" (914mm).
Fireplace installations must meet these same clearance
requirements; specically follow these guidelines for
mantel and trim clearances.
For corner installations, the clearance distances from
the stove are 12" (305mm) from each corner of the stove
measured straight to the nearest combustible material.
From the front of the stove, clearance to combustible
materials such as furniture, curtains, fuel, etc., is: 48"
(1219mm) in the U.S. and 60" (1524mm) in Canada.
