4 Safety Precautions
© Travis Industries 9/22/2021 - 1561 4237 EG
Safety Warnings:
Failure to follow all of the requirements may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.
Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room
as the appliance. Toddlers, young children, and others may be susceptible to
accidental contact burns. A physical barrier is recommended if there are at risk
individuals in the house. To restrict access to a fireplace or stove, install an
adjustable safety gate to keep toddlers, young children, and other at risk
individuals out of the room and away from hot surfaces.
Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperature
and should stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition. Do not touch the hot
surfaces of the heater. Educate all children of the danger of a high-temperature
heater.
Due to the high temperature, the heater should be located out of traffic and away
from furniture and draperies.
This unit must be installed by a qualified installer to prevent the possibility of an explosion.
This appliance must be installed in accordance with all local codes if any; if not, in U.S.A. follow ANSI
Z223.1 and NFPA 54(88), in Canada follow CSA B149.1. In Australia follow AS/NZS 5601.1.
A manufactured home (USA only) or mobile home OEM installation must conform with the
Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280, or, when such a
standard is not applicable, the Standard for Manufactured Home Installations, ANSI/NCSBCS
A225.1, or Standard for Gas Equipped Recreational Vehicles and Mobile Housing, CSA Z240.4. This
appliance may be installed in Manufactured Housing only after the home is site located.
All exhaust gases must be vented outside the structure of the living area. Combustion air is drawn
from outside the living-area structure. The venting must not be connected to a chimney flue serving a
separate solid-fuel burning appliance.
Notify your insurance company before hooking up this fireplace.
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.
This heater is approved for use with natural gas (NG) or 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.
Contact your local building officials to obtain a permit and information on any installation restrictions
or inspection requirements in your area.
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 imperative that control compartments, screens, or circulating air passageways of the heater be
kept clean and free of obstructions. These areas provide the air necessary for safe operation.
Do not operate the heater if 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.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable liquids in the vicinity of this heater.
Do not operate if any portion of the heater was submerged in water or if any corrosion occurs.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the
control system and any gas control which has been underwater.

Safety Precautions 5
© Travis Industries 9/22/2021 - 1561 4237 EG
Safety Warnings (continued)
Because this heater can be controlled by a thermostat there is a possibility of the heater turning on
and igniting any items placed on or near the appliance.
Light the heater using the built-in igniter. Do not use matches or any other external device to light
your heater.
Never remove, replace, modify or substitute any part of the heater unless instructions are given in this
manual. All other work must be done by a trained technician. Don't modify or replace orifices.
The viewing glass should be opened only for conducting service.
Allow the heater to cool before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning.
Operate the heater according to the instructions included in this manual.
If the main burners do not start correctly turn the gas off and call your dealer for service.
This unit is not for use with solid fuel.
Do not place anything inside the firebox (except the optional artwork).
Warning: Do not operate appliance with the glass front removed, cracked, or broken. Replacement
of the glass should be done by a licensed or qualified service person.
Do not throw this manual away. This manual has important operating and maintenance instructions
that you will need at a later time. Always follow the instructions in this manual.
Instruct everyone in the house how to shut the gas off to the appliance and at the gas main shutoff
valve. The gas main shutoff valve is usually next to the gas meter or propane tank and requires a
wrench to shut off.
Clothing or other flammable material should not be placed on or near the appliance.
Any safety screen, guard, or barrier removed for servicing an appliance must be replaced prior to
operating the appliance.
Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person. The appliance should be
inspected before use and at least annually by a professional service person. More frequent cleaning
might be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, et cetera. It is imperative
that control compartments, burners, and circulating air passageways of the appliance be kept clean.
Travis Industries, Inc. grants no warranty, implied or stated, for the installation or
maintenance of your heater, and assumes no responsibility for any consequential damage(s).

Fireplace Unboxing and Moving Into Position
This fireplace is larger than most fireplaces and requires special attention when moving into position. The
directions below are intended as a guideline for this process.
WARNING
Do not lift the fireplace from below with lifting forks. This may cause the base to bend
and warp
WARNING
Always use proper lifting techniques when moving heavy objects (bend your knees, not
your back).
We recommend using the Travis Industries lifting handles (sku 98500711) for moving the fireplace. See
the instructions included with the brackets for installation instructions.
1. Unpack the fireplace.
2. Remove the screen box in front of the firebox opening and place it aside.
3. Remove the glass frame and place it aside (the glass tool is located inside the fireplace to the
right).
4. The fireplace may now be moved into location once the internal components have been removed.
We recommend using the Travis Industries lifting handles (sku 98500711) for this process. The
handles attach to the two brackets attached to the side of the fireplace.
5. Unscrew the bolts on the side of the fireplace that secures the brackets to the pallet.
6. Move the fireplace into position, taking care not to damage the fireplace or surrounding area. If
you do wish to move the fireplace with a forked stove lift (e.g. Escalara), we recommend lifting
from the firebox roof (place 2x4’s into the firebox to distribute the load).
7. Once the fireplace is near its final position, remove the shipping brackets from the side of the
fireplace and slide it into place.

Televisions Placed Above the Fireplace
The following section gives guidelines to place a television above the fireplace.
IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING TELEVISIONS AND THIS FIREPLACE
Most television manufacturers instruct the homeowner not to place the television above a heat source like this
fireplace. Doing so may decrease the longevity of the television and negate the warranty. If you do place a television
above the fireplace, you should place a mantel (or build-out) between the fireplace and television (or use a
CoolSmart TV Wall™ kit). Follow the guidelines below to reduce the amount of heat reaching the television. Travis
Industries does not take responsibility for any negative impact on televisions placed near this fireplace.
Minimum Dimensions:
(a) Minimum Mantel Height above Base of Fireplace* 56” (1448mm) with 8” (203mm) mantel depth*
(b) Mantel Depth* Minimum 8” (203mm)* Maximum 12” (305mm)
(c) Optional Columns (or Build-Out) Must Meet Side Wall Clearances: 0” (0mm)
(Measured to the side of fireplace ZC-can)
* Minimum mantel depth must be 8” to allow heat to dissipate. If using a mantel larger than 8”, make sure to
adjust the mantel height (a) to meet the mantel clearance (see mantel requirements and/or chart above).
The mantel must extend 2” in front of the television and 1” to both sides.
If you have a television that is greater than 6” deep (including the 1” gap behind), you will need to alter the
mantel depth and height (see the example below).
The television must have a 1” gap to the wall to allow for proper cooling. Any build-out near the television
must maintain a 3” gap to the top and sides to prevent heat from being trapped near the television.
EXAMPLE: If you have a television that is 9” deep (including the 1” gap behind), the mantel must be 11”. The mantel
height would need to be 56-3/4” above the base of the fireplace.
WIRING NOTE: If running wiring into the enclosure, you may wish to use thermal insulating wrap around the wiring.
Secure the wiring to protect from contact with hot surfaces.

Nailing Brackets – Standard Install
The fireplace has three (3) nailing brackets on each side. In the “standard” position, the brackets are
flush with the front edge of the fireplace (see illustration below). This allows for the facing
underlayment (such as HardieBacker® cement board other non-combustible) to cover the front of the
fireplace and butt up to the drywall (see “Facing Requirements” for details). This style of installation
should be used for tile and cultured stone finishes. Once the fireplace is properly placed, secure the
fireplace to the framing (see illustration below).
NOTE: Make sure the fireplace is square and plumb when placed in the framing. Measured corner-
to-corner the fireplace should be square. Use shims to ensure the fireplace is square.

Nailing Brackets – Extended Install (Slab Over)
The fireplace has three (3) nailing brackets on each side. In the “extended” position, the brackets are
1/2” (13mm) from the front edge of the fireplace (see illustration below). This allows slab material,
such as marble, granite, or other natural stone slabs to be placed over the fireplace and surrounding
drywall (see “Facing Requirements” for details). Once the fireplace is properly placed, secure the
fireplace to the framing (rotate the nailing brackets as shown below).
NOTE: Make sure the fireplace is square and plumb when placed in the framing. Measured corner-
to-corner the fireplace should be square. Use shims to ensure the fireplace is square.

Only direct vent sealed combustion products are approved for bedrooms or bathrooms.
Fireplace dampers must be removed or welded in the open position prior to the installation of a fireplace insert or gas log.
A carbon monoxide (CO) detector is required in the same room as the appliance.
The gas line must be installed in accordance with all local codes and the requirements listed below.
In the absence of local codes, follow ANSI 223.1 in US/Canada or AS/NZS 5601.1 in Australia.
The fireplace and gas control valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPA). For pressures under
1/2 psig (3.5 kPA), isolate the gas supply piping by closing the manual shutoff valve.
Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior to and after starting the fireplace.
This unit has been listed using the included internal gas shutoff valve.
Fuel
This fireplace is designed either for natural gas or for propane (but not for both).
Gas Line Connection
Installation must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier (In Massachusetts a
licensed plumber/gasfitter).
Gas Inlet Pressure
Maximum Input Pressure Minimum Input Pressure
Natural Gas 7" W.C. (1.74 kPA) 5.5” W.C. (1.37 kPA)
Propane 13" W.C. (3.23 kPA) 11” W.C. (2.74 kPA)
If the pressure is not sufficient, make sure the piping used is large enough, the supply regulator is adequately
adjusted, and the total gas load for the residence does not exceed the amount supplied.
The supply regulator (the regulator that attaches directly to the residence inlet or the propane tank) should supply
gas at the input pressure listed above. Contact the local gas supplier if the regulator is at an improper pressure.
Gas Line Location
The gas line is located on the left side of the appliance in the location shown below. The gas inlet
accepts a 1/2” FPT.

Directions for Connecting a Gas
Pressure Test Gauge
The gas control valve (shown to the left)
has two accessible ports for testing line
pressure and output pressure. Loosen the
brass screw on either test port and place a
5/16” i.d. rubber or plastic tubing over the
tapered test port. Connect the tubing to the
test gauge.
WARNING: The brass screw must be
tightened after testing to prevent gas
leakage.
