stove’s flue collar has an inside diameter of 6”. This means the stove’s flue area is approximately 28 square inches, which
means the chimney’s cross sectional flue area cannot exceed 84 square inches. Thus, if the clay tile inside the chimney has
a dimension larger than 8” (200mm) by 8” (200mm) a full liner would need to be installed in the chimney flue to ensure
proper stove draft. The installer should ensure that the proper size chimney tile is installed over the full length of the
chimney. If not, install a properly sized liner to ensure optimal performance.
DRAFT
A good draft is necessary for the proper operation of any stove. Draft is the force created as warm flue gases move up the
chimney and pull fresh air into the stove. Any restriction either at the exhaust or intake ends of the chimney will affect
draft. The amount of draft in the chimney system depends on the length of the chimney, the local geography, nearby
obstructions, prevailing winds, etc. A draft gauge should measure somewhere between 0.05 to 0.07 inches of water
column (W.C.) for the stove to operate efficiently.
MINIMUM CLEARANCES
When installing a catalytic stove into an existing fireplace, ensure that all minimum clearances shown in FIGURE 7 and
defined in TABLE 6 are maintained during installation. Failure to maintain these minimum clearances can create
overheating of the fireplace, the stove, or surrounding combustible materials. Do not seal over the face of any chimney or
air-cooling system of the existing fireplace system. Failure to maintain the proper clearances during installation voids the
Country Flame warranty. Always refer to the Safety Label on the
rear of the specific Country Flame stove being
installed for the latest clearance and installation instructions.

FLOOR PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS
1. All Country Flame freestanding catalytic wood stoves require a listed floor protector that is noncombustible.
Country Flame catalytic stoves were tested with a listed floor protection that had a thermal conductivity of K =
0.85 BTU-inch per hour per square foot per degree Fahrenheit and that was 3/8” thick (9.5mm) non-asbestos
millboard. Refer to FIGURE 8 and TABLE 7 for floor protector information.
