RE: Courtesy Inspection at 1857 I Street, Springfield, Oregon
Dear Mr. Dixon:
At the request of the tenant, Steve Knapp, I conducted a Courtesy Inspection
of the wood stove at the above referenced address. The following items do
not meet the minimum standards of the Mechanical Specialty Code and Fire
and Life Safety Code and are considered potentially hazardous.
1. The hearth must extend 18" in front of the stove to protect the floor
covering from sparks.
2. The minimum clearance from the stove to any combustible material is 36".
The curtains and wood trim on the window next to the stove do not have
these minimum clearances.
3. The joints in the single wall stove pipe must be secured with a mlnlmum
of 3 sheet metal screws per joint. This will keep the pipe from pulling
apart should a flue fire occur.
4. The tenant reported that the wood stove smoked excessively. This could
be caused by a chimney that is either full of soot or of inadequate
height to provide a proper draft.
5. I could not gain access to the attic to verify proper clearances of the
chimney. Most manufactured chimneys required a 2" clearance from any-
thing that is flammable.
For safety reasons, the wood stove must be installed safely or removed al-
together. As you address these problems keep in mind that a permit is re-
quired for the installation of a wood stove and an inspection by the Build-
ing Safety Division must be made to verify a safe installation.
