Mobile Home Installation
You must use a Quadra-Fire Outside Air Kit
for installation in a mobile home.
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 in use to prevent room
air starvation which causes smoke spillage. Smoke spillage
can also set off smoke alarms.
2.
The combustion air duct system must be made of 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.
3.
The appliance must be secured to the mobile home structure
by bolting it to the fl oor (using lag bolts). Use the same holes
that secured the appliance to the shipping pallet.
4.
The appliance must be grounded with #8 solid copper ground-
ing wire or equivalent, terminated at each end with an NEC
approved grounding device.
5.
Refer to Clearances to Combustibles and fl oor protection
requirements on
page 8
for listings to combustibles and appro-
priate chimney systems.
6.
Use silicone to create an effective vapor barrier at the loca-
tion where the chimney or other component penetrates to the
exterior of the structure.
7.
Follow the chimney manufacturer’s instructions when installing
the vent system for use in a mobile home.
8.
Installation shall be in accordance with the Manufacturers Home
& Safety Standard (HUD) CFR 3280, Part 24.
NEVER INSTALL IN A SLEEPING ROOM.

THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MOBILE HOME
FLOOR, WALL AND CEILING/ROOF MUST BE MAINTAINED
Do NOT cut through:
• Floor joist, wall, studs or ceiling trusses.
• Any supporting material that would affect the structural
integrity.
This unit is to be connected to a factory-built chimney
conforming to CAN/ULC-S629, Standard for 650°C Facto-
ry-Built Chimneys.

WARNING
Products of combustion generate carbon monoxide and
different fuels generate different levels. Carbon monoxide
•
Only use approved fuels in this appliance.
•
Always keep door shut during operation. Operating this unit
with doors open can allow CO to leak into the home.
CO can kill you before you are aware it is in your home. At
lower levels of exposure, CO causes mild effects that are often
mistaken for the fl u. These symptoms include headaches,
dizziness, disorientation, nausea and fatigue. The effects of CO
exposure can vary greatly from person to person depending
on age, overall health and the concentration and length of
exposure.
WARNING
It is critical to have a working smoke detector installed in
the home of unit operation.
•
Smoke alarms that are properly installed and maintained
play a vital role in reducing fi re deaths and injuries. Having
a working smoke alarm reduces the chance of fi re related
injuries..
