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 flexible or rigid, may be attached to the inlet at the stove’s rear 

(refer to figures 5 & 6). A rodent guard (minimum ¼” wire 

mesh)/wind hood must be used at the terminus (refer to figure 7). 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 first 5 feet of combustion air supply run. From 5 to 10 

feet use 2 ¾” inside diameter pipe. No combustion air supply may 

exceed 10 feet. 

Sources of Outside Combustion Air 

a.  In fireplaces 

 

Chimney top. 

 

Ash clean out door. 

b.  For freestanding installations 

 

A hole in floor near stove rear terminating only in a 

ventilated 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. In insert installations, flashing vents 

should not be restricted. The flashing should not necessarily seal the 

fireplace face. 

VENTING 

The Breckwell P24 Freestanding is certified for use with listed TYPE 

L-Vent, 3” or 4” diameter in size. The stove was tested with Simpson 

Duravent brand. Class “A” chimney is not required. Refer to the 

instructions provided by the vent manufacturer, especially when 

passing through a wall, ceiling or roof. 

This is a pressurized exhaust system. All vent connector joints must 

be sealed with 500

°

F (260

°

C) RTV silicone sealant to ensure 

consistent performance and avoid smoke spillage. All horizontal 

connector joints must be sealed with UL-181-AP foil tape. We 

recommend that all vertical vent connector joints be secured with a 

minimum of 3 screws. 

DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING 
ANOTHER APPLIANCE. 

DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST VENTING 
SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT. 

INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE VENT 
MANUFACTURER.
