6 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 flexible or rigid, may be attached to the inlet at the stove’s
rear (refer to figures 5 & 6). A rodent guard (minimum ¼” wire
mesh)/wind hood must be used at the terminus (refer to figure 7). 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 first 5 feet of combustion air supply run. From 5 to
10 feet use 2 ¾” inside diameter pipe. No combustion air supply
may exceed 10 feet.
Sources of Outside Combustion Air
a. In fireplaces
 Chimney top.
 Ash clean out door.
b. For freestanding installations
 A hole in floor near stove rear terminating only in 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. In insert installations, flashing vents
should not be restricted. The flashing should not necessarily seal
the fireplace face.
VENTING
The Ashley AP2000 is certified 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.
The Ashley AP2000 Insert is certified for use with listed TYPE L-
Vent, stainless steel single wall pipe, or stainless steel flex pipe 3”
or 4” diameter in size.
This is a pressurized exhaust system. All vent connector joints must
be sealed with 500F (260C) RTV silicone sealant to ensure
consistent performance and avoid smoke spillage. All horizontal
connector joints must be sealed with UL-181-AP foil tape. We
recommend that all vertical vent connector joints be secured with a
minimum of 3 screws.
It is strongly recommended that you have a minimum of 6’ of vertical
pipe in your exhaust system. For best performance of the stove
limit the number of elbows and horizontal pipe as much as possible
