figures 10–12 in this manual.
4. Do not install this stove in a mobile
home, manufactured home, trailer or tent
NO EXCEPTIONS! (HUD Federal Standard:
24 CFR Ch.XX).
5. If any parts are missing or defective, please no-
tify the dealer or manufacturer immediately. DO
NOT OPERATE A STOVE THAT IS MISSING
ANY PARTS!.
6. Do not tamper with combustion air control be-
yond normal adjustment capacities.
7. Always connect this stove to a chimney and vent
to the outside. Never vent to another room or in-
side a building. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT
TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER
APPLIANCE.
8. Do NOT connect a wood burning stove to an
aluminum Type B gas vent.This is not safe. Use
a code-approved masonry chimney with flue
liner or a UL 103 HT Listed Residential Type and
Building Heating Appliance Chimney. Use a 6”
diameter chimney or larger, that is high enough
to give a good draft. (See specifics in installation
instructions).
9. Be sure that your chimney is safely constructed
and in good repair. Have the chimney inspected
by the fire department or a qualified inspector.
Your insurance company should be able to recom-
mend a qualified inspector.
10. Creosote or soot may build up in the chimney
connector and chimney and cause a house/build-
ing fire. Inspect the chimney connector and chim-
ney twice monthly during the heating season and
clean if necessary. (See Chimney Maintenance,
page 16).
11. In the event of a chimney fire, turn the air
control to closed position, leave the build-
ing and CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
IMMEDIATELY! Have a clearly understood plan
on how to handle a chimney fire by contacting
your local fire authority for information on proper
procedures in the event of a chimney fire.
12. To prevent injury, do not allow anyone to use this
stove who is unfamiliar with the correct operation
of the stove.
13. Do not o p era t e stove w hi le u n d e r th e
influence of drugs or alcohol.
14. Ashes should not be allowed to accumulate above
sides of ash drawer. Dispose of ashes in a metal
container with a tight fitting lid. Keep the closed
container on a noncombustible floor or on the
ground, well away from all combustible materials.
Keep the ashes in the closed container until all
cinders have thoroughly cooled. The ashes may
be buried in the ground or picked up by a refuse
collector.
15. The special paints used on your stove may
give off some smoke and an odor while
they are curing during the first 12 to 15 fires.
Additional smoke and odor may be emitted
from the light oils used in construction of the
fire box. This should disappear after a short
period of time and not occur again. Persons
with lung conditions or owners of suscep-
tible domestic pets (such as birds) should take
prudent precautions. Open windows and
doors as needed to clear smoke and/or odor.
Paint discoloration will occur if the stove is
overfired.
16. This stove has a painted surface which
is durable but it will not stand rough handling
or abuse. When installing your stove, use care
continued on next page

VGZ-027 / 20100909.1 TR002 SHILOH™ / Page 3
in handling. Clean with soap and warm water
when stove is not hot. Do not use any acids
or scouring soap, as these solvents wear and dull
the finish.
17. While stove is in operation all persons, especially
young children, should be alerted to the hazards
from high surface temperatures. Keep away from
a hot stove to avoid burns or clothing ignition.
18. If small children will be in the same room as
the stove during operation, provide a stur-
dy barrier to keep them at a safe distance
from the stove. NEVER LEAVE SMALL
CHILDREN UNSUPERVISED WHEN THEY ARE
IN THE SAME ROOM AS THE STOVE.
19. The walls of the firebox may become slightly dis-
torted after a period of use. A slight distortion will
not affect the operation of the stove.
20. Keep stove area clear and free from all
combustible materials, gasoline, and other flam-
mable vapors and liquids.
21. To prevent bur ns always wear protective
clothing, leather hearth gloves and eye
protection, while tending the fire.
22. While in operation, keep the ash cleanout cover in
place. Keep the feed door closed and secured at
all times except while tending the fire.
23. Do not overfire the stove. Overfiring will
occur if the feed door or ash clean-out cover are
left open during operation. Such actions can result
in very dangerous operating conditions.
24. DO NOT ELEVATE FIRE! Build fire directly on the
bottom of the firebox.This stove has not been tested
with the use of grates, andirons, or other means of
elevating fire and should not be used.
25. All power cords and electrical appliances
and/or assemblies must be kept outside of the
clearance dimensions shown in this manual for
combustible materials.

CONNECTOR PIPE INSTALLATION
1. The crimped end of the stovepipe fits inside the
stove flue collar. Install additional pipe and elbow
with the crimped end towards the stove. This will
allow any condensation in the flue to run back into
the firebox.
2. Horizontal pipe runs must slope upwards
towards the chimney at least 1/4” per foot of hori-
zontal run.
3. You must have at least 18 inches of clearance
between any horizontal piping and the ceiling.
4. The pipe cannot extend into the chimney flue
(figure 13).
5. Secure pipe/elbow sections with three (3) sheet
metal screws at each joint to make the piping
rigid.
6. It is recommended that no more than two (2)
90° bends be used in the stovepipe installa-
tion. The use of more than two 90° bends may
decrease the amount of draw and possibly
cause smoke spillage. Where possible, use only
corrugated (non adjustable) elbows. These
provide a better seal.
7. The connector pipe must not pass through an
attic or roof space, closet, or any concealed space,
floor, ceiling, wall or combustible construction. (See
Chimney Connector Systems & Clearances, page
17). A UL 103 HT Listed chimney must be used
from the first penetration of ceiling or wall to the
chimney cap.
CAUTION: NEVER USE SINGLE WALL CON-
NECTOR PIPE AS A CHIMNEY - A HOUSE FIRE
COULD RESULT.

MASONRY CHIMNEY
Before using an existing masonry chimney,
clean the chimney, inspect the flue liner and make
any repairs needed to be sure it is safe to use. Make
repairs before attaching the stove. The connec-
tor stove pipe and fittings you will need to connect
directly to a lined masonry chimney are shown in
figure 15.
CHIMNEY CONNECTIONS
The stove must be connected to either a lined ma-
sonry or manufactured metal chimney built and tested
to the specifications listed on the previous pages.
Chimneys perform two functions:
1). As a means of exhausting smoke and
flue gases which are the result of fuel com-
bustion.
2). The chimney (only) provides “draft”which allows
oxygen to be continuously introduced into the
appliance, so that proper combustion is
possible. This stove relies on natural draft to
operate.
NOTICE: Always provide a source of fresh air
into the room where the stove is located. Failure
to do so may result in air starvation of other fuel
burning appliances and the possible development
of hazardous conditions, fire or death.
Your stove does not create draft. Draft is provided
by the chimney. To achieve proper draft your chimney
must meet the three minimum height requirements
detailed in figures 16–18. A minimum of 0.05 w.c.
(measured in water column) is required for proper
drafting to prevent back puffing, smoke spillage, and to
maximize performance. (Gauges to measure draft are
readily available at stove stores and are economical to
rent or purchase.)
Factors such as wind, barometric pressure, trees,
terrain and chimney temperature can have an adverse
effect on the draft. The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for external factors leading to less than
optimal drafting.
Should you have a problem with inadequate draft,
you should contact a licensed heating and cooling con-
tractor for assistance in solving the problem.
IMPORTANT Installation Points
1. Size chimney flue to stove collar.This stove requires
a 6” diameter flue.
2. Never connect this unit to a chimney serving an-
other appliance.
3. The chimney must meet all minimum height require-
ments.
4. Never use a chimney to ventilate a cellar or base-
ment.
5. Contact your local building authority
for approved methods of installation and any
necessary permits and/or inspections.

through Attic Space
Figure 15 - Masonry Chimney Connection
If the connector stove pipe must go through a
combustible wall before entering the masonry chimney,
consult a qualified mason or chimney dealer.The instal-
lation must conform to local building and fire codes and
latest edition of NFPA 211.
If there is a cleanout opening in the base of the
chimney, close it tightly.

MANUFACTURED CHIMNEY
REFER TO CHIMNEY AND CHIMNEY CONNEC-
TOR MAKER’S INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
AND USE.
Use only 6” diameter listed chimney UL 103 HT.
Chimney made to this listing is High Temperature rated
to 2100 degrees Fahrenheit.Use chimney from only one
manufacturer. Never mix brands. Carefully follow the
chimney manufacturer’s stated requirements and clear-
ances. Use the chimney manufacturer’s attic guards,
roof supports, flashing and fire stops when passing
through a ceiling. Use a listed thimble when passing
through a combustible wall. Do not use makeshift com-
promises during installation. Never use a single-wall
connection pipe as a chimney!
When using a pre-existing chimney, have it’s condi-
tion and installation inspected before using. Make sure
that the chimney meets all of the UL rating requirements
listed above. Be aware that not all manufactured chim-
ney is of the UL 103 HT type.
NOTE: It is recommended that you contact a
licensed heating and cooling contractor (consult your
local yellow pages) for chimney installation.
Manufactured chimney with the proper required UL
listing is available from most home centers, hardware
stores, and HVAC supply stores.
If you have access to the internet, you may wish
to view chimney manufacturers’ information on-line.
See, www.duravent.com, www.selkirkinc.com, or
www.mtlfab.com.
VENTING TO EXISTING FIREPLACE
In some instances, people desire to convert an ex-
isting fireplace for stove use. Usually, safe connection to
an existing masonry chimney requires more work than
using a prefabricated chimney. The existing fireplace
must be closed and sealed at the damper with high-
temperature caulk, ceramic wool, or furnace cement.
Prior to installation, clean and inspect the existing flue
and smoke shelf. Installation should be designed so
the system can be dismantled for periodic cleaning and
inspection. Before conversion, make sure the existing
chimney is structurally sound, the chimney incorporates
a flue liner and make sure it is in good condition. (A flue
liner consists of clay tile that protects the brickwork of
a chimney. If a chimney does not have a liner, or it is
damaged, have it relined by a professional. Do Not use
a chimney that is unlined or damaged!) If you have
any question regarding the condition of the chimney,
consult a qualified licensed contractor, qualified en-
gineer, competent mason, certified Chimney Sweep,

CAUTION: NOT ALL FIREPLACES ARE SUIT-
ABLE FOR CONVERSION TO A WOOD STOVE.
CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED EXPERT.
Many prefabricated fireplaces are of the “zero-clear-
ance fireplace” category. These consist of multilayered
metal construction. They are designed with enough
insulation and/or air cooling on the base, back and sides
so they can be safely installed in direct contact with
combustible floors and walls. Although many prefab-
ricated fireplaces carry endorsements from nationally
recognized organizations for use as fireplaces, they
have not been tested for connection to wood stove
heaters. Connecting a stove to such a device will void
the manufacturer’s warranty.
Steel-lined fireplaces are constructed with
1/4” firebox liner, an air chamber in connection with 8”
of masonry. These can be safely used with wood burn-
ing stoves. They contain all the essential components
of a fireplace, firebox, damper, throat, smoke shelf,
and smoke chamber. Many look identical to masonry
fireplaces and should be checked carefully before con-
necting a stove to them.
Venting a stove directly into a fireplace does not
meet code and should not be attempted. (This consti-
tutes connection to another appliance - the fireplace.)
Combustion products will be deposited and build up in
the firebox or fireplace. The stove warranty will be void
with such an installation. Do not create a hazard in your
home by connecting in this manner.

2. Install a metal or fire clay (5/8” minimum thickness)
thimble. Make sure the thimble is flush with the inner
surface of the chimney liner and does not protrude
into the flue (see figure 13 on page 9).
3. Secure the thimble with refractory mortar. The
thimble should be surrounded by 8” of solid unit
masonry brickwork or 24” of stone.
4. Install the stovepipe into the thimble as far as pos-
sible without extending past the flue lining (see
figures 13 & 15 on pages 9 & 10).
5. A small airspace (about 1/2”) should remain
between the stovepipe and thimble to allow for
expansion of the pipe. Seal this airspace with high-
temperature caulking or ceramic wool.
6. Secure and seal the damper in the closed posi-
tion using high-temp caulking, ceramic wool, or
furnace cement. Also check to see if the chimney
has a cleanout. If it does, make sure it is closed and
sealed as well. A leaky cleanout will greatly reduce
draft efficiency.
If you have any questions regarding venting your
stove, contact the manufacturer or contact the National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and request a copy
of the latest editions of NFPA Standard 211 and NFPA
Standard 908. Their address is:
Battery March Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
ing masonry chimney (figure 19 “Type A”
fireplace conversion) of the fireplace is the
only approved method of installation. This
is a complicated and involved process and
to insure safety should only by done by a
qualified installer.
1. An entry hole must be cut through the
masonry and tile liner with minimal dam-
age to the liner. At least 8” of liner must
remain below the entry position. When
locating the stove and stovepipe, all
minimum clearances must be observed
from combustible surfaces including
mantels, combustible trimwork, ceilings
and walls. Positioning the center of the
stove pipe entry into the chimney 24”
below the ceiling should insure proper
clearance for a 6” stovepipe.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
THIS STOVE IS DESIGNED TO BURN
WOOD FUEL ONLY!
Hardwood, 15” to 17” should be split and air dried
(seasoned), for 6 months to obtain maximum burning
efficiency. Wood should be stored in a dry, well venti-
lated area.
NOTICE: USE SOLID WOOD MATERIALS ONLY.
DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE
FLUIDS. DO NOT USE COALTHIS STOVE IS NOT

COAL OR COAL PRODUCTS. DO NOT ELEVATE
FIRE OR USE GRATES OR ANDIRONS. BUILD
FIRE DIRECTLY ON BOTTOM OF FIREBOX.
OPTIMAL FUEL CONSUMPTION
This stove is designed to get the most efficient
transfer of heat energy from the wood fuel and radiate
it into your living environment. The fire box introduces
combustion air through three sources. (1) Immediately
beneath the door opening below the window is a Lower
Primary Air Orifice (LPAO). (2) The door air inlet con-
trol brings air into the firebox and controls the rate of
burn (and the amount of heat the stove radiates). (3)
The secondary air tubes at the top of the firebox are
designed to ignite the combustion gases (smoke) given
off by the burning wood and increases the efficiency of
the stove and reduces chimney emissions.
Smoke given off by burning fuel consists of very
small organic liquid droplets.If these droplets condense,
they form a sticky tar-like substance called creosote.
When operated properly, this stove is designed to burn
these droplets. Burning these droplets releases heat
that would otherwise be lost up the chimney as smoke.
Following the instructions below will help you operate
your stove properly to maximize the stove’s perfor-
mance. Actual performance is dependent on chimney
height, weather, log size, wood species and moisture
content. Some experimentation will initially be required
to find that “sweet spot” where your stove performs best.
The following will give you a starting point to find your
optimum settings.
When first loading fuel set the door air inlet control
at the wide open position for at least 15–20 minutes.
When the stove is working properly you should be able
to observe secondary combustion flames above the fuel
pieces in front of the secondary air tubes at the top of
the firebox.These secondary flames should continue to
burn after the primary air inlet is reset from wide open
to the desired operating setting. If the flames do not

continue to burn, open the air control to re-establish the
secondary flames then slowly reset the air control to the
desired setting. Initially it may take several attempts to
figure your stove out. But once you find the operating
“sweet spot” and the correct mix of procedures to get
there, only minor adjustments will be necessary.
The best indicator of a properly operating stove is
to look for smoke coming out of the chimney. You may
see steam emissions that will quickly dissipate. Smoke
will thin but continue to drift without totally disappearing.
If you do detect smoke emissions, open the air control
a little bit, let the stove adjust for 10–15 minutes and
re-check your chimney. Remember – visible smoke
represents lost heat.
NOTICE - INITIAL BURNS TO CURE PAINT
BECAUSE OF THE HIGH OPERATING
TEMPERATURES, THIS STOVE USES
A SPECIAL HIGH-TEMP PAINT WHICH
REQUIRES A SERIES OF BURNS TO
CURE THE PAINT FOR DURABILITY AND
A LIFETIME OF SERVICE.
Proper curing of the high-temp paint
requires a series of three initial burns. The stove
should be allowed to cool off between each burn.
The first two burns should be small fires and low
temperatures (250 degrees F) for a duration of
20 minutes each. The third fire should be at a
medium-high temperature (500 F to 700 F) for twenty
minutes. Provide adequate cross ventilation to clear any
smoke or odor caused by initial firings.
STARTING A FIRE
1. Set air inlet control to fully open position.
2. Open the feed door and place several wads of
crushed paper in the firebox.
3. Cover the paper with a generous amount of kin-
dling in a teepee fashion and a few small pieces of
wood.
4. Ignite the paper and leave the door open slightly.
DO NOT LEAVE STOVE UNATTENDED WITH
DOOR OPEN!
5. Add large pieces of wood as the fire progresses
being careful not to overload. (Do not fill firebox
beyond firebrick area.) An ideal coal bed of 1 – 2”
should be established to achieve optimum perfor-
mance.
6. This unit is designed to function most effectively
when air is allowed to circulate to all areas of the
firebox. TIP: If ash or coals remain in the stove,
make sure to clear them away from the Lower Pri-
mary Air Orifice (LPAO) and rake a slight (1-to-2
inch wide) trough down the center of the coal bed
from front to back prior to loading the fuel.
7. Once fuel has been loaded, close the door and
leave the air inlet control fully open until fire is well
established (at least 15–20 minutes) being careful
not to overfire (if any of the exterior parts of the
stove or chimney connections begin to glow you
are overfiring the stove).
8. Re-adjust the door air inlet control to desired burn
rate. (If excessive smoke fills the firebox, open air
inlet control slightly until flames resume and wood
is sufficiently ignited.) The basic rule of thumb is
“closed - low,” “half way open - medium” and “fully
open - high.”
ADDING FUEL
If the coal bed is not hot and glowing, rake the coals
to the front of the stove, close the door and adjust the air
inlet control to the wide open position. Let the coals re-
heat for 10–15 minutes.When hot and glowing, spread
them out and place your next fuel load into the stove
(make sure no coals or ashes block the LPAO). Leave
the door air inlet control in the wide open position for
15–20 minutes.
Fuel load size can vary but should be kept 1–2
inches below the secondary air tubes. Also position the
fuel to leave space so the air from the inlet can work
down between the pieces of fuel.This reduces the time
it takes for new fuel to burn properly.
1. When refueling, adjust air inlet control to the fully
open position. When fire brightens, slowly and
carefully open the door.This procedure will prevent
gases from igniting causing smoke and flame spill-
age.
2. Add fuel being careful not to overload or overfire
the stove.
3. When adding fuel be careful not to smother the fire.
Do not build fires against glass and make sure the
coal bed does not obstruct the air inlet.
4. Close the feed door and secure tightly.
5. Adjust the air inlet control as described above.
6. Empty ashes regularly. Do not allow ashes
to pile up (see Safety Instructions #14 on
page 2.)
7. Properly dispose of hot ashes (see Safety
Instructions, item #14 on page 2.)

8. Do not overfire the stove (overfiring is when
any par t of the stove exterior or chimney
connections glow).
CAUTION: DO NOT OVERFIRE APPLIANCE.
YOU ARE OVERFIRING IF THE CHIMNEY
CONNECTORS OR STOVE GLOWS RED. CLOSE
THE DOOR AND SHUT DAMPER IMMEDIATELY
TO REDUCE THE AIR SUPPLY AND SLOW
DOWN THE FIRE.
CAUTION: SLOW BURNING FIRES AND
EXTENDED USE MAY CAUSE EXCESSIVE
CREOSOTE BUILDUP. IGNITION OF CRE-
OSOTE OR OVERFIRING MAY CAUSE A
CHIMNEY FIRE. CHIMNEY FIRES BURN
EXTREMELY HOT AND MAY IGNITE
SURROUNDING MATERIALS. IN CASE OF A
CHIMNEY FIRE CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
IMMEDIATELY.
CREOSOTE – FORMATION AND REMOVAL
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and
other organic vapors which combine with expelled mois-
ture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense
in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning
fire and can accumulate on the flue lining. If ignited,
this creates an extremely hot fire in the chimney which
may ignite surrounding materials resulting in a build-
ing fire.
The chimney connector and chimney should be
inspected (at least) twice a month during the heat-
ing season to determine if a creosote buildup has
occurred. If it has, it should be removed. Failure to
remove creosote may result in ignition and may cause
a house/building fire. Creosote may be removed using
a chimney brush or other commonly available materials
from your local hardware retailer.
Chimney fires burn very hot. If the unit or chimney
connector should glow red, reduce the fire by clos-
ing the inlet air control and immediately call the fire
department.
CAUTION: A CHIMNEY FIRE MAY CAUSE IGNI-
TION OF WALL STUDS OR RAFTERS WHICH
WERE ASSUMED TO BE A SAFE DISTANCE
FROM THE CHIMNEY. IF A CHIMNEY FIRE
HAS OCCURRED, HAVE YOUR CHIMNEY IN-
SPECTED BY A QUALIFIED EXPERT BEFORE
USING AGAIN.
A fire in the firebox may be smothered by pouring
a large quantity of coarse salt, baking soda, or cool
ashes on top of the fire.
PREVENTING CREOSOTE BUILDUP
1. Burn with air control open for several minutes at
numerous intervals throughout the day during the
heating season, being careful not to overfire the
unit.
2. Burn stove with air inlet control wide open for 15–20
minutes every time you apply fresh wood. This
allows wood to achieve the charcoal stage faster
and burns wood vapors which might otherwise be
deposited within the heating system.
3. BURN ONLY SEASONED WOOD. Avoid burning
wet or green wood. Seasoned wood has been dried
for at least one year.
4. A small hot fire is preferable to a large smoldering
one that can deposit creosote within the heating
system.
5. Establish a routine for the handling of fuel, wood
burner and firing technique. Check daily for creo-
sote buildup until experience shows how often you
need to clean for safe operation. Be aware that the
hotter the fire, the less creosote is deposited and
weekly cleanings may be necessary in mild weather
even though monthly cleanings may be enough in
colder months.
WARNING: IN CASE OF CHIMNEY FIRE
(1) CLOSE AIR INLET CONTROL (2) GET OUT
OF THE HOUSE (3) CALL THE FIRE DEPART-
MENT.
CHIMNEY DRAFT
Draft is a function of the chimney, not the
stove — do not expect the stove to draw. Smoke spillage
into the house or excess buildup of condensation or
creosote in the chimney are warnings that the chimney
is NOT functioning properly. Correct the problem before
using the stove. Following are some possible causes
for improper draft.
1. The connector stovepipe may be pushed into the
chimney too far, stopping the draft.
2. If the chimney is operating too cool, water will con-
dense in the chimney and run back into the stove.
Creosote formation will be rapid and may block
the chimney. Operate the stove at a fire level high
OPERATING continued . . .

enough to keep the chimney warm preventing this
condensation.
3. If the fire burns well but sometimes creates exces-
sive smoke or burns slowly, it may be caused by
the chimney top being lower than another part of
the house or a nearby tree. The wind blowing over
a house or tree, falls on top of the chimney like
water over a dam, beating down the smoke. The
top of the chimney should be at least three (3) feet
above the roof and be at least two (2) feet higher
than any point of the roof within ten (10) feet.
NOTE: A DRAFT READING OF 0.05 TO 0.06
W.C. (WATER COLUMN) IS SUGGESTED FOR
PROPER BURNING OF THIS STOVE.
GLASS CARE
The following usage and safety tips should be
observed:
1. Inspect the glass regularly for cracks and breaks.
If you detect a crack or break, extinguish the fire
immediately and contact the manufacturer for a
replacement.
2. Do not slam the door or otherwise impact the glass.
When closing doors, make sure that logs or other
objects do not protrude to impact the glass.
3. Do not build fires against (or that might fall against)
the glass.
4. Do not clean the glass with materials that may
scratch (or otherwise damage) the glass. Scratches
on the glass can develop into cracks or breaks dur-
ing operation.
5. Never attempt to clean the glass while the unit is
hot. If deposits are not very heavy, normal glass
cleaners are adequate using a soft, non-abrasive
cleaning pad. Heavier deposits may be removed
with oven cleaners.
6. Never put substances which can ignite explosively
in the unit. Even small explosions in confined areas
can blow out the glass.
GLASS REPLACEMENT
CAUTION: REPLACE GLASS ONLY WITH 5MM
HIGHTEMPERATURE CERAMIC GLASS OFTHE
PROPER SIZE. DO NOT USETEMPERED GLASS

FLOOR PROTECTOR MATERIAL CALCULATIONS
This stove has been tested for and must be installed on a floor protector with the proper Thermal Resistance or R-value
as stated in the installation instructions on page 3, “Locating Stove” step 1, of this manual. If the floor protector materials
listed in the instructions are not available, materials with an equivalent R-value may be substituted.
Alternate materials may be rated with C-factor (Thermal Conductance) or k-factor (Thermal Conductivity) ratings
which must be converted to R-value to determine if the alternate material meets the tested requirements. The following
instructions provide the proper information and formulas for conversion to R-value.
To determine if alternate materials are acceptable follow this sequence.
1. Convert material specifications to R-value:
a. R-value given — no conversion necessary
b. k-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches:
R = 1/k x T
c. C-factor is given: R = 1/C
2. Determine the R-value of proposed alternate floor protector:
a. Use formulas in step 1 above to calculate R-value of proposed material(s).
b. For multiple layers, add R-values of each layer to determine overall R-value.
3. If the overall R-value of the floor protector system is equal to or greater than the floor protector specifications given,
the alternate is acceptable.
Definitions:
Thermal conductance(C) = BTU =W
(hr)(ft2)(°F) (m2)(°K)
Thermal conductivity (k) = (Btu)(inch) =W =Btu
(hr)(ft2)(°F) (m)(°K) (hr)(ft)(°F)
Thermal resistance (R) = (ft2)(hr)(°F) =(m2)(°K)
Btu W
Example:
The specs of floor protector material should be 3/4-inch thick material with a k-factor of 0.84.
The proposed alternative material is 4” brick with a C-factor of 1.25 over 1/8-inch mineral board
with a k-factor of 0.29.
Step 1: Convert specs to R-value.
R = 1/k x T = 1/0.84 x 0.75 = 0.893 System must have a R-value of 0.893 = Rspecs
Step 2: Calculate R-value of individual components
4” Brick with C-factor = 1.25. R = 1/C = 1/1.25 = 0.80 = Rbrick
1/8-inch (0.125”) mineral board with k-factor = 0.29. R = 1/0.29 x 0.125 = 0.431 = Rmin.brd.
Step 3: Add R-values of components to get total R-value of system
Rbrick + Rmin.brd = 0.80 + 0.431 = 1.231 = Rsystem
Step 4: Compare Rsystem to Rspecs
Rsystem = 1.231 is larger than Rspecs of 0.893. System R-value exceeds the required
specifications and therefore is an acceptable alternative.
