If you use a rear heat shield to obtain reduced clearances, you must only use the optional rear heat shield
manufactured by HearthStone specifically for the Equinox Model 8000 (Heat Shield part number: 90-68000) , which
is available through your local dealer. Use only close clearance connector pipe tested to UL standards and listed.
Check listings of your pipe for actual clearances. Measurements shown above and on the following page are
specific to the Simpson Dura Vent DVL brand. Do not reduce clearances without the use of the rear heat shield
and/or with close clearance connector pipe and/or by protecting the combustible surfaces per NFPA 211 standards.
See NFPA-211 for protected surface clearance requirements.
HearthStone’s Thermo-Ceramic Baffle System
To enhance the combustion efficiency and reduce the emissions from the fire in your stove, HearthStone
QHHP, Inc. has developed an advanced THERMO-CERAMIC baffle system. This system uses a lightweight,
durable ceramic material above the secondary air tubes to maintain the high temperatures in the secondary
combustion area and maintain the low emission – high efficiency combustion you desire. This new technology
will not corrode, rust, dissolve or lose its strength, however it is vulnerable to puncture or cracking due to
rough handling.
PLEASE EXERCISE CARE WHEN LOADING WOOD OR CLEANING YOUR
STOVE, NOT TO DAMAGE THE Thermo-Ceramic BAFFLE
Located directly above the burner tubes in the firebox, this white sheet of material will break if wood or
cleaning brushes impact it. Be careful when loading and cleaning your stove to not break this material. If this
piece is fractured or a hole is punctured, it will cause the stove to function improperly. You must replace the
board if there is damage. Contact your HearthStone dealer for a replacement.
