Install after
the fireplace
All components added between the H base and the external dimensions of the
insulated shell (V) must be made of a non-combustible material.
The red line on the illustration shows where to place the sealing strip.
To be compliant with the building code, floor protection is mandatory. The floor
area in front of the appliance must be protected by a non-combustible material.
The H base raises the fireplace enough that the R value does not need to be taken
into account.
This protection must extend the entire width of the glass pane plus 8" on each
side, on a projection of 16" or 18" in relation to the glass pane, according to the
standards applicable in the country concerned.
The 16-combo is installed in front of the wall, which requires a greater protection
slab. The projection (P) is calculated from the wall finishing, meaning the back of
the front panel.
UNDER THE FIREPLACE
It is mandatory to extend the
floor protection (non-combustible
material) under the H base. It is
also mandatory to protect the
wall structure by adding non-
combustible material vertically on
the sides and in the back.

The junction between the non-combustible
material under the H base and the non-
combustible floor in front of the fireplace must
be sealed to prevent embers from entering the
wall or reaching the subfloor.
IN FRONT OF THE FIREPLACE
STRUCTURE'S LOAD-BEARING CAPACITY
It is vital to ensure that the combustible structure and the floor are strong
enough to hold the weight of the fireplace and the weight of the chimney.
See the technical specifications (page 6) for the weight of the units.
If in doubt, consult a specialist.

It is possible to install a shelf or decorative object made of a combustible material
starting at 28" from the top of the unit's opening.
For a shelf made of a combustible material, it is important to take the depth of the
shelf into account, as it can greatly influence the shelf's positioning in relation to the
top of the fireplace opening (glass frame).
Use one of the formulas below based on the largest known measurement for instal-
lation as desired.

It is possible to install/build in a TV above the unit. That said, to ensure adequate
ventilation, it is important that the recess created for this purpose have a maximum
depth of 4" and to have a clerance of a minimum of 4" between the television
and other objects (walls, frames, etc.). Failing to do so may cause the television's
internal temperature to rise and may result in a fire and/or damage to the product.
There must be a minimum of 2" between the back wall and the appliance's chim-
ney at all times.

For more information about installation above a fireplace, refer to your
television's installation/operating manual or contact the television
manufacturer and follow the instructions.

Combustion air
Convection air
The fireplace is supplied
by two types of air:
NOTE
Active air extraction systems (range hood, air conditioning, controlled
mechanical ventilation, another fireplace, 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 fireplace's operation (risk of
backdraft). They can disrupt the fireplace'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-Z model of the H
base (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 fireplace. 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.

Option 2: Connected to the inside air, in another location near the fireplace.
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 fireplace
This option is not recommended for an airtight house.
If it is not possible to connect the fireplace to the outside air, it is important to ensure
that the air exchange in the room will always be sufficient when the fireplace is in
operation.
The air damper keeps the house from cooling down when the fireplace 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.

CONNECTORS
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).

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 fireplace 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
The front panel, the thin edge frame and the
H base included in the Stûv 16-combo kit do
not affect the air supply.
