2.5 alcove installation
Your appliance may be installed using a listed
double wall connector (such as Security DL6 in
Canada, the Simpson Duravent Plus DVL in the
USA, or an equivalent double wall connector) into
an alcove having a depth of no more than 4 feet
(1.2m) and a height of at least 6'3" (1.8m x 76mm).
The minimum clearances are as shown.

* The top heat shield (T.H.S) may be removed if desired (Fig. 2-3, previous page); however, this will increase
clearances to combustibles. Please read the above table carefully.

floor protection

If the appliance is to be installed on top of a combustible floor, it must be placed on an approved non-combustible
D C
hearth pad, that extends 8" (203mm) beyond the appliance sides and back, and 18" (45.7cm) in Canada / 16"
(40.6cm) in the USA to the front. The reduced clearance from the back of the appliance may result in the appliance
pad terminating shorter than 8" (203mm) beyond the appliance.
note:
Floor protection is required for spark and ash shielding, but not for limiting floor temperatures from the radiant
heat of the appliance. The appliance was designed and safety-tested so that without any protection, the floor
would not overheat.
Refer to local building codes for suitable floor protection materials.

outside air

The following are signs that fresh air may be required for the appliance to better function:
• When there is combustion present, wood burns poorly, smoke spills, back-draft takes place, and your
chimney does not draw steadily.
• In the winter, there is too much condensation on the windows.
• Opening a window seems to alleviate the above symptoms.
• A ventilation system is installed in the house.
• Other devices are present that exhaust house air.
• The house has tight fitting windows and/or is equipped with a well-sealed vapour barrier.
Systems such as HRV's are designed to bring fresh air into your home and will resolve these related performance
issues with your appliance. If outside air is brought directly to the appliance, a damper allowing 100% closure shall
be used (not supplied). The air inlet must prevent material from dropping into the inlet and also prevent rodents
from entering from the outside (a wire mesh having openings not larger than 1/4" by 1/4" [6.4mm by 6.4mm] is
sufficient).
