PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION

REDUCED MASONRY STRUCTURE CLEARANCE
(ALCOVE)
Your Earth Stove can be installed in a masonry struc-
ture with reduced clearances if the structure was built to
National Building Code for fireplaces and chimneys
(UBC 37).
The firebox of the masonry structure must be of ade-
quate size to allow a minimum of 6" (152 mm) clear-
ance to the sides and top of the stove and 2" (51 mm)
clearance to the rear. All stove models must be installed
on their original listed legs or base unless otherwise
specified by OMNI Testing Laboratory.
FLOOR PROTECTION
This appliance requires a non-combustible floor protection for
ember protection. If the floor protection is to be stone, tile,
brick, etc., it must be mortared or grouted to form a continu-
ous non-combustible surface. If a chimney connector ex-
tends horizontally over the floor, protection must cover the
floor under the connector and at least 2" (51 mm) to either
side.
The floor protection must extend completely beneath the
stove and to the front, sides, and rear as indicated:
USA Requirements
16” (406 mm) min. to the front of the fuel door glass
8” (203 mm) min. beyond the sides of the fuel door opening
Canada Requirements
18” (457 mm) min. to the front of the fuel door glass
8” (203 mm) min. beyond the sides of the stove body

PROTECTED WALL CLEARANCE
Some local codes will allow reduced clearances when the
stove is installed adjacent to a protected wall system. The
variance must be approved by your local building official.
Normally, the protected wall system is defined as a non-
combustible material with a minimum of 1" (25.4 mm) air
space behind. Check your local building codes or with a
qualified installer (Ref. NFPA 211).
OUTSIDE AIR
In all manufactured (mobile) homes and in many site built
residences (subject to local code), a stove may be required
to use outside air for combustion. A 3” (76 mm) diameter
outside air floor duct is available through your dealer.
This appliance utilizes a 3" (76 mm) diameter outside air
floor duct (Catalog # 14M66). Outside air can be taken from
beneath the home or through an outside wall. The collar for
connecting flex to stove in on the underside of the stove as
shown here.
