Jøtul F 400 User Manual

6
Common Method
This method requires the removal of all combustible
materials from at least 18” (457mm) around the chimney
connector’s proposed location. With a 6” round liner the
minimum area required would be 43” x 43” square.
It is important to remember to locate the pass-through
at least 18” from the ceiling to maintain the proper
clearance to combustibles.
The space that is cleared of combustible materials must
then remain empty. Sheet metal panels can then be used
to cover the area. However, when using a panel on both
sides of the wall each cover must be installed on
noncombustible spacers at least 1” from the wall. If one
panel of sheet metal is to be used it may be installed flush
to the wall.
See section 5.3.1 and 5.3.2 of CAN/CSA - B365-M91.
Consult your local building inspector, authorized Jøtul
Dealer, NFPA 211 in the U.S. or CAN/CSA-B635 in Canada
for other approved wall pass-through methods.
Connecting to the chimney
Masonry Chimney
When installing a Jøtul F 400 Castine into a masonry
chimney through a “thimble”(the opening through the
chimney wall to the flue), the thimble must be lined with
ceramic tile or metal and be securely cemented in place.
The chimney connector/stove pipe must slide completely
inside the thimble to the inner surface or the flue liner. It
may be necessary to make use of a thimble sleeve (a pipe
with a slightly smaller diameter than standard stove pipe).
This special pipe can be easily installed into a thimble. See
figure 4.
Make sure the connector pipe or thimble sleeve does not
protrude into the flue liner, thereby restricting the area
the smoke has to flow through. This bottle-neck will have
a negative affect on the chimney system.
The chimney connector should be sealed at the thimble
with refractory cement and the stove pipe leading to the
stove should have a minimum of three screws.
Do not connect this stove to a chimney flue servicing
another appliance of any kind.
Hearth-mount into a Masonry
Fireplace
The F 400 Castine may be installed into a masonry
fireplace provided the height of the opening is a minimum
of 29 1/2”. If necessary, the short leg package reduces the
stove’s height by 2 1/4”.
When installing the stove into a masonry fireplace, code
requires that the fireplace damper plate be removed or
securely fixed in the open position. A connector pipe must
then extend from the stove’s flue exit through the damper
area of the fireplace and into the chimney tile liner. See
figure 5.
The inside area of the flue liner must not be less than the
area of the stove’s flue exit, and cannot be more than three
times greater than the cross sectional area of the stove’s
flue exit.
If the chimney liner is too large to accommodate the stove,
an approved relining system must be installed to resize
the flue.
A new sheet metal damper block-off plate must be
installed around the connector pipe at the damper frame
and sealed with the proper sealant (usually High-Temp
Silicone).
Fireplace installation must also observe the proper
clearances to surrounding trim and mantels (addressed
in clearance section of this manual). In addition, fireplace
installations must also adhere to the floor protection
guidelines specified in the following section.
Prefabricated Chimneys
When installing the F 400 Castine to a prefabricated metal
chimney always follow the pipe manufacturer’s
instructions and be sure to use the components that are
required. This usually includes some type of “smoke pipe
adapter” that is secured to the bottom section of the metal
chimney and allows the chimney pipe to be secured to it
with three sheet metal screws. See figures 6 and 7.
Clearances to combustibles
Floor Protection
(In the U.S. and Canada)
The F 400 Castine requires any one of the following three
forms of hearth protection:
1. Any UL, ULC or WH listed hearth board. (No bottom
heatshield required).
2 Any non-combustible material that has a minimum
R- value of 2.0. (No bottom heatshield required.)
