PIPE INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Use only listed type "PL" pellet vent pipe. Pipe should
extend at least 3 feet above the part of the roof through
which it passes. The top of the pipe should be at least 2
feet above the highest required elevation of any part of
the manufactured (mobile) home within 10 feet of the
pipe.
If the exhaust vent exits the manufactured (mobile)
home at a location other than the roof, and exits at a
point 7 feet or less above the ground level on which the
manufactured (mobile) home is positioned. A guard or
method of enclosing the pipe shall be provided at the
point of exit for a height of up to 7 feet. The openings, if
any, in this guard shall not allow a 3/4" rod to pass
through. A 1/2" rod could pass through but should not
be able to touch the pipe when inserted through the
opening a distance of 4 inches.
