Mobile Home Installation
Installations Into Zero-Clearance Fireplaces
in Mobile Homes (USA Only)
1. An outside air inlet must be provided for combustion and
must remain clear of leaves, debris, ice and/or snow.
It must be unrestricted while unit is in use to prevent
room air starvation which can cause smoke spillage
and an inability to maintain a fire. Smoke spillage can
also set off smoke alarms. See page 11 for detailed
information.
2. Appliance must be secured to the mobile home structure.
Drill a hole on each side of the insert into the outer
skin and into the floor. Use plumbers tape to secure to
structure (washers may be required).
. Appliance must be grounded with #8 solid copper
grounding wire or equivalent and terminated at each
end with N.E.C. approved grounding device.
. The factory-built fireplace must meet (UM)8-HUD
requirements for outside combustion air supply to the
fireplace fire chamber and the chimney must be listed to
UL10 HT or a listed UL 1777 full length 6 inch (15mm)
diameter liner must be used. It must be equipped with a
spark arrestor cap and the outside air must be installed
on the insert.
5. In Canada, this appliance must be connected to a
6 inch (152mm) factory-built chimney conforming to
CAN/ULC-S610, STANDARD FOR FACTORY BUILT
CHIMNEYS.
6. Follow the chimney and chimney connector
manufacturer's instructions when installing the flue
system for use in a mobile home.
7. Maintain clearance to combustibles.
8. Floor protection requirements must be followed
precisely.
9. Use silicone to create an effective vapor barrier at
the location where the chimney or other component
penetrates to the exterior of the structure.
10. Burn wood only. Other types of fuels may generate
poisonous gases (e.g., carbon monoxide).
11. If unit burns poorly while an exhaust blower is on in
home, (i.e., range hood), increase combustion air.
NOTE: Top sections of chimney must be removable to allow
maximum clearance of 13.5 feet (411cm) from ground level
for transportation purposes.
