The 25-EPI requires a non-combustible hearth if the current hearth of the fireplace
does not extend the required distance from the front of stove. Follow the diagram
below to determine if the current fireplace hearth is sufficient.
If the current fireplace hearth is not large enough to accommodate this insert, a hearth
extension pad (which is designed and sold specifically for this purpose) can be used.
A hearth extension pad should be U.L. listed or equivalent (U.L.C. if Canada), and
must only be noncombustible. Since the majority of the radiant heat from this unit is
projected forward, the hearth extension pad only serves to keep ashes and sparks from
landing on combustible flooring near the unit. A hearth rug is NOT an approved
substitute for a proper hearth extension pad.
