OUTSIDE AIR SUPPLY
(OPTIONAL, UNLESS INSTALLING IN A MOBILE HOME)
Depending on your location and home construction, outside air
may be necessary for optimal performance.
Metal pipe (solid or flexible) must be used for the outside air
installation. PVC pipe is NOT approved and should NEVER be
used.
A wind shield over the termination of the outside air pipe or a
90-degree elbow or bend away from the prevailing winds MUST
be used when an outside air pipe is installed through the side of a
building. The outside air termination MUST be at least 1ft (0.305m)
away from the exhaust system termination.
The outside air pipe on your heater is 2" (50.8mm) OD. The outside
air connecting pipe must be at least 2" (50.8mm) ID. The outside
air connection used MUST NOT restrict the amount of air available
to your heater. The outside air connecting pipe must be as short
and free of bends as possible, and it must fit over, not inside, the
outside air connection to the heater.
NOTE: Dimensions from the floor to your stoves inlet/exhaust
pipes are approximate and may vary depending on your
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. 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.
In order for this unit to be installed in a mobile home the following
criteria must be met:
• The unit must be secured to the floor using lag bolts in the holes
provided in the pedestal base.
• Ensure that the unit is permanently electrically grounded to the
chassis of your home with 18 gauge copper wire.
• All exhaust systems must have a spark arrestor.
IT IS MANDATORY TO TAKE THE COMBUSTION AIR FROM THE OUTSIDE
WHEN INSTALLING THIS UNIT IN AIR TIGHT OR MANUFACTURED/MOBILE
HOMES.
CAUTION: The structural integrity of the manufactured home floor, wall, and ceiling/roof must be maintained.
Make sure to maintain an effective vapor barrier by sealing with silicone where the chimney or other components
penetrate to the exterior of the structure. Refer to and follow the chimney manufacturer's installation instructions.
WARNING: Do not install in sleeping room.
