Assembly Before Installation
Unpack the Stove
Inspect the stove for damage. Contact your dealer
immediately if any damage is found. Do not install the stove
if any damage is evident.

Flue Collar Reversal
The Flue Collar is oriented in the Top Exit position. If a Rear
Exit position is required, remove the two mounting bolts,
and turn the collar 180 degrees. Secure the collar using the
same bolts, nuts and washers.
Chimney Connector
Use 6” single wall or listed 6” double-wall stovepipe to
connect the stove to the chimney. Single wall stovepipe
must be black iron or stainless steel and have a minimum
thickness of 24 gauge. Do not use aluminum or galvanized
steel pipe for chimney connection - these materials are
not suitable for use with solid fuel.
Follow these guidelines regarding chimney connector
construction:
• Do not use chimney connector as a chimney. It is intended
only for use as a connection device.
• Each connector section must be oriented with the male
(crimped) end pointing toward the stove. See fig. 2.
• Secure all connector joints with three sheet metal
screws.
• For the best performance, the chimney connector should
be as short and direct as possible, including no more
than two 90° elbows.
• The maximum vertical run of single wall stovepipe
should not exceed 10 ft. (305 cm). The maximum
horizontal run should not exceed 3 ft. (92 cm) with a 1/4”
rise per foot.
• 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 stove to a chimney flue servicing
another appliance.
Chimney Requirements
There are two types of chimneys suitable for the Jøtul F
400 :
1. A code-approved masonry chimney with a ceramic tile
or listed steel 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.
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 climates, it may be
necessary to reline the chimney or extend its height to
help establish draft.
A tall, interior masonry chimney is easier to keep warm
and will perform the best under a variety of weather and
environmental conditions.
The following guidelines give the necessary chimney
requirements based on the national code (ANSI-NFPA 211
for 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. Your local
building inspector is the final approving authority. Consult
them prior to installation.
Do not connect the stove to any air distribution duct or
system.
Masonry Chimneys
When installing the Jøtul F 400 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” (14 mm)
and must be installed with refractory mortar. There
must be at least ½” (12.7 mm) air space between the
flue liner and chimney wall.
• The fireclay flue liner must have a nominal size of 8” X
8” (20 cm x 20 cm), and should not be larger than 8”X 12”
(20 cm x 30 cm). A round fireclay liner must have a
minimum inside diameter of 6” (15 cm) and maximum
inside diameter of 8” (20 cm). A larger chimney should
be relined with an appropriate code approved liner.
