The charts and sample installations that follow list the
clearances required for the various installation configurations
of the Intrepid II.
Alcove Installations:
Because of their restricted air flow and heat retention
characteristics, specific construction requirements and
special clearances apply to installations into alcoves. No
stove or chimney connector heat shields are used in alcove
installations.
ALCOVE INSTALLATION OF THE INTREPID II IS NOT
PERMITTED IN CANADA.
Construction Requirements:
The following illustrations show noncombustible ceiling
framing and maximum and minimum permitted dimensions
for alcove construction.
