Installation Warnings
Read this entire manual before installing the fireplace.
Failure to install this fireplace in accordance with all local codes and the requirements listed in this
manual may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.
Notify your insurance company before installing this fireplace.
Contact your local building officials to obtain a permit and information on installation restrictions or
inspection requirements in your area.
Notify your insurance company of this fireplace.
The requirements listed below are divided into sections. All requirements must be met
simultaneously. The order of installation is not rigid – the qualified installer should follow the
procedure best suited for the installation.
Modifications of the fireplace (doors, air inlet systems, damper control, or any other component
supplied by Travis Industries) or use of any component part not approved by Travis Industries in
combination with this fireplace system will void the listing and warranty.
This fireplace is not approved for use in a mobile home.
Travis Industries, Inc. grants no warranty, implied or stated, for the installation or
maintenance of your heater, and assumes no responsibility of any consequential damage(s).
Operating Warnings
WARNING: FIREPLACE SHOULD BE OPERATED ONLY WITH DOORS FULLY OPEN OR DOORS
FULLY CLOSED. IF DOORS ARE LEFT PARTLY OPEN, GAS AND FLAME MAY BE DRAWN OUT
OF THE FIREPLACE OPENING, CREATING RISKS OF BOTH FIRE AND SMOKE.
Creosote – Formation and Need for Removal
When wood is burned slowly it produces tar and other organic vapors which combine with expelled
moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a
slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited this
creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
The chimney shall be inspected at least twice a year during the heating season to determine when a
creosote buildup has occurred.
When creosote has accumulated it shall be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to
start or ‘freshen up’ a fire in this fireplace. Keep all such liquids well away from the fireplace while it is
in use.
Disposal of Ashes
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. These closed container of ashes
should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible
materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally
dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
A fireplace insert shall not be installed in a factory-built fireplace unless tested with the fireplace.
Proposition 65 Warning: Fuels used in gas, woodburning or oil fired appliances, and the products of combustion of such fuels,
contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm.

Installation Recommendations for Cold Environments
If you live in the area depicted in black in the illustration to the
right (or in Canada), we recommend the following steps be
taken to minimize cold air infiltration.
Insulated Chimney is Strongly Recommended
Insulated chimney does not require cooling ducts and is
therefore preferred for cold environments. This is the
number one method for improving cold weather performance.
Use “P” Trap & Insulated Duct in the Cooling Duct.
If using air-cooled chimney, we recommend insulating the
intake duct and putting in a “P” trap to help prevent air
circulation when the fireplace is not in use. A typical “P” trap
design is shown in the illustration to the right.
Use Bi-Metallic Damper with Air-Cooled Chimney
If using air-cooled chimney, we recommend the use of the bi-
metallic damper. This component (part # 250-01741) is an 18”
section of Duravent pipe that is installed at the top of the
chimney, directly below the cap. It has a heat-activated damper
that helps reduce cold air from entering the cooling ducts while
the fireplace is not in operation.
Use Outside Air “P” Trap and Insulated Duct

42 Apex Fireplace
We recommend putting in a “P” trap in the outside air duct (used to supply air to the firebox) to prevent air
circulation when the fireplace is not in use. A typical “P” trap design is shown in the illustration above. In
addition, you should insulate the outside air duct to help reduce air circulation when the fireplace is not in
use.
Daily Requirements for Homeowners
HUMIDITY - Make sure the humidistat is set correctly. The chart below details the correct setting for the
temperature you are experiencing outdoors.

Fireplace Placement Requirements
Clearances to Fireplace
Sidewalls to the front of the fireplace must be 45” (1143mm) from the centerline of the fireplace (see
“a” in the illustration below).
Any combustible (bookshelf, column, etc.) that protrudes less than 7” (178mmmm) from the front of
the fireplace must be placed a minimum 24-3/8” (620mmmm) from the centerline of the fireplace. If
this combustible protrudes farther, it must meet the sidewall clearance (see “b” and “c” in the
illustration below).

The fireplace requires a ½” (13mm) clearance to the back and sides (stand-offs are pre-installed to
provide this clearance). Do not place insulation or other material into this area. Drywall or other
combustibles must maintain a ½” clearance to the sides of the fireplace (see “d” in the illustration
above).
Fireplace should be located such that no doors, drapes, furniture or other combustibles can be
placed close or swing closer than the minimum 48" clearance. Due to the high heat output of this
fireplace, choose a location away from high traffic areas.

Fireplace Placement
The fireplace must be secured to the floor and/or framing (see “nailing brackets” in the illustration
below).
Fireplace must be placed directly on wood or non-combustible surface (not on linoleum or carpet).
Fireplace must be installed on a level surface capable of supporting the fireplace and chimney.
Place the ember strip included with the fireplace below the front edge of the fireplace (see illustration
below). This prevents embers from sliding between the fireplace and hearth.
Fireplace must be placed so the vents below and above the glass do not become blocked.
We rcommend the chase around
the fireplace be insulated.
WARNING:
Insulation must be secured so it
does not fill the space between
the fireplace and standoffs.

Approved Chimney
This fireplace requires one of two types of chimney (no exceptions – do not intermix):
Air-Cooled Chimney
- Use Travis Industries air cooled pipe only. Part
numbers are listed in the section “Air Cooled
Chimney”.
- This chimney requires the use of the air-cooled
starter section and cooling duct inlet (see the
section “Air Cooled Chimney” for details).
Insulated Chimney
- Security ASHT+ Chimney
(available from Travis Industries or Security)
(use 98900290 Anchor Plate)
- Alternative Manufacturers
(see the section starting on page 18 for details)
The entire chimney system must be installed to meet all local requirements as well as those
requirements listed by the chimney manufacturer. Depending on the manufacturer and where the
chimney is to be installed, chimney supports, roof braces, radiation shields, attic insulation shields,
attic enclosures, spark arrestors, locking bands, etcetera, may be required as part of the chimney
system. The manufacturer's installation instructions, which are reviewed by the listing agency,
specifies when and where each of these components must be used. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions for the use of flashing and an adjustable storm collar at the roof line to prevent water from
entering the house. Manufacturers require that chimneys extending beyond a certain height above
the roof (typically above 5') must be braced.

Cooling Duct Installation
WARNING: The cooling duct provides cooling air for the chimney system. Failure to correctly
install the cooling duct will lead to an extremely dangerous installation and possibly a fire.
The 6” diameter cooling duct routes air from outside the structure to the cooling air collar on the
starter section. Do not draw air from a garage or other enclosed, unventilated, area.
The maximum distance of the cooling duct is 30’. When routing the duct, use a minimum of bends
and keep the bend radius as large as possible. The maximum bends for the duct is 540° (six 90°
bends). Cooling duct must maintain 2” clearance to chimney. Cooling duct must be non-
combustible.
The Cooling Duct Kit (98900108) includes 30’ of cooling duct, collar, and external termination. Attach
the external termination to the structure (use storm collar if needed) with the opening facing
downwards (to prevent water or other material from entering). Secure the cooling duct to the collar
and external termination using high-temperature aluminum tape and/or sheet metal screws.
Locate the duct termination so it does not become blocked by snow, vegetation or other material.
The duct termination must be a minimum 5’ below the chimney termination. In addition, the intake
must be 10’ away from the chimney termination to prevent flue products from entering (measure the
distance air must travel between the two terminations).
The cooling air duct termination may be installed to draw air from a ventilated crawl space or attic if
approved by local building codes. NOTE: certain codes require a fire curtain damper in these cases.
The cooling air duct termination must be flashed and sealed to meet local building code
requirements.

Air Cool Chimney - Offset Requirements (30° Elbows)
Offsets (using a pair of 30° elbows) may be used to
redirect the chimney. Typically this is done to avoid
structures, align the pipe with framing, or to gain
clearance to combustibles (see illustration below).
A maximum four 30° elbows may be used.
Each elbow must be used in conjunction with a return
elbow (so the chimney returns to a vertical direction)
If using a single offset (two 30° elbows) a maximum of
8' of inclined chimney may be used between elbows.
If using two offsets (four 30° elbows) a maximum of 4'
of inclined chimney may be used between each set of
elbows.
For every 6' of inclined chimney a flue support is
required – follow the chimney manufacturer’s
instructions for supporting the chimney.
Elbows may be used directly off the top of the fireplace.
Firestops
Whenever the chimney penetrates a floor or ceiling a
firestop is required on the bottom side of the floor joists
(see illustration below).
When passing through an attic the firestop must be
placed on the attic side of the joists
When the chimney passes through a living space it
must be totally enclosed (maintain the minimum 2"
clearance to combustibles)
The space between frames that hold the firestop in
place should be measured as follows:
Space Between Frames = 16”

Elbow Strap, Tee Support, or similar
support method to support the weight of
the pipe and to relieve stress on the
elbows.

Two Pairs (4) Offsets
Minimum chimney
height is 19’.
NOTE: In problematic
locations (areas with
high wind or at altitude,
etc.) additional chimney
height above the
specified minimum may
be necessary to reduce
wind-induced down
drafts, back puffing, or
smoke spillage. By
adding additional
chimney, the fireplace
will have increased draft
and encounter less
negative operating
characteristics.
Chimney must be totally
enclosed when passing
through living space.
