Mobile Home Installation
1.
An outside air inlet must be provided for the combustion
air and must remain clear of leaves, debris, ice and/or
snow. It must be unrestricted while the appliance is

metal. It must permit zero clearance to combustible
construction and prevent material from dropping into
the inlet or into the area beneath the dwelling and
contain a rodent screen.

structure by bolting it to the floor (using lag bolts).
Use the same holes that secured the appliance to the
shipping pallet.

grounding wire or equivalent, terminated at each end
with an NEC approved grounding device.

tion requirements on page 8 for listings to combustibles
