Phoenix Model 8612 Installation U NPACKING Hearthstone packages your Phoenix stove with the greatest care, so that it ships safely. Under certain circumstances, however, damage can occur during transit and handling. When you receive your stove, unpack it carefully, inspecting your stove and all parts for damage. Also, make sure that all parts are included with the stove, on the stove, or in the firebox. If any parts are damaged or missing, please contact your dealer immediately. If you use a close clearance connector pipe, it must be listed, and tested to UL standards. Check the listing of your pipe for actual clearances.
The diagrams in this manual represent typical installations, but are specific to the Simpson Dura-Vent DVL brand. Clearances cannot be reduced without the use of close clearance connector pipe and/or by protecting the surfaces per NFPA 211 standards. H EARTH R EQUIREMENTS & F LOOR P ROTECTION The floor protection must extend beyond the body of the stove at the minimum as follows: I NSTALLING Y OUR S TOVE First, you must decide where to situate your stove. After choosing an appropriate spot, inspect this location to make sure that the stove will have enough clearance to combustible materials that would surround the stove.
These combustibles can include walls, floor, ceiling, fireplace, and chimney. You must carefully consider the clearances to all of these combustibles before actually connecting your stove. When considering these clearances, also decide the kind of floor the stove will rest on. Depending on your floor, you can install your stove as it is, or use a floor protector (Hearth). You will need to purchase a reversible 45 elbow for the flue collar exit.
By reversing the 45 elbow, the stove can be installed as either a rear exit stove (stovepipe typically exiting horizontally from the back of the stove into a chimney) or a top exit stove (stovepipe typically exiting vertically up from the stove into a close clearance chimney through the ceiling and up above the roofline). These and other methods of installation are acceptable as long as all clearances, codes and other installation instructions are observed. Figure 2 – 8612 Hearth Pad Requirements Use this section to plan how to situate your stove in your particular location. Consider both the clearances of the stovepipe and the stove itself to the surrounding combustibles.
Installations in Canada require 18” (45.72 cm) of floor protection in the front. Rear clearance is required only if stovepipe runs horizontally back from the top of the stove. Acceptable floor protection is a listed floor protector with an “R” factor of 1.0. The soapstone walls of the Phoenix soapstone stove produce an even, radiant heat. Locate the stove centrally in your living area to allow the heat to travel naturally to distant rooms. It is not recommended that you locate your stove in an uninsulated basement. The amount of radiant energy required to heat concrete basement walls is so great that most of the usable heat is absorbed by them and lost to the rest of the home.
The floor protector must have minimum dimensions of 42”w x 42”d (1067 mm x 1067 mm) and must extend at least 8” beyond the body of the stove on the sides. Outside Air Supply You can connect an outside air source directly to this stove using an optional outside air kit. The advantage of providing outside air directly to the stove is that the air used by the stove for combustion is taken from outside the residence rather than from within the room Read this chapter to obtain a sound understanding of how to properly install your stove.
