Wall Pass-Throughs - Jøtul F 3 USA Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

Chimney height
Whether a masonry chimney or prefabricated metal
chimney is used it must be the required height above
the roof line.
The requirement is:
The chimney must be at least 3 feet higher than the
highest point where it passes through the roof and at
least 2 feet higher than the highest part of the roof or
structure that is within 10 feet of the chimney, measured
horizontally. See figure 6.
Fig. 6
Chimneys shorter than 14 feet may not provide adequate
draft. This could result is smoke spilling into the room
from the stove when loading the stove, or when the door
is open. In addition, inadequate draft can cause back
puffing, which is a build up of gases inside the firebox.
Other times, chimney height can create excessive draft
which can cause high stove temperatures and short burn
times. Excessive drafts can be corrected by installing a
butterfly damper. If you suspect you have a draft
problem, consult your dealer.

Wall pass-throughs

When your installation unavoidably requires the
chimney connector to pass through a combustible wall
to reach the chimney, always consult your local building
officials, and be sure any materials to be used have been
tested and listed for wall pass-throughs.
In the U.S.
The national fire protection association's publication,
NFPA 211, standard for chimneys, fireplaces, vents and
solid fuel burning appliances permits four methods for
passing through a combustible wall. Before proceeding
with any method be sure to consult with your local
building officials to discuss any local code requirements.
Common method
When passing through a combustible wall to a masonry
chimney this method requires the removal of all
combustible materials from at least 12" around the
chimney connectors proposed location. With a 6" round
liner the minimum area required would be 31" x 31"
square.
The space is then filled with at least 12" of brick around a
fireclay liner. Remember, the liner must be ASTM C35 or
equivalent, with a minimum wall thickness of 5/8".
It is important to remember to locate the pass-through
at least 18" from the ceiling for proper clearance to
combustibles.
It will be necessary to cut wall studs, install headers, and
construct a sill frame to maintain the proper dimensions
and to support the weight of the brick.
The bricks must be solid brick with a minimum of 3 1/2"
thick (4" nominal).
Refractory mortar must be used at the junction of the
chimney and the pass-through liner. The pass-through
liner must not penetrate the chimney liner beyond the
inner surface of the chimney liner. Use extreme care
when constructing the hole in the chimney liner, the tiles
can shatter easily. See figure 7.

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.
