Specifications herein are primarily related to common
timberframe construction. Both a stove and its chimney
connector radiate heat in all directions when operat-
ing, and dangerous overheating of nearby combustible
materials can occur if they are too close to the heat. A
safe installation requires that adequate clearance be
maintained between the hot stove and its connector
and nearby combustibles.
Clearance is the distance between either your stove
(measured from the back edge of the stove’s top plate)
or chimney connector, and nearby walls, floors, the
ceiling, and any other fixed combustible surface. Your
stove has special clearance requirements that have
been established after careful research and testing.
These clearance requirements must be strictly ob-
served.
In addition, furnishings and other combustible materials
must be kept away from the stove as well. In general, a
distance of 10 mm (48”) must be maintained between
the stove and moveable combustible items such as dry-
ing clothes, furniture, newspapers, firewood, etc. Keep-
ing those clearance areas empty assures that nearby
surfaces and objects will not overheat.

Clearances to timber framed (studded) walls are includ-
ed below. There are no specific minimum clearances
to solid  surfaces (e.g. the sides and
rear of Inglenook fire openings constructed from solid
masonry) other than to allow safe access to the controls
of the stove. For this reason minimum side clearances
of 15 mm, and a minimum rear clearance of 50 mm
are recommended.

 The minimum thickness of solid noncombustible
materials is specified in section  of Document ‘J’, in
relation to the clearance of the appliance from the sur-
face. As a general rule, the thickness of solid noncom-
bustible material forming the recess of a fireplace is a
minimum of 00 mm.
