Framing Details
Plan your installation carefully. If possible, position the
stove so that the flue outlet is between joists or rafters.
Drop a plumb line to the center of the flue outlet, and mark
this center point on the ceiling. Lay out and frame in all
openings, ensuring the specified 2-inch clearance to
combustibles is maintained. Refer to Table 1 for framing
dimensions, and mark the appropriate cutting lines around
the center point. All openings should be square (all four
sides), plumb, and in perfect alignment with each other
(Figure 2).
For sloping roofs, ensure that the framing dimension is
measured in the horizontal plane (Figure 3).
