Jotul F 500 - Handbuch (Seite 4)

Installation:
If this solid fuel room heater is not properly installed a house
fire may result. For your safety, follow the installation
directions. Contact the local building or fire officials about
restrictions and installation inspection 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.
Assembly before Installation
The Jøtul F 500 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.
Chimney Connector
The chimney connector is a single walled pipe used to connect
the stove to the chimney. For use with the
Jøtul F 500, the chimney connector must be 6” (152mm) in
diameter, with a minimum thickness of 24 gauge black steel.
•
Aluminum and Galvanized steel pipe is not acceptable for
use with the Jøtul F 500. 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 2, page 13.
• 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.
• 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” (915mm) and a
recommended total length of stove pipe should not exceed
10 feet.
• Always slope horizontal runs upward 1/4” (6,35mm) 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.
Chimneys:
There are two types of chimneys suitable for the
Jøtul F 500:
1. A code- approved masonry chimney with a flue liner.
2. A prefabricated chimney complying with the requirements
for Type HT (2100°F) chimneys per UL 103 or ULC S629.
The chimney size should not be less than the cross-sectional
area of the flue collar, and not more than three times greater
than the cross-sectional area of the flue collar.
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 a suction, called “draft”,
which pulls air through the stove.
Several factors affect draft: chimney height, cross-sectional area
(size), and temperature of the chimney, as well as the proximity
of surrounding trees or buildings.
As a result, a short masonry chimney on the exterior of a house
will give the poorest performance. This is because it can be
very difficult to warm the chimney thereby creating inadequate
draft. In extremely cold northern areas it may be necessary to
reline the chimney or extend its height to help establish draft.
Conversely, a tall masonry chimney inside the house is easier to
keep warm and will perform the best.
The following guidelines give the necessary chimney
requirements based on the national code (ANSI-NFPA 211for the
US. And CSA CAN-B365 for Canada). However, many local codes
differ from the national code to take into account climate,
altitude, or other factors.
Notice:
It is important that you check with your local building officials
to find out what codes apply in your area before installing your
new Jøtul F 500.
Remember: Your local inspector(s) have the final authority in
approving your installation. It is always best to consult with
them prior to the installation.
Masonry Chimneys
When installing the Jøtul F 500 into a masonry chimney you
must conform to all of the following guidelines:
• The masonry chimney must have a fireclay liner or
equivalent, with a minimum thickness of 5/8” (16mm) and
must be installed with refractory mortar. There must be at
least 1/4” (6,35mm) air space between the flue liner and
chimney wall.
• The fireclay flue liner must have a nominal size of 8” X 8”,
and should not be larger than 8” X 12”. If a round fireclay
liner is to be used it must have a minimum inside diameter
of 6” (157mm) and not larger than 8” (208mm) in diameter.
• If a chimney with larger dimensions is to be used, it should
be relined with an appropriate liner that is code approved.
• The masonry wall of the chimney, if brick or modular block,
must be a minimum of 4”(106mm) nominal thickness. A
mountain or rubble stone wall must be at least 12” (310mm)
thick.
