Page 36 Installation and Operation Manual-Osburn 3500 8.2 Floor Protection This stove is designed to prevent the floor from overheating. However, it must be placed on a non-flammable surface to protect the floor from hot embers that may fall during loading. The floor protection must be a continuous, non combustible material, such as steel with a minimum thickness of 0.015" (0.38 mm) or ceramic tiles sealed together with grout. Cement board, brick, or any other approved or listed material suited for floor protection. No R factor required. A material is considered non-combustible when made entirely of steel, iron, bricks, tiles, concrete, slate, glass or a combination of these materials. Materials corresponding to ASTM E136 and UL 763 are considered to be non-combustible materials with the exception of gypsum. Any type of tile will require a continuous non combustible sheet beneath to prevent the possibility .J of embers falling through to the combustible floor if cracks or separation should occur in the C2 Z finished surface. Check local codes for approved alternatives. W No protection is required if the unit is installed on a non-combustible floor (ex: concrete).

Only required under the horizontal section (Ho) of the connector. Must exceed each side of the connector by at least 2 inches (51 mm). See«Figure 13:Clearances-Side" Installation and Operation Manual-Osburn 3500 Page 37 8.3 Reducing Clearances Safely It is often desired to use as little space as possible when installing a wood stove. To do this, it is possible to reduce the clearances safely and install the stove closer to the walls by /0, permanently installing a heat shield between the stove and the flammable material. The rules for heat shields are sometimes complicated. Read .. • and apply the instructions carefully. Some regions may have different regulations. Consult the local building code or contact • the fire department for restrictions, inspection and installation requirements in the area. I Warning: Note that to reduce the clearances of an appliance using a single wall pipe connector, the use of a heat shield certified with the single wall pipe connector to be C z used as close as 6" from combustible materials must be used. Only in this case, the W same clearances as a certified double wall pipe connector can be used. 8.3. 1 Shield Construction Rules - Adhesives used in shield construction must not ignite or lose adhesive qualities at temperatures likely to be encountered. - Mounting hardware which extends from the shield surface into combustibles may be used only at the edges of the shield. - Mounting hardware must allow full vertical ventilation. See figures for shield construction to match each letter to a clearance. A) Minimum clearance between the appliance top and an unshielded combustible ceiling: (39 'A") (997 mm). B) Shield extension above the appliance: 20" (500 mm). C) Minimum space behind the shield: 1 " (25 mm). In Canada %" (21 mm). D) Clearance along the bottom of the shield: minimum 1 " (25 mm) and maximum 3" (75 mm). E) Minimum clearance along the top of the shield at the ceiling: 3" (75 mm). F) Mounting hardware must not be located closer than 8" (200 mm) from the vertical centre line of the appliance. G) Edge clearance for ceiling shields to side and back walls: 3" (75 mm). H) Shield extension beyond each side of the appliance: 18" (450 mm). Page 38 Installation and Operation Manual-Osburn 3500
