Classic With Blower Installation and Operation Manual

7.4 Reducing Wall and Ceiling Clearances Safely

It is often desirable to reduce

the minimum installation

clearances by placing the stove

closer to walls so the installation

takes up less floor space. You

can safely reduce the minimum

clearances by permanently

installing a shield between the

stove and combustible material.

The rules for safe shields can be

complicated, so read them

carefully and follow them

exactly. Note that there may be

minor regional differences in

clearance reduction rules so be

sure to check with your building

or fire inspector before

proceeding.

7.4.1 Shield Construction Rules

See figure Clearances for shield construction to match each letter to a clearance.

Adhesives used in shield construction must not ignite or lose adhesive qualities at

temperatures likely to be encountered.

Mounting hardware which extends from the shield surface into combustibles may be

used only at the edges of the shield.

Mounting hardware must allow full vertical ventilation.

Minimum clearance between the appliance top and an unshielded combustible ceiling:

1410 mm (55 1/2 in.).

Shield extension above appliance: 500 mm (20 in.).

Minimum space behind shield: 25 mm (1 in.). In Canada 21 mm (7/8 in).

Clearance along the bottom of shield: minimum: 25 mm (1 in.) and maximum: 75 mm (3

in.).

Minimum clearance along the top of shield at ceiling: 75 mm (3 in.).

Mounting hardware must not be located closer than 200 mm (8 in.) from the vertical

centre line of the appliance.

Edge clearance for ceiling shields to side and back walls: 75 mm (3 in.).

Shield extension beyond each side of appliance: 450 mm (18 in.).
