Clearances to Walls and Ceilings
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
100
.
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 noncombustible 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 pages12-13 for complete clearance requirements and
diagrams.
Using Shields to Reduce Clearances
Chimney Connector Heat Shields:
Use only connector
heat shielding listed for use with solid fuel heaters. The
connector heat shield must begin 1” above the lowest
exposed point of the connector pipe and extend vertically
a minimum of 25” (640 cm) above the top surface of the
stove.
Double Wall Connector:
Listed double wall pipe is an
acceptable alternative to connector pipe heat shields.
When using double wall connector, Flue Collar Heat Shield
Kit 154996 must be installed on the stove.
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.
Notice:
Many manufacturers have developed woodstove
accessories that permit clearance reduction. Use only
those accessories 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.

Alcove Installation
The Jøtul F
100
can be installed in an Alcove as diagrammed
in
figures 10 and 11
.
1. The stove must be installed with listed double wall pipe.
2. In a
protected
alcove installation both side walls and
rear wall must be protected per NFPA 211 or CAN/
CSA-B365. The wall protection must be elevated 1” (25
mm) from the floor and spaced at least 1” (25 mm) off
the combustible wall, using noncombustible spacers,
to allow for air circulation behind the shield.
3. The height of the wall protection including the bottom
air space must be 48” (121 cm).
4. Alcove floor protection must consist of a UL/ULC or WHI
listed hearth pad or a non combustible material with a
minimum R value of 2.0.
5. Minimum ceiling height in an
unprotected
installation,
off the top of the stove is 60”(153 cm). The minimum
ceiling height off the top of the stove in a
protected
ceiling installation is 48” (122 cm).
