CLEARANCES
FIGURE 5A
NOTE: Additional oor protection is required on
rear vent installations. For this type of installation the
oor protector must extend the length of the ue and 2"
to each side of the ue. Floor protection can consist of
a U.L. Listed oor protector, or the site fabricated hearth
protector described below.
(Thermal Conductivity) “k” = BTU in./hr. ft
2
F (based
on 1" thickness)
To substitute alternate insulation material, you need
to know the “k” factor for that material. To calculate
the required thickness for the alternate material use the
following formula:
“k” of Alternate material
x .50 = Thickness of alternate-
.45 material (inches)
EXAMPLE: The “k” value of brick = 5
5 x .50 = 5.5 inches of brick is
.45 required to meet the
requirement.
FIGURE 5C
The oor must be non-combustible or otherwise
adequately protected from radiant heat given off by
the unit and from sparks and falling embers. A layer
of thin brick or ceramic tile over a combustible oor
is not sufcient.
In US installations, it is necessary to install a oor
protector of 1" (k value = .45) thick metal clad millboard
or equivalent at least 16" in front and 8" to both sides of
the loading door. See Figures 5A & 5C.
In Canada, similar floor protection must be
provided 18" in front and 8" from the sides and rear of
the stove. See Figures 5B & 5C.
