1.0 Installation
1.1 Assembly before Installation
The Jøtul F 500 is shipped with the flue collar, gasketing and
hardware inside the stove.
•
To install the flue collar in the top or rear exit position remove
the tape from the gasketing and adhere to the groove on the
back of the stove around the flue opening.
•
Place the flue collar on the stove in the top or rear exit position
and secure with the nut, bolt and washer.
•
The nut and washer are placed on the inside of the stove.
•
Take out the ash lips, which are inside the burn chamber, and
install. The one in front is placed loosely on top of the base
plate, while the side ash lip is fastened with the screw that
is pre-installed on the base plate.
2.0 Chimney and Chimney
Connector
The chimney connector is a single walled pipe used
to connect the stove to the chimney. For use with the
Jøtul F 500, the chimney connector must be 6" (152mm) in
diameter, with a minimum thickness of 24 gauge black steel.
Attach the flue collar to the chimney connection using 2 self-
drilling screws found in the miscellaneous kit.
•
Aluminum and Galvanized steel pipe is not acceptable for use
with the Jøtul F 500. These materials cannot withstand the
extreme temperatures of a wood fire and can give off toxic
fumes when heated.
•
Do not use the connector pipe as a chimney.
•
Each chimney connector or stove pipe section must be
installed to the stove flue collar and to each other with the
male (crimped) end toward the stove. See figure 2.
•
This prevents any amount of condensed or liquid creosote
from running down the outside of the pipe or the stove top.
•
All joints, including the flue collar connection must be secured
with three sheet metal screws.
•
For the best performance the chimney connector should be
as short and direct as possible, with no more than two 90°
elbows.
•
The maximum horizontal run is 36" (915mm) and a recommended
total length of stove pipe should not exceed 10 feet.
•
Always slope horizontal runs upward 1/4" (6,35mm) per foot
toward the chimney.
•
No part of the chimney connector may pass through an attic
or roof space, closet or other concealed space, or through a
floor or ceiling.
•
All sections of the chimney connectors must be accessible for
cleaning.
•
Where passage through a wall or partition of combustible
construction is desired, the installation must conform with
NFPA 211 or CAN/CSA-B365, and is also addressed in this
manual.
•
Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue servicing another
appliance.

2.1 Chimney Requirements
T h e re a re t wo t y p e s o f c h i m n eys s u i t a b l e fo r t h e
Jøtul F 500:
1. A code- approved masonry chimney with a flue liner.
2. A prefabricated chimney complying with the requirements
for Type HT (2100°F) chimneys per UL 103 or ULC S629.
An existing chimney system must pass a UL 1482 Level II
inspection conducted by a qualified technician or building official.
The chimney size should not be less than the cross-sectional area
of the flue collar, and not more than three times greater than the
cross-sectional area of the flue collar.
When selecting a chimney type and the location for the chimney
in the house, keep this in mind: it is the chimney that makes the
stove work, not the stove that makes the chimney work. This is
because a chimney actually creates a suction, called "draft", which
pulls air through the stove.
Several factors affect draft: chimney height, cross-sectional area
(size), and temperature of the chimney, as well as the proximity
of surrounding trees or buildings.
As a result, a short masonry chimney on the exterior of a house
will give the poorest performance. This is because it can be very
difficult to warm the chimney thereby creating inadequate draft.
In extremely cold northern areas it may be necessary to reline the
chimney or extend its height to help establish draft.
Conversely, a tall masonry chimney inside the house is easier to
keep warm and will perform the best.
The following guidelines give the necessary chimney requirements
based on the national code (ANSI-NFPA 211for the US. And CSA
CAN-B365 for Canada). However, many local codes differ from
the national code to take into account climate, altitude, or other
factors.
Notice:
It is important that you check with your local building officials
to find out what codes apply in your area before installing your
new Jøtul F 500.
Remember: Your local inspector(s) have the final authority in
approving your installation. It is always best to consult with them
prior to the installation.
2.2 Masonry Chimneys
When installing the Jøtul F 500 into a masonry chimney you must
conform to all of the following guidelines:
• The chimney flue size should not be less than the cross-
sectional area of the stove flue collar.
• The cross-sectional area of the flue of a chimney with no walls
exposed to the outside below the roofline shall not be more
than three times the cross-sectional area of the stove flue
collar.
•
The cross-sectional area of the flue of a chimney with one or
more walls exposed to the outside below the roofline shall
not be more than two times the cross-sectional area of the
stove flue collar.
•
Larger chimney flues should be relined with a listed or code
approved liner.
• The masonry chimney must have a fireclay liner or equivalent,
