Installation

COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY

For a mobile home installation, the stove must be

connected to an outside source of combustion air. A

2” inside diameter metallic pipe, either exible or rigid,

may be attached to the inlet at the stove’s rear (refer

to gure 3). A rodent guard (minimum 1/4” wire mesh)

wind hood must be used at the terminus (refer to gure

4). All connections must be secured and airtight by

either using the appropriately sized hose clamp and/or

UL-181-AP foil tape.

For mobile home installations only: 2” inside diameter

pipe may be used for the rst 5 feet of combustion air

supply run. From 5 to 10 feet, use 2 3/4” inside diameter

pipe. No combustion air supply may exceed 10 feet.

Sources of Outside Combustion Air

a. In replaces

• Chimney top.

• Ash clean out door.

b. For freestanding installations

• A hole in oor near stove rear terminating only

a ventilated crawl space.

• A hole in the wall behind the stove.

WHEN OUTSIDE AIR IS NOT USED

If outside air is not used, it is important that combustion

air is easily available to the air inlet. A closeable outside

air register can be used in tightly insulated homes.

IMPORTANCE OF PROPER DRAFT

Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance

up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your

chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local

geography, nearby obstructions and other factors. Too

much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the

appliance. Inadequate draft may cause backpufng

into the room and ‘plugging’ of the chimney.

Inadequate draft will cause the appliance to leak

smoke into the room through appliance and chimney

connector joints.

An uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature

indicates excessive draft.

Take into account the chimney’s location to insure it

is not too close to neighbors or in a valley which may

cause unhealthy or nuisance conditions.

VENTING

This unit is certied for use with listed TYPE L-Vent,

3” or 4” diameter in size. The stove was tested with

Simpson Duravent brand. CLass “A” chimney is not

required. Refer to the instructions provided by the vent

manufacturer, especially when passing through a wall,

ceiling or roof.

This is a pressurized exhaust system. All vent connector

joints must be sealed with 500oF (260oC) RTV silicone

sealant to ensure consistent performance and avoid

smoke spillage. All horizontal connector joints must

be sealed with UL-181-AP foil tape. All vertical vent

connector joints are required to be secured with a

minimum of 3 screws.

DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE

SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST

VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.

INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE VENT

MANUFACTURER.

The chimney connector shall not pass through an

attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed space,

or a oor, or ceiling. Where passage though a wall, or

partition of combustible construction is desired, the

installation shall conform to CAN/CSA-B365, Installation

Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and Equipment
