DIMENSIONSSTÛV 16-IN
MASONRY HEARTH
The Stûv 16-in is designed to be installed in a masonry hearth. The dimensions
specific to each frame can be found on the previous page. For larger hearths,
larger picture type frames are available, or a painted steel plate can be cut out in
the shape of the hearth.
This insert must be installed in a masonry hearth that is in compliance with the
building code.
The minimum distance from a perpendicular combustible wall is 14" from the insert's
glass pane.
TELEVISION OR SHELF MADE OF A COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL
It is possible to install a shelf, a television or a decorative object made of a
combustible material starting at 25" from the top of the insert, as well as on the
sides of the insert, at a lateral distance of 5 ½".
To plan the installation of such items, it is important to take into account the
minimum and maximum dimensions indicated below by always measuring from
the outside of the insert. If increasing the depth of the shelf, calculate at a 45°angle
from the minimum measurements indicated. The same goes for the thickness of
the side edges.

To be compliant with the building code, floor protection from embers is mandatory.
The floor area in front of the insert must be protected by a non-combustible
material.
This protection must extend the entire width of the glass pane, plus 8" on each
side, on the projection (P in the table) according to the standards applicable in the
country concerned. The projection muse be calculated starting from the front
of the door.
*The floor protection must be installed all the way up to the wall, no matter its
distance from the insert's door, and a sealing strip must be added at the junction to
keep embers from entering the wall.
FLOOR PROTECTION AGAINST EMBERS
The hearth extension must comply with standards N.F.P.A 211, CAN/CSA A405 or
the National Building Code of Canada. If not, the R value must be calculated and
respected to install the Stûv 16.
In all cases, the masonry hearth and chimney must comply with the above-
mentioned standards.
Respect the minimum distances applicable in the country concerned and use
materials that respect the minimum R value.
The X dimension must be calculated from under the unit.

The heat radiating from the glass will be significant. Any combustible object must
be placed a minimum of 48’’ by 90° away from the glass face to avoid any fire risk.
CAUTION - FIRE HAZARD
To avoid major damage, no combustible material should be placed near
the insert's door or near the hot air outlet. Blocking the latter may cause the
unit to overheat and, in some cases, cause a fire.
Avoid heat traps. Materials exposed to the radiant heat must be able to
withstand high temperatures.

6
NOTE
Active air extraction systems (range hood, air conditioning, controlled
mechanical ventilation, another insert, etc.) in the same space or in an
adjacent room also consume a large amount of air, which could create
negative pressure in the room and hamper the insert's operation (risk of
backdraft). They can disrupt the insert's operation even if connected to an
outside air intake.
!
COMBUSTION AIR
The air required for combustion arrives directly from under the appliance via an
outside air intake connector specially designed for the Stûv 16-in model (see
next page for details).
The air injected into the top of the combustion chamber allows the gases to be
burned a second time, preventing fine particles from being released into the air.
The air flow along the glass pane helps keep it free of combustion dust, for an
impeccable view of the fire.
Once the gases have been burned, they are evacuated through the chimney
pipe (see CHIMNEY section for details).
The air combustion inlet can be configured in three ways. See next page for details.
The convection air system is incorporated in the insert. No connection is needed
for its operation.
The ambient air gathered from the room moves along the combustion
chamber, absorbing heat
Once heated, this air exits naturally through the appliance's upper frame,
spreading a comforting warmth throughout the room.

CAUTION
The air intake must never be adjusted. This wood heater has a manufacturer-
set minimum low burn rate that must not be altered. It is against federal
regulations to alter this setting or otherwise operate this wood heater in a
manner inconsistent with operating instructions in this manual.

.11 AIR SUPPLY
Option 1: Connected to the outside air with a kit
Although recommended, this setup is mandatory in some places.
Whether it is connected to the insert or not, the duct leading to the outside air must:
• be protected outdoors by a grille whose clear passage section is at least 4" in
diameter. Beware of water infiltration, snow accumulation and wind impacts,
which can damage the system or hinder its operation
Option 2: Connected to the inside air, in another location near the insert.
This air inlet must have a sufficient air intake (minimum ø 4"), from a crawl space,
ventilated room (basement) or another room in which the air exchange will always
be sufficient.
The criteria for the length of the duct and the bends are the same as for the
option 1.
Option 3: Without a connector, air taken from the same room as the insert
This option is not recommended for an airtight house.
If it is not possible to connect the insert to the outside air, it is important to ensure
that the air exchange in the room will always be sufficient when the insert is in
operation.
The air damper keeps the house from cooling down when the insert is not in use. It
has a 100% open and a 100% closed position, which cannot affect combustion. It is
recommended when installing in a highly energy-efficient house.
It should ideally be placed as close to the outer wall as possible. Validate that the
air damper dimensions meet the installation's needs. The damper's control cable
is 48" long and the damper is ø4" in diameter.

COMBUSTION AIR (OPTIONS)
If our standard ø 4’ flexible duct is used,
we recommend a maximum length of
12' with no more than 4 bends (see table
to the right). If these recommendations
are exceeded, it will be necessary to
compensate with a larger diameter
and/or a smoother duct.
• not be crushed
• ideally be equipped with an air
damper (optional)
• be at least 8' long , ideally insu-
lated, and form a loop in the wall
to prevent condensation (in places
with winter temperatures).
