Mobile Home Installation

When installing a wood burning stove in your mobile home you must follow the same procedures and
regulations outlined in the sections "PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION - FREESTANDING " and
"FREESTANDING INSTALLATION - SPECIFICATIONS".
NOTE: You may not install a wood burning stove in the bedroom of a mobile home.
Follow the directions for installation according to the type of chimney installed (factory-built chimney with
either a standard ceiling, cathedral ceiling, or horizontal outside chimney). In addition to the normal

1. The stove must be permanently bolted to
the floor of the mobile home. (Some
states do not require this; check with
your local building department.)
2. The stove must have a permanent
outside air (combustion air) intake. The
Pedestal Option is equipped with
provisions for outside air. Please see
the instructions for the Outside Air Kit
and Outside Air Boot in the section
"FREESTANDING OPTIONAL
EQUIPMENT".
3. The stove must be grounded to the steel
chassis of the mobile home (Some
states do not require this; check with
your local building department).
4. The chimney connector must be reduced
clearance and meet the following
clearances:
A. Sidewall to unit........................ 16
B. Backwall to unit ....................... 10

D. Connector to sidewall ........... 27
