Do not connect the heater to any air distribution duct or system.
In Canada: The Canadian Standards Association has established different guidelines. Figure
11 shows one method, in which all combustible material in the wall is cut away to provide the
"
required 18
(450 mm) clearance for the connector. The resulting space must remain empty.
A flush mounted sheet metal cover may be used on one side only. If covers must be used on
both sides, each cover must be mounted on non-combustible spacers at least 1
of the wall. Your Lexington Forge dealer or your local building inspector can provide details of
other approved methods of passing a chimney connector through a combustible wall. In Canada,
this type of installation must conform to CAN/CSA-B365. Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burning
Appliances and Equipment.
NOTE: Do not vent your stove into a factory-built (zero-clearance) fireplace. These appliances
and their chimneys are specifically designed as a unit for use as fireplaces. It may void the listing
or be hazardous to adapt them for any other use.

FLOOR PROTECTOR

An appliance mounted on a concrete floor does not require floor protection.
Carpeting and any other combustible material shall not cover the floor protector.
If a combustible surface is applied to the concrete floor, a clearance must be maintained
equivalent to the area reserved for the floor protector. See Figure 4.
Installation on a Combustible Floor
If the appliance is to be installed on a combustible floor or a combustible floor covering, it must be
installed on a non-combustible floor protector. The pad must be installed beneath the appliance
