4 Safety Precautions

Safety Warnings

Failure to follow all of the requirements may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.

Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room

as the appliance. Toddlers, young children and others may be susceptible to

accidental contact burns. A physical barrier is recommended if there are at risk

individuals in the house. To restrict access to a fireplace or stove, install an

adjustable safety gate to keep toddlers, young children and other at risk

individuals out of the room and away from hot surfaces.

Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperature

and should stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition. Do not touch the hot

surfaces of the heater. Educate all children of the danger of a high-temperature

heater.

Due to the high temperature, the heater should be located out of traffic and away

from furniture and draperies.

This unit must be installed by a qualified installer to prevent the possibility of an explosion.

This appliance must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, in U.S.A. follow ANSI

Z223.1 and NFPA 54(88), in Canada follow CSA B149.1. In Australia follow AS/NZS 5601.1.

A manufactured home (USA only) or mobile home OEM installation must conform with the

Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280, or, when such a

standard is not applicable, the Standard for Manufactured Home Installations, ANSI/NCSBCS

A225.1, or Standard for Gas Equipped Recreational Vehicles and Mobile Housing, CSA Z240.4. This

appliance may be installed in Manufactured Housing only after the home is site located.

All exhaust gases must be vented outside the structure of the living-area. Combustion air is drawn

from outside the living-area structure. The venting must not be connected to a chimney flue serving a

separate solid-fuel burning appliance.

Notify your insurance company before hooking up this fireplace.

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 approved for use with natural gas (NG) or 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.

Contact your local building officials to obtain a permit and information on any installation restrictions

or inspection requirements in your area.

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.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable liquids in the vicinity of this heater.

Do not operate if any portion of the heater was submerged in water or if any corrosion occurs.

Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the

control system and any gas control which has been under water.

Because this heater can be controlled by a thermostat there is a possibility of the heater turning on

and igniting any items placed on or near the appliance.

Light the heater using the built-in igniter. Do not use matches or any other external device to light

your heater.

testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPA). For pressures under 1/2 psig (kPA),

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 fireplace.

Fuel

This fireplace 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.

Gas Line Connection

Installation must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier (In Massachusetts a licensed

plumber/gasfitter).

Gas Inlet Pressure Standard Input Pressure

Natural Gas 1.74 kPa (Min. 1.13 kPa)

Propane 2.74 kPA

If the pressure is not sufficient, make sure the piping used is large enough, the supply regulator is adequately adjusted,

and the total gas load for the residence does not exceed the amount supplied.

The supply regulator (the regulator that attaches directly to the residence inlet or to the propane tank) should supply gas

at the suggested input pressure listed above. Contact the local gas supplier if the regulator is at an improper pressure.

Gas Line Location

NOTE: The shutoff valve is attached to the side of the fireplace. If using rigid pipe, the shutoff valve may be

removed from the cover plate and attached to the shutoff valve inside the fireplace.

Converting Gas Line to the Left Side

1. Disconnect the gas line from the shutoff valve (3/4” wrench). Gas line is located inside the fireplace on the

right side.

2. Remove the screw that holds the shutoff valve plate in place (1/4” nutdriver). Remove the shutoff valve plate.

3. Remove the cover plate from the left side of the fireplace (it is held in place in the same fashion as the shutoff

valve plate). Attach it to the right side of the fireplace.

4. Attach the shutoff valve plate to the left side of the fireplace. Route the gas line to the left side and re-attach

the gas line to the shutoff valve. Make sure to leak test the entire gas line.

The gas inlet is located 3.375" (86mm)

above the base of the fireplace.

Electrical Connection (required)

The electrical line to the grounded receptacle inside the fireplace must be installed by a qualified installer and

must meet all local codes.

Make sure the household breaker is shut off prior to working on any electrical lines.

The appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of

local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.

The electrical line must supply 240 Volts at 60 Hz (2 Amps).

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 its own separate vent system.

In addition to the requirements listed here, follow the requirements provided with the vent.

A firestop is required whenever the vent penetrates a wall, floor, or ceiling (passes through framing

members). Horizontal vent less than 48" (1219mm) above the fireplace must use the Travis Firestop (sku

93006094 - it incorporates a 3" (76mm) clearance above, 1" (25mm) clearance below and to the sides of the

vent). Other penetrations only require a 1" (25mm) clearance and may use a standard firestop (make sure

the required 1" (25mm) clearance is met).

Vent Clearances

The vent must maintain the required clearance to combustible materials to prevent a fire. Do not fill air

spaces with insulation.

Altitude Considerations

This heater has been tested at altitudes ranging from sea level to 6,000 feet (1800 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.

Approved Vent

Side vent configurations use 8" (203mm) diameter Simpson Dura-Vent Model Direct-Vent Pro (or GS)*.

Top vent configurations use 8" (203mm) or 6-5/8" (168mm) diameter Simpson Dura-Vent Direct-Vent Pro (or

GS)*. If using 6-5/8" (168mm) diameter vent, attach the 8" (203mm) to 6-5/8" (168mm) reducer (Travis part #

98900165) to the fireplace.

NOTE: When using 6-5/8” (168mm) diameter vent, make sure to accommodate the 3” (76mm) clearance

above the vent for the first 48” (1219mm) of rise (see vent clearances on page 17). Standard firestops do not

include this clearance.

* Other vent may be approved with this fireplace. Check with the vent manufacturer for details.

Always use the high-wind cap (or high-wind sconce cap, part # 58DVA-HSCH or 46DVA-HSCH).

Installation instructions for Simpson Dura-Vent may be found at www.duravent.com

Vent Installation

Slide the vent sections together and turn 1/4 turn until the sections lock in

place.

Screws are not required to secure the vent. However, three screws may be

used to secure vent sections together if desired.

High temperature sealant is recommended at the appliance starter section

connection (use high-temperature silicone or Mill-Pac®).

If disassembly is required, at time of re-assembly check to see if the vent

creates a tight fit. If it does not, apply high temperature sealant to the joints

of the affected sections.

Horizontal sections require a 1/4" (6mm) rise every 12" (305mm) of travel

Horizontal sections require non-combustible support every three feet (e.g.: plumbing tape)
