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 Firelight CB.
Rear heatshield part # 154329.
NO OTHER HEAT SHIELD MAY BE USED.
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 Firelight CB.
The following diagrams give the required clearances you
must maintain when installing the Firelight CB 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. Contact your local building
officials about restrictions and installation requirements in
your area.

FOR COMPLETE CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS
AND DIAGRAMS.
A hearth pad measuring 45 wide X 53 deep can be
used. HOWEVER,
USE OF THE RIGHT SIDE
LOAD DOOR IS PROHIBITED when this size
hearth is used; Because access to the firebox is only
allowed through a door that has a minimum of 18 of
hearth protection.
NOTICE
Accessories for wood stoves 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 laboratorys testing
mark. Make sure to follow all of the
manufacturers 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.
Remember: Fire Resistant materials are
considered combustible; they are difficult to ignite,
but will burn. Also Fire-rated sheet rock is also
considered combustible.
