1. CLEARANCES FOR FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
To ensure a safe installation, the following minimum
clearances must be met:
(A) Chimney clearance: 6” or 8” insulated class A pipe (low
heat residential type all-fuel) must be used. Follow the pipe
manufacturer’s recommendations.
(B) A minimum of 12” must be maintained from the front
edge of the unit to any wall.
(C) A minimum of 12” must be maintained from the top of
the unit to any combustible overhanging mantel.
(D) A minimum of 16” floor protection in front of the
stove of 3/4” fireproof millboard, or the equivalent, must
be used.
(E) Clearances are affected by the composition of the wall
structure (combustible or non-combustible materials). Use
of non-combustible materials will reduce the clearance
needed.
NOTE: Walls of wood frame construction covered with a
non-combustible veneer, such as brick, are considered
combustible walls.
NOTE: For details on chimney installation, see “Chimney
Installation,” Section IV, No. 5.
2. CLEARANCES FOR FREESTANDING INSTALLATION
The Gemini XLB is specially designed for zero clearance to
combustibles as a freestanding unit (FIGURE 2). Rear and
side-wall clearances depend on two factors:
(A) Composition of the wall structure (combustible or non-
combustible materials). Use of non-combustible materials
will reduce the clearance needed.
(B) Chimney Clearance: 6” or 8” insulated class A pipe
(low residential heat type all-fuel) must be used. Follow
pipe manufacturer’s recommendations.
NOTE: Walls of wood frame construction covered with a
non-combustible veneer, such as brick, are considered
combustible walls.
If the stove is installed on a combustible floor, a protective
pad of 3/4” fireproof millboard, or equivalent, must extend
16” in front of the stove unit only.
