OUTSIDE AIR SUPPLY
(OPTIONAL, UNLESS INSTALLING IN A MOBILE HOME)
Depending on your location and home construction, outside air may be necessary for optimal performance.
Metal pipe (solid or flexible) must be used for the outside air installation. PVC pipe is NOT approved and should
NEVER be used.
A wind shield over the termination of the outside air pipe or a 90-degree elbow or bend away from the prevailing
winds MUST be used when an outside air pipe is installed through the side of a building. The outside air termination
MUST be at least 1ft (0.305m) away from the exhaust system termination.
The outside air pipe on your heater is 2” (50.8mm) OD. The outside air connecting pipe must be at least 2”
(50.8mm) ID. The outside air connection used MUST NOT restrict the amount of air available to your heater. The
outside air connecting pipe must be as short and free of bends as possible, and it must fit over, not inside, the
outside air connection to the heater.
NOTE:
Dimensions from the floor to your stoves
inlet/exhaust pipes are approximate and may
vary depending on your installation.

Mobile home installation should be done in accordance
with the Manufactured Home and Safety Standard
(HUD), CFR 3280, Part 24. Canadian installations require
that the heater must be connected to a 3 or 4 inch,
factory-built chimney conforming to CAN/ULC-S629. See
the installation illustrations in this manual for minimum
height above the roof. The chimney installation must
allow for removal in case of mobile home transportation,
especially outside connections. You may contact your
local building authority or person having jurisdiction on
height restrictions.
In order for this unit to be installed in a mobile home the
following criteria must be met:
•
The unit must be secured to the floor using lag bolts in
the holes provided in the pedestal base.
•
Ensure that the unit is permanently electrically
grounded to the chassis of your home with 18 gauge
copper wire.
•
All exhaust systems must have a spark arrestor.
IT IS MANDATORY TO TAKE THE COMBUSTION AIR FROM
THE OUTSIDE WHEN INSTALLING THIS UNIT IN AIR TIGHT OR
MANUFACTURED/MOBILE HOMES.
CAUTION:
The structural integrity of the manufactured
home floor, wall, and ceiling/roof must be maintained.
Make sure to maintain an effective vapor barrier by sealing
with silicone where the chimney or other components
penetrate to the exterior of the structure. Refer to and
follow the chimney manufacturer’s installation instructions.
WARNING:
Do not install in sleeping room.
NOTE:
Only the free standing model is
approved for installation into a mobile home.
