Mobile Home Installation
You must use a Quadra-Fire Outside Air Kit for
installation in a mobile home.
1. An outside air inlet must be provided for the
combustion air and must remain clear of leaves, debris,
ice and/or snow. It must be unrestricted while the
appliance is in use to prevent room air starvation which
causes smoke spillage. Smoke spillage can also set off
smoke alarms.
2. The combustion air duct system must be made of
metal. It must permit zero clearance to combustible
construction and prevent material from dropping into
the inlet or into the area beneath the dwelling and
contain a rodent screen.
3. The appliance must be secured to the mobile home
structure by bolting it to the floor (using lag bolts).
Use the same holes that secured the appliance to the
shipping pallet.
4. The appliance must be grounded with #8 solid copper
grounding wire or equivalent, terminated at each end
with an NEC approved grounding device.
5. Refer to Clearances to Combustibles and floor
protection requirements on page 8 for listings to
combustibles and appropriate chimney systems.
6. Use silicone to create an effective vapor barrier at
the location where the chimney or other component
penetrates to the exterior of the structure.
7.
Follow the chimney manufacturer’s instructions when
installing the vent system for use in a mobile home.
8. Installation shall be in accordance with the
Manufacturers Home & Safety Standard (HUD) CFR
3280, Part 24.
