Section 1.0 - Installation
When installed and operated as described in these instructions, the Osburn Model 1800 Bay Wood
Stove is suitable for use as a freestanding wood stove in either residential or mobile home installations.
The Model 1800 is not intended for installation in a bedroom.
In Canada the CSA B365 Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burning Appliances and Equipment and the
CSA C22.1 Canadian National Electrical Code are to be followed in the absence of local code
requirements. In the USA the ANSI NFPA 70 National Electrical Code and NFPA 211 Standard for
Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances are to be followed in the absence of
local code requirements.
In addition to the national installation codes, local building and/or fire officials (or other authorities
having jurisdiction) should be contacted to determine what restrictions and installation requirements
might locally apply.
1.1 General Installation
1. Proper ventilation is required.
2. Do not connect this unit to any air distribution duct.
3. Connect the stove only to a lined masonry chimney conforming to national and local
building codes for use with solid fuel, or to a listed factory built chimney suitable for use
with solid fuel.

FIGURE 1.3 Clearances to combustible materials and floor protection

Floor protector
If the stove is to be installed on top of a combustible floor, it must be guarded by a non combustible
material as shown on figure 1.3 (see the dotted line area).
FLOOR PROTECTOR*
CANADA USA
G 8’’ (203 mm) – Note 1 N/A (Canada only)
H 8’’ (203 mm) N/A (Canada only)
I 18’’ (457 mm)
From door opening 16’’ (406 mm) From door opening
J N/A (USA only) 8’’ (203 mm)
M 8’’ (203 mm) N/A (Canada only)
N N/A (USA only) Note 2
*Steel with a minimum thickness of 0.015’’ (0.38 mm) or ceramic tiles sealed together with grout.
No protection is required if the unit is installed on a non-combustible floor (ex: concrete).
Note 1 : The floor protection at the back of the stove is limited to the stove’s required clearance
if such clearance is smaller than 8 inches (203 mm).
Note 2 : Only required under the horizontal section of the connector. Must exceed each side of
the connector by at least 2 inches (51 mm).
Reduced clearances using shielding
You may decrease the clearances by installing heat radiation shields between the walls or the ceiling
and the stove. These heat radiation shields must be installed permanently, and can include sheet metal,
a rigid non-combustible sheet or a masonry wall.
Clearances of not less than 1" (25 mm) and not more than 3" (76 mm) between the bottom of the shield
and the floor and not less than 3" (76 mm) between the top of the shield and the ceiling must be
respected to allow vertical air circulation behind the shield. The shield must extend 20" (500 mm)
above the stove top and 18" (450mm) to each side of the stove (see graphic 1).

Following the installation of such a heat radiation shield, the clearances mentioned on the stove
certification plate may be reduced as stated in the following table.
