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.

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.

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.

wall insulated chimney
IMPORTANT: Failure to follow these installation
instructions may result in a dangerous situation,
including a chimney or house fire. Follow all
instructions exactly and do not allow makeshift
compromises to endanger property and personal
safety.

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

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.

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.
Refer to Page 12.

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
components available for use as wall pass-throughs.
Use only parts that have been tested and listed for use
as a wall pass-through.

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
B
C
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).

C: 36”
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

from radiant heat
ST247
Fig. 13 Supporting timbers under fireplace hearths are

For all fireplace installations, follow the floor protection
guidelines described previously.

Vermont Castings Seville
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.
Fig. 14 Approved Wall shield construction
The following examples of wall shield construction
illustrate common designs used to safely achieve
reduced clearances to combustible wall materials.

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.
