It is mandatory to use outside air for installations in mobile homes.
A 4" (10.2 cm) fresh air adaptor kit is available. This adaptor can be
installed either on the back pedestal or through the floor under the
pedestal. The cover plate must be installed on the unit if your stove is
located in a mobile home or if using outside air from the bottom.
Place the ¼" mesh screen between the fresh air adaptor and the body of
the pedestal (as shown to right).
NOTE: Fresh air connection to the unit must be a non-combustible pipe,
example: 4" (10.2 cm) single wall aluminum flex pipe.
NOTE: Remove the cover plate on the rear of the pedestal if room air is to be used for combustion air.

The minimum flue pipe height at sea level is 12 feet (3.7 m) straight up from top of the unit. For every
1000 feet (305 m) above sea level, 4% could be added to the overall height. Use Tables 14, 15, and 16
to calculate the required vertical rise required.

We recommend the use of a 6" (150mm) diameter flue pipe. However, the CSA-B365 and the WETT
Training Manual state that the flue pipe may be reduced in cross-sectional area provided that the installer
ensures sufficient draft is available at the appliance.
