Parallel versus Corner Installations
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
distances from the stove are: 1) to the side wall, 18" ;
2) to the back wall, 16". From the chimney connector
to the wall, 18" and to the ceiling, 36". Fireplace instal-
lations must meet these same clearance requirements;
specifically follow these guidelines for mantel and trim
clearances.
For corner installations, the clearance distances
from the stove are 12" 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" in the U.S. and 60" in Canada.
Floor Protection
In all installations, the area under and around
the stove must be protected from falling ash and live
coals. The floor protector must be of noncombustible
material, and positioned as shown in the accompanying
illustration. The guidelines for floor protection are: 1)
completely under the stove and any horizontal runs of
connector; 2) 2"(50mm) in back of the stove; 3) 8"(200
mm) to each side; 4) U.S. 16"(405 mm) in front of the
doors; Canada 18" (450 mm) in front of the doors.
Clearances
Clearance is the empty space required between
the stove or chimney connector to the nearest combus-
tible surface or object, such as walls, ceilings, floors, or
furniture. 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 authority for information if you are interested
in reducing clearance distances other than those pre-
sented here.
