The Stûv 16-Z is a zero-clearance wood-burning fireplace (factory-built) that integrates into a combustible wall while offering the large fire view characteristic of the Stûv 16 range. Thanks to the SBR automatic control, natural convection and efficient air wash, it combines ease of use, clean glass and EPA-certified performance. Three sizes — 16-58 Z, 16-68 Z, 16-78 Z — cover heating needs from 1,400 to 2,100 sq ft (depending on insulation and configuration).
Zero-clearance: insulated shell designed for combustible materials; ideal for new construction or renovation.
Simplified operation: SBR (Single Burn Rate), no air damper to manage; removable handle for a clean façade.
High-performance combustion: secondary combustion, low emission rate, air-washed glass for a clear view of the flames.
Outside air ready: Ø 4″ connection (kit and damper available).
Finishes: Thin Edge (4 mm) and Picture 2″ / 4″ / 6″ frames (StûvGrey); custom 3-sided frames.
Canada: the 16-78 Z models are available in Canada.
Maximum output: 65,000 / 82,000 / 86,000 BTU/h (58 / 68 / 78).
EPA output: 27,015 / 24,818 / 28,765 BTU/h.
Nominal output: 46,000 / 50,000 / 58,000 BTU/h.
Efficiency (EPA): 70.3% / 61.6% / 66.6%.
Emissions: 1.47 / 1.94 / 3.1 g/h.
Heating area: 1,400 / 1,650 / 2,100 sq ft.
Firebox volumes: 1.6 / 2.0 / 2.2 cu ft.
Logs: 17″ / 21″ / 25″.
Glass (W×H): 17 5/8″ / 21 9/16″ / 25 1/2″ × 16 9/16″.
Type: zero-clearance built-in wood-burning fireplace.
Venting: Ø 6″ (Ø 7″ option) chimney, listed UL-103HT / ULC-S629; 7″ adapter recommended for chimneys < 18′.
Outside air intake: Ø 4″ (recommended for airtight homes).
Standards & certifications: UL 127 / ULC S610 (factory-built fireplaces), EPA 2020 (16-58 Z & 16-68 Z; 16-78 Z per most recent publication), CSA B415.1.
Code (QC): installation by qualified contractor per CSA B365, with strict compliance to prescribed clearances, facings and convection grilles.
Annual: chimney sweeping, inspection of gaskets and baffles, verification of flue and air intake.
Daily: burn dry wood (≤ 20% moisture) to maintain efficiency and glass cleanliness.
Warranty: per Stûv policy; wear parts covered per terms.

Stûv 16-Z: zero-clearance wood-burning fireplace with SBR, large glass, 65–86 kBTU, 1,400–2,100 sq ft, EPA 2020. Thin Edge / Picture 2″-4″-6″ frames, Ø 4″ air intake, Ø 6″/7″ chimney. CSA B365 installation.
Oui, lorsque l’installation respecte le manuel et la gestion de chaleur Cool Touch Wall, qui permet de réduire la chaleur en façade pour abaisser le téléviseur plus près du foyer. Les schémas de montage TV et exigences de rejets/chaleur sont détaillés par Flare; toujours suivre le manuel d’installation et la configuration de heat-release recommandée.
Le ST-45 est un foyer à évent direct (système coaxial scellé). La fiche technique liste un raccord 4×6 en configuration naturelle, et 3×5 avec power vent. Le manuel couvre les parcours, terminaisons horizontales/verticales et les dégagements au conduit. Un installateur qualifié doit valider le tracé sur place.
La puissance d’entrée maximale est de 36 000 BTU/h en gaz naturel (GN) et 28 000 BTU/h en propane (PL). Le fabricant annonce une efficacité jusqu’à 82 % (GN) / 83 % (PL). Les performances réelles varient selon la configuration, le réglage et la qualité d’évacuation.
Flare indique une certification CSA pour l’installation en Amérique du Nord. La garantie prévoit 18 mois sur l’électronique, 5 ans sur les vitrages (bris thermique) et 10 ans limités sur la boîte foyère et les brûleurs. Au Québec, l’installation du gaz doit respecter le Code CSA B149.1 et le manuel du fabricant.
