to the guidelines in this manual, your Seville will provide safe, dependable, and economical
heating for years to come.
The Seville Model 1635 series has been tested and is listed by Intertek
Testing Services/Warnock Hersey of Middleton, Wisconsin. The test
standards are ANSI/UL-1482 for the United States and ULC S627 and
CAN/CSA B366.2 for Canada.
The Seville Model 1635 is listed for burning wood fuel only. Do not burn other fuels.
The Seville Model 1635 complies with the standards set forth by the Federal Environmental
Protection Agency, 40 CFR Part 60.532(b)(2), as stated on the permanent label attached to
each stove. The Seville Model 1635 Series meets Washington State requirements.
We recommend that you hire a professional, solid-fuel stove technician to install your Seville,
or to advise you on the installation should you attempt to install it yourself. Consult the
authority having local jurisdiction (such as a municipal building department, fire department,
fire prevention bureau, etc.) before installation to determine the need for a building permit.
Also, consult your insurance agent to be sure your installation complies with specific
requirements that may vary locally.
In addition to directions on installation and operation, this manual includes directions on
maintenance and assembly. Please read this entire manual before you install or operate your

These values are based on operation in building codeconforming homes under typical winter climate conditions in New England. If your home is of nonstandard
construction (i.e., unusually well insulated, not insulated, 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 PROPERLY 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.
Before you begin an installation, review your plans to
be certain that:
• 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.
Your local building official is the final authority for
approving your installation as safe and determining
that it meets local and state codes.
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, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances
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.
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.
. In
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 connector must be in good condition and kept clean.
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.
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).
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.

Masonry Chimneys
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.

Masonry Chimneys, cont'd.
• 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.
• 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 codeapproved masonry or precast refractory tiles,
stainless steel pipe, or a code-approved, "poured-inplace" liner. The chimney clean-out door must seal
tightly to ensure a good draft.
Prefabricated Chimneys
A prefabricated metal chimney must be one that is
tested and listed for use with solid-fuel burning appliances to the High-Temperature (H.T.) Chimney Standard UL-103-1985 (2100° F.) for the United States, and
High Temperature (650°C) Standard ULC S-629 for
Canada.
Chimney Size
This Seville is approved for venting into a masonry
chimney with a nominal flue size of 8" x 8" (203 x
203mm), and into a round flue size of 8" (203mm) or 6"
(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 performance.
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 installation. Factory-built fireplaces and their chimneys 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.
Do not connect the stove to any air distribution
duct or system.
Chimney Connector Guidelines
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.
If possible, do not pass the chimney connector through
a combustible wall or
ceiling. If passage
through a combustible
wall is unavoidable,
refer to the recommendations in the section
following on Wall
Pass-throughs. Do not
pass the connector
through an attic, a
closet or any similar
concealed space. The
whole chimney connector should be
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).
In cathedral ceiling installations, extend the prefabricated chimney downward to within 8’ (2.4m) of the
stove.
SAFETY NOTE: Always wear gloves and protective
eyewear when drilling, cutting or joining chimney
connector sections .Chimney Connectors

Vermont Castings Seville
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 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 manufactured 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.
Single-wall Chimney Connectors
• 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.
• 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.
NOTE: Special slip pipes and thimble sleeves that form
telescoping joints between sections of chimney connector are available to simplify assembly. Slip pipes
eliminate the need to cut individual connector sections.
Consult your local dealer about these special connector sections.

Securing the Single-wall Connector to a
Prefabricated Chimney
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.
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.
Securing the Single-wall Connector to a
Masonry Chimney
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 combustible wall to reach the chimney, follow the recommendations 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.
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 interfere with the draft.
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 chimney 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.
• Double-check connector clearance to the ceiling.
• The fireplace damper must be closed and sealed to
prevent room air from being drawn up the flue which
could reduce performance. However, it must be
possible to reopen the damper to inspect or clean
the chimney.
• Floor protection requirements also apply to fireplace
installations.

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 installation, check with your building inspector before you
begin. Also check with the chimney connector manufacturer 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.
U.S. Requirements: The National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) has established guidelines for use
in the United States for passing chimney connectors
through combustible walls. Many building code
inspectors follow these guidelines.
Figure 7 shows one NFPA-approved method. All
combustible material in the wall is cut away to provide
12" (305mm) clearance to the connector. Brick and
mortar are used to enclose the clearance area.
Alternate methods approved by the NFPA:
• Using a section of double-wall chimney with a 9"
(229mm) clearance to combustibles. (Fig. 8)
• Placing a chimney connector pipe inside a steel
double-wall ventilated thimble, which is then separated from combustibles by 6" (152mm) of fiberglass insulating material. (Fig. 9)

• Placing a chimney connector pipe inside a section
of 9" (229mm) diameter, solid-insulated, factory-built
chimney, with two inches of air space between the
chimney section and combustibles. (Fig. 10)
Canadian Requirements:In Canada, the Canadian
Standards Association has established specific
guidelines regarding wall pass-though design. Figure
11 shows one approved method in which all
combustible material in the wall is cut away to provide
the required 18" (457mm) clearance around the
connector. The resulting space must remain empty. A
flush-mounted sheet metal cover may be used
side only. If covers must be used on both sides, each
cover must be mounted on noncombustible spacers at
least 1" (25mm) clear of the wall. Your local dealer or
your local building inspector can provide details of
other approved methods of passing a chimney
connector through a combustible wall.
In Canada, this type of installation must conform to
CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid Fuel
Burning Appliances and Equipment.

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.
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.
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” nonasbestos 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.
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).
To meet these requirements, a floor protector must be
at least 36” wide (“C”,Fig. 12) and 50” deep (“D”,Fig.
12)
In Canada, a noncombustible floor protector is required 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).
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.
Hearth rugs do not satisfy the requirements for floor
protection as they are only fire-retardant, not fire proof.

ST482
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 considered a combustible floor.
For all fireplace installations, follow the floor protection
guidelines described previously.
