floor protection Requirements
If the Oakleaf is being installed on a combustible
floor, the bottom heat shield (part # 1-00-797058) must
be installed along with proper floor protection material.
(See page 25). Floor protection must be a minimum
3/8" (9.5mm) thickness of material having an insulating
value equal to or better than 0.84k/in. (The lower the k
value, the better the protection.)
Another method for calculating floor protection is in
R value. This requirement would be for an R value of
0.45 or higher. (The higher the R value, the better the
protection).
Example- 1 inch of Durock® = 0.52R
In all installations, the area under and around the
stove must be protected from falling ash and live coals.
The area under a horizontal run of chimney connector
must also be protected, extending two (2) inches
beyond the measurement of the horizontal connector.
Further guidelines for floor protection are as follows:
In the U.S. the floor protector must be completely
under the stove, and extending 16" in front of the door
opening, 8" to each side and 8" to the back.
In Canada, the floor protection must extend 18"
(457mm) in front of the door opening, 8" (203mm) to
each side and extend to the wall behind the stove.
