Clearances to
Combustibles:

Floor Protection

Floor protection under the stove must be constructed
of a non-combustible material for protection from
radiant heat, sparks, and embers.
Individual sections of floor protection must be mortared
together to prevent sparks from falling through to
combustible materials. Any carpeting must be removed
from under the floor protection.
In the U.S. and Canada
The Jøtul F 500 must be installed on a non-combustible
surface extending:
A minimum of 18" (460mm) in front of the stove and
the right side load door (measured from the legs).
And 8" (200mm) on the left side and back of the stove
(measured from side and back panels).
This will result in a minimum floor protection of
55"W X 50"D. See figure 8, page 14.
In a rear vent installation the floor protection must also
extend under the stove pipe a minimum of 2" (50mm)
beyond either side of the pipe.
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" (460mm) of hearth protection.
When constructing a new hearth or floor pad, consult
appendix a at the back of this manual for alternate
materials and methods.

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 F 500.
The following diagrams give the required clearances
you must maintain when installing the Jøtul F 500 near
combustible surfaces. See pages 16-17.
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.
Remember: "Fire Resistant" materials are considered
combustible; they are difficult to ignite, but will burn. Also "Fire-
rated" sheet rock is also considered combustible.

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 Jøtul F 500.
Rear heatshield part # 154329.
No other heat shield may be used.
See pages 16-17 for complete clearance requirements and
diagrams.
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
laboratory's testing mark. Make sure to follow all of the
manufacturer's 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.
