4Safety Precautions
© Travis Industries 4100322 100-01237_000
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
* Do not light any appliance
* Extinguish any open flame
* Do not touch any electrical switch or plug or unplug anything
* Open windows and vacate building
* Call gas supplier from neighbor's house, if not reached, call fire department
This unit must be installed by a qualified installer to prevent the possibility of an explosion.
Your dealer will know the requirements in your area and can inform you of those people
considered qualified. The room heater should be inspected and cleaned before use and
at least annually by a qualified service person. More frequent cleaning may be required
due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc.
The instructions in this manual must be strictly adhered to. Do not use makeshift methods
or compromise in the installation. Improper installation will void the warranty and safety
listing.
This heater is either approved for natural gas (NG) or for propane (LP). Burning
the incorrect fuel will void the warranty and safety listing and may cause an
extreme safety hazard. Direct questions about the type of fuel used to your dealer.
Check for a label on the flame adjust knob on the gas control valve (this is the best
place to check). You may also check for a label on the gas control valve body.
Ok
Contact your local building
officials to obtain a permit and
information on any installation
restrictions or inspection
requirements in your area.
Notify your insurance company
of this heater as well.
If the flame becomes sooty, dark
orange in color, or extremely tall,
do not operate the heater. Call
your dealer and arrange for
proper servicing.
It is imperative that control
compartments, screens, or
circulating air passageways of
the heater be kept clean and
free of obstructions. These
areas provide the air necessary
for safe operation. ?Do not operate the heater if it is
not operating properly in any
fashion or if you are uncertain.
Call your dealer for a full
explanation of your heater and
what to expect.
Gas
Do not store or use gasoline or
other flammable liquids in the
vicinity of this heater.

MASSACHUSETTS INSTALLATIONS - WARNING:
THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED BY A LICENSED PLUMBER OR GAS FITTER WHEN INSTALLED WITHIN THE
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS.
OTHER MASSACHUSETTS CODE REQUIREMENTS:
•Flexible connector must not be longer than 36 inches.
•Shutoff valve must be a “T” handle gas cock.
•Only direct vent sealed combustion products are approved for bedrooms or bathrooms.
•Fireplace dampers must be removed or welded in the open position prior to the installation of a fireplace insert or gas log.
•A carbon monoxide (CO) detector is required in the same room as the appliance.
•The gas line must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, follow ANSI 223.1 and
the requirements listed below.
•A manual shutoff valve is required within 3’ of the heater. It should be placed upstream of the flex
line (if used) and may be installed behind the access door inside the heater. ).
•The heater and gas control valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig. For pressures under 1/2 psig,
isolate the gas supply piping by closing the manual shutoff valve.
•Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior to and after starting the heater.
•This heater is designed either for natural gas or for propane (but not for both). Check the sticker on
the top of the gas control valve to make sure the correct fuel is used (see illustration on page 4).
•Installation must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier (In
Massachusetts a licensed plumber/gasfitter).
Gas Line Location
The gas inlet
accepts a 1/2" MPT.

Vent Requirements
•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.
•Make sure the exhaust pipe on the heater connects to the exhaust portion of the cap. The
illustrations below show how the flex liners should be attached.
•The exhaust vent must reline the entire length of the chimney and terminate above the chimney top
•Be careful not to crimp or rupture the liner when bending it into chimney offsets
•When installed, the vent must meet all of the vent manufacturer's requirements
•Make sure to use the following:
4” UL 441 or 1777 Gas Liner for Exhaust, 3” UL 441 or 1777 Gas Liner for Air Inlet
Simpson Duravent 6-5/8” to 3” & 4” Co-Linear Adapter and Flashing (Travis Part # 98900124).

Altitude Considerations
•This heater has been tested at altitudes ranging from sea level to 6,000 feet (1,800 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.

Vent Restrictor
WARNING: Restrictor adjustment should only be done by a qualified installer.
Only those installations determined to be over-drafting require this adjustment. The best indication of
over-drafting is a hyper-active flame pattern (flames that move too quickly). If the air shutter is
constricted, the flames become short and yellow, yet still very active. Over-drafting may affect the pilot,
but this is not the best way to determine over-drafting. Over-drafting is most likely in tall venting
configurations (especially if using an “Exhaust Only Re-Line”). Do not over-restrict the vent (this leads to
ghosting or lifting flames - reduce restrictor setting).
Remove the face.
To Adjust the Restrictor:
To Access the Restrictor:
This restrictor is in position 1
(factory setting).
This restrictor is in
position 2.

Vent Connector Removal and Installation
•The vent connector is shipped attached to the insert, but may be removed to facilitate tight
installations. See the directions below for installation.
1. Route the flex vent through the chimney from above (leave an extra 3' at the top). Make sure the flex
is thoroughly stretched.
2. Remove the vent connector and attach it to the flex vent (see the instructions on the following page).
NOTE: be careful of the anti-seize on the connector – it will stain clothing, etc.
3. Pull on the flex vent until the vent connector is at the same height as the insert. Temporarily attach
the flex vent to the top of the chimney (leave extra slack).
4. Slide the insert into place, guiding the vent connector into the guides on top of the insert.
5. Attach the vent connector to the appliance (see the following page for details).
6. Remove any excess slack in the flex line and attach the vent termination.
