Mobile Home Installation

H. Mobile Home Installation
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 stove 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.
2. The appliance must be secured to the mobile home
structure by bolting it to the floor.
3. Stove must be grounded with #8 solid copper grounding
wire or equivalent and terminated at each end with
N.E.C. approved grounding device.
4. Stove must be installed with an approved UL103 HT
ventilated chimney connector, UL103 HT chimney and
terminal cap with spark arrestor. Never use a single wall
connector (stove pipe) in a mobile home installation. Use
only double-wall connector pipe, Dura-Vent DVL, Selkirk
metalbestos DS, Security DL double wall connector or
any listed double wall pipe connector.
5. Refer to the clearance charts in this manual or the serial
number label on the back of the stove for clearances to
combustibles.
6. Floor protection requirements must be followed precisely.
Refer to the "Floor Protection" section in this manual.
7. In Canada, this appliance must be connected to a 6 inch
(152 mm) factory-built chimney conforming to CAN/ULC
629M, STANDARD FOR FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEYS.
Refer to the "Floor Protection" section in this manual.
8. Use silicone to create an effective vapor barrier at
the location where the chimney or other component
penetrates to the exterior of the structure.
9. Follow the chimney
manufacturer's instructions when installing the flue
system for use in a mobile home.
NOTE: Offsets from the vertical, not exceeding 45°, are
allowed per Section 905(a) of the Uniform Mechanical Code
(UMC). Offsets greater than 45° are considered horizontal
and are also allowed, providing the horizontal run does not
exceed 75% of the vertical height of the vent. Construction,
clearance and termination must be in compliance with the
UMC Table 9C. This installation also complies with NFPA
211.
NOTE: Top sections of the chimney must be removable to
allow maximum clearance of 13.5 ft. (411 cm) from ground
level for transportation purposes.
10. Burn wood only. Other types of fuels may generate
poisonous gases (e.g. carbon monoxide).
11. If unit burns poorly while exhaust blower is on in home,
(i.e. kitchen range hood) increase combustion air.
