OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATION
INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA.
Beforeyoubeginaninstallation,besurethat:
• Your stove and chimney connector will be far enough from
combustible material to meet all clearance requirements.
• The oor protector is large enough and is constructed
properly to meet all requirements.
• You have all necessary permits from local authorities.
Yourlocalbuildingocialisthenalauthorityforapproving
your installation as safe and determining that it meets local
and state codes.
The metal label permanently attached to the back of every
VermontCastings’stoveindicatesthatthestovehasbeen
tested to current UL and ULC standards, and gives the
name of the testing laboratory. Clearance and installation
information also is printed on the label. When the stove is
installed according to the information both on the label and
inthismanual,localauthoritiesusuallywillacceptthelabel
as evidence that the installation meets codes and can be
approved.
However,codesvaryindierentareas.Beforestartingthe
installation,reviewyourplanswiththelocalbuildingauthority.
Your local dealer can provide any additional information
needed.
Foranyunresolvedinstallationissues,refertotheNational
Fire ProtectionAssociation’s publicationANSI/NFPA 211
Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel
BurningAppliances.ForCanada,theequivalentpublication
isCSACAN-B365InstallationCodeforSolidFuelBurning
Appliances and Equipment. These standards are the basis for
many national codes. They are nationally recognized and are
accepted by most local authorities. Your local dealer or your
localbuildingocialmayhaveacopyoftheseregulations.
IMPORTANT: Failure to follow these installation
instructions may result in a dangerous situation, including
a chimney or house re. Follow all instructions exactly,
and do not allow makeshift compromises to endanger
property and personal safety.
Outside Air

Whenpoordraftiscausedbyalowinltrationrate,openinga

A better solution is to install a permanent outside air supply
tothestoveand/orroom.Infact,bringingairforcombustion
from outside the home directly to the air inlet of the stove is
required for new construction in some areas.

Chimney Connector Guidelines
Achimneyconnectoristhe single-wallpipethatconnects
the stove to the chimney. The chimney itself is the masonry
orprefabricatedstructurethatenclosestheue.Chimney
connectors are used only to connect the stove to the chimney.
Single-wall connectors should be made of 24 gauge or
heavier steel. Do not use galvanized connector; it cannot
withstand the high temperatures that can be reached by
smoke and exhaust gases, and may release toxic fumes
underhighheat.Theconnectormaybe6"(152mm)or8"
(203mm)indiameter.
Ifpossible, donotpass thechimneyconnector througha
combustiblewallorceiling.Ifpassagethroughacombustible
wall is unavoidable, refer to the section on Wall Pass-
Throughs.Donotpasstheconnectorthroughanattic,acloset
or similar concealed space. The whole connector should be
exposedandaccessibleforinspectionandcleaning.

Floor Protection for Fireplace Installation
Do not assume that your replace hearth is completely
noncombustible.Manyreplacehearthsdonotsatisfythe
“completely noncombustible” requirement because the brick
orconcreteinfrontofthereplaceopeningissupportedby
heavy wood framing. Because heat passes readily through
brickorconcrete,itcaneasilypassthroughtothewood.As
aresult,suchreplacehearthscanbearehazardandare
consideredacombustibleoor.
For all replace installations, follow the oor protection
guidelinesdescribedabove,includingtheneedforabottom
shield.Keepinmindthatmanyraisedhearthswillextend
less than the required clearance from the front of the heater.
Insuchcases,sucientoorprotectionasdescribedabove
must be added in front of the hearth to satisfy the minimum
oorprotectorrequirementfromthefrontofthestove:16"
(410mm)intheUnitedStatesand18"(460mm)inCanada.
Hearthrugsdonotsatisfytherequirementforoorprotection
astheyarenotreproof.
Fireplace installations also have special clearance
requirements to the side walls, side decorative trim and
replacemantel.Refertotheinformationonreplaceand
mantel trim shields in this section.
Keep the Stove a Safe Distance From Surrounding
Materials
Both a stove and its chimney connector radiate heat in all
directionswhenoperating,andnearbycombustiblematerials
can overheat dangerously if they are too close to the heat
source. 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 or
chimneyconnector,andnearbywalls,oors,theceiling,and
anyotherxedcombustiblesurface.TheEncore
®
hasspecic
clearance requirements that have been established after
careful research and testing. These clearance requirements
must be strictly observed.
Inaddition,keepfurnishingsandothercombustiblematerials
away from the stove. In general, a distance of 48" (1219
mm)mustbemaintainedbetweenthestoveandmovable
combustible items such as drying clothes, furniture,
newspapers,rewood,etc.Keepingthoseclearanceareas
empty assures that nearby surfaces and objects will not
overheat.
Safe Ways to Reduce Clearances
Clearance requirements are established to meet every
installationpossibility,andtheyinvolvethecombinationof
these variables:
• When the stove pipe has no listed heat shield mounted
on it.
• When the wall has no heat shield mounted on it.
• When the wall has a heat shield mounted on it.
• When the wall and stove pipe have heat shields.
Ingeneral,thegreatestclearanceisrequiredwhenyouplace
a stove and its connector near a wall with no heat shield.
Forexample,whentheEncore
®
is installed using 6" connector
pipe parallel to the rear wall and no connector shield is
used,itmustbeatleast15"(381mm)fromthewallbehind
itandatleast19"(483mm)fromwallsoneitherside.These
dimensions are measured from the back of the rear shroud
and the side edge of the cast iron top to the combustible wall.
IftheEncore
®
isinstalledinacornerandnoshieldisused,
thecornersofthestovetopmustbeatleast18-1/2"(470
mm)fromnearbywalls.
Clearancesmaybereducedonlybymeansapprovedbythe
regulatoryauthority,andinaccordancewiththeclearances
listed in this manual. Refer to the clearance chart for approved
clearancereductionspecications.
