Installation Warnings
• Read this entire manual before installin the fireplace.
• Failure to install this fireplace in accordance with all local codes and the requirements listed in
this manual may result in property dama e, bodily injury, or even death.
• Notify your insurance company before installin this fireplace.
• The requirements listed below are divided into sections. All requirements must be met
simultaneously. The order of installation is not ri id – the qualified installer should follow the
procedure best suited for the installation.
• Modifications of the fireplace (doors, blower, air inlet systems, damper control, or any other
component supplied by Travis Industries) or use of any component part not approved by Travis
Industries in combination with this fireplace system will void the listin and warranty.
• This fireplace is not approved for use in a mobile home.
• Travis Industries, Inc. grants no warranty, implied or stated, for the installation or
maintenance of your heater, and assumes no responsibility of any consequential
damage s).
Operating Warnings
• WARNING: FIREPLACE SHOULD BE OPERATED ONLY WITH DOORS FULLY OPEN OR
DOORS FULLY CLOSED. IF DOORS ARE LEFT PARTLY OPEN, GAS AND FLAME MAY BE
DRAWN OUT OF THE FIREPLACE OPENING, CREATING RISKS OF BOTH FIRE AND SMOKE.
• Creosote – Formation and Need for Removal
When wood is burned slowly it produces tar and other or anic vapors which combine with
expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool
chimney flue of a slow-burnin fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue
linin . When i nited this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
The chimney shall be inspected at least twice a year durin the heatin season to determine
when a creosote buildup has occurred.
When creosote has accumulated it shall be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
• Never use asoline, asoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal li hter fluid, or similar liquids
to start or ‘freshen up’ a fire in this fireplace. Keep all such liquids well away from the fireplace
while it is in use.
• Disposal of Ashes
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a ti ht-fittin lid. These closed container of
ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the round, well away from all
combustible materials, pendin final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or
otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders
have thorou hly cooled.
• Do not use a fireplace insert or other products not specified for use with this fireplace.
• Do not poke or stir the lo s while they are burnin . Use only firelo s that have been evaluated
for the application in fireplace and refer to firelo warnin s and caution markin s on packa in
prior to use. Do not use firelo s that contain anythin other than wood.

Installation Requirements for Cold Environments
If you live in the area depicted in black (see Figure 4),
you must Install a cooling air “P” trap as detailed below
and install the blower on an internal wall. In addition,
make sure the homeowner follows the requirements
shown below to help minimize cold air being pulled into
the fireplace when it is not in use.
Figure 4
Install the Blower in an Internal Location
In cold environments the blower must be positioned
on an internal wall (see Figure 5). This eliminates
any chance of any outside air being drawn into the
convection chamber from the blower location.
NOTE: Do not place the blower inside a garage or
other area that may circulate fumes.

Negative Press re Warning
The Fireplace Xtrordinair wood fireplace relies upon natural convection to supply cooling air to the
fireplace. If installed into a house experiencing negative pressure, air may be pulled into the fireplace.
This leads to the face becoming cold while the fireplace is not in use, and in severe cases, air being pulled
into the room.
What Causes Negative Pressure
Today’s air-tight homes are not 100% air tight. If air leaks are found at the top of the home enclosure, air
may be pulled through the home due to convection (the warmer air moves upwards, leaving the home,
causing air to be pulled into the home from different location). See Figure 7 below.
Heated air, leaving the house in cracks
near the ceiling contribute to negative
pressure.
AA
AA
Driers or range fans
contribute to negative
pressure.
Cracks near doors or
windows can contribute to
negative pressure.
Air can be pulled down the
chimney, into the firebox.
The cooling air* can be heated by the
house, causing syphoning. This pulls
cool air through the cooling channel,
leading to fireplace cooling.
*Cooling air is required by the fireplace
to prevent overheating.
Negative pressure can cause air
to be pulled through the blower,
through the duct, through the
fireplace convection channel and
into the house.
Recessed lighting in ceilings may allow air to infiltrate
into the attic, leading to negative pressure.
Figure 7
How to Measure Negative Pressure
Digital pascal meters (also called “pressure meters”, digital “manometers”) can measure negative pressure
readings inside a home. They typically cost around $600. They measure pascals (1 pascal is equal to
.004”Water Column). Typical homes have 0 to -1 pascals. Homes with negative pressure have -2 or more
(we have measured homes with upwards of -8 pascals). We strongly recommend measuring the pressure
in homes suspected of encountering negative pressure. This allows the homeowner, and fireplace
installer, to view an objective measurement.
How to Remedy Negative Pressure
The only proven method to reduce negative pressure is to install an “air exchanger”. This device allows
outside air to enter the home after going through a “heat exchanger”to minimize cold infiltration.

Clearances
• The fireplace uses 1/2" standoffs on the back and sides and " 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.
• When installed, walls in front of the fireplace must be a minimum 18" to the side of the
faceplate (15-1/2” from the side of the fireplace). See Figure 3 on page 7.
• 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.
Raised Fireplaces
• If the fireplace is raised, the fireplace enclosure must be raised as well (minimum 81” enclosure
height from base of fireplace see Figure 8).
• The fireplace (and hearth, if desired) may be placed on a platform designed to support the
fireplace and vent (approximately 600 lbs.). See Figure 12.

Cooling Vent Req irements
WARNING: 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 to rear corners of the fire lace. Secure the vents to the collars using high-
tem erature aluminum ta e and/or sheet metal screws.
• A maximum of two 90° bends may be used on each vent. However, if a 180° bend is laced
directly above the starter collar, one additional 90° bend may be used (see Figure 13).
• 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 fire lace 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
fire lace 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
enetration. Place the
hood, with o en
ortion facing down,
over the cooling vents
and secure.
• The cooling air duct
terminations may be
installed to draw air
from a ventilated crawl

Chimney Installation
• Each brand of chimney has a slightly different outside diameter. To accommodate this, the
fire lace has three "L" brackets (outer liner connectors) on the to of the fire lace can. Center
a section of chimney over the chimney o ening and mark the exterior location of the chimney.
Re osition the "L" brackets, if necessary, so they are adjacent the exterior of the chimney (see
Figure 19).
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.
Figure 19
• When attaching the chimney to the fire lace, first slide down the inner liner of the chimney
i e into the inner liner of the fire lace. Certain brands of chimney i e will sto at the ledge,
while others will insert beyond the ledge. When the chimney i e is fully seated and aligned,
drill three holes in the chimney i e where it lines u with the holes in the fire lace inner liner.
Secure the fire lace to the chimney i e with three sheet metal screws. If there are any large
ga s between the chimney i e and fire lace, use furnace cement to seal (allow 24 hours to
dry before burning the fire lace).
• De ending on the manufacturer and where the chimney is to be installed, chimney su orts,
roof braces, radiation shields, attic insulation shields, attic enclosures, s ark arrestors, locking
bands, etc... may be required as art of the chimney system. The manufacturer's installation
instructions, which are reviewed by the listing agency, s ecifies when and where each of these
com onents must be used. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the use of flashing and an
adjustable storm collar at the roof line to revent water from entering the house. Manufacturers
require that chimneys extending beyond a certain height above the roof (frequently above 5')
must also be braced.

Chimney Height
• Minimum 15'
system height
(measured from the
base of the
fire lace)
• Maximum 35'
system height
(measured from the
base of the
fire lace)
NOTE: In some
roblematic situations,
additional chimney
height above the
s ecified minimum
may be necessary to
reduce wind-induced
down drafting and back
uffing, or to increase
draft, thereby im roving
fire lace o erating
characteristics.
Chimney must be totally
enclosed when passing
through living space with a
minimum 2" clearance to
combustibles.

Offset Requirements (30° Elbows)
• Offsets (using a air of 30° elbows) may be used to
redirect the chimney. Ty ically this is done to avoid
structures, align the i e with framing, or to gain
clearance to combustibles (see Figure 22).
• A maximum four 30° elbows may be used.
• 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 su ort is
required
• Elbows may be used directly off the to of the
fire lace (maintain a 5" clearance to combustibles
on the back wall, 4 1/2" minimum on the front wall
and header, and 2" 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 (see Figure 21). Make
sure to add the amounts for both elbows. Two
sections may be added together to form a combined
length. For exam le, 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").

Chimney Clearances to Combustibles
WARNING: 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). See
Figure 23.
• Use offsets, if necessary, to maintain clearances
• In the area above the fire lace before the chimney enetrates the ceiling (use a firesto ), 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.

Firestops
WARNING: Many firesto s are designed for a 1" clearance,
this fire lace requires a 2" clearance.
• Whenever the chimney enetrates a floor or ceiling a
firesto is required on the bottom side of the floor joists
(see Figure 24).
• When assing through an attic the firesto must be
laced on the attic side of the joists
• When the chimney asses through a living s ace it must
be totally enclosed (maintain the minimum 2"
clearance to combustibles)
• The s ace between frames that hold the firesto in
lace should be measured as follows:
-- Temco 16"
-- Firecraft 16 1/2"
-- FMI 16 1/2"
-- Marco 16 1/2"

Framing the Roof
• Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the use of flashing and
an adjustable storm collar at the roof line to revent water from
entering the house.
• The table below may be used to determine the a ro riate
framing size (see Figure 25). When installing into a slo ed roof,
it is im ortant to determine the size of the framing for clearance
ur oses. Use the a ro riate column for 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 rafters. It
is not necessary to frame around the hole o ening if the
clearance to combustibles can be maintained between two
rafters.
