Installation
These connectors must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Use only specified components. The chimney and pipe must extend at least 10 feet (2.4 m) above the stove and 3 feet (0.9 m) above the highest point of the roof. Install a rain cap with spark arrestor at the top that will not impede the smoke exhaust. The chimney must be supported at the ceiling or roof so that its weight will not sit on the stove. Seal with silicone to maintain vapor barrier at the chimney and outside air penetrations.
CAUTION: THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MOBILE HOME FLOOR, WALL, AND CEILING/ROOF MUST BE MAINTAINED.
OUTSIDE AIR :
Connection from the stoves air intake to the outside is mandatory, (MOBILE HOMES ONLY) either through a hole in the wall not higher than the stoves bottom or through a hole in the floor beneath the pedestal, using the fresh air adaptor provided. If the air intake is through the floor, the hole in the pedestal back must be closed with the sheet metal cover provided. Avoid cutting any floor joists, wall studs, electrical wiring or plumbing. Seal around the outside air pipe with insulation to prevent drafts. Also install a 1⁄4” mesh rodent or pest screen in the end of
Fresh air could also be supplied from a vented crawlspace.

The pedestal must be firmly bolted to the floor using two (2) 1⁄4” bolts. Be sure to replace any insulation or panels removed when fastening the bottom nuts.
If room air starvation occurs because the air intake is blocked with ice, leaves etc. or because the stove door was left open, or due to a strong exhaust fan operating, dangerous fumes could be sucked into the room.
IN SOME AREAS IT MAY BE REQUIRED TO ELECTRICALLY GROUND THE STOVE TO THE STEEL CHASSIS OF THE MOBILE HOME.
When this unit is installed in a Mobile Home it must be grounded to the steel chassis or connected to a grounding rod.
