Floor Protection - Osburn 2500 Manuel D'installation

Floor Protection

The floor protection must be a continuous (grouted joints) non combustible material such as ceramic
tile, cement board, brick, or any other approved or listed material suited for floor protection. Any type
of tile will require a continuous non combustible sheet beneath to prevent the possibility of embers
falling through to the combustible floor if cracks or separation should occur in the finished surface.
Check local codes for approved alternatives.

Corner floor protection
Note: In Canada, the dimensions of the floor protection shown in the previous image can be used ONLY if
opening the appliance door or removing the ash drawer is done when the appliance is OFF completely, meaning
there is no more fire in the combustion pot and the blowers are off. In all other cases, see CSA B365.
