SAFETY NOTICE:
Please read this entire manual before you install and use your new room heater. Failure
to follow instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.
Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation inspection
requirements in your area.

We suggest that you have an authorized Travis Industries dealer install your stove. If you install the
stove yourself, your authorized dealer should review your installation lans.
Check with local building officials for any ermits required for installation of this stove and notify your
insurance com any before roceeding with installation.
Preparation for Installation
• Check for damage to the exterior of the stove (dents should be re orted, scratches can be fixed by
a lying touch u aint).
• Check the interior of the firebox (re lace cracked firebrick and make sure baffle is in lace).
The stove can be lightened by removing the firebricks and baffle ( g 36) - re lace before o eration.
Additional Accessories Needed for Installation
• Legs or Pedestal
Packing List
• To Air Chamber Extension (used for inserts only) • (4) Screws (for the To Air Chamber Extension)
• Dam er Rod (for the To Air Chamber Extension) • Pull Tool (used to adjust the dam er when hot)
Stove Installation Considerations
The table below details the six most common ty es of installations and the considerations for each ty e.
Alternative methods of installation are available if they com ly with local building codes.
Installation Type Considerations
Standard Ceiling with a Factory Built Chimney
(Page 14) • Requires ceiling and roof enetration
• Provides best draft
Cathedral Ceiling with a Factory Built Chimney
(Page 14) • Cathedral style chimney su ort required
• Provides best draft
Exterior Factory Built Chimney
(Page 15) • Uses two elbows to route chimney outside
• Exterior chimney is hidden from the room
• Elbows reduce draft
• O tional exterior chase reduces cold air blockage
Hearth Stove Positive Connection
(Page 15) • Utilizes existing masonry chimney
• Provides good draft due to full reline
• Easier to clean than direct or horizontal hearth stove
Hearth Stove Direct Connection
(Page 16) • Utilizes existing masonry chimney
• Requires construction of a "block-off late"
• Draft reduced due to elbows & chimney cross section
Interior Masonry Chimney
(Page 16) • Utilizes existing masonry chimney

8 Stove Installation for qualified installers only)

• Floor rotection must be non-combustible and at least .018" thick (26 guage).
Stove Placement Requirements
Clearances may be reduced by methods s ecified in NFPA 211, listed wall shields, i e shields, or
other means a roved by local building or fire officials.
• Stove must be laced so that no combustibles are within, or can swing within (e.g. dra es, doors), 36"
of the front of the stove
• If the stove is laced in a location where the ceiling height is less than 7', it must follow the
requirements in the section "Alcove Installation Requirements"
• Must maintain the clearances to combustibles listed below (drywall, furniture, etc.):
Clearances
• The following clearances must be met (see Figure 2 and Figure 3)
Minimum Clearance Singlewall
Connector
Reduced
Clearance*
A Sidewall to stove 16" 16"
B Backwall to stove 15” 10"
C Cornerwall to stove 9-1/2" 7-1/2"
D Connector to sidewall 27-3/4" 27-1/4"
E Connector to backwall 17-3/4" 12-1/4"
F Connector to cornerwall 21" 18-1/2"
* Reduced clearance installations require one of the chimneys and connectors listed below:
AMERI-TEC model DCC connector with AMERI-TEC UL 103 HT chimney

I.C.C. Excel HP connector with I.C.C. UL 103 HT chimney
METALFAB model DW connector with METALFAB UL 103 HT chimney
SECURITY model DP connector with SECURITY UL 103 HT chimney
Standard Masonry Chimney with any one of the above listed connectors
NOTE: Reduced clearance connectors may not connect to the flue collar – an a liance ada ter may be required.
NOTE: Standard residential installations with reduced clearance connector may use the clearance
determined by the manufacturer of the connector for the connector to wall clearance or the clearance
listed in this manual. Offsets must be used to maintain the stove to wall clearance.

Drafting
Performance
This a liance relies u on natural draft to o erate. External forces, such as wind,
barometric ressure, to ogra hy, or factors of the home (negative ressure from exhaust
fans, chimneys, air infiltration, etc.), may adversely affect draft. Travis Industries can not be
res onsible for external forces leading to less than o timal erformance.
• Standard residential installations may use single-wall connector (Mobile-Homes may not)
• Standard residential installations with reduced clearance connector may use the clearance
determined by the manufacturer of the connector for the connector to wall clearance or the clearance
listed in this manual. Offsets must be used to maintain the stove to wall clearance. Mobile homes
must use the clearances listed in this manual under "Additional Requirements for Mobile Home
Installations".
