ZERO CLEARANCE INSTALLATION - SPECIFICATIONS
READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL THROUGH BEFORE STARTING TO INSTALL A ZERO
CLEARANCE FIREPLACE. THERE ARE CERTAIN SPECIFICATIONS AND
MEASUREMENTS THAT MUST BE MET TO ENSURE A PROPER INSTALLATION.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE SPECIFICATIONS MAY PRESENT A FIRE HAZARD.
¥ This fireplace system is safe when installed according to this installation manual. Unless
you use components which have been designed and tested for this fireplace system, you
may cause a fire hazard.
¥ The Fireplace Xtrordinair warranty will be voided by, and Travis Industries disclaims any
responsibility for, the following actions:
a) Modifications of the fireplace components: doors, blower, air inlet systems, damper
control, or any other component supplied by Travis Industries.
b ) Use of any component part not manufactured or approved by Travis Industries in
combination with this fireplace system.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The specifications listed in this section are addressed in separate sections detailing each
portion of construction of a zero clearance fireplace (i.e. "Hearth", "Chase Framing", etc...). It
is very important to detail the building plans before starting to build. Certain portions of
construction, for example the facing, can affect other portions. Read through the entire list of
specifications before beginning to detail the building plans. Failure to totally understand this
type of construction may result in construction that will have to be torn down and re-built.
Travis Industries, Inc. recommends that the installer first read through the specifications and
installation instructions thoroughly. Then make a detailed floorplan that includes all
measurements of each portion of construction. After completing the detailed floorplan, go
through the detailed measurements and make sure they follow the items listed in the
specifications listed in this section.
Each portion of construction is listed in its own section that lists its specifications. Below is a
chart detailing each portion of construction along with a description that will help give a
complete picture of installing a zero clearance fireplace.

Fireplace Placement
To determine the most efficient location for the fireplace, consider such factors as room traffic,
location of doors and windows, and construction above and below the installation area. A
location that requires cutting the least number of joists or roof rafters will make the installation
easier and reduce the cost. This may mean moving only one or two inches from the selected
ideal location.

Fireplace Placement (Continued)
Determining the exact placement of the fireplace is crucial for construction and safety
purposes. Such factors as facing material depth and chimney location factor in to the final
location of the fireplace.
The fireplace is shipped with a lifting handle attached to each side. These handles should be
used to lift the fireplace into its final position and then removed with a 7/16" wrench.
Nail-Down Bracket
The Fireplace Xtrordinair is equipped with a nail-down bracket located near the rear of the
unit on each side. The lifting handle that comes attached to the fireplace is attached in the
rear to the nail-down bracket. After removing the lifting handle, bend this bracket down 90
degrees so that is flush with the flooring and nail it in place once the location of the fireplace
is determined.
Minimum Clearances
When determining the placement of the fireplace it is also important to calculate the minimum
clearance to combustibles. Minimum clearance to combustibles measured from the faceplate
of the Fireplace Xtrordinair should meet or exceed:

Corner Placement
If installing the fireplace into a corner, follow all of the specifications listed in this manual
along with the additional specifications listed in the illustration below. These minimum
clearances are:
¥ 26" from edge of zero clearance fireplace to sidewall (Face Wall Total Width = 102")
¥ 22 1/4" from sidewall to center of chimney pipe
¥ 46 1/2" from front of faceplate to corner

ZERO CLEARANCE INSTALLATION - SPECIFICATIONS (Cont.)
Chase Framing
The next consideration is the chase framing that surrounds the fireplace. The opening must
be framed to the dimensions shown in the illustration below for the size of the fireplace being
installed. Fireplace Xtrordinair suggests that the framing that is above the fireplace be
installed after the fireplace is installed to make the chimney installation easier. Consider
installing the fireplace in the desired location and then constructing the framing around it to
the proper clearances.
26"
45 1/2"
43"
When determining the depth, make sure to adhere to all of the minimum clearances outlined
in this manual. Make sure to carefully check all of the specifications and make a detailed
sketch outlining all the distances for this construction before beginning. If the chase does not
work out to be the desired depth based on the facing material, additional framing may be
added to the front of the existing framing to shim the facing to the needed location.
The chase may safely make direct contact with the spacers on the top, rear, and sides of the
fireplace.
WARNING: DO NOT PACK THE REQUIRED AIR SPACES AROUND THE
FIREPLACE OR BETWEEN THE SPACERS WITH INSULATION OR OTHER
MATERIALS.

ZERO CLEARANCE INSTALLATION - SPECIFICATIONS (Cont.)
Facing
Constructing a quality facing can
add extra beauty to the fireplace. It
must be made of a non-combustible
material such as stone, brick,
marble or tile. For thin facing such
as marble or tile a cement fiber
board can be used as a backing to
attach the facing material to.

Hearth
If the fireplace is set on a combustible floor, a hearth extension is required to protect it. It must
have a minimum of 1/2" of non-combustible material (1/2" cement fiberboard or equivalent)
between the combustible floor and the non-combustible hearth material (tile, marble, etc.). It
must extend a minimum of 20" in front of the fireplace and be a minimum of 52" wide. Raised
hearth extensions 6 1/2" and greater must have a minimum 18" depth. For raised hearth
extensions that go above the bottom of the fireplace to the bottom of the decorative faceplate,
non-combustible materials such as brick must be used. See the illustrations below for
additional specifications.

ZERO CLEARANCE INSTALLATION - SPECIFICATIONS (Cont.)
Cooling Vents
Located on the top rear corners of the fireplace are two 6" diameter air duct collars that must
be connected to 6" diameter air ducts that terminate outside. The purpose of the these air
ducts is to provide cooling air for the zero clearance fireplace and the air cooled chimney
system. Air is drawn into the ducts and circulated around the zero clearance fireplace. It then
exits through the outer liner of the chimney system, keeping the zero clearance fireplace and
chimney enclosure cool. The duct terminations must be located so they can not be
accidentally blocked in any manner (i.e. snow drifts). The table below details the maximum
horizontal run the duct may travel in relation to its vertical rise (see the illustration below):
When the vertical rise is between: The maximum horizontal run can be:
6' and 10' 5'
3' and 6' 15'
1' and 3' 20'
0' and 1' 25'
NOTE 1: As an option to drawing air from outside, the cooling air duct terminations can be
installed to draw air from a crawl space, attic, or garage. Check with your local building
inspections department to determine if this is acceptable in your area. In certain areas this
type of installation requires a certain type of duct termination like one with a fire curtain.
NOTE 2: The maximum number of elbows that can be used in the system are two.
WARNING: FAILURE TO VENT SYSTEM PROPERLY COULD CAUSE AN
EXTREME FIRE HAZARD.
Vertical cooling vent
terminations must terminate a
minimum of 10' away from the

ZERO CLEARANCE INSTALLATION - SPECIFICATIONS (Cont.)
Blower
The blower system on the Fireplace Xtrordinair is located away from the fireplace on an
outside wall. It draws air in from outside, circulating it around the fireplace, and delivering it
as heated air to the home. This type of blower system will create positive pressure inside the
home, reducing cold air infiltration.
Connecting the Blower Duct:
After a location for the fireplace has been determined, the location for the blower housing
must be considered. The best location for the blower housing is on an outside wall as close
as possible to the fireplace so the 6" blower duct can be easily connected. The maximum
length for 6" diameter duct is 15'. If a blower duct run of more than 15' is desired, 8" diameter
duct can be used. It can have a maximum distance of 25'. If 8" duct is used there will need to
be two 8" to 6" reducers to make the connections to the fireplace and the blower housing. Do
not put more than two elbows in the system (regardless of whether 6" or 8" diameter duct is
used).
NOTE 1: If the blower is to take air from a crawlspace or attic you must first check with your
local building inspections department to confirm that this type of installation is permitted. In
some areas this type of installation may require a special type of duct termination like one
with a fire curtain.

Blower Duct (Continued)
Provided with the fireplace is a start collar with a section of 6" flex duct that can be used as
the blower duct. The flex duct connects to the blower housing and the start collar connects to
one of the three blower duct hook-ups on the fireplace (right side, left side, and bottom). To
connect the blower duct to either of the side hook-ups, remove the cover plate on the side
being used, insert the start collar, and bend the locking tabs on the start collar outwards to
hold it in place. If the bottom hook-up is chosen, a hole needs to be cut through the floor for
the duct to pass through and the damper that directs the air flow inside the fireplace housing
needs to be removed before the fireplace is set in place. To remove the damper, first remove
the cover plate on the bottom of the fireplace. The damper is directly above this cover plate
and can be removed by bending it with pliers until it clears the hole. To attach the blower
duct to the bottom hook-up, insert the start collar past the location where the damper was until
it reaches the circular hole approximately 6" above the bottom of the fireplace. Insert the start
collar into this hole and bend the tabs on the start collar outwards to hold it in place.
If the blower is to be located directly to the side of the fireplace, make sure to allow at least 4"
seperation. A minimum 36" distance from the center of the fireplace to the face of the blower
housing is required. See the illustration below.

Weatherproofing the Blower:
The blower should be weatherproofed if it
is located on an external wall. To
weatherproof the blower, apply caulk
around the perimeter of the blower housing
where it contacts the external wall. The
blower cover must be removed prior to
applying the caulk. Because the blower
cover will overlap the caulk, apply the caulk
sparingly. See the illustration to the right.

Routing the Conduit:
CAUTION: DO NOT RUN THE CONDUIT OVER THE TOP OF THE FIREPLACE.
During assembly match the plug on the end of the wires coming from the blower conduit with
the plug coming from the top of the blower housing (See the drawing below). Then snap the
conduit connector into the hole on top of the blower housing. A metal junction box is required
between the conduit providing power to the fireplace and the 110 Volt A.C. power source. If
the blower is located to the left, or if the power supply is located to the left, the electrical
conduit(s) can be run behind the fireplace or fed through the fireplace housing. If the conduit
is run behind the fireplace, the framing or chase construction may need to be notched or
modified to allow for the extra space needed to run the conduit behind the fireplace. To feed
the conduit through the fireplace housing, remove the conduit cover plate on both sides of the
fireplace. The right side cover plate provides the additional room needed to feed the conduit
through the fireplace housing without kinking the conduit. Take the conduit and feed it
through the hole on the right side and out the left side. Make sure to take up all of the slack
after pulling it out the left side. Switch the cover plates by attaching the right cover plate to
the left side and vice-versa.

Factory-Built Chimney
The zero clearance installation is designed to be used with a factory-built double-wall
chimney. Use only the brands of chimney listed in this section. It is very important to follow
the clearance specifications listed in this section. The chimney can be installed at any point
after the fireplace position is precisely determined. It is easier to install the chimney in the
chase prior to setting the fireplace in position. It can be held up out of the way with a 2 x 4
nailed across the chase.
Connecting the Chimney to the Fireplace
This fireplace is designed to accommodate all of the brands of double-wall chimney listed in
this section of the installation manual. To attach the chimney to the fireplace, the fireplace
must be in its final position and the chimney connector that attaches to the fireplace must also
be ready to be installed.
The fireplace has outer liner connectors and an inner liner that has a ledge along the inside.
When attaching the chimney to the fireplace, first slide down the inner liner of the chimney
pipe into the inner liner of the fireplace. Certain brands of chimney pipe will stop at the ledge,
while others will insert beyond the ledge. When the chimney pipe is fully seated and aligned,
drill three holes in the chimney pipe where it lines up with the holes in the fireplace inner
liner. Secure the fireplace to the chimney pipe with three sheet metal screws. If there are
any large gaps between the chimney pipe and fireplace, use furnace cement to seal (allow
24 hours to dry before burning the fireplace). The outer liner of the chimney pipe attaches to
the outer liner connectors. Depending on the chimney pipe diameter, the position of the
outer liner connectors may need to be adjusted. Drill holes into the outer liner of the chimney
pipe where it lines up with the holes in the connectors. Secure with sheet metal screws.
Then secure the outer liner connectors to the top of the fireplace with sheet metal screws if
their position has been changed. See the illustration below.
