Installation
Masonry Fireplace Requirements
• The entire fireplace and chimney must be cleaned
and inspected to NFPA 211 Level II standards
before installation. The system must meet local
building code requirements.
• The structure and components must be free of
any defects such as cracks or broken bricks or flue
tiles. Any damage must be repaired before instal-
lation of the fireplace insert.
Any opening that may exist between the
masonry of the fireplace and the facing masonry
must be permanently sealed.
• The chimney must have a clay tile liner or a stain-
less steel liner utilizing a positive connection.
• Do not remove bricks or mortar from the fire-
place or chimney. However, masonry or steel may
be removed from the smoke shelf and adjacent
damper frame area to accommodate installation
of a chimney liner, provided that their removal
will not weaken the structure of the fireplace or
chimney, and will not reduce protection for com-
bustible materials.
• Chimney Height:
Minimum - 15 ft. ( 4.57 meters)
Maximum - 33 ft. (10.5 meters)

Factory-Built Fireplace Requirements
The Jøtul C 550 CB Rockland may be installed into a
factory-built fireplace with the following conditions:
• The factory-built fireplace must be listed per
UL 127 or ULC S610.
• The factory-built chimney system must be fully-
lined with listed chimney liner meeting type HT
requirements (2100°F) per UL 1777 (U.S.) or ULC
S635 (CAN). Some liner manufacturers require
insulation in order to achieve a UL 1777 or ULC-
S635 listing. Check with the liner manufacturer
to determine if insulation is required. Insulation is
recommended, especially if the chimney is located
in a chase outside of the building envelope. The
liner must be securely attached to the insert flue
collar and the chimney top.
• THE TOP PLATE OF THE LINER SYSTEM MUST NOT
BLOCK AIRFLOW BETWEEN THE COOLING WALLS
OF THE FACTORY-BUILT AIR-COOLED CHIMNEY
SYSTEM. These airways MUST be left open under
all conditions to maintain proper air-cooling of
the chimney system. See fig. 3.
• The damper area or fireplace front must be sealed
to prevent passage of room air into the chimney
cavity.
• The convection chamber/louvers of the zero-
clearance fireplace MUST NOT be blocked off.
