Ok, now that the class A is on the way and I will be installing it soon, I have a couple questions to make sure I am ready for and pass inspection.
First, what defines an alcove installation? There are floor to ceiling shelves on either side of my stove, but they are only about 16" deep and the stove is almost all the way past them, maybe 4 inches of the stove is within that envelope. This one I wonder because of the side load door. I have 18" exactly from the side of the stove to the shelves.
I'll need to extend my floor protection to pass, I need a minimum of 55"Wx50"D. Right now the stove sits on a brick hearth about 8 inches off the floor that is 48"Wx43"D. Eventually I am going to add tiles around the brick when I redo the floors. The floor right now is laminate. I was thinking of just putting down some plywood and throwing some leftover 12x12" tiles on it to make it removable. Seems like it'd be a lot cheaper than buying/cutting up hearth pad to fit there. Is this a reasonable idea?
My last issue is if I use single wall pipe, which is what I'd like to do, I'm clear most of the way as my brick runs up to within 6" of the ceiling. Then there is a decorative wood beam that runs across there. So if I drop my ceiling box from the class A kit down to clear this do I still need 18"? If so can I just get a piece of shield to go over the beam?
Are there any other requirements that I'm not thinking of? My chimney should be fine on the 10-3-2 rule. From my ceiling to the roof peak is 70" Add at least 2 for the ceiling box to drop down, maybe more depending on the q above. So that leaves me with 6 feet. I ordered 3 36" sections which should give me 341/2" x3 = 103.5" which minus the 72" is 31.5 over the roof peak. And since I'm closer to the low edge than the high, I'm figuring I'll have 5-6 feet of chimney out of the roof line. I did order the roof support bracket as well. So this should give me overall from the floor of the stove about a 15 and a half foot chimney. Will I be ok with this? Minimum is 14 feet. I hope this sucker drafts after all this work and money!!
