Is it considered an "alcove" if two shallow walls (separated 7') are constructed to a full floor to ceiling height?
By that response, it sounds like you did not provide a description or they didn't pay attention to your description and that they are going with the definition of an alcove having a reduced ceiling height. Provide them with detailed measured drawings and see what they come back with.SIERRADMAX said:I just received a letter from Harman stating it is not approved for alcove installations and was only tested to UL standards with 8' ceiling height.
SIERRADMAX said:I haven't paid much attention to the overall width. I just did a "dry-lay" of the stove and measured off each side of the stove. After doing some math, I have 74", a little more than 6' to be exact.
I really wish Harman would have posted "Not for Alcove Installation" in their manual.
I have been in contact with one of our engineers and have shown him your proposed installation. It appears that you are following the NFPA 211 Guidelines. As long as you abide by the guidelines in NFPA 211 this proposed installation is acceptable.
