Clearances To Combustibles; Floor Protection; Clearances To Walls And Ceilings; Using Shields To Reduce Clearances - Jøtul F 600 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

Clearances to Combustibles:

Floor Protection

Floor protection under the stove must be constructed of a
non-combustible material for protection from radiant heat,
sparks, and embers.
Individual sections of floor protection must be mortared
together to 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 600 must be installed on a non-combustible
surface extending:
A minimum of 18" (460mm) in front of the stove and the
right side load door (measured from the legs).
And 8" (200mm) on the left side and back of the stove
(measured from side and back panels).
This will result in a minimum floor protection of
55"W X 50"D. See figure 8, page 14.
In a rear vent installation the floor protection must also
extend under the stove pipe a minimum of 2" (50mm)
beyond either side of the pipe.
A hearth pad measuring 45" wide X 53" deep can be used.
However, use of the right side load door is prohibited when
this size hearth is used; because access to the firebox is
only allowed through a door that has a minimum of 18"
(460mm) of hearth protection.
When constructing a new hearth or floor pad, consult
appendix a at the back of this manual for alternate
materials and methods.

Clearances to Walls and Ceilings

The following clearances have been tested to UL and ULC
standards and are the minimum clearances specifically
established for the Jøtul F 600.
The following diagrams give the required clearances you
must maintain when installing the Jøtul F 600 near
combustible surfaces. See pages 16-17.
A combustible surface is anything that can burn (i.e. sheet
rock, wall paper, wood, fabrics etc.). These surfaces are
not limited to those that are visible and also include
materials that are behind non-combustible materials.
If you are not sure of the combustible nature of a material,
consult your local fire officials. Contact your local building
officials about restrictions and installation requirements
in your area.
Remember: "Fire Resistant" materials are considered
combustible; they are difficult to ignite, but will burn. Also
"Fire-rated" sheet rock is also considered combustible.

Using Shields to Reduce Clearances

Pipe shields: When using listed pipe shields to reduce the
connector clearance to combustibles, it must start 1" above
the lowest exposed point of the connect pipe and extend
vertically a minimum of 25" above the top surface of the
stove.
Double wall pipe: Listed double wall pipe is an acceptable
alternative to connector pipe heatshields.
Wall-Mounted Protection: When reducing clearances
through the use of wall mounted protection:
In the U.S. refer to NFPA 211, Standard for Chimneys,
Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances, for
acceptable materials, proper sizing and construction
guidelines.
In Canada, refer to CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for
Solid-Fuel Burning Appliances and Equipment, also for
acceptable materials, proper sizing and construction
guidelines.
Stove Mounted Heatshield: A stove rear heatshield has been
specifically designed for the Jøtul F 600.
Rear heatshield part # 154329.
No other heat shield may be used.
See pages 16-17 for complete clearance requirements and
diagrams.
Notice
Accessories for wood stoves for clearance reduction have been
developed by many manufacturers. If not following the
methods of the installation codes, be sure that any accessory
you choose has been tested by an independent laboratory
and carries the laboratory's testing mark. Make sure to follow
all of the manufacturer's instructions.
Always contact your local building inspector or fire officials
about restriction and requirements in your area. Reminder,
it is the local officials who have final authority in the
installations approval.
