4Safety Precautions
Travis Industries 4030228 93508128
• IF YOU SMELL GAS:
* Do not light any appliance
* Extinguish any open flame
* Do not touch any electrical switch or plug or unplug anything
* Open windows and vacate building
* Call gas supplier from neighbor's house, if not reached, call fire
department
• This unit must be installed by a qualified installer to prevent the possibility of an
explosion. Your dealer will know the requirements in your area and can inform you of
those people considered qualified. The room heater should be inspected before use
and at least annually by a qualified service person. More frequent cleaning may be
required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc.
• The instructions in this manual must be strictly adhered to. Do not use makeshift
methods or compromise in the installation. Improper installation will void the warranty
and safety listing.
For LPG only | Pout 11” W.C.
Look for this label:
If the label is present, the
heater is equipped for LP
(propane). If the label is
absent, the heater is equipped
for NG (natural gas).
•This heater is either approved for natural
gas (NG) or for propane (LP). Burning the
incorrect fuel will void the warranty and
safety listing and may cause an extreme
safety hazard. Direct questions about the
type of fuel used to your dealer. Check
the label and flame adjust knob on the
gas control valve.
Ok
•Contact your local building
officials to obtain a permit
and information on any
installation restrictions or
inspection requirements in
your area. Notify your
insurance company of this
heater as well.
•If the flame becomes sooty,
dark orange in color, or
extremely tall, do not
operate the heater. Call
your dealer and arrange for
proper servicing.

it is not operating properly in
any fashion or if you are
uncertain. Call your dealer
for a full explanation of your
heater and what to expect.

Fireplace Placement Requirements
Minimum Framing Dimensions
The 1/2" stand-offs on the back and sides and 6-1/4" stand-offs on the top of the fireplace are
designed to separate the fireplace from the framing members. These stand-offs may contact the
framing members but no material may be placed between the stand-offs.

Gas line (3/8" M.P.T. or 1/2" F.P.T.)
should be routed 6-5/8" behind the
framing opening and 1-7/8" above
the base of the fireplace (see "Gas
Line Connection" for details).
43-1/4"
19-5/8"
46-1/2"
Route the electrical line to a position
at the right rear of the fireplace.
If using a remote control or
thermostat, route the wire to a
location near the gas line (include
an extra 3' length for hookup).
NOTE: if venting directly to the rear,
make sure there is a min. 8-5/8" space
centered behind the fireplace for the
wall thimble. If a 90°elbow is used
directly off of the fireplace, the thimble
will be centered 51-1/4" above the
base of the fireplace.
NOTE: If using the power heat vent,
allow for the duct passage when
framing the enclosure.
•Fireplace must be installed on a level surface capable of supporting the fireplace and vent
•Fireplace must be placed directly on wood or non-combustible surface (not on linoleum or carpet)
•Due to the high temperature of the fireplace, it should be located out of traffic and away from furniture
and draperies.
•This heater may be placed in a bedroom. Please be aware of the large amount of heat this appliance
produces when determining a location.
Clearances
•When installed, walls in front of the fireplace must be a minimum 4-1/2" to the side of the faceplate.
•Fireplace must be placed so that no combustibles are within, or can swing within 36" of the front of the
fireplace (e.g. drapes, doors)
•Fireplace must be placed so the vents below and above the glass do not become blocked

Facing Over 1" Thick
•Architectural faces require a
5/8" gap above the face for
face installation.
•If the facing material is over 1"
thick (e.g. brick, river rock),
install the facing around the
perimeter of the face. You
may wish to make a face
template (see the illustration
to the right). If using an arch
face, you may wish to order
the optional set-up face:
Arch Set-Up Face
Part # 98500692
•For rectangular faces, use a
piece of plywood cut to the
dimensions shown on page
13 (add 1/8" to each
dimension).
•Artisan faces vary in size. Use
the face being installed to
create a template.

The face template should be 1/8”larger than the
finished face. Attach the template to the fireplace using
the face attachment screws. Then while building the
face, use the template to support the face material and
ensure the facing does not overlap the face.
Face Template
7/8”
Note: if using a brick hearth, the fireplace will need to be raised to accommodate the 1”gap betwen the
face and the base of the fireplace. For 2-1/2”thick brick this works out to approximately 1-5/8”.
Note: The brick tucks
below the face template.

When fully installed, there will be a 1/2"
air space below the access door on the

required for access door opening and
air flow).

•The combustible area above the facing must not protrude more than 3/4" from the facing. If it does, it
is considered a mantel and must meet the mantel requirements listed in this manual.

Vent Requirements
!The vent must maintain the required clearance to combustible materials to prevent a fire (see
“Clearances”below). Do not fill air spaces with insulation.
!The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and never
be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance. Each direct vent gas
appliance must use it's own separate vent system.
Altitude Considerations
This heater has been tested at altitudes ranging from sea level to 8,000 feet (2,400 M). In this testing we have
found that the heater, with its standard orifice, burns correctly with just an air shutter adjustment.
!Failure to adjust the air shutter properly may lead to improper combustion which can create a safety hazard.
Consult your dealer or installer if you suspect an improperly adjusted air shutter.
Clearances
Minimum 1”clearance to all combustibles (measured from the outside of the pipe) exceptfor the following:
2" Clearance With any vertical
vent directly off the
fireplace, the
clearance is 1".
AAA
1" Clearance
When using 6-5/8" vent, a
horizontal termination, and
an elbow directly off the
top of the fireplace, a 2"
clearance is required
above the horizontal
sections (1" to the side
and below).

with a horizontal termination, 8”dia. Simpson Duravent type GS Direct Vent may be used. See the

•Slide the vent sections together and turn 1/4 turn until the sections lock in
place.
•Screws are not required to secure the vent. However, three screws may be
used to secure vent sections together if desired.
•High temperature sealant is recommended at the appliance starter section
connection (use high-temperature silicone or Mill-Pac®).
•If disassembly is required, at time of re-assembly check to see if the vent
creates a tight fit. If it does not, apply high temperature sealant to the joints of
the affected sections.
•Horizontal sections require a 1/4" rise every 12" of travel
•Horizontal sections require non-combustible support every three feet (e.g.: plumbing tape)

Approved Vent Configurations
Restrictor Position
•A vent restrictor is built into the appliance to adjust the flow rate of exhaust gases. This ensures
proper combustion for all vent configurations. Depending upon the vent configuration, you may be
required to adjust the restrictor position. The charts for acceptable vent configurations detail the
correct vent restrictor position.
With the face removed and
the fireplace cool, reach
above the firebox.
To Adjust the Restrictor:
To Access the Restrictor:
1
2
Determine the correct restrictor position (see the charts under
"Approved Vent Configurations" - the factory position is #1).
Lift up the adjustment plate and move it so the correct notch
falls into the slot on the adjustment bracket.
This restrictor is in position 1
(factory setting).
This restrictor is in position 7.
Adjustment
Bracket To adjust, lift up on the
adjustment plate and
push it back.
WARNING: Use a glove to protect
your hand from burns.
