Floor Protector
Installation on a Concrete Floor
Installation on a Combustible Floor
If the appliance is to be installed on a combustible floor or a combustible floor
covering, it must be installed on a 3/8”(10mm) thick non-combustible millboard floor
protector or durable equivalent. The pad must be installed beneath the appliance
extending 18”(457mm)in Canada, 16”(406mm) in the U.S. on any side equipped with
a door, and 8”(203mm) on all other sides. In the U.S. the pad must cover any
horizontal chimney connector runs and extend 2”(51mm) beyond each side.
A grouted ceramic floor-tile surface installed per local building code is considered a
durable equivalent.
An appliance mounted on a concrete floor does not require floor protection.
Carpeting and any other combustible material shall not cover the Floor Protector.
If a combustible surface is applied to the concrete floor, a clearance must be
maintained equivalent to the area reserved for the floor protector. See diagram below.
