In addition to the standard installation instructions, the following instruc-

tions may be required by local, state or federal building codes:

•  Installation should be in accordance with the Manufactured Home and 

Safety Standard (HUD), CFR 3280, Part 24.

•  The stove must be permanently bolted to the floor using two or three 

1/4" or 5/16" diameter x 5" lag screws as shown in 

Figures 4A, 4B, 5A 

and 5B

.

• 

Connecting the Montage™ 32FS stove to outside combustion air is 

required in manufactured home installations and when required by local 

building codes. An outside air inlet must be provided for combustion 

and be unrestricted while unit is in use. Use a galvanized or stainless 

steel pipe for the duct (the outside air inlet on the stove is 1-5/8” 

diameter).  The air intake on the exterior of the home should always 

be located a minimum of 18" below the flue termination (see 

Figures 

4B and 15). 

The Inlet shall  remain free of obstruction while unit is in 

operation and constructed in a manner so as to prevent material from 

dropping into the inlet or into the area beneath the dwelling. The inlet 

shall also have a screen with openings not larger than 1/4" to prevent 

rodents from entering.

•  Stove must be permanently electrically grounded to the steel chassis 

of the manufactured home using a 8 GA copper wire and a serrated 

or star washer (to penetrate paint or protective coating to ensure 

grounding). The location selected for ground attachment to the stove 

must be dedicated for this purpose.  Grounding must comply with 

NFPA-70-latest edition standards, CSA C22.1-latest edition in Canada, 

as well as any local codes.

•  See 

Pages 11 through 17

 for additional information on venting require-

ments.

•

  WARNING:  DO NOT INSTALL THIS STOVE IN A SLEEPING ROOM IN 

A MANUFACTURED HOME.

• 

CAUTION: THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MANUFACTURED 

HOME FLOOR, WALLS, CEILING/ROOF MUST BE MAINTAINED.

Manufactured  Home Exhaust Vent Pipe Installation Guidelines

This stove is approved for venting with Type L and Type PL pellet vent 
pipe listed to UL 641 and ULC S609.  The pipe should extend at least 3 

feet above the part of the roof through which it passes. The top of the 

pipe should be at least 2 feet above the highest required elevation of any 

part of the manufactured home within 10 feet of the pipe (see

 Page 13

, 

Manufactured Home Chimney Height Requirements

).

If the exhaust vent exits the manufactured home at a location other than 

the roof, and exits at a point 7 feet or less above the ground level on which 

the manufactured home is position a guard or method of enclosing the 

pipe shall be provided at the point of exit for a height of up to 7 feet. The 

openings, if any, in this guard shall not allow a 3/4” rod to pass through. 

A 1/2” rod could pass through but should not be able to touch the pipe 

when inserted through the opening a distance of 4 inches.
