COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY

For a mobile home/transportable building installation,
the stove must be connected to an outside source of
combustion air. A 2" (51 mm) inside diameter metallic
pipe, either flexible or rigid, may be attached to the inlet
at the stove's rear. A rodent guard (minimum 1/4" (7 mm)
wire mesh) wind hood must be used at the terminus. All
connections must be secured and airtight by either using
the appropriately sized hose clamp and/or UL-181-AP foil
tape. For mobile home/transportable building installations

only: 2" (51 mm) inside diameter pipe may be used for the
first 5 feet of combustion air supply run. From 5 to 10 feet,
use 2-3/4" (70 mm) inside diameter pipe. No combustion
air supply may exceed 10 feet.
Sources of Outside Combustion Air
a. In fireplaces
• Chimney top.
• Ash clean out door.
b. For freestanding installations
• A hole in floor near stove rear terminating only a ventilated
crawl space.
• A hole in the wall behind the stove.

DO NOT VENT UNDER ANY PORCH, DECK, AWNING, OR
IN ANY SEMI ENCLOSED OR ROOFED AREA. DOING SO
MAY RESULT IN UNPREDICTABLE AIRFLOW AT THE VENT
CAP UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS AND CAN AFFECT
THE PERFORMANCE OF YOUR STOVE, AS WELL AS,
OTHER UNFORESEEABLE ISSUES.

WHEN OUTSIDE AIR IS NOT USED

If outside air is not used, it is important that combustion air
is easily available to the air inlet. A closeable outside air
register can be used in tightly insulated homes.

IMPORTANCE OF PROPER DRAFT

Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up
through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney
depends on the length of the chimney, local geography,
nearby obstructions and other factors. Too much draft may
cause excessive temperatures in the appliance. Inadequate
draft may cause backpuffing into the room and 'plugging'
of the chimney. Inadequate draft will cause the appliance to
leak smoke into the room through appliance and chimney
connector joints. An uncontrollable burn or excessive
temperature indicates excessive draft. Take into account the
chimney's location to ensure it is not too close to neighbours
or in a valley which may cause unhealthy or nuisance
conditions.
