8. Clearances to Combustible Material
The clearances shown in this section have been determined by tests according to procedures
set out in safety standards ULC S627 (Canada), UL 1482 (U.S.A.) and UL 737 (U.S.A.). When
the stove is installed so that its surfaces are at or beyond the minimum clearances specified,
combustible surfaces will not overheat under normal and even abnormal operating conditions.
No part of the stove or flue pipe may be located closer to the combustible than the
minimum clearance figures given.
The clearances to combustible walls may be slightly different in Canada and the U.S.A. and may
also differ depending on whether single or double wall flue pipe is used. The proper clearances
should be used depending on the stove location and the type of flue pipe used.
The clearances of the appliance and the flue pipes must be met individually, meaning the
appliance cannot be installed closer to the combustible materials than the single or double wall
pipe allows. For a safe way to reduce clearances refer to section
