Floor Protection 

Freestanding installations require a minimum 33 ¼” wide by 36” 

long floor protection. The stove must be placed on a continuous 
(grouted joints) noncombustible material such as ceramic tile, 

cement board, brick, 3/8” millboard or equivalent, or other 

approved or listed material suited for floor protection. 

THE MATERIAL(S) USED MUST HAVE, OR COMBINE TO 

HAVE, A MINIMUM INSULATIVE RATING OF ‘R1’.

IN THE INSTALLATION OF THIS UNIT. 

Venting 

Equivalent Vent Length (EVL) 

The longer the length of your exhaust flue, the more restriction there is in the system.  Therefore, a larger diameter pipe 

should be used.  As such, prior to purchasing and installing your unit, you should carefully plan your installation and 

calculate the equivalent vent length (EVL) of your planned installation.  Use the following to calculate your EVL: 



90º Elbow or Tee 

= 5 Feet 



45º Elbow 

= 3 Feet 



Horizontal Pipe   

= 1 Foot per actual foot (actual measurement) 



Vertical Pipe 

= ½ Foot per actual foot (1/2 of actual measurement) 

If your EVL is less than 15’ you may use 3” diameter pipe.  However, if your EVL is 15’ or greater you must use 4” 

diameter pipe.  If your exhaust configuration has three elbows, or if you have a corner installation going out a sidewall, 
4” diameter pipe should be used regardless of your EVL calculation.
