C. Clearance Requirements
Minimum Clearances to Combustible Materials
Measure side clearances as shown in Figures 2.3 thru 2.6
from the outer edge of the cast iron stove top. Measure rear
clearances from the outermost surface of the steel rear skirt.
The Intrepid DV heater is approved for installation into
an alcove constructed of combustible materials to the
dimensions and clearances shown on the next page.
The same clearances apply in a standard parallel installation.
!
Always maintain minimum clearances around vent
systems. Rear/Top Vent Vertical Side wall: Horizontal
sections of this vent system require a minimum of 3" (76
mm) clearances to combustibles at the top of the flue and
1" (25 mm) clearance at the sides and bottom until the flue
penetrates the outside wall. A minimum 1" clearance all
around the flue is acceptable at this point of penetration.
If vertical rise is 7-1/2 feet (2.3 m) or higher when top
venting, the clearance to combustibles is 1" on all sides of
the horizontal run. FOR VERTICAL RUNS ONLY, maintain
a 1" (25 mm) minimum clearance to all sides. Do not pack
the open air spaces around the stove or flue with insulation
or other materials. Any horizontal run must have a 1/4" rise
for every one (1) foot of run towards the vent termination.
Never run the vent level or down.
