/ Field knowledge · IMC 904
A generic “pellet stove” is not 904.
IMC 904.1 is one sentence: listed and labeled in accordance with ASTM E1509 and installed in accordance with the terms of the listing. The code does not give generic installation dimensions here. Daily Code Talk #170.

- Identify manufacturer and model. A generic “pellet stove” note is the comment.
- Installation criteria come from the listing, not from a copied 905 hearth detail.
Schedule says “pellet stove,” no model, no ASTM E1509
Reviewer and contractor guessing the approved system.
What to send
Manufacturer, model, and the listing sheet.
If the schedule says “pellet stove” with no model
Send manufacturer, model, and the listing sheet. Masterbuild will say whether 904 still has no ASTM E1509 path — not whether the AHJ will accept a substitution.
