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 (ref er to figure
4). A rodent guard (minimum ¼” wire mesh)/wind hood
must be used at the terminus (refer to figure 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 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

In fireplaces
•
Chimney top.
•

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.
