Installing Your Stove
First you must decide where your stove will reside.
After choosing an appropriate spot, inspect this
location to make sure that the stove will have
enough clearance to combustible materials that
would surround the stove. These combustibles can
include walls, floor, ceiling, fireplace, and chimney.
You must carefully consider the clearances to all of
these combustibles before actually connecting your
stove.
When considering these clearances, consider:
If you are installing your stove in a fireplace or in
a freestanding location.
The kind of floor the stove will rest on.
Depending on your floor, you can install your
stove as a Hearth Mount stove with 4” legs or as
a Freestanding stove with 6” legs, a bottom heat
shield, and a freestanding oval-to-round adapter.
The optional Surround Set, which reduces the
clearances to the fireplace’s mantle and side
trim.
Please use this section to plan how to locate your
stove in your particular location. Consider both the
clearances of the stovepipe and the stove itself to
the surrounding combustibles.
Read this chapter to obtain a sound understanding
of how to properly install your stove. Depending on
your installation, however, you only need read one
of the following three sections:
Read “Fireplace Install For Hearth Mount Stove
(#8570H) with 4-inch Legs” (page 11) only if you
are installing a Hearth Mount stove with 4” legs
into a fireplace, with or without a surround.
Read “Fireplace Install for Freestanding stove
(model #8570F) with 6-Inch Legs” (page 16)
only if you are installing a Freestanding stove
with 6” legs into a fireplace, with or without a
surround.
Read “Freestanding Install” (page 21) only if you
are installing either a Hearth Mount or a
Freestanding stove in a freestanding location.
You can reduce some clearances by adding the
optional Rear Heat Shield Kit manufactured by
Hearthstone and available through your local dealer.
(See page 45 for a description; a companion Blower
Fan Kit is also available for freestanding
installations.)
Close clearance connector stovepipes must be
tested to UL standards and listed. Check the listing
for your pipe for actual clearances. The diagrams in
this manual represent typical installations, but are
specific to the Simpson Dura-Vent DVL brand.
Do not reduce clearances described in this chapter
without using heat shields and/or close-clearance
connector stovepipes. In addition, do not reduce
clearances unless you protect surfaces per NFPA
211standards.
Clearances to NFPA 211 Protected Surfaces
You can reduce the clearances to combustible
surfaces by using any National Fire Protection
