my floor is getting HOT

[kevinmerchant]

My floor pad sits on a wood floor and the wood floor around the pad gets up to 130 deg. at peek burn. Its usually around 100 - 115. What is an acceptable temp.
Thanks

look in the second paragraph under "what is a clearance?"

 

[offroadaudio]

The benchmark temperature, which determines safe clearances, is typically 115 degrees F over the ambient room temperature. In other words, if the ambient room temperature is 70F, the benchmark wall temperature cannot exceed 185F. If temperatures exceed 185F, the stove must be located further away from the wall.

Better rule of thumb: If you think the floor is too hot, it is. Fix it!

I cant find the article in your link. Is that what the article says, 115 over the room temp?

I went to the link you provided, but didn't see any discussion of clearances.

The benchmark temperature, which determines safe clearances, is typically 115 degrees F over the ambient room temperature. In other words, if the ambient room temperature is 70F, the benchmark wall temperature cannot exceed 185F. If temperatures exceed 185F, the stove must be located further away from the wall. That is why movable walls on tracks are used. If the temperatures exceed 185F, the walls are moved back until the temperatures recorded are less than 185F. In a nutshell, the stove is run through the complete test, the temperatures are recorded, and safe clearances are established.

sorry about the confusion....i should have posted it this way the very first time.
