MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION
Once you have properly marked the position of
your unit and the oor protection as outlined in
the Residential Installation items #1 through #8, a
supply of fresh air has to be supplied to your unit.
See Optional Outside Air Kit instructions in this
manual.
Place your unit in position and secure it to the
oor using two lag bolts 3/8" (10mm) x 3-1/2"
(89mm) through the two holes inside the pedestal
base. It is important to maintain the structural
integrity of the Mobile Home oor, walls and roof
when installing your unit.
For Mobile Home units installed in the U.S. the
unit must be grounded using a #8 ground wire
with approved termination and star washer.
In addition to standard installation
instructions the following requirements are
mandatory for installation in a mobile home.
1. The stove must be permanently bolted to
the oor of the Mobile Home using the
oor screws provided.
2. The stove must have a permanent outside
air source for combustion.
3. The stove must be electrically grounded
to the steel chassis of the Mobile Home.
4. A listed double-wall connector chimney
system, roof thimble, spark arrestor and
roof ashing kit suitable for use in Mobile
Homes must be used.
5. If the chimney exits the Mobile Home at
a location other than through the roof,
and exits at a point 7ft. (2130mm) or
less above the ground level on which
the Mobile Home is positioned a guard
or method of enclosing the chimney shall
be tted at the point of exit for a height
up to 7ft. (2130mm).
6. The chimney shall be attached directly
to the room heater and shall extend at
least 3 ft. (914mm) above the part of the
roof through which it passes. The top of
the chimney should project at least 2ft.
(610mm) above the highest elevation of
any part of the Mobile Home within 10
ft. (3048mm) of the chimney.
7. The chimney system shall comply with
Local Requirements.
8. Any openings in a chimney guard where
required must not permit the entrance
of 3/4" (19mm) diameter rod.
9. CAUTION: THE STRUCTURAL
INTEGRITY OF THE MOBILE HOME
ROOF, FLOOR, WALLS AND CEILING
MUST BE MAINTAINED.
10. Check any other local building code as
other local codes may apply.
11. WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL IN
A SLEEPING ROOM OF A MOBILE
HOME.
12. Use silicone to create an eective vapour
barrier at the location where the chimney
or other component penetrates to the
exterior of the structure.
CAUTION: At no time use unlabelled
parts, or substitute parts made for
another chimney system.
Install as per chimney manufacturer's
installation instructions.
For Canadian Installations: see Outside
Air Kit Blanking Plate - Part # 042-909
There are further requirements when installing
this unit into a mobile home in Canada Only.
WARNING: Operate only with door
fully closed - open feed door to feed
re only.
1. Identify the position of the outside air damper by the orientation of the metal handle that rests
outside the galvanized pipe. The metal handle and the damper disc are in line with each other.
This means that if the metal handle is in a horizontal position, the damper is at and fully open.
2. Open the damper fully whenever you start a re. This will allow the outside air to be drawn in
the pedestal base eliminating any potential smoke escaping the stove and entering the room.
(Negative air pressure)

MASONRY FIREPLACE
There are listed kits available to connect a stove to a masonry
replace. The kit is an adapter that is installed at the location
of the replace damper. The existing damper may have to
be removed to allow installation.
Minimum vertical of 36" before any oset.
Horizontal Maximum of 36" with 1/4" rise per foot.
NOTE: Recommend using 2-45º instead of 90º to

NOTE: Only a 6" and or 5.5" liner may be used when relining
the masonry chimney. Do not increase/decrease size of the
liner as this could result in poor performance, over ring
and or dangerous operating conditions which may void
your warranty.
Do not use or add a pipe damper as this will result in
poor performance, over ring and or dangerous operating
conditions which may void your warranty. This appliance
already has a bypass damper in place.
A minimum vertical rise of 36 inches is required from top of
stove collar prior to having any offset. It is recommended
that 45º elbows be used instead of a 90º elbow to improve
draft and performance. If not adhered to this, it will result
in poor performance overfiring and or dangerous operating
conditions which may void your warranty.
WALL EXIT CLEARANCE FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY
When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer's installation instructions must be followed. You must also purchase and install the
ceiling support package or wall pass-through and "T" section package, restops (where needed), insulation shield, roof ashing, chimney cap, etc.
Maintain proper clearance to the structure as recommended by the manufacturer. The chimney must be the required height above the roof or other
obstructions for safety and proper draft operation.
Minimum vertical of 36" before any oset.

Method A: 12" (304.8 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member:
Using a minimum thickness 3.5" (89 mm) brick and a 5/8" (15.9 mm)
minimum wall thickness clay liner, construct a wall pass-through. The
clay liner must conform to ASTM C315 (Standard Specication for
Clay Fire Linings) or its equivalent. Keep a minimum of 12" (304.8
mm) of brick masonry between the clay liner and wall combustibles.
The clay liner shall run from the brick masonry outer surface to the
inner surface of the chimney ue liner but not past the inner surface.
Firmly grout or cement the clay liner in place to the chimney ue liner.
Method B: 9" (228.6 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member:
Using a 6" (152.4 mm) inside diameter, listed, factory-built Solid-Pak
chimney section with insulation of 1" (25.4 mm) or more, build a wall
pass-through with a minimum 9" (228.6 mm) air space between the
outer wall of the chimney length and wall combustibles. Use sheet
metal supports fastened securely to wall surfaces on all sides, to
maintain the 9" (228.6 mm) air space. When fastening supports to
chimney length, do not penetrate the chimney liner (the inside wall
of the Solid-Pak chimney). The inner end of the Solid-Pak chimney
section shall be ush with the inside of the masonry chimney ue, and
sealed with a non-water soluble refractory cement. Use this cement
to also seal to the brick masonry penetration.

metal chimney connector, and a minimum 24 gage ventilated wall
thimble which has two air channels of 1" (25.4 mm) each, construct a
wall pass-through. There shall be a minimum 6" (152.4) mm separation
area containing berglass insulation, from the outer surface of the wall
thimble to wall combustibles. Support the wall thimble, and cover its
opening with a 24-gage minimum sheet metal support. Maintain the
6" (152.4 mm) space. There should also be a support sized to t and
hold the metal chimney connector. See that the supports are fastened
securely to wall surfaces on all sides. Make sure fasteners used to
secure the metal chimney connector do not penetrate chimney ue liner.
Method D: 2" (50.8 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member:
Start with a solid-pak listed factory built chimney section at least
12" (304 mm) long, with insulation of 1" (25.4 mm) or more, and an
inside diameter of 6" (2 inches [51 mm] larger than the 6" [152.4
mm] chimney connector). Use this as a pass-through for a minimum
24-gage single wall steel chimney connector. Keep solid-pak section
concentric with and spaced 1" (25.4 mm) o the chimney connector
by way of sheet metal support plates at both ends of chimney section.
Cover opening with and support chimney section on both sides with
24 gage minimum sheet metal supports. See that the supports are
fastened securely to wall surfaces on all sides. Make sure fasteners
used to secure chimney ue liner.

Horizontal Installation
Standard Ceiling Installation
7. To complete your chimney installation, install
the single wall or double wall connector pipe
from the stove’s ue collar to the chimney
support device.
NOTE: When attaching the chimney to the
appliance, ensure a minimum of two (2) screws
are used to establish a snug t.
8. If you are using a horizontal connector,
the chimney connector should be as high
as possible while still maintaining the 18"
(457mm) minimum distance from the
horizontal connector to the ceiling.
NOTE: Residential Close Clearance and
Alcove installations require a listed
double wall connector from the stove
collar to the ceiling level.
The diagrams below illustrate one way to install
your unit into a standard ceiling or with a horizontal
connector. Check with your dealer or installer for
information on other options available to you.
STEP-BY-STEP
CHIMNEY AND
CONNECTOR
INSTALLATION
Note: These are a generic set of chimney
installation instructions. Always
follow the manufacturers own
instructions explicitly. Verify the
Minimum Recommended Heights
for Woodstove Flue (Table 1 in the
Installation section).
1. With your location already established, cut
and frame the roof hole. It is recommended
that no ceiling support member be cut for
chimney and support box installation. If it is
necessary to cut them, the members must be
made structurally sound.
2. Install radiant shield and support from above.
3. Stack the insulated pipe onto your nish
support to a minimum height of 3 feet above
the roof penetration, or 2 feet above any point
within 10 feet measured horizontally. There
must be at least 3 feet of chimney above the
roof level.
NOTE: Ensure each section of chimney is positively
attached and secured.
Note: Increasing the chimney height above
this minimum level will sometimes
help your unit to “breathe” better
by allowing a greater draft to be
created. This greater draft can
decrease problems such as, dicult
start-ups, back-smoking when door
is open, and dirty glass. It might be
sucient to initially try with the
minimum required height, and then
if problems do arise add additional
height at a later date.
4. Slide the roof ashing over your chimney
and seal the ashing to the roof with roong
compound. Secure the ashing to your roof
with nails or screws.
5. Place the storm collar over the ashing, sealing
the joints with a silicone caulking.
6. Fasten the raincap with spark screens (if
required) to the top of your chimney.

8 | F3500 Wood Stove
Simple rules on draft (refer to Table 1).
1) At sea level minimum height is 12' straight.
2) Add the following vertical height to
compensate for:
45 deg. elbow = 1 ft.
90 deg. elbow = 2 ft.
"T" = 3 ft.
Each foot of horizontal run = 2 ft.
3) Add 4% overall for each 1000' above sea level.
Example: a)
1-1/2 ft. of horizontal run = 3 ft.
one "T" = 3 ft.
Total Addition (at sea level) = 6 ft.
Example: b)
One 90 deg. elbow = 2 ft.
2 ft. of horizontal run = 4 ft.
one "T" = 3 ft.
Total Addition (at sea level) = 9 ft.
