Stove Installation
Floor Protection Requirements
•
Stove must be placed on the Travis Industries legs or pedestal.
•
Floor protection must extend to the sides, rear, and front of the stove (see "Clearances" below for
minimum floor protection).
NOTE: When installed with reduced-clearance connector, the clearance to the backwall may be less
than the floor protection requirement. In this case the floor protection must extend to the wall.
•
Floor protection must be a minimum 8mm (3/8") thick fibre-cement sheet with a thermal conductivity
of 0.25W/degree K (or equivalent).
Stove Placement Requirements
Clearances may be reduced by methods specified in NFPA 211, listed wall shields, pipe shields, or
other means approved by local building or fire officials.
•
Stove must be placed so that no combustibles are within, or can swing within (e.g., drapes, doors),
36" (914mm) of the front of the stove.
•
If the stove is placed in a location where the ceiling height is less than 7' (2134mm), additional
requirements may apply (contact your local building official).
•
Must maintain the clearances to combustibles listed below (drywall, furniture, etc.):
