Section 12.
Check with your local building code agency before you begin

including the need for permits and follow-up inspections. Be

sure local building codes do not supersede UL specifications

and always obtain a building permit so that insurance protec-

tion benefits cannot be unexpectedly cancelled.

1. An outside air inlet must be provided for combustion and

must remain clear of leaves, debris, ice and/or snow. It

must be unrestricted while unit is in use to prevent room air

starvation which can cause smoke spillage and an inability

to maintain a fire. Smoke spillage can also set off smoke

alarms.

2. The fireplace is to be secured to the mobile home structure.

Use same holes that attached the fireplace to the pallet to

secure it to the floor using 1/4 in. x 2 in. (6 mm x 51 mm)

lag bolts or equivalent.

. Unit must be grounded with #8 solid copper grounding

wire or equivalent and terminated at each end with N.E.C.

approved grounding device.

4. Refer to Minimum Clearances to Combustibles on pages

11-12 and chimney components on pages 62.

5. Floor protections requirements on pages 8-40 must be

followed precisely.

6. Use silicone to create an effective vapor barrier at the

location where the chimney or other component penetrates

to the exterior of the structure.

7. Follow the chimney and chimney connector manufacturer’s

instructions when installing the flue system for use in a mobile

home.

8. If unit burns poorly while an exhaust fan is on in home,

(i.e., range hood), increase combustion air.

NOTE: Top sections of chimney must be removable to

allow maximum clearance of 1.5 ft (411 cm) from ground

level for transportation purposes.
