Fireplace Placement Requirements
Minimum Framing Dimensions
The 1Ó stand-offs along the front corners, the 1Ó clearance requirement around the sides and back,
and the 10-1/2" stand-offs on the top of the fireplace separate the fireplace from combustible
materials (e.g.: combustible framing members, plywood, sheetrock, paper-backed insulation). The
stand-offs may contact the framing members but no material may be placed between the stand-offs or
into the required 1Ó clearance to the sides and back

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. 12" space
centered behind 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.

8Installation (for qualified installers only)
Travis Industries 93508109 180501
Clearances
•When installed, walls in front of the fireplace must be a minimum 3-1/2" 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
Vertical Standoff
•The vertical standoff above the fireplace must be erected prior to installation. See the illustration
below for instructions.
The vertical standoff is
shipped swiveled down.
Rotate the standoff
upwards into place.

Vent Requirements
!The vent must maintain the required clearance to combustible materials to prevent a fire (see
ÒClearancesÓ 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.

¥ Apply high-temperature silicone to the inner and outer pipe before assembling the sections (on the
male, upper section). This seals the inner pipe from the outer pipe. Slide the sections together and
turn 1/4 turn until the sections lock in place. Install three metal screws through each joint to lock the
outer section in place (see the instructions included with the vent for further details).
Apply a 1/8" (3 mm)
bead of high-
temperature silicone
to the inner and
outer pipe. The
silicone must seal
the inner pipe from

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 fireplace cool,
reach behind the gas
control valve.
To Adjust the Restrictor:
To Access the Restrictor:

NOTE: The fireplace is shipped with the
restrictor in position #1 (fully open).
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.
