Older Jotul F400 (double door) and clearances

[PJF1313]

Hello again all...

I might have a chance to get an older F400 Castine (long story involving a heated divorce [NO pun intended]).
On the Jotul website, they have the "newer" single door manual and parts breakout, but not for the older. I've
searched, to no avail, and here, on Hearth, but came up empty. When Jotul went from a double door to a single,
did any of the clearances change? If all goes well, and I do get the stove, it would be a corner install.

On a install note, I have a question about clearances. On the North wall, I have hot water base board running
the length of the room. When I build the hearth and install a stove, do I also add in the depth of the base board
as a combustible? I would like the hearth to look "square", so if I have to add 3" to the North, I'll just add the
same to the West.

And thanks to Hogwildz, I have all my roofing and chimney questions answered. No matter what stove I get, it will
be a very basic "straight-up" install; stove, stove pipe, chimney support, chimney, (guy wires?) and rain cap.


Thanks again for ALL your help.

The hw baseboard should be considered a non-combustible.

The manual for the older (double-door) model can be gotten to from here:

Thanks BeGreen -

I wanted to hearth to athletically pleasing to the "Boss" She's still on the fence about a stove concept, but is listing a little toward the idea.



pmac -

Thank you for link! That will help out in the future also if I need parts, if I do get the stove.



From what I read between the two manuals, all the clearances are the same. The only difference is in the "front", door(s), glass(es) and the gaskets for the door.

I hope that this info will help someone else out in the future.


Have a happy and safe Turkey Day everyone.
