3. Any non-combustible material with the use of the
stove’s bottom heatshield.
All forms of protection must be a non-combustible surface
extending a minimum of 18” (460mm) in front of the
stove. And 8” (200mm) from the sides and back of the
stove (measured from side and back panels).
This will result in a minimum floor protection of 42” W X
44”D. See figure 8.
In a rear vent installation the floor protection must also
extend under the stove pipe a minimum of 2” (50mm)
beyond either side of the pipe. See figure 8.
When constructing a new hearth or floor pad, consult
appendix a at the back of this manual for alternate
materials and methods.
Clearances to walls and ceilings
The following clearances have been tested to UL and ULC
standards and are the minimum clearances specifically
established for the Jøtul F 400 Castine.
The following diagrams give the required clearances you
must maintain when installing the F 400 Castine near
combustible surfaces.
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 non-combustible 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 pages 12- 13 for complete clearance requirements and
diagrams.
Using Shields to Reduce Clearances
Pipe shields: When using listed pipe shields to reduce the
connector clearance to combustibles, it must start 1” above
the lowest exposed point of the connect pipe and extend
vertically a minimum of 25” above the top surface of the
stove.
Double wall pipe: Listed double wall pipe is an acceptable
alternative to connector pipe heatshields.
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.
Stove Mounted Heatshield: A stove rear heatshield has
been specifically designed for the F 400 Castine.
In the U.S. and Canada the rear heatshield part number
is # 154911. No other heat shield may be used.
NOTICE: Accessories for woodstoves for clearance
reduction have been developed by many manufacturers.
If not following the methods of the installation codes, be
sure that any accessory you choose has been tested by an
independent laboratory and carries the laboratory’s
testing mark. Make sure to follow all of the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Always contact your local building inspector or fire officials
about restriction and requirements in your area. Reminder,
it is the local officials who have final authority in the
installations approval.

CSA-B365. The wall protection must be elevated 1”
from the floor and at least 1” off the combustible
wall to allow for an air-flow.
3. The height of the wall protection including the bottom
air space must be 48”.
4. The Bottom heatshield is required in all Alcove
installations.
5. ALCOVE floor protection must be: a UL/ULC or WHI
listed hearth pad or a non combustible material with
a minimum R value of 2.0.
6. Minimum ceiling height in an unprotected installation,
off the top of the stove is 58” (1475mm). The minimum
ceiling height off the top of the stove in a protected
ceiling installation is 36” (915mm).
