Alcove Installations

Because of their restricted air flow and heat retention
characteristics, specific construction requirements and
special clearances apply to installations into alcoves.
No stove or chimney connector heat shields are used in
alcove installations.
ALCOVE INSTALLATION OF THE MADISON IS NOT

PERMITTED IN CANADA.
