MOBILE HOME RULES
1. Install only a HUD-approved laboratory tested stove in a mobile home. If the metal tag
permanently affixed to a wood burning stove does not specifically state; “mobile home
approved to HUD Standard UM-84,” do not install the product in a mobile home.
Freestanding Ovation Model OV-2100, OV-2600, and OV-3000 stoves are approved for use
in mobile homes. Install all Ovation stoves in accordance with 24 CFR, part 3280 (HUD).
2. A permanent (hard line) combustion fresh air duct system must be installed and connected
from the outside of the mobile home directly to the combustion air inlet on an Ovation stove.
3. An Ovation stove must have a listed prefabricated chimney system installed in the mobile
home. This chimney system must be properly connected and installed directly from the stove
through the roof of the mobile home using only one manufacturer’s chimney products.
Follow the chimney manufacturer’s installation instructions to the letter.
4. All mobile home stove installations or stove replacements require a permit to be obtained
from the local code department and at least a final inspection before operation of the stove is
authorized. Use only licensed contractors to perform the installation work. Further, an
insurance representative should provide an approval document stating that the installation
and inspection are in accordance with industry standards and therefore covered by the
homeowner’s insurance policy.
MOBILE HOME CLEARANCES
1. Clearance is defined as the open space distance between any part of the stove or its flue
connector and any combustible material, including but not limited to: walls, ceilings, trim
moldings, furniture, word storage containers, or any other combustible item. Refer to the
stove clearance section of this manual or the certification tag on a stove for minimum
clearances that must be maintained during installation of a stove into a mobile home.
