FLOOR PROTECTOR
The stove must be placed on a floor protector if the floor is wood or other combustible flooring. Any non-
combustible material or a listed floor protector is acceptable.
To provide the proper clearances, the floor protector must be at least
18" in front of the stove base,
8" from each side of the stove,
The floor protector must extend to the wall under a wall exit installation and must extend 6" beyond each side
of the horizontal section of chimney connector.
CHIMNEY CONNECTOR
Single wall chimney connector must be minimum 26 MSG steel. Do not use aluminum or galvanized steel. Do
not use chimney connector pipe as a chimney. Chimney connector sections must be attached to the stove and
to each other with the crimped end toward the stove (FIGURE-2). This allows moisture to run into the stove
and not onto the outside of the pipe. All joints should be secured with three metal screws.
FIGURE 2
For proper operation the chimney connector should be as short as possible. Horizontal lengths of
chimney connector should have an upward slope from the stove of 1/4 inch per foot.
Maintain 18 inches clearance between horizontal chimney connector and the ceiling unless a ceiling
protection system is installed.
CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
If closer clearances are required a listed wall or pipe shield may be used to reduce the clearances
shown in the following chart.
