Safety Notices
• Burn solid wood fuel only
• Do not use chemicals or fluids to start the fire.
Do not burn garbage or flammable fluids.
• If this room heater is not properly installed,
a house fire may result. To reduce the risk of
fire,follow the installation instructions.Failure
to follow these instructions may result in
property damage, bodily injury, or loss of life.
• Contact the local building or fire officials
about restrictions and installation inspection
requirements in your area.
• Do not connect this stove to any air distribution
duct or system.
• Extremely hot while in operation! Keep
children,clothing and furniture away. Contact
will cause skin burns.
• Install smoke detectors in the living areas and
bedrooms of your home.Test them regularly and
install new batteries twice annually.
When installed in the same room as the stove,
a smoke detector should be located as far from
the stove as possible to prevent it from sounding
when adding fuel to the fire.
• Avoid creating a low pressure condition in
the room where the stove is operating. Be
aware that operation of an exhaust fan or
clothes dryer can create a low pressure area
and consequently promote flow reversal
through the stove and chimney system. The
chimney and building, however, always work
together as a system - provision of outside
air, directly or indirectly to an atmospherically
vented appliance will not guarantee proper
chimney performance. Consult your local
Jøtul authorized dealer regarding specific
installation/performance issues.
• Jøtul recommends that this stove be installed
by a professional solid fuel technician or that
you consult one if you do the work yourself.Also,
consult your insurance company regarding any
other specific requirements.
1.0 Installation
If this solid fuel room heater is not properly installed,
a house fire may result. For your safety, follow the

• 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. Under no
circumstance should horizontal pipe be allowed to
slant down 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 stove to a chimney flue servicing
another appliance.
Install the Ashlip
Attach the ashlip to the front by engaging the center
tab with the slot located under the front door.
Assemble the Door Knob
Locate the white washer between the handle and the
knob.
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.
• Eachconnectorsectionmustbeorientedwiththemale
(crimped) end pointing toward the stove. See fig. 3.
• Secure all connector joints with three sheet metal
screws.The connection to the stove flue collar takes
two sheetmetal screws.

• 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.
• Brick or modular block must be a minimum of 4”(10
cm) nominal thickness. Stone construction must be
at least 12” (30 cm) thick.
• A newly-built chimney must conform to local codes,
or, in their absence, must comply with national
regulations.
• An existing chimney must be inspected by a
professional licensed chimney sweep,fire official,or
code officer to ensure that the chimney is in proper
working order.
• No other appliance may be vented into thesame flue.
• An airtight clean-out door should be located at the
base of the chimney.
Prefabricated Chimneys
A prefabricated metal chimney must be tested and
listed for use with solid fuel burning appliances. High
Temperature (HT) Chimney Standard UL 103 for the
U.S. and High Temperature Standard ULC S-629 for
Canada.
The manufacturer’s installation instructions must
be followed precisely. Always maintain the proper
clearance to combustibles as established by the pipe
manufacturer. This clearance is usually a minimum of
2”,although it may vary by manufacturer or for certain
chimney components.
Chimney Height
The chimney must be at least 3 feet (92 cm) higher than
the highest point where it passes through the roof and
at least 2 feet (61 cm) higher than the highest part of
the roof or structure that is within 10 feet (3.05 m) of
the chimney, measured horizontally. See figure 4.
2.0 Chimney Requirements
There are two types of chimneys suitable for the Jøtul
F 100 USA :
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 exterior masonry chimney will give the poorest
performance because it will be difficult to warm
the flue and sustain the temperatures necessary to
maintain draft strength. In extremely cold climates, it
may be necessary to reline the chimney or extend the
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 100 USA 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 1/2” (12.7 mm) air space
between the flue liner and chimney wall. Figure 4. Chimney Height Requirement.
3’
91.5 cm
2’
61 cm
10’
305 cm

7
Chimneys shorter than 14 feet (4.27 m) may not provide
adequate draft. Inadequate draft can result in smoke
spillage when loading the stove, or when the door is
open. Poor draft can also cause back puffing (ignition
of gas build-up inside the firebox) and sluggish
performance. The minimum height does not, in itself,
guarantee proper chimney performance.
Excessive chimney height can promote over-strong
draft resulting in high stove temperatures and short
burn times. Excessive draft can be corrected by
installing a butterfly damper. Your Jøtul dealer is an
expert resource to consult regarding draft issues or
other performance-related questions.
Wall Pass-Throughs
In the U.S.
The National Fire Protection Association’s publication,
NFPA 211, Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and
Solid Fuel Burning Appliances permits four methods
for passing through a combustible wall. Before
proceeding with any method be sure to consult with
your local building officials to discuss any local code
requirements.
Common Method:
See Figure 5. Remove all combustible materials from
the pass-through area ( around the chimney connector),
a minimum 12” (30.5 cm). A 6” (15.2 cm) diameter
connector will require a 31”x 31”(78.7 x 78.7 cm) square
opening.
The opening must be filled with at least 12” (30.5 cm)
of brick around a fireclay liner. The liner must be ASTM
C35 or equivalent, having a minimum wall thickness
of 5/8” (16 mm).
The Pass-through must be at least 18” (45.7 cm) from
combustible ceiling materials.
It will be necessary to cut wall studs, install headers,
and construct a sill frame to maintain the proper
dimensions and to support the weight of the brick.
The bricks must be solid brick with a minimum of 3 ½
inches thick (nominal 4”/ 102 mm).
Refractory mortar must be used at the junction of the
chimney and the pass-through liner.The pass-through
liner must not penetrate the chimney liner beyond the
inner surface of the chimney liner. Use extreme care
when constructing the hole in the chimney liner as the
tiles can shatter easily.
In Canada
The installation must conform to CAN/CSA-B365,
Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burning Appliances and
Equipment. Before proceeding be sure to consult your
local building inspector.
Common Method:
This method requires the removal of all combustible
materials from at least 18” (45.7 cm) around the
chimney connector’s proposed location. A 6” round
liner requires a minimum opening 43” x 43” (109.2 x
109.2) square.
Locate the pass-through at least 18”from combustible
ceiling materials.
The space that is cleared of combustible materials
must remain empty. Sheet metal panels can be used
to cover the area. However, when using a panel on
both sides of the wall, each cover must be installed on
noncombustible spacers at least 1”from the wall.If one
panel of sheet metal is to be used it may be installed
flush to the wall.
See section 5.3.1 and 5.3.2 of CAN/CSA - B365-M91.
Consult your local building inspector, authorized Jøtul
Dealer, NFPA 211 in the U.S.or CAN/CSA-B635 in Canada
for other approved wall pass-through methods.

3.0 Connecting to the
Chimney
Masonry Chimney
When installing a Jøtul F 100 USA into a masonry
chimney through a “thimble” (the opening through
the chimney wall to the flue),the thimble must consist
of ceramic tile or steel and be securely cemented in
place.
The chimney connector/stove pipe must slide
completely inside the thimble to the inner surface or
the flue liner. It may be necessary to make use of a
thimble sleeve (a pipe with a slightly smaller diameter
than standard stove pipe). See figure 6.
The connector pipe or thimble sleeve must not protrude
into the flue liner or otherwise restrict draft.
Use refractory cement to seal the seam between the
chimney connector, sleeve, and thimble.
Do not connect this stove to a chimney flue servicing
another appliance of any kind.
Hearthmount into a Masonry Fireplace
The Jøtul F 100 USA may be installed into a masonry
fireplace with a minimum opening height of 22 1/2”
(572 mm).
Building code requires that the fireplace damper plate
be removed or securely fixed in the open position. A
connector pipe must then extend from the stove’s flue
exit through the damper area of the fireplace and into
the chimney tile liner. See figure 7.
The inside area of the flue liner must not be less than
the area of the stove flue collar and cannot be more
than three times greater than the cross sectional area
of the stove flue collar.
If the chimney liner is too large to accommodate the
stove, an approved relining system must be installed
to resize the flue.
A new sheet metal damper block-off plate must be
installed around the connector pipe at the damper
frame and sealed with the proper sealant (usually
High-Temp Silicone).

Prefabricated Chimneys
When connecting the Jøtul F 100 USA to a prefabricated
metal chimney always follow the pipe manufacturer’s
instructions and be sure to use the components that are
required.This usually includes a “smoke pipe adapter”
that is secured to the bottom section of the metal
chimney and allows the chimney pipe to be secured to
it with two sheet metal screws. See figure 8.
4.0 Clearance to
Combustibles
Floor Protection
The Jøtul F 100 USA requires one of the following forms
of hearth protection:
1. Any UL, ULC orWH listed hearth board.(No bottom
heat shield required).
2. Any noncombustible material with use of the
bottom heat shield.
All forms of protection must include a noncombustible
surface extending forward from the glass panel at least
16” for the U.S., or 18” (46cm) for Canada. Protection
must extend 8”(21 cm) from the sides and rear for both:
the U.S. and Canada.
This will result in a minimum floor protection of 37”
W x 38” D for the U.S. or 37”W x 40”D for Canada. See
figure 9.
In a rear vent installation,the floor protection must also
extend under the stove pipe a minimum of 2” (5 cm)
beyond either side of the pipe. See figure 9.
Clearances to Walls and Ceilings
The clearances listed and diagramed in this manual
have been tested to UL and ULC standards and are
the minimum clearances to combustible materials
specifically established for the Jøtul F 100 USA.

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 noncombustible
materials.
If you are not sure of the combustible nature of a
material, consult your local fire officials.
Remember: “Fire Resistant” materials are considered
combustible; they are difficult to ignite, but will
burn. Also “Fire-rated” sheet rock is also considered
combustible.
Contact your local building officials about restrictions
and installation requirements in your area.
See pages12-13 for complete clearance requirements
and diagrams.
Using Shields to Reduce Clearances
Chimney Connector Heat Shields: Use only connector
heat shielding listed for use with solid fuel heaters.
The connector heat shield must begin 1” above the
lowest exposed point of the connector pipe and extend
vertically a minimum of 25” (640 cm) above the top
surface of the stove.
Double Wall Connector: Listed double wall pipe is an
acceptable alternative to connector pipe heat shields.
When using double wall connector, Flue Collar Heat
Shield Kit 154996 must be installed on the stove.
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.
Notice:Many manufacturers havedevelopedwoodstove
accessories that permit clearance reduction. Use
only those accessories that have been tested by an
independent laboratory and carry the laboratory’s
testing mark. Be sure to follow all of the manufacturer’s
instructions.

5.0 Operation
Please read the following section before building a fire
in your new Jøtul F 100 USA.
Use Solid Wood Fuel Only
First this stove is designed to burn natural wood only.
Wood that has been air-dried for a period of 6 to 14
months will provide the cleanest, most efficient heat.
Do not burn:
• Coal • Treated or painted wood
• Garbage • Chemical Chimney cleaners
• Cardboard • Colored paper
• Solvents • Any synthetic fuel or logs
• Drift wood • Laminated wood
The burning of any of these materials can result in the
release of toxic fumes. Never use gasoline, gasoline-
type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or
similar liquids to start or “freshen-up” the fire. Always
keep such liquids away from the heater at all times.
Important: Never build or allow the fire to rest directly
on the glass panels. The logs should always be spaced
at least one inch from the glass to allow for proper air
flow within the firebox.
Figure 13. Slide the Air Control Lever to the right to increase
combustion air and to the left to decrease combustion air.
Controls on the Jøtul F 100 USA
Combustion air is controlled by the Primary Air Lever,
located above the Loading Door. The lever actuates a
shutter over the air inlet which regulates the volume
of primary air entering the firebox and controls heat
output and burn time. See fig. 13.
When first starting or reviving the fire: the primary
control lever should be at the far right position, which
allows the maximum amount of air into the stove.The
greater the amount of air entering the stove,the hotter
and faster the fire will burn.
Moving the lever to the left reduces the airflow into the
stove which prolongs the fire at a lower heat output.
Air Flow / Performance
Primary air enters the firebox directly above the glass
panel on the door.The incoming air creates a turbulent
barrier or “airwash” between the glass and the fire.
Reducing the flow of primary air directly reduces
the effectiveness of the airwash. Determining the
primary air setting for the best overall performance
for your particular needs and installation will best be
established over time through trial and error.
Break-In Procedure
The Jøtul F 100 USA is constructed of cast iron and high
temperature furnace cement. This type of construction
requires the stove to be “broken-in” gradually so that
heat expansion does not occur too quickly and cause
damage.The following steps describe the proper break-
in procedure for the Jøtul F 100 USA. Use a magnetic
stove-top thermometer to monitor stove temperature,
placed directly on the top plate.
1 Light a small fire of newspaper and kindling.
Only allowthe stove to reach a maximum surface
temperature of 200°F (93° C). Burn for approximately
1 hour.
2 Allow the stove to cool to room temperature.
3 Light a second fire, allowing the stove to reach a
maximum temperature of 300°F (149°C) for 1 hour.
4 Cool the stove to room temperature.
5 Light a third fire and gradually allow the stove to
reach a surface temperature of 400°F (204°C)
6 Cool stove to room temperature.This completes the
“break-in” procedure.
Note: If the temperature exceeds the limit during any
break-in fire, move the primary air control lever all the
way to the left to shut off the air supply completely. It
is normal that the stove top temperature will continue
to climb until the fuel burns down somewhat. Once
the fire is out and the stove has cooled to room
temperature, continue the break-in procedure. Never
attempt to reduce the temperature by removing
burning logs from the fire.

Breakin Odors: It is normal for a new painted stove to
emit odor and smoke during the first few fires. This
is caused by curing of the high temperature paint
and will diminish with each fire. Open a window or
door to provide additional ventilation to alleviate this
condition.
Enamel Stove: You may notice moisture condensation
on the surface ot he stove during the first few fires.
To avoid permanent spotting of the surface, use a soft
towel to wipe the moisture away.
Starting and Maintaining a Fire
Burn only solid wood directly on the bottom grate of
the stove. Do not elevate the fire in any way.
1. With the primary air control lever in the full open
position (to the right), start with several sheets of
crumbled newspaper placed directly on the grate.
On top of the newspaper, place several pieces of
small dry kindling (approx.1”in diameter) with two
to three larger logs (approx. 3”to 5”in diameter) on
top.
2. Light the fire and close the door, slowly building
the fire by adding larger and larger logs. Be sure to
follow the break-in procedure before creating a hot
fire that might damage the stove.
3. Once the stove has reached a surface temperature
range of between 400° and 600°, (204°C -316°C),
adjust the primary air control lever as necessary to
generate the heat output and burn time desired.
We recommend use of a magnetic stove top
thermometer to monitor the surface temperature
of the stove. The optimum surface temperature
range for the most efficient burn is between 400°
and 600° (204°C -316°C).
You can also monitor stove performance through
the window. Peak combustion efficiency occurs
when exhaust gas is burned at the baffle in the
top of the firebox. This is apparent as yellow
flames appearing at the secondary air ports in the
underside of the baffle plate.
Never overfire the stove. If any part of the stove or
chimney glows, you are overfiring. A house fire or
serious damage to the stove or chimney could result.
If this condition occurs, immediately close the air
control.
Adding Fuel
When reloading the stove while it is still hot and a
bed of hot embers still exist, follow this reloading
procedure:
• Always wear gloves when tending to the stove.
• Push the air control lever to the full open position
(far right).
• Wait a few seconds before opening the door.
• Use a stove tool or poker to distribute the hot
embers equally around the firebox.
• Load the fuel, usually with smaller logs first.
• Close the door, be sure to latch the door tightly.
• Wait 5 – 10 minutes before adjusting the primary air
to the desired heat output setting. (If you have at
least a 2”thick ember bed when reloading, it may be
possible to close the door and immediately adjust
the air control setting).
Creosote and Soot Formation and
the Need for Removal
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other
organic vapors which combine with expelled moisture
to form creosote. These creosote vapors condense in
the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow burning fire.
The creosote that accumulates in the flue is highly
flammable and is the fuel of chimney fires. To prevent
a chimney fire, the creosote needs to be removed
by sweeping the chimney and flue connector. The
frequency of sweeping will depend on how you operate
your stove, but it is important to inspect the flue after
every two weeks of use. An accumulation of 1/4” or
more on the sides of the flue or connector is considered
hazardous and should be removed.
In the event that creosote in your chimney or
flue connector ignites, the resulting fire is often
accompanied by a roaring noise and a crackling sound
as flakes of burned creosote break loose.lf you suspect
you are having a chimney fire, immediately close the
draft regulator and make sure the stove door is closed.
Call the fire department and get everyone safely out
of the house.
Trying to extinguish the fire in the stove will not help.In
fact it can make the matter worse by allowing oxygen
through the door, which then supports the fire in the
chimney.When the roaring and crackling has stopped,
you should resist the temptation to open the door and
look at the fire.The fire may have suffocated,but could
rekindle when you open the door. After a chimney fire,
do not use your stove until the chimney and the flue
connector has been cleaned and inspected to ensure
that no damage has been sustained.

Glass Removal or Replacement
The glass may be removed with the door in place.
1. Hold the glass in place while you remove the glass
clips from the inside of the door.Lift the glass panel
off of the two bottom tabs in the door.
2. Center the new glass panel over the gasket and
reinstall the glass clips. See figure 14.
3. It may be necessary to retighten the glass clips after
the stove has be burned and the gasketing has
been seated.
Important: It is extremely important to tighten the
glass clips gradually and alternately. Uneven or too
great pressure can damage the glass.
Figure 14. Glass and Gasket Replacement
Chimney System
The Jøtul F 100 is designed to burn cleanly and
efficiently when used according to the guidelines in this
manual. In order to maintain proper performance,you
should inspect the chimney and chimney connector at
the beginning of each heating season and then, twice
a month during the heating season.Clean the chimney
whenever creosote and fly ash accumulation exceeds
1/4 inch in any part of the system.
Chimney brushes are available from your local Jøtul
dealer or hardware supply store. Your dealer can also
refer you to a reputable, professional chimney sweep
who will have all the equipment to ensure a complete
and proper job. Failure to keep the chimney system
free of creosote and build up could result in a serious
chimney fire.

6.0 Maintenance
Ash Removal
Ash removal will be required periodically, depending
on how frequently the stove is used. Avoid letting
the ash accumulate to spill over the Ash Fettle. For
your protection, always wear safety gloves when
handling the ashes. Use an ash shovel to remove the
accumulation from the bottom of the firebox. The
Fettle may be lifted from the front of the firebox to
aid in ash removal.
Ashes should only be placed in a metal container
equipped with a tight sealing lid.The container should
be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground,
well away from all combustible materials, pending
final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial
in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should
be kept in the closed container until all cinders have
thoroughly cooled.
Glass Care
Cleaning
On occasion it will be necessary to clean the carbon
deposits and fly ash off of the glass. If the carbon
and fly ash are allowed to remain on the glass for
an extended period of time it could eventually cause
the glass to become etched and cloudy. Any creosote
that might develop on the glass will burn off during
the next hot fire.
Follow this cleaning procedure:
1. Glass needs to be completely cool.
2. Only use a cleaner that is specifically designed for
this purpose. The use of abrasives will damage the
glass and ultimately leave the glass frosted.
3. Rinse and dry glass completely before burning the
stove.
Caution! Always operate the door slowly and carefully
to avoid cracking or breaking the glass. Never use
the door to push wood into the firebox. If the glass
becomes cracked or broken follow the replacement
procedure below.
Never operate the stove with a cracked or broken
glass panel.
Important: Replace glass only with ceramic glass panel
specifically designed for the Jøtul F100. Do not use
substitutes. Replacement glass is available from your
local Jøtul dealer.

7.0 General Maintenance
As with your car, regular maintenance will prolong
the life of your stove and ensure satisfactory
performance.
• Enamel Care:
DONOTATTEMPTTOCLEANHOTENAMEL SURFACES.
Clean only cold enamel surfaces with a soft damp
cloth and polish with a clean dry cloth.
DO NOT USE SOAPY OR ABRASIVE SOLUTIONS.These
can cause stains.Coffee,tea,and fruit juices will also
cause stains.
• Avoid contact with metal objects.Trivets,kettles, or
pots, can damage the enamel.
• Empty stove of all soot and ashes. Only use a
vacuum for this job if the vacuum is specifically
designed for ashes.
• Inspect the stove seams.Use a utility light to inspect
the stove inside and out for cracks or leaks. Replace
all cracked parts and repair any cement leaks with
furnace cement.
Gaskets
Check door and glass panel gaskets for tightness. To
check the seal of the front door, close and latch the
door on a dollar bill and slowly try to pull the dollar
bill free.You should feel resistance as you pull. If it can
be easily removed, the seal is too loose. Check several
spots around the door.
Gasket Replacement
1. Use pliers and a putty knife to remove the old gasket
from the door.
2. Thoroughly clean the channel with a wire brush.
3. Apply a small bead of cement to the channel.
4. Gently press the new gasket into the cement to
seat it in the channel. Close and latch the door and
then reopen. Wipe away any excess cement that
may have squeezed out from around the gasket.

Stove-Top Thermometer (# 5002)
Jøtul recommends the use of a magnetic stove-top
thermometer to monitor the surface temperature of
the stove.
The optimum surface temperature range for the most
efficient performance is 4000F - 6000F (2050C - 3160C).
Flue Collar Heat Shield (# 154996)
This unobtrusive heat shield must be installed on
stoves using double wall chimney connector to
provide additional protection to combustible materials
from heat radiating from the flue collar of the stove.
The insulating properties of double wall pipe result
in higher flue temperatures in this area than are
generated in single wall connectors.
