stove's flue collar adapter and to each other with the crimped end toward the stove (fig. 2, page 20).

The space between the flue collar adapter and the chimney connector should be sealed with stove cement or an appropriately size piece of gasket. This allows any small amounts of condensed creosote to run into the stove rather then onto the outside of the pipe or the stove top. All joints,including the adapter to the flue collar,should be secured with three sheet metal screws to ensure that the sections will not separate.

For proper operation the chimney connector should be as short as possible. Horizontal lengths should have an upward slope from the stove of 1/4" per foot. Avoid using more than two 90 degree elbows or total runs of pipe greater than 1 0'.

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. Whenever possible, avoid passing the chimney connector through a combustible wall.

Wall Pass-Through

When your installation unavoidably requires that the chimney connector pass through a combustible wall to reach the chimney, extreme care must be taken. In the U.S., the National Fire Protection Association's publication NFPA 21 1, Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances, permits four methods for passing through a combustible wall. In Canada, refer to CAN/CGA B356. Before beginning the installation, contact local building officials to make sure the proposed pass- through method meets local building code requirements.

A commonly used method to pass through a wall directly to a masonry chimney requires removal of all combustible material from at least 12" around the entire chimney connector. The space is then filled with at least 12" of brick around a fireclay liner. Be sure to locate it so that the top of the chimney connector will be at least 18" below the ceiling.

To construct the brick pass-through, you will need an opening of 30" x 30" minimum. It will be necessary to cut wall studs, install headers, and construct a sill frame to maintain proper dimensions and to hold the weight of the brick. Minimum 3-1/2" (4" nominal) thick solid bricks are to be used.

The fireclay liner (ASTM C35 or equivalent), minimum 5/8" wall thickness, must not penetrate into the chimney beyond the inner surface of the chimney flue liner and must be firmly cemented in place. If it is necessary to cut a hole in the chimney liner, use extreme care to keep it from shattering. Refractory mortar must be used at the junction to the chimney liner. (See figure 3, page 21)

An approved installation that uses a section of listed solid fuel insulated factory-built chimney as a pass- through for the chimney connector, must have an inside diameter which is 2" larger than the chimney connector- a minimum length of 12" -and at least 1" of insulation thickness. The chimney section is installed with at least 2" of air space between the outer chimney wall and adjacent combustible materials.

Sheet steel support plates are used on both ends of the chimney section to keep the connector centred. The opening around the chimney section is closed on both sides of the wall with sheet steel plates and the chimney section is securely fastened to the plates. Fasteners used to support the chimney section should never penetrate the inner flue liner.

See NFPA-211 for other approved wall passthrough methods.

B. Chimneys

There are two types of chimneys suitable for the Jøtul F 602 USA. An approved masonry chimney, or a listed residential-type building heating appliance chimney.

When selecting a chimney type and the location for the chimney in the house, keep this in mind: it is the chimney that makes the stove work, not the stove that makes the chimney work. This is because a chimney actually creates suction, called draft, which pulls air through the stove.

Several factors affect draft: the height, cross-sectional area, and temperature of the chimney, as well as the proximity of surrounding trees or buildings.

In general, a short masonry chimney on the exterior of the house will give the poorest performance. This is because it can be very difficult to warm up, and in extremely cold northern areas it may not work at all.

A tall masonry chimney inside the house is easier to keep warm and will work best.

This guideline gives the necessary chimney requirements based on the U.S. national code (NFPA-211). However, many local codes differ from the national code to take into account climate, altitude, or other factors. It is important that you check with your local building officials to find out what codes apply in your area before constructing a chimney.

Wood Stove specifications

Jotul wood stoves have gained a reputation for their exceptional craftsmanship and reliable performance. Founded in Norway in 1853, Jotul has become synonymous with quality and innovation in the world of wood burning. One of their hallmark features is the unique cast iron construction, which not only provides superior heat retention but also ensures durability and longevity. This material allows the stove to radiate heat evenly over a prolonged period, making it an efficient heating source during the cold months.

One of the standout technologies that Jotul employs is their advanced combustion system. This system promotes a cleaner and more efficient burn by maximizing the combustion of wood gases, which in turn reduces smoke emissions and particulate matter. This is not only beneficial for the environment but also complies with stringent regulatory standards. Many Jotul models achieve EPA certification, which signifies their commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly practices.

Another impressive characteristic of Jotul wood stoves is their wide range of styles and designs that can fit into any home decor. Whether you prefer a traditional or contemporary look, there is a Jotul stove to match your aesthetic preferences. The stoves also come in various sizes, making it easy to find one that suits your heating needs, whether for a small cabin or a large family home.

Jotul stoves often include features like air wash systems that keep the glass doors clean by directing a flow of air across the surface, ensuring a clear view of the flickering flames. Additionally, several models are equipped with a versatile cooking option, allowing you to use the stove for heating meals or boiling water in an emergency situation.

Ease of use is another essential feature of Jotul wood stoves. With straightforward controls for adjusting the airflow, you can easily manage the burn rate of the fire and enjoy optimal heat output. The large loading doors make refueling convenient, while the ash pan system simplifies cleanup.

In summary, Jotul wood stoves combine classic design with innovative technology to deliver an efficient, user-friendly, and aesthetically pleasing heating option for homes. Their commitment to quality and environmental considerations has made them a beloved choice among homeowners who seek both function and beauty in their heating solutions.
