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 
(refer to figures 5 & 6). A rodent guard (minimum ¼” wire 
mesh)/wind hood must be used at the terminus (refer to figure 7). 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 
a. 
In fireplaces 
 
Chimney top. 
 
Ash clean out door. 
b. 
For freestanding installations 
 
A hole in floor near stove rear terminating only in a 
ventilated crawl space. 
 
A hole in the wall behind the stove. 
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. In insert installations, flashing vents 
should not be restricted. The flashing should not necessarily seal the 
fireplace face. 
VENTING 
The Breckwell P24 Freestanding is certified for use with listed TYPE 
L-Vent, 3” or 4” diameter in size. The stove was tested with Simpson 
Duravent brand. Class “A” chimney is not required. Refer to the 
instructions provided by the vent manufacturer, especially when 
passing through a wall, ceiling or roof. 
This is a pressurized exhaust system. All vent connector joints must 
be sealed with 500
°
F (260
°
C) RTV silicone sealant to ensure 
consistent performance and avoid smoke spillage. All horizontal 
connector joints must be sealed with UL-181-AP foil tape. We 
recommend that all vertical vent connector joints be secured with a 
minimum of 3 screws.
