1.3 Residential Installation Instructions
Choose a location for the unit which meets the minimum clearances to combustibles (see Table 1.1). For
other than masonry chimneys determine if the factory built chimney will pass between the ceiling joists; if
not, choose a new location so that it will, while still maintaining the minimum clearances.
1. Mark the location for the floor protection ‡ (if required) as noted in Figure 1.1.
Note: If outside air for combustion is to be used it should be provided for at this time. This requires that the
Osburn Fresh Air Kit Wood (#OA10500) be installed (refer to the installation instructions which are
provided in the outside air kit. Install the unit.
Floor Protection Requirements (for combustible floors)
If the stove is to be installed on top of a combustible floor it must be guarded by a non-combustible
material extending beneath the heater and to the front and sides as indicated in Figure 1.1, or to the nearest
permitted combustible material. Floor protection must extend beneath, and 2” (51 mm) to the sides of a
horizontal connector if one has been used.
Please note that floor protection is required under the pedestal models for spark and ash shielding, but not
for limiting floor temperatures from the radiant heat of the stove. The stove was designed and safety tested
so that without any protection the floor would not overheat even under over firing conditions. Please refer
to local codes for suitable floor protection materials.
