10 Stove Installation (for qualified installers only)
© Travis Industries 100-01282_000 4111128
Chimney Connector Requirements
•Chimney connector is required from the flue collar of the stove to the factory-built chimney or
masonry chimney.
•The chimney connector must be 6” (152mm) diameter and a minimum 24 gauge black steel, or one of
the reduced-clearance connectors listed on page 8.
NOTE: Aluminum or galvanized steel is not allowed – these materials cannot withstand the flue
temperatures and may give off toxic fumes when heated.
NOTE: Standard residential installations may use single-wall connector (Mobile-Homes may not).
•The chimney connector may not pass through a ceiling, attic, roof, closet, or any other concealed
space (use listed UL 103 HT chimney – see “Chimney Requirements for details). DO NOT USE
CONNECTOR PIPE AS CHIMNEY.
•IN CANADA: Where passage through a wall or partition of combustible construction is desired, the
installation shall conform to CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and
Equipment.
•The chimney connector should be as short and direct as possible. No more than 180oof elbows (two 90o
elbows, or two 45o& one 90oelbow, etc.) may be used for the entire system (connector and chimney).
Horizontal runs should slope upwards 1/4” (6mm) per foot and be a maximum 36” (914mm) long.
•The chimney connector must be installed with the crimped end pointing downwards. This prevents
creosote from leaking to the exterior of the pipe.
•The chimney connector must be fastened to the stove and each adjoining section (and chimney).
•Standard residential installations with reduced clearance connector may use the clearance determined
by the manufacturer of the connector for the connector to wall clearance or the clearance listed in this
manual. Offsets must be used to maintain the stove to wall clearance. Mobile homes must use the
clearances listed in this manual under "Additional Requirements for Mobile Home Installations".

Chimney Requirements
•DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
•DO NOT CONNECT TO OR USE IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCTWORK
UNLESS SPECIFICALLY APPROVED FOR SUCH INSTALLATIONS
•IN CANADA: This appliance must be connected to a factory-built chimney conforming to CAN/ULC-
S629, Standard for 650°C Factory-Built Chimneys.
•UL 103 HT Chimney must be used from the first ceiling or floor or wall penetration to the chimney
cap.
•Use 6" (152mm) diameter type UL 103 HT chimney from one manufacturer (do not mix brands) or
code approved masonry chimney with a flue liner.
•Chimney must be fastened to each adjoining section.
•Follow the chimney manufacturer's clearances and requirements.
•Use the chimney manufacturer's fire stops, attic guards, roof supports, and flashings when passing
through a ceiling and roof (see “b” and “d” below).
•No more than 180oof elbows (two 90oelbows, or two 45o& one 90oelbow, etc.) may be used for the
entire system (connector and chimney).
NOTE: Additional elbows may be allowed if draft is sufficient. Whenever elbows are used the draft is
adversely affected. Additional chimney height may be required to boost draft.
(a) Min. System Height 15’ (4.5M)
Max. System Height 33’ (10.058M)
(b) Roof Penetration and Termination (see
chimney manufacturer’s requirements)
(c) Chimney Sections
(d) Ceiling Penetration (see chimney

(f) Connector – see “Chimney Connector” on
the previous page.
Figure 4
Drafting
Performance This appliance relies upon natural draft to operate. External forces, such as wind,
barometric pressure, topography, or factors of the home (negative pressure from exhaust
fans, chimneys, air infiltration, etc.), may adversely affect draft. Travis Industries cannot be
responsible for external forces leading to less than optimal performance.

Exterior Factory-Built Chimney
A vertical rise of 84” of chimney connector is required, measured from the floor, before entering a Class
‘A’ wall penetration. For those wishing to pass the chimney through the lower wall, a NFPA 211 wall
pass-through may be used (if approved by local building codes).
Wall Penetrations Under 84”
In cases where the chimney connector must be passed through a combustible wall or partition under 84”,
the following NFPA 211 method may be used if local building codes permit. Check with local authorities
before installation to insure all necessary requirements have been met. Figure 12 details a wall pass-
through based on the NFPA 211 standard. After the pass-through, Class A Chimney may be used in
accordance with the chimney installation instructions.
Figure 12
Wall Penetrations 84” or Greater
A vertical rise of 84” of chimney connector is required, measured from the floor, before entering a Class
‘A’ chimney wall penetration (see Figure 13 below). Note that the measurement is to the centerline of the

Safety Notice
If this appliance is not properly installed, a house fire may result. For your safety, follow the installation
directions. Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation inspection
requirements in your area.
Read and follow all of the warnings on pages 4 and 5 of this manual.
Do not operate this stove with the ash pan open. A fire
hazard will result.
Before Your First Fire
Verify the Installation:
Before starting the stove, verify that the stove is properly installed and all of the requirements in this
manual have been followed.
Keep all flammable materials 36" (914mm) away from the front of the stove (drapes, furniture, clothing, etc.).
Curing the Paint
This heater uses a heat-activated paint that will emit some fumes while
starting the first fire. Open doors and windows to the room to vent these
fumes. This typically lasts two to four hours. You may also notice oil burning
off of the interior of the heater. This rust-stopping agent will soon dissipate.
Door Gasket - The door gasket might adhere to the paint on the front of the
heater. Leave the door slightly ajar for the first fire and be careful when
opening the door after the first fire.
Over-Firing the Stove
This stove was designed to operate at a high temperature. But due to differences in vent configuration,
fuel, and draft, this appliance can be operated at an excessive temperature. If the stove top or other area
starts to glow red, you are over-firing the stove. Shut the air control down to low and allow the stove to
cool before proceeding.
Over-firing may lead to damage. If you are uncertain of over-firing conditions, we suggest placing a
stove thermometer (e.g. Rutland® Model 710) directly in front of the flue outlet on the stovetop (see
photo below) −temperatures exceeding 700° are generally considered over-firing and will void the
warranty.

Opening the Door
The door becomes hot during use. Use a glove to open the door if the handle is hot.
Do not operate this stove with the door open. A fire hazard will result.
To prevent smoke from entering the room, open the air control and bypass (see instructions below)
before opening the door. You can also open the door a small amount and let air enter the firebox to
equalize the pressure, and then open the door fully.
Bypass Operation
The bypass controls the flow of smoke inside the heater. When pulled out, smoke goes directly up the
flue, creating more draft. When pushed in, the smoke goes around the baffle, utilizing the secondary
combustion and making the heater more efficient.
•When re-loading, pull the bypass out.
•During normal operation, push the bypass in.

Catalytic Combustor – Use and Cleaning
This heater uses a catalytic combustor to improve efficiency and reduce emissions. To work at
its optimum, the combustor must be kept free of excessive ash. If the heater becomes sluggish
when the bypass is closed, flyash may be building up on the combustor. See the directions
below to inspect and clean the combustor with the included brush.
Inspecting & Cleaning the Combustor
The combustor becomes very hot during operation. Let the heater cool before cleaning the combustor.
The combustor is located directly above
the firebox opening. Make sure the
square openings are open for air to pass
through. If ash is accumulating, use the
brush to clear off visible flyash.
NOTE: To thoroughly clean the
combustor, use an ash vacuum to pull
flyash from the combustor (see page 30).
