ALCOVE INSTALLATION
All freestanding Ovation stove models are approved for alcove installation using double-wall chimney
pipe. An alcove must not be greater than four feet deep as measured from the alcove face wall to the
alcove back wall. In addition, the alcove must have at least seven feet of clearance when measured
from the floor to the alcove ceiling. In an alcove installation, side clearances of fourteen inches from
the stove to combustibles and rear clearances of six inches from the stove to combustibles must be
maintained as a minimum. Alcove clearances require the use of listed UL 103 or listed ULC S629
Type HT (2100
O F) double wall chimney pipe to establish clearances according to FIGURE 13 as shown
in TABLE 2. Contact a local building professional or building inspector to obtain information on any
local code requirements for such installation.

FLOOR PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS
1. All Country Flame freestanding Ovation stoves require a listed floor protector that is
noncombustible. Country Flame Ovation stoves were tested with a listed floor
protection that had an R value equal to or greater than 1.5. Ensure that any floor
protection equals or exceeds R = 1.5 or greater. Refer to FIGURE 9 for floor protector
clearance requirements.
2. If a floor protector, different from the tested floor protector, is to be used, it must meet
or exceed the requirements of the listed R-value of the tested floor protector. To
convert alternate floor protectors to their respective R value use the following
procedures:
a. Convert floor material specification to R-value.
i. R-value is given – no conversion is required.
ii. k-factor is given with required thickness (T) in inches: R = (1/k) x T.
iii. C-factor given: R = 1/C.
b. Determine the R-value of the proposed alternate floor protector.
