MOBILE HOME FLOOR PROTECTION
1. A mobile home floor must be protected against stray sparks, radiant heat build up, or
from damage during general use.
2. This floor protection must meet certain minimum requirements as a thermal barrier.
Calculations are provided in this manual for determining if a floor protector meets
minimum requirements for a mobile home installation.
3. At no time should a floor protector be placed on top of carpeting. Carpeting must be
removed and the floor protection should sit directly on the uncarpeted portion of the
mobile home floor. Floor protection should extend to the front, sides, back, and under
the chimney connector as defined for a specific model listed in this manual. In the event
there are floor protection questions, contact Country Flame or one of its local authorized
dealers for assistance.
MOBILE HOME CHIMNEY AND DUCTS
1. ALL chimney connectors, parts, attachments, and ducts should meet UL 103HT
standards. One of the UL 103HT criteria is that a chimney component withstands
temperatures of 2,100
O F. Although this UL rating does not guarantee a chimney fire will
not occur, it is as close to ideal as industry standards provide today. Mobile home stove
and chimney restrictions are that: (a) regular thin walled stovepipe is not permitted, (b)
roof systems cannot be weakened when installing a chimney system, (c) a chimney cap
and spark arrester are mandatory, and (d) the chimney must be strong enough to
withstand normal area wind velocities.
2. There are many chimney manufacturers providing excellent products that meet
government listing requirements. From single wall, to double wall, to triple wall
