Hearth Requirements; Clearances To Combustibles - Vermont Castings Intrepid INDVRBDSB Installation & Operating Manual

D. Hearth Requirements

Hearth and Home Technologies does not recommend adhesive
based vinyl flooring due to thermal expansion. Floating-style
flooring (LVP - luxury vinyl plank or LVT – luxury vinyl tile) can be
used, but it will reach temperatures up to 110 °F in a room with
ambient temperature of 70 °F. Consult flooring specifications to
ensure compatibility.
When using LVP/LVT flooring, gas stoves require 6 inches of
alternative flooring in front of the stove before using LVP/LVT.
Whether the stove sits flush on the floor or is elevated on a
raised hearth, 6 inches of alternative flooring is required in front
of the stove or insert.
For all other flooring, continue to follow clearance to combustible
requirements in the installation manual.
NOTICE: Clearances that do not meet the minimum guidelines
could result in damage or buckling to the vinyl flooring and is
done at the installer's risk.
The Intrepid DV Heater can be installed on any type of rigid
flooring (e.g. hardwood, ceramic tile, brick, etc). When the
heater is installed on a carpeted surface, a metal or wooden
panel extending the full width and depth of the unit must be
used as the hearth. The purpose of the hearth is to prevent
the unit from sinking into the carpet surface and reducing the
required clearance to the underside of the unit. There are no
other hearth requirements.
