Prefabricated Chimney; Clearances; Floor Requirements - Jøtul F 3 USA Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

If the chimney liner is too large to accommodate the
stove, an approved relining system must be installed to
resize the flue.
A new sheet metal damper block-off plate must be
installed around the connector pipe at the damper frame
and sealed with the proper sealant (usually high-temp
silicone).
Fireplace installation must also observe the proper
clearances to surrounding trim and mantels (addressed
in clearance section of this manual). In addition, fireplace
installations must also adhere to the floor protection
guidelines specified in the following section.
Prefabricated chimneys
When installing the Jøtul F 3 to a prefabricated metal
chimney always follow the pipe manufacture's
instructions and be sure to use the components that are
required. This usually includes some type of "smoke pipe
adapter" that is secured to the bottom section of the
metal chimney and allows the chimney pipe to be
secured to it with three sheet metal screws. See figures
10 and 11.

Floor protection
Floor protection under the Jøtul F 3, must be one of the
following:
1. Any non combustible material with an insulative
R value of 1.1.
2. Any UL, ULC or WH hearth board or prefrabricated
non-combustible material.
The bottom heatshield (standard equipment) is required
in all installations.
Individual sections of floor protection must be mortared
together t,o prevent sparks from falling through to
combustible materials. Any carpeting must be removed
from under the floor protection.
In the U.S.and Canada
The Jøtul F 3 must be installed on a non-combustible
surface extending a minimum of 16" for U.S. (46 cm for
Canada) in front of the stove and 8" (20 cm) on the
remaining sides of the stove (measured from side and
back panels).
This will result in a minimum floor protection of 39 cm
D x 39 cm W. for U.S.,and 104 cm D x 99 cm W for Canada.
See figure 12.
In a rear vent installation the floor protection must also
extend under the stove pipe a minimum of 2" (5 cm)
beyond either side of the pipe.
