MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION
Mobile home installation should be done in accordance with the Manufactured Home and Safety Standard (HUD), CFR 3280, Part 24. Canadian installations require that the heater must be connected to a 3 or 4 inch, factory‐built chimney conforming to CAN/ULC‐S629. See the installation illustrations in this manual for minimum height above the roof. U.S. Stove suggests the use of Selkirk’s Pellet Venting Products. Refer to their installation instructions for proper installation of the exhaust and combustion air intake. The chimney installation must allow for removal in case of mobile home transportation, especially outside connections. You may contact your local building authority or person having jurisdiction on height restrictions.
