6Mobile 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 protec- tion requirements on page 9 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 the exterior of the structure.

7.Follow the chimney manufacturer’s instructions when installing the vent system for use in a mobile home.
