SECTION 1.0 - INSTALLATION
When installed and operated as described in these instructions, the E.P.A Rocket wood
stove is suitable for use as a freestanding wood stove in residential installations. The
E.P.A Rocket wood stove is not intended for installation in a bedroom or a mobile home.
In Canada, the CSA B365 Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burning Appliances and
Equipment and the CSA C22.1 Canadian National Electrical Code are to be followed in
the absence of local code requirements. In the USA, the ANSI NFPA 70 National
Electrical Code and NFPA 211 Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid
Fuel-Burning Appliances are to be followed in the absence of local code requirements.
In addition to the national installation and/or local building codes, fire officials (or other
authorities having jurisdiction) should be contacted to determine what restrictions and
installation requirements might apply locally.
We recommend that our woodburning hearth products be installed and serviced by
professionals who are certified in the United States by NFI (National Fireplace Institute®)
or in Canada by WETT (Wood Energy Technical Training) or in Quebec by APC
(Association des Professionnels du Chauffage).
