Then slide the flex pipe over the air intake tube of the
stove. Next tighten the hose clamp over the end of the
aluminium flex hose.
FOR USE IN MOBILE HOMES (U.S. ONLY)
• WARNING! DO NOT INSTALL IN SLEEPING
ROOM.
• CAUTION! THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY
OF THE MOBILE HOME FLOOR, WALL, AND
CEILING/ROOF MUST BE MAINTAINED.
• INSTALL IN ACCORDANCE WITH 24 CFR, PART
3280 (HUD).
• THE STOVE MUST BE ATTACHED TO THE
STRUCTURE OF THE MOBILE HOME.
SECURING APPLIANCE’S ON A PEDESTAL
TO THE FLOOR
Use the designated holes to secure the unit to the floor.
In addition to the previously detailed installation
requirements, 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.
CHIMNEY CONNECTOR (STOVE PIPE)
Your chimney connector and chimney must have the
same diameter as the stove outlet (6”). If this is not the
case, we recommend you contact your dealer in order
to ensure there will be no problem with the draft. The
stove pipe must be made of aluminized or cold roll steel
with a minimum thickness of 0.021” or 0.53 mm. It is
strictly forbidden to use galvanized steel. Your smoke
pipe should be assembled in such a way that the male
section (crimped end) of the pipe faces down. Attach
each section to another with three metal screws spaced
an equal distance apart. The pipe must be short and
straight. All sections installed horizontally must slope at
least 1/4 inch per foot, with the upper end of the section
toward the chimney. Any installation with a horizontal
run of chimney pipe must conform to NFPA 211. To
ensure a good draft, the total length of the coupling pipe
should never exceed 8’ to 10’ (2.4m to 3.04 m). Except
for cases of vertical installation, cathedral-roof style
where the smoke exhaust system can be much longer
and connected without problem to the chimney at the
ceiling of the room. There should never be more than two
90° elbows in the smoke exhaust system. Installation
of a “barometric draft stabilizer” (fireplace register) on
a smoke exhaust system is prohibited. Furthermore,
installation of a draft damper is not recommended.
Indeed, with a controlled combustion wood stove, the
draft is regulated upon intake of the combustion air in the
stove and not at the exhaust.

IMPORTANCE OF PROPER DRAFT
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance
up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your
chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local
geography, nearby obstructions and other factors. Too
much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the
appliance. Inadequate draft may cause backpuffing into
the room and ‘plugging’ of the chimney. Inadequate draft
will cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room
through appliance and chimney connector joints. An
uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature indicates
excessive draft.
