Timberwolf - Black Trivet, Required When Installing As Rear Vent - GS831K
The Timberwolf Black Trivet with the part number GS831K is an accessory that is required when installing a Timberwolf wood-burning stove as a rear vent installation. This trivet serves a specific purpose in the rear vent configuration:
-
Heat Shield and Support: When installing a wood-burning stove with a rear vent, a trivet like the GS831K is used to create a heat shield and provide support. The trivet is positioned on the rear of the stove and acts as a protective barrier between the stove and the wall or combustible materials behind it. It is designed to withstand the high temperatures generated during combustion and prevent the wall from getting too hot, which could be a fire hazard.
-
Air Gap: The trivet also creates an air gap between the stove and the wall, allowing for proper ventilation and heat dissipation. This prevents heat from directly radiating onto the wall and minimizes the risk of wall damage or fire.
-
Installation Compliance: In many building codes and installation guidelines, it's a requirement to use a heat shield or trivet when performing a rear vent installation. This is crucial for safety and compliance with local regulations.
