INSTALLATION
ATTENTION:
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.
SECURING APPLIANCE TO THE FLOOR
Use the designated holes to secure the unit to the
floor.
WARNING! DO NOT INSTALL IN SLEEPING
ROOM.
CAUTION! THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY
OF THE MOBILE HOME FLOOR, WALL, AND
CEILING/ROOF MUST BE MAINTAINED.
WHEN INSTALLED IN A MOBILE HOME, THE
STOVE MUST BE GROUNDED DIRECTLY TO THE
STEEL CHASSIS AND BOLTED TO THE FLOOR.
In addition to the previously detailed installation
requirements, mobile home installations must
meet the following requirements:
•
This stove must be securely fastened to the floor
of the mobile home using two 1/4” lag bolts that
are long enough to go through both a hearth pad,
if used, and the floor of the home.
•
The heater must be electrically grounded to the
steel chassis of the mobile home with 8 GA copper
wire using a serrated or star washer to penetrate
paint or protective coating to ensure grounding.
•
Vent must be 3 or 4-inch “PL” Vent and must
extend a minimum or 36” (914 mm) above the roof
line of the mobile home and must be installed
using a certified ceiling fire stop and rain cap.
•
When moving your mobile home, all exterior
venting must be removed while the mobile home
is being relocated. After relocation, all venting
must be reinstalled and securely fastened.
•
Outside Air is mandatory for mobile home
installation. See Outside Air Supply section and
your dealer for purchasing.
•
Check with your local building officials as other
codes may apply.
VENTING REQUIREMENTS
WARNING:
• INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED
BY THE VENT MANUFACTURER.
• DO NOT CONNECT THE PELLET VENT TO A
VENT SERVING ANY OTHER APPLIANCE OR
STOVE.
• DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE
EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.
The following installation guidelines must be
followed to ensure conformity with both the safety
listing of this stove and to local building codes. Do
not use makeshift methods or compromise in the
installation.
IMPORTANT:
THIS UNIT IS EQUIPPED WITH A NEGATIVE
DRAFT SYSTEM THAT PULLS AIR THROUGH
THE BURN POT AND PUSHES THE EXHAUST
OUT OF THE DWELLING. IF THIS UNIT IS
CONNECTED TO A FLUE SYSTEM OTHER THAN
THE WAY EXPLAINED IN THIS MANUAL, IT
WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY.
MAXIMUM VENTING DISTANCE
Installation MUST include at least 3-feet of vertical
pipe outside the home. This will create some natural
draft to reduce the possibility of smoke or odor
during appliance shutdown and keep exhaust from
causing a nuisance or hazard by exposing people
or shrubs to high temperatures. The maximum
recommend vertical venting height is 12-feet for
3-inch type “PL” vent. Total length of horizontal
vent must not exceed 4-feet. This could cause back
pressure. Use no more than 180 degrees of elbows
(two 90-degree elbows, or two 45-degree and one
90-degree elbow, etc.) to maintain adequate draft.
IMPORTANCE OF PROPER DRAFT
Draft is the force which moves air from the
appliance up through the chimney. The amount of
