Alcove Installation Requirements
Whenever the stove is placed in a location where the ceiling height is less than 7' tall, it is considered an
alcove installation. Because of the reduced height, the special installation requirements listed below must
be met.
•
Chimney connector and chimney must be one of the following types:
AMERI-TEC model DCC with model HS chimney
DURAVENT model DVL with DURATEC or DURA-PLUS chimney
GSW Super Chimney Twenty-One connected directly to appliance
I.C.C. Excel (2100-2 Can.) (103-HT USA) chimney with HP connector
METALFAB model DW connector with TG chimney
OLIVER MACLEOD PROVENT model PV connector with model 3103 chimney
SECURITY model DP connector with SECURITY model ASHT or S2100 chimney
SELKIRK METALBESTOS model DS connector with model SSII chimney
Standard Masonry Chimney with any one of the above listed connectors
NOTE: Reduced clearance connectors may not connect to the flue collar – an appliance adapter may be required.
•
Alcoves are classified as combustible or non-combustible. Non-combustible alcoves must have walls
and a ceiling that are 3 1/2" thick of a non-combustible material (brick, stone, or concrete - see Figure
7). This non-combustible material must be spaced and ventilated at least 1" off of all combustible
materials (walls, ceiling, etc.) to allow air to move around the non-combustible walls and ceiling. All
other alcoves are considered combustible. The clearances below must be met:
