SAFETY STANDARDS AND BUILDING CODES
This appliance has been safety tested in accordance with UL safety standard 1482 by Warnock Hersey, a company in the
Quality Systems Division of Intertek Testing Services which is an international conformity assessment organization with
North American headquarters and offices worldwide. The Warnock Hersey listing mark on this appliance signifies that the
design and manufacturing of this appliance comply with Intertek Testing Services' comprehensive safety assessment
standards for solid fuel type room heaters. (There may be additional requirements to be met in order to comply with local
building codes or regulations. Before installing this appliance, check with building or fire officials to assure compliance with

MATERIALS NEEDED FOR PROPER INSTALLATION
THE FOLLOWING MATERIALS ARE NEEDED TO PROPERLY INSTALL THIS HEATER IN A RESIDENTIAL TYPE HOME.
THE CHIMNEY USED MUST BE CAPABLE OF PROVIDING A MINIMUM OF .06 INCHES WATER COLUMN DRAFT.
1. Chimney Connector (also known as stove pipe): The chimney connector joins the heater to the chimney. The chimney
connector pipes should be 6-inches in diameter 24-gauge minimum black steel. (Note: The number of 90 degree bends in
the chimney connector installation for appliances, such as this heater, which have a top exit flue collar should be restricted
to one. More than one 90 degree bend in the chimney connector could negatively affect chimney draft.)
2. Chimney: A code-approved masonry chimney. See the "MASONRY CHIMNEY REQUIREMENTS" portion of this
manual for details.
OR
A chimney complying with the requirements for Type 103-HT chimneys in the Standard for Chimneys, Factory Built,
Residential Type and Building Appliance, UL 103. See the "METAL PREFABRICATED CHIMNEY REQUIREMENTS"
portion of this manual for details.
3. Wall Thimble: A manufactured or site constructed device installed in combustible walls through which the chimney
connector passes to connect to a masonry chimney. The wall thimble is intended to keep walls from igniting. A wall
thimble is needed only if the chimney connector must pass through a combustible wall between the heater and the masonry
chimney. See Figure 5 for wall thimble options.
4. Floor Protector: If the floor on which the heater is to be installed is wood or any other combustible material , the heater
must be placed on a floor protector. The floor protector is to prevent the floor from catching fire from sparks or embers that
might escape the heater or drop from the joints of the chimney connector pipe. The floor protector must protect the floor
beneath and around the heater and chimney connector pipe as shown in Figure 9. The floor protector for this heater may be
larger than the floor protector shown in Figure 9 but it must not be smaller than the floor protector shown in Figure 9. The
floor protector must be a listed floor protector or a floor protector made of noncombustible inorganic material equal to or
better than 3/4-inch thick material having a thermal conductivity R value of 1.5.
5. Chimney Shield: See step 11 of the "TO INSTALL THE HEATER" portion of this manual for details.
THIS HEATER IS NOT APPROVED FOR MOBIL HOME INSTALLATION.
