Alcove Installation - Jøtul F 100 USA Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

USA/CANADA
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 pages12-13 for complete clearance requirements
and diagrams.
Using Shields to Reduce Clearances
Chimney Connector Heat Shields: Use only connector
heat shielding listed for use with solid fuel heaters.
The connector heat shield must begin 1" above the
lowest exposed point of the connector pipe and extend
vertically a minimum of 25" (640 cm) above the top
surface of the stove.
Double Wall Connector: Listed double wall pipe is an
acceptable alternative to connector pipe heat shields.
When using double wall connector, Flue Collar Heat
Shield Kit 154996 must be installed on the stove.
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.

The Jøtul F 100 USA can be installed in an Alcove as
diagrammed in figures 10 and 11.
1. The stove must be installed with listed double wall
pipe.
2. In a protected alcove installation both side walls
and rear wall must be protected per NFPA 211
or CAN/CSA-B365. The wall protection must be
elevated 1" (25 mm) from the floor and spaced at
least 1" (25 mm) off the combustible wall, using
noncombustible spacers, to allow for air circulation
behind the shield.
3. The height of the wall protection including the
bottom air space must be 48" (121 cm).
4. Alcove floor protection must consist of a UL/ULC
or WHI listed hearth pad or a non combustible
material with a minimum R value of 2.0.
5. Minimum ceiling height in an unprotected
installation, off the top of the stove is 60"(153 cm).
The minimum ceiling height off the top of the stove
in a protected ceiling installation is 48" (122 cm).
