In Canada
In Canada the standard has been established by the
canadian standard association. The installation must
conform to CAN/CSA-B365, installation code for solid fuel
burning appliances and equipment. Before proceeding be
sure to consult your local building inspector.
Common method
This method requires the removal of all combustible
materials from at least 18" (457mm) around the chimney
connector's proposed location. With a 6" round liner the
minimum area required would be 43" x 43" square.
It is important to remember to locate the pass-through at
least 25" from the ceiling to maintain the proper clearance
to combustibles.
The space that is cleared of combustible materials must
then remain empty. Sheet metal panels can then be
used to cover the area. However, when using a panel on
both sides of the wall each cover must be installed on
noncombustible spacers at least 1" from the wall. If one
panel of sheet metal is to be used it may be installed flush
to the wall.
See section 5.3.1 and 5.3.2 of CAN/CSA - B365-m91.
Consult your local building inspector, authorized Jøtul
Dealer, NFPA 211 in the U.S. or CAN/CSA-B635 in Canada
for other approved wall pass-through methods.

Flue Liner
Masonry chimney
When installing a Jøtul F 3 into a masonry chimney through
a "thimble"(the opening through the chimney wall to the
flue), the thimble must be lined with ceramic tile or metal
and be securely cemented in place.
The chimney connector/stove pipe must slide completely
inside the thimble to the inner surface or the flue liner. It
may be necessary to make use of a thimble sleeve (a pipe
with a slightly smaller diameter than standard stove pipe).
This special pipe can be easily installed into a thimble. See
Figure 8.

Thimble
Make sure the connector pipe or thimble sleeve does not
protrude into the flue liner, thereby restricting the area the
smoke has to flow through. This bottle-neck will have a
negative affect on the chimney system.
The chimney connector should be sealed at the thimble
with refractory cement and the stove pipe leading to the
stove should have a minimum of three screws.
Do not connect this stove to a chimney flue servicing
another appliance of any kind.
Hearth-mount into a masonry fireplace
The Jøtul F 3 may be installed into a masonry fireplace
provided the opening is a minimum of 28 1/2" high. The
short leg package reduces the stove's height by 2 1/4".
When installing the Jøtul F 3 into a masonry fireplace,
code requires that the fireplace damper plate be removed
or securely fixed in the open position. A connector pipe
must then extend from the stove's flue exit through the
damper area of the fireplace and into the chimney tile
liner. See figure 9.
