Jotul F 3 Side Exit Venting, Installing The Stove Pipe Adapter, Stove Pipe Chimney Connector

SIDE EXIT VENTING

If venting through the side is desired it will be necessary to remove the top casting. Using a 3mm allen wrench remove the two set screws that secure to the top to the side panels. Remove the front door to avoid damage to the glass. Reminder: loss of the door washer will result in improper door alignment when reinstalling the door.

Using a claw hammer or a small sledge hammer strike the CENTER of the 6” “knock-out” disc from the INSIDE of the stove. The “knock-out” disc will break into four wedges and may need to be tapped out. Touch up any remaining sharp edges with a file or hand grinder. Reinstall the front door, remembering the washer and the top casting.

INSTALLING THE STOVE PIPE ADAPTER

After the appropriate flue outlet in the stove has been established the stove pipe adapter (included with every stove) must be installed so that standard stove pipe can be installed onto the stove.

Insert the end of the adapter with the four holes into the stove. These holes allow the adaptor to be attached to the stove’s internal collar, using the nuts and bolts provided with the stove. See figure 3.

The adaptor should be inserted into the stove until the bead on the adapter is flush with the top, back or side casting. Now the adaptor is ready to accept single or double walled stove pipe. See figure 4.

Each joint of chimney connector or stove pipe must be secured with at least three sheet metal screws to ensure that the sections do not seperate.

CHIMNEY CONNECTOR

The chimney connector is a single walled pipe used to connect the stove to the chimney. For use with the F 3 CB 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 F 3 CB. These materials cannot withstand the extreme temperatures of a wood fire and can give off toxic fumes when heated.

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 5.

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.

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 use the connector pipe as a chimney.
