Floor Protection
In all installations, the area under and around the
insert must be protected from falling ash and live coals.
This protector must be of noncombustible material, and
positioned as shown in the accompanying illustration.
The guidelines for the floor protection are in both
USA and CANADA: 8"(200mm) to each side of the door
opening, and:
In USA:
16" of non-combustible material in front
of the door opening.
In CANADA:
(1)
If the floor surface is 0" - 4 1/2" (114mm)
below the insert base, 18"(450mm) of
1/2"(12.7mm) thick, k=.84 thermal
protection is required in front of the door
opening.
(2)
If the floor surface is greater than 4-
1/2"(114mm) below the base of the insert,
18"(450mm) of non-combustible
material in front of the door is required.
See appendix A.
Clearances
Clearance is the empty space required between the
insert and the nearest combustible surface or object, such
as walls, ceilings, floors, or furniture. Clearance distances
may only be reduced by using methods approved by either
the CAN/CSA B365 standard (Canada) or NFPA 211 (U.S.)
Contact your building authority for information if you are
interested in reducing clearance distances other than those
presented here.
From the front of the insert, the clearance to
combustible materials such as furniture, curtains,
fuel, etc., is: 48"(1215 mm) in the
U.S
. and 60"
(1525 mm) in
Canada.
The clearance to combustibles from the top of the unit
to the mantel must be 24" (610 mm), if using the optional
hood, and at least 36" (900 mm) if the hood is not used.
