DO I NEED A FLOOR PROTECTION?
You do not need a floor protection if your stove already sits on a non-combustible surface. Furthermore, it is not
necessary to install a floor protection if your stove sits on a wood floor. However, any floor that is made of
combustible synthetic material (ex: carpet) needs to be covered with a floor protection. In all cases, your best
bet is prudence. Everywhere there is fire, there is a risk.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO REDUCE THE MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS?
Before you read this section, please take note that the information supplied in the table below is based on
Canadian standards and may not apply to other countries.
The minimum clearances can be reduced by installing a protective shield. The shield can be made of various non-
combustible materials, such as ceramic, brick or metal. After installing a heat shield, the minimum clearances
indicated on the stove's certification plate can be reduced as summarized in the table below:
TYPE OF PROTECTION
Sheet metal, with minimum thickness of 0,013" (0,33mm),
spaced out at least 1" (25.4mm) by non-combustible spacers.
Ceramic tiles, or an equivalent non-combustible material installed
on a non-combustible support, spaced out at least 1" (25.4mm)
by non-combustible spacers.
Ceramic tiles, or an equivalent non-combustible material installed
on non-combustible supports with a minimum of 0,013" (0,33mm)
sheet metal backing spaced out at least 1" (25.4mm) by non-
combustible spacers.
Brick, spaced out at least 1" (25.4mm) by non-combustible
spacers.
Brick, with a minimum of 0,013" (0,33 mm) sheet metal backing
spaced out at least 1" (25.4mm) by non-combustible spacers.

WHAT TYPE OF EXHAUST SYSTEM DO I NEED?
Your exhaust system should be comprised of two main elements: a chimney and a connector (commonly called
stove pipe). There exists two types of chimneys for oil stoves: type A and type L chimneys. The chimney is hooked
up to the stove using the connector, which is made of steel with a minimum thickness of 24 ga. The connector
cannot go through ceilings, closets, floors, or any other combustible material. Only type A insulated chimney can
go through combustible material and out to the exterior of the house, as per the manufacturer's specifications.
