4.4 Clearance to Combustible Materials
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 370.

noncombustible materials. “Fire Resistant” or ”Fire-

difficult to ignite, but will burn.

4.4.1 Clearance to Walls & Ceilings
See the table in fig.8. for specific wall clearance
requirements using either single or listed double-wall
connectors.
Minimum Ceiling Height: 72” / 183 cm
The F 370 is approved for use with Listed double wall pipe
installed to conform to the clearances in fig. 8a.
Wall-Mounted Protection: When reducing clearances
through the use of wall-mounted protection:
For 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.
For 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 accesso ries 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.
4.4.2 Rear Exit Clearances
The stove position will be determined by the greater
of either the stove clearance or the chimney connector
clearance. See fig. 8.

4.3 Floor Protection
Any floor that is not composed of concrete poured on
earth requires protection from sparks and embers. The
Jøtul F 370 is approved for installation using one of the
following forms of hearth protection:
1) Any UL, ULC, or Warnock Hersey Listed Type 1 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. under
the chimney connector. This will result in a minimum
floor protector 29 1/2” wide x 33 3/4” deep. See fig 7.
In Canada, floor protection must extend 18” from the front
of the stove and 8 in. (460mm) from the sides. It must also
extend 2 in. (51 mm) under the chimney connector. This
results in a floor protector 33 1/2 in. x 35 3/4 in. (851 mm x
908 mm) See fig.7.
