Clearances To Combustibles; Floor Protection; Clearances To Walls And Ceilings; Using Shields To Reduce Clearances - Jøtul F 45 Greenville Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

4.0 Clearance to Combustibles

4.1 Floor Protection

The Bottom Heat Shield provided with the stove must be
installed unless the stove is installed on concrete poured on
earth. See instructions in the Appendix on page 26.
The Jøtul F 45 also requires one of the following forms of
hearth protection if not installed directly on concrete poured
on earth:
1) Any UL/ULC Type I, Type II, or Warnock Hersey Listed hearth
board.
2) Any noncombustible material.
IN THE U.S: Floor protection must extend forward from the
door opening at least 16 in. and 8 in. from the sides of the
door opening. Protection must also extend 2 in. from the rear
and 2" to the sides under any horizontal chimney connector.
This will result in a minimum floor protector measuring 27"
wide x 44" deep. See fig 9.
IN CANADA: Floor protection must extend 18" from the front
of the stove and 8 in. (460mm) from the sides and rear. It
must also extend 2 in. (51 mm) under any horizontal chimney
connector. This results in a floor protector dimension of 39 in.
x 52 in. (99 cm x 52 cm) See fig.10.

4.2 Clearances to Walls and Ceilings

The clearances listed and diagramed in this manual have
been tested to UL and ULC standards and are the minimum
clearances to combustible materials specifically established
for the Jøtul F 45.
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 noncombustible materials. If you are not sure of the
combustible nature of a material, consult your local fire officials.
Remember: "Fire Resistant" materials are considered
combustible; they are difficult to ignite, but will burn. Also
"Fire-rated" sheet rock is also considered combustible.
Contact your local building officials about restrictions and
installation requirements in your area.
See pages 12-13 for clearance requirements and diagrams.

4.3 Using Shields to Reduce Clearances

Double Wall Connector: Listed double wall pipe is an
acceptable alternative to connector pipe heat shields.
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.
Notice: Many manufacturers have developed woodstove
accessories that permit clearance reduction. Use only
those accessories that have been tested by an independent
laboratory and carry the laboratory's testing mark. Be sure
to follow all of the manufacturer's instructions.
