Alcove Installation Requirements

Whenever the stove is placed in a location where the ceiling height is less than 7' (2134mm) tall, it is

considered an alcove installation. Because of the reduced height, the special installation requirements

listed below must be met.

 Chimney connector and chimney must be one of the following types:

AMERI-TEC model DCC with model HS chimney

DURAVENT model DVL with DURATEC or DURA-PLUS chimney

GSW Super Chimney Twenty-One connected directly to appliance

I.C.C. Excel (2100-2 Can.) (103-HT USA) chimney with HP connector

METALFAB model DW connector with TG chimney

OLIVER MACLEOD PROVENT model PV connector with model 3103 chimney

SECURITY model DP connector with SECURITY model ASHT or S2100 chimney

SELKIRK METALBESTOS model DS connector with model SSII chimney

Standard Masonry Chimney with any one of the above listed connectors

NOTE: Reduced clearance connectors may not connect to the flue collar – an appliance adapter may be required.

 Alcoves are classified as combustible or non-combustible. Non-combustible alcoves must have walls

and a ceiling that are 3 1/2" (89mm) thick of a non-combustible material (brick, stone, or concrete -

see Figure 8). This non-combustible material must be spaced and ventilated at least 1" (25mm) off of

all combustible materials (walls, ceiling, etc.) to allow air to move around the non-combustible walls

and ceiling. All other alcoves are considered combustible. The clearances below must be met:
