Mobile Home
You must use a Quadra-Fire Outside Air Kit
for installation in a mobile home.
1. An outside air inlet must be provided for the combustion
air and must remain clear of leaves, debris, ice and/or
snow. It must be unrestricted while the appliance is
in use to prevent room air starvation which causes
smoke spillage. Smoke spillage can also set off smoke
alarms.
2. The combustion air duct system must be made of metal.
It must permit zero clearance to combustible construc-
tion and prevent material from dropping into the inlet or
into the area beneath the dwelling and contain a rodent
screen.
3. The appliance must be secured to the mobile home
structure by bolting it to the fl oor (using lag bolts).
Use the same holes that secured the appliance to the
shipping pallet.
4. The appliance must be grounded with #8 solid copper
grounding wire or equivalent, terminated at each end
with an NEC approved grounding device.
5. Refer to Clearances to Combustibles and fl oor pro-
tection requirements on pages 8 & 9 for listings to
combustibles and appropriate chimney systems.
6. Use silicone to create an effective vapor barrier at
the location where the chimney or other component
penetrates to the the exterior of the structure.
7. Follow the chimney manufacturer's instructions when
installing the vent system for use in a mobile home.
8. Installation shall be in accordance with the Manufactur-
ers Home & Safety Standard (HUD) CFR 3280, Part
24.
