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 4). A rodent guard (minimum ¼” wire mesh)/wind hood
must be used at the terminus (refer to gure 5). 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
¾” 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 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, ashing vents should not
be restricted. The ashing should not necessarily seal the replace face.
VENTING
Your appliance 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. We suggest sealing all vent
connector joints with 500°F (260°C) RTV silicone sealant to ensure
consistent performance and to avoid smoke spillage. We also suggest
that all horizontal connector joints be sealed with UL-181-AP foil tape.
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
Follow l-vent chimney manufacturer’s installation instructions.
Do not connect this unit to a chimney ue serving another appliance.
Do not install a ue damper in the exhaust venting system of this unit.
Install vent at clearances specied by the vent manufacturer.
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.
