The 25-EPI requires a non-combustible hearth if the current hearth of the
fireplace does not extend the required distance from the front of stove. Follow
the diagram below to determine if the current fireplace hearth is sufficient.
If the current fireplace hearth is not large enough to accommodate this insert, a
hearth extension pad (which is designed and sold specifically for this purpose)
can be used. A hearth extension pad should be U.L. listed, or equivalent, and
must only be noncombustible. Since the majority of the radiant heat from this
unit is projected forward, the hearth extension pad only serves to keep ashes
and sparks from landing on combustible flooring near the unit. A hearth rug is
NOT an approved substitute for a proper hearth extension pad.
