Need to know model #

[Sooaar]

Hey everyone! Just bought a wood stove and I'm not sure which model it is because it's not checked off on the back. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Just guessing, maybe a Haugh S128? You're not the first one with this problem. They must have used disappearing ink on these tags. You could try contacting Century:

Thanks! It's a pretty small stove though so I thought it would be one with lesser clearance requirements. It's approx 22.5" wide and 20" deep

 

[Sooaar]

Also, that list is spacing from combustible materials, correct? I'm placing it where the wall is cement board with ceramic tile on top

 

[Owen1508]

The measurement is taken from the closest point on the stove to the first combustable material

 

[Sooaar]

What if the wall is tiled though?

 

[begreen]

It's what is behind the cement board that is important. Is it directly attached to wood studs or is it mounted on 1" spacers off the wall?

 

[Sooaar]

It's studs, cement board and then tile

 

[Sooaar]

Is there any way around this problem then? Some kind of hard wall skirt that could be placed around the sides to reduce the distances from the walls?

Then the studs are the nearest combustible. There is no clearance reduction for the cement board and tile unless there is an approved wall shield. That would reduce the clearance down to 12". Post a picture of the proposed stove location and we can see if there are any other issues.

PS: Is this install going to be inspected and approved by your insurance company?

I have to take all the measurements this weekend. It's for a cottage.

 

[bholler]

wow that's close to the cabinet to

 

[Sooaar]

Yea. There's been a stove there for 60 years

 

[bholler]

That doesn't make it ok. you will need to check the clearances it might make it.

 

[Sooaar]

Yea I know, but I have no official numbers

 

[bholler]

Well to i cant help you with which model i am sorry but looking at that tag the smallest side clearance is 14" which it looks like you will not make there but i cant tell for sure

 

[Sooaar]

Yea I hear ya. Thanks though

After 60 yrs the odds of pyrolysis being an issue go up. We can't tell you what condition the wood is in just by looking, but those clearances are definitely not inspectable or insurable by current standards.

 

[Sooaar]

Well I looked into the approved wall board says it can drop clearances 66%. But a minimum of 12". That being said, I think I can get a foot from the wall and the cupboard with that siding. Will that not be acceptable at that point?

 

[bholler]

If you can get a foot With a proper shield you should be ok

 

[Sooaar]

I'm also gonna buy double lined pipe. I wanna take all the right steps but I'm new to this. It's an old family cottage and I'm trying to bring this area up to code

Yes, that would work for the back wall and side. The wall shield can be simple or elaborate. Simple would be just using sheet metal (following the same rules) or raw cement board. Fancy would be a stone veneer or the like. The main thing is to have a good flow of air behind the shield at all times by having it open at the bottom and top.

Good plan with the double-wall.

 

[bholler]

i think you might have a problem with that door it looks like there is just not enough room in that space but again i cant tell for sure

I'm guess those are 12" tiles behind the stove? Hope so, it looks like the stove will just squeak in there with wall shields. Otherwise I would look at a new stove with closer clearances like the Lopi Endeavor, Quadrafire 2100, PE Vista, or Napoleon 1100. They will burn less wood, burn cleaner and will not need shields.
