BRIARWOOD II FREE STANDING STOVE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE  

Note:  This is a generic installation procedure.  Always follow your chimney manufacturers 
installation instructions accurately.  Make sure that all local codes are met and have your 
installation inspected prior to stove operation.

 

 

For Mobile Home Installation, refer to the mobile home sections before proceeding.  

 

AFTER YOU READ AND FULLY UNDERSTAND THE MATERIAL IN THIS MANUAL, YOU ARE 
READY TO PROCEED WITH THE INSTALLATION OF YOUR STOVE.  
SAFETY NOTICE: IF THIS HEATER IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, A HOUSE FIRE MAY 
RESULT. FOR YOUR SAFETY, FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS. CONTACT 
LOCAL BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATION 
REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA.  

 

1.  Select the exact place where you want to permanently install your stove. Set the unit in place. Check for 

clearances from combustible walls and materials for your particular model. (Refer to Location and Clearances 
page 12 ). Plan ahead so any combustibles, such as furniture and drapes, will have the required clearances from 
your stove. Before cutting through walls and ceilings check to be sure there are no ducts, conduit, electrical wires, 
or vital structural support beams and rafters in the way of your stovepipe and chimney.  

2.  If a hole is to be cut through the ceiling use a plumb bob to ensure exact positioning. Align the plumb bob with the 

exact center of the flue on your stove.  

3.  If you are installing a new chimney, follow the manufacturer's installation instructions very carefully. Be sure to 

comply with all safety recommendations. Use only insulated pipe and components with approved shields to pass 
through combustible walls and ceilings.  

4.  Make a mark on the floor around each corner of the heater. Move the stove and install the floor protector. Be sure 

to extend the stove board beyond the stove as outlined on page 12 (Location and Clearances). 

5.  Place stove on properly sized floor protection in exact location and install chimney connector.  
6.  After properly installing chimney connector, run the stovepipe from the connector to the flue on the stove. Use 

three sheets metal screws evenly spaced around the pipe on each joint, including the flue collar. Seal joints with 
stove cement.  

7.  Make certain proper minimum distances have been maintained between combustible surfaces of both the stove 

and stovepipe.
