Connecting To The Chimney; Masonry Chimney Thimbles; Hearthmount Into A Masonry Fireplace; Prefabricated Chimneys - Jøtul F 600 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

USA/CANADA
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 18" 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.

Connecting to the chimney:

Masonry Chimney Thimbles

When installing a Jøtul F 600 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 5, page 14.
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.

Hearthmount Into a Masonry
Fireplace
The Jøtul F 600 may be installed into a masonry fireplace
provided the height of the opening is a minimum of 31".
When installing the Jøtul F 600 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 6, page 14.
The inside area of the flue liner must not be less than the
area of the stove's flue exit, and cannot be more than three
times greater than the cross sectional area of the stove's
flue exit.
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 600 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 figure 7, page 14.
