A flat combustible (burnable) surface.
•
A raised wooden platform.
•
A concrete block or other solid object placed be-

Insulating for Cold Climates

When an appliance is installed in a chase or an outside
wall, the enclosure should be insulated like any other
wall of the home. Insulation should be installed under
the appliance and on the inside of the exterior walls.
In a chase, it is a good idea to install a firestop at the
first ceiling level above the appliance. Also, install insu-
lation on the side walls. Insulation may then be placed
above the ceiling to assure the space around the appli-
ance is protected. (Fig. 2)
Be sure to always maintain the proper one (1) inch
distance to combustibles around the B-vent pipe
sections.
NOTE: Insulating for cold climates is strictly a recom-
mendation, not a requirement.
