Floor Protection; Alternate Floor Protection; Clearances To Combustible Materials; Rear Heat Shield - Jøtul F 602 V2 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

F 602 V2 3/20
3.5 Listed Metal Prefabricated Chimney
The heater must be connected to a listed Type HT per
UL 103 or ULC S629 prefabricated (factory-built) chimney. When
a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer's
installation instructions must be followed precisely. You must
also purchase (from the same manufacturer) and install the
ceiling support package or wall pass through, the "T" section
package, the firestops (when needed), the insulation shield, the
roof flashing, the chimney cap, etc. Maintain all clearances to the
structure as recommended by the manufacturer. This clearance is
usually a minimum of 2", although it may vary by manufacturer
or for certain components.
See fig. 5, page 13.
4.0 Clearances to
Combustibles

4.1 Floor Protection

A bottom heat shield is required in all installations and is
included on the stove. In addition, the stove must be placed on a
noncombustible surface that extends continuously 8" beyond the
sides and back of the stove and 16" in the front of the stove(18"
in Canada). This will result in an overall base that is 28 1/2" wide
x 45- 1/2" deep . This is the minimum floor protector size. Floor
protection must also be used under the stove pipe and must
extend 2" beyond either side of the pipe (fig. 7, page 13).
The floor protection must have a minimum R value of 0.45.
Warning! Never put any type of floor protection on top of
carpeting.

4.2 Alternate Floor Protection

All floor protection materials must be non-combustible
(i.e., metals, brick, stone, mineral fiber boards, etc.). Any
organic materials (i.e., plastics, wood, paper products, etc.) are
combustible and must not be used. The floor protector specified
may include some form of thermal designation such as R-value
(thermal resistance), k-factor (thermal conductivity), or C-factor
(thermal conductance).
See 9.0 Appendix A on page 17 for the procedure to determine
alternate floor protection materials that meet the thermal
requirements for this stove.
4.3 Clearance to Adjacent Combustible
Materials
The diagrams in figures 8-13, pages 13-14, specify the required
clearances that must be maintained from unprotected
combustible materials or objects.
A combustible material is anything that can burn, and in the case
6
of stove installations, these material may not be visible. lf you are
not sure of the combustible nature of any material in the vicinity of
your planned stove installation, you should check with your local fire
officials. Remember that "fire resistant" materials are considered
combustible; they are difficult to ignite, but they will burn.
lf you have recently purchased a home that has a stove hearth in
it that you plan to use, it is extremely important that the entire
system be examined for safety. Many older homes may have faulty
chimneys, or previous owners may have covered combustible walls
or studs with brick veneers. Heat is conducted readily through brick
and could ignite combustible materials hidden behind it.
Contact local building or fire official about restrictions and
installation requirements in your area.
4.4 Using a Rear Heat Shield to Reduce
Clearance
The Jøtul F 602 V2 optional rear heat shield, PN HS-50, may
be used only in top-exiting installations to reduce clearance
as shown in figures 11,12,13, page 14.
4.5 Using Wall Protectors to Reduce
Clearances
The wall protector must be non-combustible, such as a
minimum 24 gauge galvanized steel or its equivalent.
The wall protector must be elevated 1" from the floor to
provide an air space of at least 1" between the shield and
the combustible wall. See figures 14-18 on pages 14-15 for
approved sizing specifications.
4.6 Alcove installation
When installed with a listed double wall pipe and with wall
protection, the Jøtul F 602 V2 can be placed in an alcove that
has a minimum height of 96"
and a minimum width of 41". See fig. 14, page 14.
When installed with a listed double wall pipe and with a
stove heat shield, the Jøtul F 602 V2 can be placed in an
alcove that has a minimum height of 96"
depth of 24" , and a minimum width of 55". The clearances
2
for this installation are shown in fig. 13 page 14.
4.6 Alcove wall protection
In an alcove, the height of the wall protector, including the
air space at the bottom, must be at least 41" (104 cm). See
fig. 15, page 16. Both side walls and the rear wall must be
protected by the wall protector. See fig. 15, page 14.
4.7 Fireplace Clearances
Refer to the combustible mantel and trim clearance
specifications as shown in fig. 19, page 15.
