10 Mobile Home Installation

1.An outside air inlet must be provided for combustion and must remain clear of leaves, debris, ice and/or snow. It must be unrestricted while unit is in use to prevent room air starvation which can cause smoke spillage and an inability to maintain a ﬁ re. Smoke spillage can also set off smoke alarms.

2.Unit must be secured to the mobile home structure. Remove bolts from each side of insert and use plumbers tape to secure to structure (a washer may be required). Re-install bolts.

3.Unit must be grounded with #8 solid copper grounding wire or equivalent and terminated at each end with N.E.C. approved grounding device.

4.The factory-built fireplace must meet (UM)84-HUD requirements for outside combustion air supply to the ﬁ replace ﬁ re chamber and the chimney must be listed to UL103 HT or a listed UL-1777 full length six inch (152mm) diameter liner must be used. It must be equipped with a spark arrestor cap and the outside air must be installed on the insert.

5.Refer to page 30 of this manual for clearance to combustibles and ﬂ oor protections requirements. All clearances must be followed precisely.

6.Use silicone to create an effective vapor barrier at the location were the chimney or other component penetrates to the exterior of the structure.

7.Follow the chimney and chimney connector manufacturer’s instructions when installing the ﬂ ue system for use in a mobile home.

8.Burn wood only. Other types of fuels may generate poisonous gases (e.g., carbon monoxide).

9.If unit burns poorly while an exhaust blower is on in home, (i.e., range hood), increase combustion air.
