7 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 construc-

tion 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

grounding 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

appropriate chimney systems.

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

location where the chimney or other component pene-

trates 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.

CAUTION

Never draw outside combustion air from:

• Wall, ﬂ oor or ceiling cavity

• Enclosed space such as an attic or garage

CAUTION

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.

For removal of the chimney for mobile home

transportation, contact the proper transportation ofﬁ cials.

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.
