SAFETY NOTICE:  IF YOUR STOVE IS NOT PROP-
ERLY INSTALLED,  A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT.  
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, FOLLOW THE 
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.  CONTACT LOCAL 
BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRIC-
TIONS AND INSTALLATION INSPECTION REQUIRE-
MENTS IN YOUR AREA.
Before you begin an installation, review your plans to 
see that:

•  Your stove and chimney connector will be far 

enough from combustible material to meet all 
clearance requirements.

•  The floor protector is large enough and is con-

structed properly to meet all requirements.

•  You have all necessary permits from local author-

ities.

Your local building official is the final authority for ap-
proving your installation as safe and determining that it 
meets local and state codes.
The metal label permanently attached to the back of 
every Vermont Castings stove indicates that the stove 
has been tested to current ULC standards, and gives 
the name of the testing laboratory.  Clearance and in-
stallation information also is printed on the label.  When 
the stove is installed according to the information both 
on the label and in this manual, local authorities in most 
cases will accept the label as evidence that the installa-
tion meets codes and can be approved.
However, codes vary in different areas.  Before starting 
the installation, review your plans with the local building 
authority.  You local dealer can provide any additional 
information needed.
For any unresolved installation issues, refer to CSA 
CAN-B365 Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burning 
Appliances and Equipment.  These standards are the 
basis for many national codes.  They are nationally 
recognized and are accepted by most local authorities.  
Your local dealer or your local building official may have 
a copy of these regulations.  
IMPORTANT:  FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE IN-
STALLATION INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN A 
DANGEROUS SITUATION, INCLUDING A CHIMNEY 
OR HOUSE FIRE.  FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS 
EXACTLY, AND DO NOT ALLOW MAKESHIFT COM-
PROMISES TO ENDANGER PROPERTY AND PER-
SONAL SAFETY.

In some modern, super-insulated homes, there is not 
enough air for combustion because of insufficient air 
infiltration into the building.  Such air enters a home 
through unsealed cracks and openings.  Kitchen or bath 
exhaust fans can compete with the stove for available 
air and compound the problem.
When poor draft is caused by a low infiltration rate, 
opening a ground floor window on the windward side 
of the house and in the vicinity of the stove will usually 
alleviate the problem.
Another solution is to install a permanent outside air 
supply to the stove and/or room.  In some areas, in 
fact, bringing air for combustion from outside the home 
directly to the air inlet of the stove is required for new 
construction.  
An outside air supply is not affected by pressure varia-
tions within the house, and improved stove perfor-
mance often results.  An Outside Air Adapter Kit #33258 
for the Intrepid II is available from your local Vermont 
Castings dealer. 

Your Intrepid Multi-fuel must be connected to a code-
approved masonry chimney with a flue liner, to a 
relined masonry chimney that meets local codes, or to 
a prefabricated metal chimney that complies with the 
requirements for Type HT chimneys in the Standard for 
Chimneys, Factory-Built, Residential Type and Building 
Heating Appliance, UL 103, or the High Temperature 
(650°C) Standard ULC S-629 for Canada.  Whatever 
kind you use, the chimney and chimney connector must 
be in good condition and kept clean. Figure 2 shows the 
two chimney types.
