Choose a place to install your Hipster 14 woodstove.
Consider the location of your stove for optimum
heating efficiency. In general, it is better to place your
stove in a main living area, rather than in a basement
or other confined space.
Inspect this location to make sure that the stove and
stovepipes will have the required clearance from
combustible materials that are near the stove.
Combustibles include walls, floor, ceiling, and
chimney chase. You must carefully consider the
clearances to all of these combustibles before
actually connecting your stove.
If the floor is made of combustible material, then a
non-combustible floor protector is required between
the floor and the stove. An example of a non-
combustible floor protector is a hearth constructed
with a continuous layer of tile, brick, slate, glass or
another non-combustible facing. There is no R-value
requirement.
If you use a rear connector pipe, ensure it is listed with
Underwriter's Laboratories. Check the listing of your
pipe with UL for the correct clearances.
The diagrams in this manual represent typical
installations, but are specific to the Simpson Dura-
Vent DVL brand.
The Hipster 14 is to be installed as a freestanding
room heater with the clearances in the included
installation instructions. The Stove is not to be
installed in any factory-built fireplace.
Clearances to NFPA Code 211 Protected Surfaces
You can reduce the clearances to combustible
surfaces by using any National Fire Protection
Agency (NFPA) approved wall protection system with
additional approval of the regulatory authority having
jurisdiction in your area. Please refer to NFPA Code
211 for specifications and complete details. You can
obtain this information directly from the NFPA.
