¥ When the stove is installed in a mobile home, it must be bolted to the floor and the
appliance grounded (use the blower with a grounded circuit or other suitable grounding
method - current ANSI/NFPA 70 or CSA C22.1).
Travis Industries 93508107 100201
Installation (for qualified installers only) 7
Heater Placement Requirements
¥ Heater must be installed on a level surface capable of supporting the heater and vent
¥ Due to the high temperature of the heater, it should be located out of traffic and away from
furniture and draperies. Heater must be placed so no combustibles are within, or can
swing within 36Ó of the front of the heater (e.g. drapes, doors)
? When placed in a location where the floor to ceiling height is under 7 feet, the installation
is considered an alcove and must meet the following requirements:
¥ The alcove floor to ceiling height must be at least 60Ó tall
¥ The alcove must not be more than 48Ó deep before the ceiling returns to 7Õ
¥ The alcove must be at least 48Ó wide
¥ The heater must not be placed so the vents below or above the door, along the sides of
heater, or along the back of the heater can become blocked.
Floor Protection Requirements
¥ When the stove is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl or other combustible material other
than wood flooring or a high pressure laminate wood floor, the stove must be installed on
a metal or wood protection panel extending the full width and depth of the heater
(Minimum 28Ó wide by 21-1/2Ó deep).
Gas Line Installation
! The gas line must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, follow
current ANSI Z223.1 or NFPA 54 in the USA and the current CGA B149 in Canada.
! 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 (3.45 kPA). For
pressures under 1/2 psig (3.45 kPA), isolate the gas supply piping by closing the manual
shutoff valve.
¥ This heater is designed for natural gas but can be
converted to propane. Check the sticker on the
top of the gas control valve to make sure the
correct fuel is used.
¥ Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control
valve prior to and after starting the heater.

8 Installation (for qualified installers only)
Vent Requirements
! Always maintain the required 1Ó clearance (air space) to combustible materials to prevent a fire hazard.
Do not fill air spaces with insulation.
! 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 itÕs own separate vent system.
Altitude Considerations
¥ When installed with a horizontal
termination at an altitude above
2,000Õ, the main burner orifice may
need to be de-rated. See the
information on page 11 for full details.
! 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.
¥ When the vent passes through a wall,
a wall thimble is required. When the
vent passes through a ceiling, a
support box or firestop is required.
When the vent passes through the
roof, a roof flashing and storm collar
are required. Follow the instructions
provided with the vent (from

Approved Vent Configurations
Restrictor Position
¥ A vent restrictor is built
into the appliance to
control the flow rate of
exhaust gases. This
ensures proper flames
for the wide variety of
vent configurations. The
restrictor consists of a
butterfly valve in the air
inlet and an adjustment
plate with index holes
used to hold the valve in
a fixed position.
Depending upon the
vent configuration, you
may be required to adjust
the restrictor position.
The charts for approved
vent configurations
describe which position
the vent restrictor must
be in.
