1 This value can vary depending on how the stove is  
operated, the type and moisture content of the fuel  
used, as well as the design, construction and climatic  
location of your home. Figures shown are based on  
maximum fuel consumption obtained under laboratory  
conditions and on average efficiencies.  
2 These values are based on operation in building code-  
conforming homes under typical winter climate condi-  
tions in New England. If your home is of nonstandard  
construction (i.e., unusually well insulated, not insu-  
lated, built under ground, etc.) or if you live in a more  
severe or more temperate climate, these figures may  
not apply. Since so many variables affect performance,  
consult your Vermont Castings authorized dealer to  
determine realistic expectations for your home.

SAFETY NOTICE: IF YOUR STOVE IS NOT PROP-  
ERLY INSTALLED, OPERATED AND MAINTAINED,  
A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. FOR SAFETY,  
FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND  
MAINTENANCE DIRECTIONS. CONTACT LOCAL  
BUILDING OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRICTIONS AND  
INSTALLATION INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS IN  
YOUR AREA.  
Chimneys  
Your stove must be connected either to a sound  
masonry chimney that meets local codes, to a relined  
masonry chimney that meets local codes, or to an  
approved prefabricated metal chimney. Whichever of  
those types you use, the chimney and chimney con-  
nector must be in good condition and kept clean.  
Before you begin an installation, review your plans to  
be certain that:  
If you use an existing masonry chimney, it must be  
inspected to ensure safe condition before the stove is  
installed. Your local professional chimney sweep,  
building inspector, or fire department official will be  
able to make the inspection or direct you to someone  
who can.  
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  
constructed properly to meet all requirements.  
You have all necessary permits from local  
authorities.  
The chimney should extend at least 3' (914mm) above  
the highest point where it passes through a roof, and at  
least 2' (610mm) higher than any portion of a building  
within 10' (3m).  
Your local building official is the final authority for  
approving your installation as safe and determining  
that it meets local and state codes.  
To assure proper draft and good performance, any  
chimney used with this stove should extend at least 16'  
(5 m) above the flue collar of the stove.  
The metal label permanently attached to the back of  
the stove indicates that the Seville has been tested to  
current UL and ULC standards by Intertek Testing  
Services of Middleton, Wisconsin. Clearance and  
installation information is also printed on the label.  
Local authorities generally will accept the label as  
evidence that, when the stove is installed according to  
the information on the label and in this manual, the  
installation meets codes and can be approved. Codes,  
however, vary in different areas. Before starting the  
installation, review your plans with the local building  
authority. Your local dealer can provide any additional  
information needed.

Masonry Chimneys  
For any unresolved questions about installation, refer  
to the National Fire Protection Association’s publication  
ANSI/NFPA 211–1988 Standard for Chimneys, Fire-  
places, Vents and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances. In  
Canada, the equivalent publication is CSA CAN-B365,  
Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burning Appliances and  
Equipment. These standards are the bases 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.  
An existing masonry chimney must be inspected to  
confirm that it has a lining. Do not use an unlined  
chimney. The chimney also should be examined for  
cracks, loose mortar, other signs of deterioration, and  
blockage. Repair any defects before the chimney is  
used with your stove.

Chimney Connector Guidelines  
• Unused openings in an existing masonry chimney  
must be sealed with masonry to the thickness of the  
chimney wall, and the chimney liner should be  
repaired. Openings sealed with pie plates or  
wallpaper are a hazard and should be sealed with  
mortar or refractory cement. In the event of a  
chimney fire, flames and smoke may be forced out  
of these unused thimbles.  
A chimney connector is the double-wall or single-wall  
pipe that connects the stove to the chimney. The  
chimney itself is a masonry or prefabricated structure  
that encloses the flue. Chimney connectors are used  
only to make the connection from the stove to the  
chimney. They are for interior use only.  
Double-wall connectors must be tested and listed for  
use with solid-fuel burning appliances. Single-wall  
connectors should be made of 24 gauge or heavier  
steel, and should be 6" (152mm) in diameter. Do not  
use galvanized chimney connector; it cannot withstand  
the high temperatures that can be reached by smoke  
and exhaust gases, and may release toxic fumes  
under high heat.  
• The chimney should be thoroughly cleaned before use.  
• A newly-built masonry chimney must conform to the  
standards of local building code, or, in the absence  
of a local code, to a recognized national code.  
Masonry chimneys must be lined, either with code-  
approved masonry or precast refractory tiles,  
stainless steel pipe, or a code-approved, "poured-in-  
place" liner. The chimney clean-out door must seal  
tightly to ensure a good draft.  
If possible, do not pass the chimney connector through  
a combustible wall or  
ceiling. If passage

(152mm). It may be vented into larger chimneys as  
well, however, chimneys with liners larger than 8" x  
12" (203 x 305mm) may experience rapid cooling of  
smoke and reduction in draft, especially if they are  
located outside the home. Such large chimneys may  
need to be insulated or relined for proper stove perfor-  
mance.

exposed and accessible for inspection and cleaning.  
Install the single wall chimney connector not less than  
18" (457mm) from the ceiling. Keep it as short and  
direct as possible, with no more than two 90 degree  
turns. If possible, use 45° elbows. Slope horizontal  
runs of connectors upward 1/4" per foot (20mm per  
meter) going from the stove toward the chimney. The  
recommended maximum length of a horizontal run is 3’  
(914mm), and the total length of chimney connector  
should be no longer than 8’ (2.4m).  
Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue  
serving another appliance.  
NOTE: Do not vent this stove into a factory-built  
(zero-clearance) fireplace. This stove has not  
been tested and listed for that type of installa-  
tion. Factory-built fireplaces and their chim-  
neys are specifically designed as a unit for use  
as fireplaces. It may void the listing or be  
hazardous to adapt them for any other use.  
In cathedral ceiling installations, extend the prefabri-  
cated chimney downward to within 8’ (2.4m) of the  
stove.

Vermont Castings Seville  
Securing the Single-wall Connector to a  
Prefabricated Chimney  
Double-wall Chimney Connectors  
The Seville is approved for installation in the U.S. and  
Canada with double-wall chimney connectors that have  
been tested and listed for use with solid-fuel burning  
appliances by a recognized testing laboratory.  
Follow the installation instructions of the chimney  
manufacturer exactly.  
Special adapters are available from your local dealer to  
make the connection between the prefabricated  
chimney and the chimney connector. The top of such  
adapters attach directly to the chimney or to the  
chimney’s ceiling support package. The bottom of the  
adapter is secured to the chimney connector.  
Follow the instructions for assembling and installing  
double-wall connectors provided by the manufacturer  
of the double-wall chimney. To ease assembly and  
help assure safety, use chimney components manufac-  
tured by a single source.  
NOTE: For installations using double-wall  
connectors, minimum clearances must conform to  
those listed in the clearance chart on Page 12.  
The adapter forms a union between the chimney and  
chimney connector that ensures any soot or creosote  
falling from the inner walls of the chimney will stay  
inside the chimney connector.  
Single-wall Chimney Connectors  
Securing the Single-wall Connector to a  
Masonry Chimney  
Beginning at the flue collar of the stove, assemble  
the chimney connector. Insert the first crimped end  
into the stove’s flue collar, and keep each crimped  
end pointing toward the stove. Using the holes in  
the flue collar as guides, drill 1/8" (3 mm) holes in  
the bottom of the first section of chimney connector  
and secure it to the flue collar with three #10 x 1/2"  
sheet metal screws.  
Secure each joint between sections of chimney  
connector, including telescoping joints, with at least  
three sheet metal screws. The predrilled holes in  
the top of each section of chimney connector serve  
as guides when you drill 1/8" (3 mm) holes in the  
bottom of the next section.  
The Seville may be connected to either a freestanding  
masonry chimney or to a fireplace masonry chimney.  
Freestanding Installations  
If the chimney connector must pass through a combus-  
tible wall to reach the chimney, follow the recommen-  
dations for Wall Pass-Through construction on Pages  
7-8.  
The opening through the chimney wall to the flue - the  
"breech" – must be lined with a ceramic or metal thimble  
which is securely cemented in place. (Fig. 5)  
A metal pipe section called the “thimble sleeve,”  
slightly smaller in diameter than standard connector  
and the thimbles, will allow the removal of the chimney  
connector system for inspection and cleaning. Thimble  
sleeves are available from your local dealer.  
Secure the chimney connector to the chimney.  
Instructions for various installations follow.  
Be sure the installed stove and chimney connector are  
correct distances from nearby combustible material.  
To install a thimble sleeve, slide it into the breech until  
it is flush with the inner flue wall. Be sure that it does  
not extend into the flue passage where it could inter-  
fere with the draft.  
NOTE: Special slip pipes and thimble sleeves that form  
telescoping joints between sections of chimney con-  
nector are available to simplify assembly. Slip pipes  
eliminate the need to cut individual connector sections.  
Consult your local dealer about these special connec-  
tor sections.  
The thimble sleeve should protrude 1-2" (25-51mm)  
into the room. Use furnace cement and thin gasketing  
to seal the sleeve in place in the thimble. Secure the  
chimney connector to the outer end of the sleeve with  
sheet metal screws.

Connection Above the Fireplace  
In this installation, the chimney connector enters the  
fireplace flue though a thimble located above the  
fireplace. (Fig. 6) The liner of the fireplace chimney  
should extend at least to the point at which the chim-  
ney connector enters the chimney. Follow all the  
guidelines for installing a chimney connector into a  
freestanding masonry chimney, and pay special  
attention to these additional points:  
The stove and chimney connector clearances to  
combustible mantel and trim materials are the same  
as clearances to combustible walls. If necessary,  
use a combination of mantel, trim, and connector  
heat shields to provide the required clearances.

Wall Pass-throughs  
Whenever possible, design the installation so that the  
connector does not pass through a combustible wall. If  
you must include a wall pass-through in your installa-  
tion, check with your building inspector before you  
begin. Also check with the chimney connector manu-  
facturer for any specific requirements.  
Consult with your dealer regarding special connection

Keep in mind that many raised hearths will extend less  
than the required clearance from the front of the heater  
when it is installed. In such cases, sufficient floor  
protection as described above must be added in front  
of the hearth to satisfy the minimum floor protector  
requirement from the front of the stove: 16" (406mm)  
from the front in the United States and 18" (457mm)  
from the front in Canada.  
Floor Protection  
A tremendous amount of heat radiates from the  
bottom plate of your Madison. The floor area directly  
under and around the stove will require protection from  
radiant heat as well as from stray sparks or embers  
that may escape the firebox.  
Heat protection is provided through the use of a  
Vermont Castings Bottom Heat Shield #1889. Spark  
and ember protection must be provided by a floor  
protector constructed with noncombustible material as  
specified.  
Hearth rugs do not satisfy the requirements for floor  
protection as they are only fire-retardant, not fire proof.  
Floor Protection Requirements  
Most installations will require that the bottom heat  
shield be attached. Only when the stove is placed on a  
completely noncombustible surface such as unpainted  
concrete over earth may it be used without the heat shield.  
A
Even when the bottom heat shield is installed, you  
must provide special protection to the floor beneath.  
For installations with the heat shield attached, use a  
noncombustible floor protector such as 1/4” non-  
asbestos mineral board or equivalent, or 24 gauge  
sheet metal. The floor protector may be covered with a  
noncombustible decorative material if desired. Do not  
obstruct the space under the heater.  
A
A
D

Protection requirements vary somewhat between the  
United States and Canada as follows:  
For U.S. installations the floor protector is required  
under the stove and must extend at least 16” from the  
front of the stove (“B”, Fig. 12), and at least 6” from the  
sides and rear (“A”, Fig. 12).  
U. S.  
Canada

D: 50”  
8" (203mm)  
18” (457mm)  
40” (1016mm)  
54” (1372mm)  
To meet these requirements, a floor protector must be  
at least 36” wide (“C”,Fig. 12) and 50” deep (“D”,Fig.  
12)  
ST482  
Fig. 12 These dimensions are minimum requirements only.  
Use greater dimensions whenever possible.  
In Canada, a noncombustible floor protector is re-  
quired under the heater also. The floor protector must  
extend 18” (457mm) to the front (“B”, Fig. 12), and 8”  
(203mm) from the sides and rear (“A”, Fig. 12).  
To meet these requirements, a floor protector must be  
at least 40” (1016mm) wide (“C”,Fig. 12) and 54”  
(1372mm) deep (“D”, Fig. 12).  
Fireplace Hearth Protection  
Do not assume that your fireplace hearth is completely  
noncombustible. Many fireplace hearths do not satisfy  
the “completely noncombustible” requirement because  
the brick or concrete in front of the fireplace opening is  
supported by heavy wood framing. (Fig. 13) Because  
heat is readily conducted by brick or concrete, it can  
easily pass through to the wood. As a result, such  
fireplace hearths can be a fire hazard and are consid-  
ered a combustible floor.  
Wood framing  
requires protection  
from radiant heat  
ST247  
Fig. 13 Supporting timbers under fireplace hearths are  
considered to be combustible.  
For all fireplace installations, follow the floor protection  
guidelines described previously.

Wall Shields  
Clearance to Surrounding  
Combustible Materials  
Wall shields should be constructed of 24 gauge or  
heavier sheet metal, or another noncombustible  
material such as 1/2" (13mm) insulation board (Fig. 14)  
or common brick "laid on flat," with the 3¹⁄₂" (90mm)  
side down.  
When the stove is operating, both the stoveplate and  
the chimney connector radiate heat in all directions. A  
safe installation requires that adequate clearance be  
maintained between the stove and nearby combustible  
materials to ensure that those materials do not  
overheat.  
Shields must be spaced out from the combustible  
surface 1" (25mm) on noncombustible spacers. The  
spacers should not be directly behind the stove or  
chimney connector.  
Clearance is the distance between either your stove or  
chimney connector, and nearby walls, floors, the  
ceiling, and any other fixed combustible surface. Keep  
furnishings and other combustible materials away  
from the stove as well. In general, a distance of 48"  
(1220 mm) must be maintained between the stove and  
moveable combustible items such as drying clothes,  
furniture, newspapers, firewood, etc. Keep this area  
empty of any combustible material.  
Air must be able to flow between the wall and the  
shield. At least 50% of the bottom 1" (25mm) of the  
shield should be open and the shield must be open at  
the top.  
Air flow  
Safe Ways To Reduce Clearances  
The Seville clearance requirements, listed and  
diagramed on Pages 12-13, have been established  
through testing to UL and ULC standards to meet most  
installation configurations. These involve four basic  
variables:  
Wall shield  
Stud wall  
framing  
Noncombustible  
spacers and  
fasteners  
Shield  
When neither the chimney connector nor the wall  
has a heat shield installed.  
Metal Spacer  
Drywall  
When only the chimney connector has a heat  
shield installed.  
When only the wall has a heat shield mounted on it.  
When a heat shield is installed on both the  
chimney connector and wall.  
Air flow  
ST248  
In general, the greatest clearance is required when the  
stove will be positioned with no heat shield near a wall  
with no heat shield. The least clearance is required  
when both the stove and the wall have heat shields.  
Reducing a stove clearance may require installation of  
a listed heat shield on the chimney connector as well.

The following examples of wall shield construction  
illustrate common designs used to safely achieve  
reduced clearances to combustible wall materials.  
Parallel installation, vertical chimney connector,  
two wall shields. Fig. 15: Reduced clearances for  
both rear and side walls. Wall shields may meet at

by the regulatory authority, or in accordance with the  
clearances listed in this manual.

Seville 1635 Clearance Chart  
Use the chart below together with the diagrams on the next page to determine the minimum clearance required for  
your particular installation. In any case, it is always advisable to locate the stove as far away from walls as pos-  
sible in order to take full advantage of the radiant properties of cast iron.  
Stove clearances are measured between the steel rear shroud and the combustible surface.  
Chimney Connector clearances are measured between the connector surface and the combustible surface. For  
Douible-wall Chimney Connector, use the manufacturer’s listed clearance specification.  
Use NFPA 211 default clearance or manufacturer’s installation specifications for those configurations not tested.
