Chimney Requirements
• DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
• Chimney connector must be a minimum 24 MSG black or 26 MSG blued steel (6" diameter). Chimney
must
be used from the first floor or wall penetration to the chimney cap.
• Use 6" diameter type UL 103 HT chimneyfrom one manufacturer (do not mix brands) or code
approved masonry chimney with a flue liner.
• Chimney connector and chimney must be fastened to the stove and 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 or thimble when passing through a combustible wall.
• No more than 180" of elbows (two 90° elbows, or two 45° & one 90" elbow, etc.).
• 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.

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 can not be
responsible for external forces leading to less than optimal performance.
Standard residential installations may use single-wall connector (Mobile-Homes may not)
• 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"Mobile Home Requirements" on page 13.

Alcove Installation Requirements
Whenever the stove is placed in a location where the ceiling height is less than 7' tall, it is considered an
alcove installation. Because of the reduced height, the special installation requirements listed below must
be met.
• Chimney connector and chimney must be one of the following types:
AMERl-TEC model DCC with model HS chimney
DURAVENT model DVL with DURATEC or DURA-PLUS chimney
GSW Super Chimney Twenty~One connected directly to appliance
l.C.C. Excel (2100-2 Can.) (103-HT USA} chimney with HP connector
METALFAB model OW connector with TG chimney
OLIVER MACLEOD PROVENT model PV connector with model 3103 chimney
SECURITY model DP connector with SECURITY model ASHT or S2100 chimney
SELKIRK METALBESTOS model OS connector with model SSll chimney
Standard Masonry Chimney with any one of the above listed connectors
NOTE: Reduced clearance connectors may not connect to the flue collar- an appliance adapter may be required.
1 Alcoves are classified as combustible or non-combustible. Non-combustible alcoves must have
walls and a ceiling that are 3 1/2" thick of a non-combustible material (brick, stone, or concrete -
see Figure 9). This non-combustible material must be spaced and ventilated at least 1" off of all
combustible materials (walls, ceiling, etc.) to allow air to move around the non-combustible walls
and ceiling. All other alcoves are considered combustible. The clearances below must be met:
