consisting of two ¼” sheets of mineral board or 24-guage sheet metal spaced 1” from the
combustible wall, with approved spacers that provide additional protection to the combustible wall.
Refer to a hearth pad manufacturer’s instructions or the NFPA Publication 211. Do not violate
minimum clearances with approved thermal barriers. Manville’s CERAFORM 126 is an example
of an approved insulated wall protector. This product has a K equal to .27 and is a half-inch thick.
Total thermal resistance should exceed 1.5 for any material used to ensure proper thermal
protection of a combustible wall.
MOBILE HOME STOVE ATTACHMENT
1. Install combustion air to the bottom of the stove as shown in FIGURE 18 in all mobile home
applications. The other end of the combustion air tube is installed through the mobile home floor.
Ensure that snow or other material cannot prevent fresh air from entering the duct located outside
the mobile home.
2. Install a mesh screen or an approved fresh air cap on the outside of the mobile home combustion air
tube. This cap will keep foreign material, birds, or small animals out of the fresh air system. Do
not use mesh screen from windows as it has too small a hole.
3. If operation of the Harvester freestanding stove causes room air starvation, dangerous fumes can be
sucked into the mobile home from other vented appliances. Air starvation usually occurs: (a)
because the combustion air intake is blocked, (b) because the stove door is left open or does not seal
properly, or (c) due to strong exhaust fans being operated inside the mobile home. Always ensure
that fresh air intake systems remain unblocked and ensure free fresh airflow. Contact your local
Country Flame dealer or a certified chimney sweep for annual inspections.
4. WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL ANY HARVESTER IN A SLEEPING ROOM.

MOBILE HOME FLOOR PROTECTION
1. A mobile home floor must be protected against stray sparks, radiant heat build up, or from
damage during general use.
2. This floor protection must meet certain minimum requirements as a thermal barrier.
Calculations are provided in this manual for determining if a floor protector meets minimum
requirements for a mobile home installation.
