NPACKING
Hearthstone Stoves packages your Heritage stove
with the greatest care, so that it ships safely. Under
certain circumstances, however, damage can occur
during transit and handling. When you receive your
stove, unpack it carefully, inspecting your stove and
all parts for damage. Also, make sure that all parts
are included. If any parts are damaged or missing,
please contact your dealer immediately.
Read this chapter to obtain a sound understanding
of how to properly install your stove.

S
TOVE
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, also
decide the kind of floor the stove will rest on. The
Heritage 8021 must be installed on a non-
combustible
surface,
use
floor
protection
if
necessary.
Use this chapter to plan how to install your stove in
your particular location. Consider both the
clearances of the stovepipe and the stove itself to
the surrounding combustibles. Also consider access
to the side door.
If you use a close clearance connector pipe, it must
be tested to UL standards and listed. Check the
listing of your pipe for actual clearances. The
diagrams
in
this
manual
represent
typical
installations, but are specific to the Simpson Dura-
Vent DVL brand. Clearances cannot be reduced
without the use of close clearance connector pipe
and/or by protecting the surfaces per NFPA 211
standards.
Locate the stove centrally in your living area to allow
the heat to travel naturally to distant rooms. It is not
recommended that you locate your stove in an un-
insulated basement. The amount of radiant energy
required to heat concrete basement walls is so great
that most of the usable heat is absorbed by them
and lost.
Clearances to NFPA 211 Protected
Surfaces
You can reduce the clearances to combustible
surfaces by using any National Fire Protection
Agency (NFPA) approved wall protection system.
Please refer to NFPA 211 for specifications and
complete details. You can obtain this information
directly from NFPA.

ROTECTION
Combustible flooring must be protected with a
covering of noncombustible material (slate, marble
tiles, or other noncombustible material can be used
for this purpose). The floor protection must extend
beyond
the body
of the stove at the minimum as
follows:
LEFT SIDE 16” (41 cm)*
RIGHT SIDE 5” (13 cm)
REAR 2” (5 cm)**
FRONT 16” (41 cm)*
* Installations in Canada require 18” (46 cm) of floor protection
on the left side and front.
** Rear clearance required only if stovepipe runs horizontally back
from the top or rear of the stove.
