Notice
Accessories for woodstoves for clearance reduction have
been developed by many manufacturers. If not following
the methods of the installation codes, be sure that any
accessory you choose has been tested by an independent
laboratory and carries the laboratory’s testing mark.
Make sure to follow all of the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Always contact your local building inspector or fire
officials about restriction and requirements in your area.
Reminder, it is the local officials who have final authority
in the installations approval.
