ADDITIONAL MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS:
In addition to standard installation instructions, the following requirements are mandatory for
installation in a mobile home.
•
The stove must be permanently bolted to the floor of the mobile home using screws. Once
you have properly marked the position of your stove and the floor protection as outlined in
the installation instructions, secure it to the floor using two lag bolts 1/4" x 3" through the
two holes in the pedestal base just inside, near the front of the two side access panels.
•
The stove must have a permanent outside air source for combustion as outlined in the
installation instructions.
•
The stove must be electrically grounded to the steel chassis of the mobile home. Use a #8
ground wire with approved termination and star washer.
•
The stove must be installed with a listed pellet stove venting system, roof thimble, spark
arrestor and roof flashing kit suitable for use in mobile homes.
•
The vent shall extend at least 3 ft. (914mm) above the part of the roof through which it
passes. The top of the vent should project at least 2ft. (610mm) above the highest
elevation of any part of the mobile home within 10 ft. (3048mm) of the vent. Top sections
of chimney must be removable to allow maximum clearance of 13.5 ft. (411cm) from
ground level for transportation purposes.
CAUTION: THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MOBILE HOME ROOF, FLOOR,
WALLS AND CEILING MUST BE MAINTAINED. Also maintain the integrity of
the vapor barrier at the location where the chimney or other component
penetrates the exterior of the structure.
WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL THE STOVE IN A SLEEPING ROOM OF A MOBILE HOME.
Never draw outside combustion air from a wall, floor or ceiling cavity or
from any enclosed space such as a garage, carport or under a mobile home.
Check any other local building code as other local codes may apply.
