Have heard that the standard 16 in for floor thermal and or ember is no longer in effect, any one hear different?
I agree with this. Even if your stove of choice says 16", IMO, it's too little. I'm a careful burner, but I have a couple of small melted burns on my carpet. It usually happens when some split decides to spit an ember out which you can't really control. If I were to do it over, I'd do it with 18" at least, as Canada requires anyway. If the standard is changing, I think it would be a good thing.I think it is already 18" in Canada.
Hadn't heard anything about the US standard changing for new installs, but I got 22" on mine and wish I had more.
Where did you "hear" this info?Have heard that the standard 16 in for floor thermal and or ember is no longer in effect, any one hear different?

no the manual on a ul listed appliance overrides codeIn that case the stricter local code would apply over the manual.
