    There are some special considerations when installing into a mobile or manufactured home. For model OC-10 (10” burner), the flue system must consist of a 6” diameter CLASS “A”, U.L. HT103 type insulated chimney, and a double-wall stove pipe connector.

    The air duct does not need to connect directly to the stove as the duct may terminate at the hearth top level. If air is accessed through the wall, remove the air cover at the stove pedestal back, and install a 4” or larger duct connecting the stove pedestal and the wall. A storm or dryer type vent with a screen is adequate.

    An insulated chimney is a must in order to maintain the heat inside the chimney for proper flow of gases. For model OC-10, use a class “A”, 6” diameter, all-fuel insulated chimney that has been tested to U.L. HT103 when passing through combustibles. For models OC-7 and OC-8, a 4”, 5”, or 6”...

    To provide correct pressure of the fuel supply to your stove, the tank outlet should be between 16” and 72” above the carburetor on the stove. Do not exceed 72” above the carburetor as excessive head pressure could limit the carburetor’s ability to shut off fuel flow. Be sure the support system under the tank is safe and adequate as a full 300 gallon tank will weigh about 2000 lb.
  • Page 6 At this point a pressure check should be made, and the draft stabilizer adjusted to within the recommended pressure setting range (see draft pressure chart on page 7). 8. Run the stove for at least 30 minutes on low or medium to allow the whole stove and chimney to come up to operation temperature.
  • Page 7 With a suitable manometer, probe into the flue, adjust the weighted screw to where the pressure reading falls within the satisfactory operating range shown on the chart on the following page. If the flame or draft is too high (not enough air entering the draft stabilizer) the fire can flicker excessively and make a roaring noise.
