The North Star Fireplace is approved for mobile home installations when not installed in a sleeping room and when an outside combustion air inlet is provided.

Outside Air must be installed in a mobile home installation.

This fireplace has been tested and listed for use with the SL-300 Series chimney and fireplace components listed on page 7.

Check with your local building code agency before you begin your installation to ensure compliance with local codes, including the need for permits and follow-up inspections.
