8.5.1 Combustion Air Supply in Mobile Homes
Only a wood stove certified and labelled as 'mobile home approved' may be installed in a
mobile home. The Solution 3.5 wood stove is 'mobile home approved. Wood stoves installed in
mobile homes must have a ducted supply of combustion air from outdoors. This air supply should
be routed down through the house floor into the vented crawl space under the mobile home. The
air supply duct should be non-combustible aluminum flex duct with a screened weatherhood on the
outside end.
Note: Fabric duct may also be used, provided it is suitable for HVAC use and meets the
requirements of ULC-S110 or UL-181 Class 1 standards.
insulation and be corrosion resistant.
Where a mobile home has been converted to a standard house by mounting it on a permanent
basement foundation, the supply of outdoor air is not required.
8.5.2 Air Supply in Conventional Houses
The safest and most reliable supply of combustion air for your wood stove is from the room in
which it is installed. Room air is already preheated so it will not chill the fire, and its availability is
not affected by wind pressures on the house. Contrary to commonly expressed concerns, almost
all tightly-sealed new houses have enough natural leakage to provide the small amount of air
needed by the stove. The only case in which the wood stove may not have adequate access to
combustion air is if the operation of a powerful exhaust device (such as a kitchen range exhaust)
causes the pressure in the house to become negative relative to outdoors.
Some jurisdictions in the United States require that wood stoves have a supply of combustion air
from outdoors. If you do install an air supply through the wall of the house, be aware that its
pressure can be affected during windy weather. If you notice changes in wood stove performance
in windy weather, and in particular if smoke puffs from the stove, you should disconnect the
outdoor air duct from the stove and remove the duct. In some windy conditions, negative pressure
at the duct weatherhood outside the house wall may draw hot exhaust gases from the stove
backwards through the duct to outdoors. Check the outdoor air duct for soot deposits when the full
system is cleaned and inspected at least once each year.
8.6 Installing the Chimney Connector
The chimney connector is the single or double wall pipe installed between the stove flue collar and
the chimney breech. Single wall pipe components are available from most hardware and building
supply stores. These components are not usually tested to a particular standard and certified as
compliant. Therefore, a list of rules found in solid fuel installation codes apply to the installation of
single wall pipe.
Double wall chimney connectors are tested and certified. The rules for double wall pipe are found
in the manufacturer's installation instructions. These rules will be very different than those for
single wall.
