MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION
WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL IN SLEEPING ROOM OR BEDROOM.
CAUTION: The structural integrity of the mobile home floor, wall, and ceiling/roof must be
maintained
. To conform to UL and/or standards and applicable building codes, mobile home installations
require certain methods and components not necessary for residential installations. Briarwood II Stoves
have been tested and listed for these requirements with the use of the correct components and methods,
herein described. Starvation of air can cause smoke spillage into your home which can be harmful to your
health. Make sure that there is adequate ventilation.
The additional requirements for mobile home installations are:
1.
In Canada:
Any 6” ULC-629 listed chimney system with the accompanying double wall vent connector.
2.
In U.S.A.:
Any 6”HT-103 listed chimney system with the accompanying double wall vent connector.
3. Use only one brand of listed double wall with same brand of double wall connector.
4. Use Outside Combustion Air Kit as required in all mobile home installations.
5. Use Spark arrestor type chimney caps as required on mobile home stoves. Caps must be secured to the chimney.
6. The stove must be anchored or secured to the floor of the mobile home.
7. The chimney must pass at least 3 feet above the part of the roof through which it passes.
8. To provide adequate combustion air, ducting is required directly from the outside to the connection point of the
stove or under the pedestal.
9. Grounding of this unit is required. The anchoring and grounding kit provides the pieces to attach the ground wire.
10. Installation requirements for mobile homes are in addition to residential requirements.
GROUNDING
The stove must be electrically grounded to the frame of the mobile home with a number eight copper conductor,
regardless of whether or not the fan is used. Attach the grounding wire to one of the screws on the rear of the base of
the stove. Always use a star lock washer to ensure a good electrical connection between the ground wire and the
stove.
CHIMNEY HEIGHT
The chimney system must have a section joint so that any parts extending over 13 feet, 6 inches above ground level
can be removed when transporting the mobile structure. Care must be taken when dissembling so no hidden joints are
loosened to allow flue emissions to enter the mobile structure when it is reassembled and placed in operation.
OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR
The floor duct for mobile homes can also be used for residential installations. Make sure the space below the stove
will permit penetration of the floor duct. Take note of the air inlet location at the base of the stove and mark the exact
location on the floor where the floor duct will penetrate. Cut a 6 inch diameter opening in the floor and install the floor
duct using the screws provided
CAUTION: The air duct must not destroy the integrity of the space through which it passes AND
MUST ALWAYS REMAIN OPEN. In locations where snow might cut off the air supply, a provision
must be added to prevent such an occurrence; e.g. extending the floor duct to a height above the
snow level.
FLOOR PROTECTOR
Floor protection may be any non-combustible material or Listed Floor Protector. It must extend at least 18” in front of
the loading door opening. It must extend 8 inches beyond the sides of the door
opening, or 5 inches beyond the side of the stove top and inline with the rear of the
stove. Position the floor protector so that no heating ducts are covered. Make sure
the hole in the floor protector matches the hole in the floor. NOTE: Reseal any area of
the vapor barrier that has been penetrated. (Also see Page 12)
ATTACHING STOVE TO FLOOR
Position the stove on the floor protector so that the minimum clearances are met. Drill
down through the holes in the base of the stove, penetrating both the floor protector
and the floor of the home. Then, place two lag screws through the holes and fasten
them securely to the floor of the structure. Make sure the stove cannot shift or move.
