ABOUT RESTRICTIONS AND

INSTALLATIONINSPECTION REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA.

Reminder:

Your local officials have final authority in determining if a proposed installation is acceptable. Any requirement, that is requested by the local authority having jurisdiction, that is not specifically addressed in THIS manual, defaults to NFPA 211, and local codes in the U.S. or in Canada, CAN/CSA-B365-M and local codes.

TOP OR REAR EXIT FLUE

The Oslo F500 is shipped with the flue collar, gasketing and hardware inside the stove. To install the flue collar in the top or rear exit position remove the tape from the gasketing and adhere to the groove on the back of the stove around the flue opening. Place the flue collar on the stove in the top or rear exit position and secure with the nut, bolt and washer. The nut and washer are placed on the inside of the stove.

STOVE PIPE

CHIMNEY CONNECTOR

The chimney connector is a single walled pipe used to connect the stove to the chimney. For use with the OSLO F500 the chimney connector MUST be 6” in diameter, with a minimum thickness of 24 gauge black steel.

Aluminum and Galvanized steel pipe is not acceptable for use with the OSLO F500. These materials cannot withstand the extreme temperatures of a wood fire and can give off toxic fumes when heated.

Do not use the connector pipe as a chimney.

Each chimney connector or stove pipe section must be installed to the stove flue collar and to each other with the male (crimped) end toward the stove. See

figure 1.

This prevents any amount of condensed or liquid creosote from running down the outside of the pipe or the stove top. All joints, including the flue collar connection must be secured with three sheet metal screws to ensure that the sections do not separate.

FIGURE1

For the best performance the chimney connector should be as short and direct as possible, with no more than two 90° elbows. The maximum horizontal run is 36” and a recommended total length of stove pipe should not exceed 10 feet. Always slope horizontal runs upward ¼” per foot toward the chimney.

No part of the chimney connector may pass through an attic or roof space, closet or other concealed space, or through a floor or ceiling. All sections of the chimney connectors must be accessible for cleaning. Where passage through a wall or partition of combustible construction is desired, the installation must conform with NFPA 211 or CAN/CSA-B365, and is also addressed in this manual.

DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVICING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

DO NOT CONNECT THIS STOVE TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.
