Installation Overview

INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)PAGE 5
Fireplace Placement Requirements
Minimum Framing Dimensions
We recommend installing the
shaded framing members
after installing the chimney.
Arrange the framing
members so there is not a
vertical member directly in
the center of the opening
where it would interfere with
pipe clearances.
26"
Header
(install veritcally to
ensure proper pipe to
header clearance)
A firestop is required at the top of
the fireplace enclosure or ceiling
level (whichever is lower).
Min. 4-1/2"
NOTE: make sure the
enclosure is wide enough to
accommodate the blower
(see the section"Blower" for
details).
The fireplace enclosure must not be
less than 81" above the base of the
fireplace.
•If the fireplace is raised, the
enclosure height must be raised to
maintain the 81".
•Do not build into this area.
•Do not slope the walls inward.
•The header, vertical framing
members, and all interior wall
surfaces may protrude a maximum
4" into this area.
50"
50-1/2"
•The fireplace uses 1/2" standoffs on the back and sides and 4" stand-offs on the top to space the
fireplace away from framing members or walls. These stand-offs may contact the framing members or
walls but do not place insulation or other material in the space between the stand-offs and fireplace.

Travis Industries
recommends the chase
around the fireplace be
insulated. This insulation
should only be placed
between the framing
members and secured so
it does not fill the space
between the fireplace and
standoffs.
Bend this bracket down
on each side and nail it
to the floor, securing the
fireplace in position.
These lifting handles are
removed (use a 7/16" wrench)
once the fireplace is in place.
Standoffs (also
located on back)
The fireplace (and
firebox) must be made
level and plumb during
installation. Use shims
under the fireplace to
properly level the
fireplace.

•The fireplace must be secured to the floor (use the lifting handle brackets - see illustration above).
•Fireplace must be placed directly on wood or non-combustible surface (not on linoleum or carpet)

PAGE 6INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)
•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.
Place this ember
strip under the front
of the fireplace and
the back edge of the
hearth.
NOTE: On the 36 ZC,
36 BI, and 44 BI the
ember strip will need to
be shortened.
The ember strip
insures no ember falls
between the fireplace
and hearth onto the
combustible floor.

INSTRUCTIONS
Clearances
•When installed, walls in front of the fireplace must be a minimum 18" to the side of the faceplate (or
15-1/2" from the side of the fireplace) – see the illustration on page 2
•Fireplace should be located such that no doors, drapes, furniture or other combustibles can be placed
close or swing closer than the minimum 36" clearance. Due to the high heat output of this fireplace,
choose a location away from high traffic areas.
•Fireplace must be placed so the vents below and above the glass do not become blocked

Cooling Vents
!The cooling vents provide cooling air for the fireplace and chimney system.
Failure to correctly install the cooling vents will lead to an extremely
dangerous installation and possibly a fire.
•The two cooling vents must be installed so as to route air from the outside to the two starter collars
on the top rear corners of the fireplace. Secure the vents to the collars using high-temperature
aluminum tape and/or sheet metal screws.
•A maximum of two 90° bends may be used on each vent. However, if a 180° bend is placed directly
off the starter collar, one additional 90° bend may be used.
•The maximum distance for the cooling ducts is listed below:
When the vertical rise is
between: The maximum horizontal run may be:
6' and 10' (max) 5'
3' and 6' 15'
1' and 3' 20'
0' and 1' 25'
•Included with the fireplace are two 12' lengths of vent, use a connector and seal if adding more length
•The duct terminations must be located so they can not be blocked (e.g. snow drifts)
•Included with the
fireplace is a set of
storm collars and vent
hoods. Place the
collars around the
vent on the exterior
and attach with screws
or caulking to seal the
wall from the vent
penetration. Place the
hood, with open
portion facing down,
over the cooling vents

Chimney Connection to Fireplace
•Each brand of chimney has a slightly different outside diameter. To accommodate this, the fireplace
has three "L" brackets (outer liner connectors) on the top of the fireplace can. Center a section of
chimney over the chimney opening and mark the exterior location of the chimney. Then reposition
the "L" brackets, if necessary, so they are directly adjacent the exterior of the chimney. Use a drill
with a 5/16" driver bit to re-install the "L" brackets (use the existing sheet metal screws).
Outer Pipe Brackets
Use sheet metal screws to attach
the outer liner to these brackets.
Inner Liner (ledge along
inside accepts differed
sized chimney pipes)
If the outer pipe does not line up
with the brackets, remove the
brackets and re-attach them to
the top of the fireplace.
Connect the inner pipe to
the inner liner with three
sheet metal screws.
•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).

etc... 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 (frequently above 5') must also be braced.

•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
•Elbows may be used directly off the top of the
fireplace (maintain a 5" clearance to combustibles
on the back wall, 4 1/2" minimum on the front wall
and header, and 18" minimum to the side walls)
•The table below details the amount of offset ("X")
and rise ("R") gained from various chimney
lengths when used with 30° elbows. Make sure to
add the amounts for both elbows. Two sections
may be added together to form a combined length.
For example, 12" and 18" Temco chimney sections
give an offset of 17-5/8" (3-7/8" + 5-3/8" + 8-3/8"
= 17-5/8"). The rise ("R") equals 38-1/8" (14-3/8"
+ 9-1/4" + 14-1/2" = 38-1/8").

Clearances to Combustibles
!Follow the clearances listed below - do not follow the clearances listed in the chimney instructions
•Maintain a 2" clearance from the chimney to combustibles (measured horizontally)
•Use offsets, if necessary, to maintain clearances
•In the area above the fireplace before the chimney penetrates the ceiling (use a firestop), the chimney
must maintain the clearances listed below:
5" to the rear of the chimney
4-1/2" to the front of the chimney
Min. Clearance 2" (from this
point upwards)
Min. 4-1/2" clearance
to the front.
Min. 2" clearance to
the sides with offsets
Min. 5" clearance
to the rear.
Firestop
The fireplace enclosure must not be
less than 81" above the base of the
fireplace.
•If the fireplace is raised, the
enclosure height must be raised to
maintain the 81".
•Do not build into this area.
•Do not slope the walls inward.
•The header, vertical framing
members, and all interior wall
surfaces may protrude a maximum
4" into this area.
Firestops
•Whenever the chimney penetrates a floor or
ceiling a firestop is required on the bottom side
of the floor joists
•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:
Temco 16"
Superior 16 1/2"
FMI 16 1/2"
Marco 16 1/2"
NOTE: Many firestops are
designed for a 1"
clearance, this fireplace
requires a 2" clearance.

Framing the Roof
•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.
•The table below may be used to determine the appropriate framing size.
When installing into a sloped roof, it is important to determine the size of
the framing for clearance purposes. Use the appropriate column for 2 x 4 or
2 x 6 rafters. It is not necessary to frame around the hole opening if the
clearance to combustibles can be maintained between two rafters. Framing Size

Chimney Termination Requirements
•The chimney must terminate a minimum 3' above the roof and 2' above any portion within 10' (measured horizontally).
This applies to flat and sloped roofs.
•The chimney must have a
chimney cap
• When using a chase to enclose a
chimney, the chimney termination
is not required to be 3' above the
chase as long as the chase is
above the roof structure. The
chimney cap must still maintain
the 2, 3, 10 clearance to any other
structure. See the illustration to
the right.
•Chimneys extending beyond a
certain height (frequently 5')
above the roof may require braces
(check the chimney instructions
for details)
?In some problematic situations,
additional chimney height above
the specified minimums may be
necessary to reduce wind-induced
down drafting and back puffing,
or to increase draft, thereby
improving fireplace operating
characteristics.

Finalizing the Installation
! ACID WASH WARNING: Before installing the faceplate, make sure any masonry that has been
treated with acid wash has been properly neutralized (this is used primarily with brick faces). Acid
wash (muriatic acid) is used to remove excess mortar. If not properly neutralized with an ammonia
solution, the gold face may develop a permanent tarnish when the acid evaporates over time.
!
WOOD SCRAP WARNING : Never burn wood scraps in the fireplace. Treated wood breaks down
the catalyst inside the fireplace, decreasing efficiency and increasing emissions.
1Remove the set-up face using a phillips screwdriver included with the faceplate.
Use a phillips screwdriver to remove
the 12 screws holding the set-up
face in place.
