COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY

For a mobile home installation, the stove must be connected
to an outside source of combustion air. A 2" inside diameter
metallic pipe, either fl exible or rigid, may be attached to the inlet
at the stove's rear (refer to fi gure 3). A rodent guard (minimum
1/4" wire mesh) wind hood must be used at the terminus (refer
to fi gure 4). 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 installations only: 2" inside diameter pipe
may be used for the fi rst 5 feet of combustion air supply run.
From 5 to 10 feet, use 2 3/4" inside diameter pipe. No combus-
tion air supply may exceed 10 feet.
Sources of Outside Combustion Air
a. In fi replaces
Chimney top.
Ash clean out door.
b. For freestanding installations
A hole in fl oor near stove rear terminating only a ven-
tilated crawl space.
A hole in the wall behind the stove.

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.
