The information on this page is helpful in planning stove placement, particularly in those installations with
chimneys that pass through the ceiling. However, this is not a clearance chart. Final stove clearances must
adhere to the guidelines in the clearance chart on page 12.
Note that rear dimensions differ for installations with 6" or 8" chimney connectors.
