8.8 Shelf Installation
A
non-combustible
shelf with a depth of 6" (152 mm) to 12" (305 mm) can be installed at least
48" (1219 mm)
from the base of the fireplace.
In order to install a
combustible
shelf, a metal
heat shield
must be installed 5" below the
combustible shelf
(C)
. The depth
(D)
of the heat
shield is equal to the depth of the combustible
shelf minus one inch. A combustible shelf with
a depth of 6" (152 mm)
(A)
must be installed
at least 48" (1219 mm) from the base of the
fireplace
(B)
. Different shelf sizes are listed in
the following table.

shelf to find the safe position of the shelf. The
height

should always be 80" (2.03 m) from

9. The Venting System
The venting system, acts as the engine that drives the wood-heating system. Even the best
fireplace will not function safely and efficiently as intended if it is not connected to a suitable
chimney. The heat in the flue gases that pass from the fireplace into the chimney is not waste
heat. This heat is what the chimney uses to make the draft that draws in combustion air, keeps
smoke inside the fireplace and safely vents exhaust to outside. Heat in the flue gas can be seen
as the fuel the chimney uses to make draft.
9.1 Location
The location of the chimney is crucial for the proper functioning of the appliance. The chimney should
be installed within the house rather than up an outside wall and should rise straight up through
the tallest part of the house. This installation benefits from being enclosed within the warm
house environment, produce stronger draft, accumulate fewer creosote deposits and will be
unaffected by cold temperatures or harsh winds.
Outside chimneys will lead to cold back drafting when there is no fire in the fireplace, slow
kindling of new fires, and smoke roll-out when the door is open for loading.
