SAFETY NOTICE:

Please read this entire manual before you install and use your new room heater. Failure to follow instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death. Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation inspection requirements in your area.

Always use gloves when operating a hot stove. The door handle and other components become very hot during normal use.

Planning The Installation

We suggest that you have an authorized Travis Industries dealer install your stove. If you install the stove yourself, your authorized dealer should review your installation plans.

Check with local building officials for any permits required for installation of this stove and notify your insurance company before proceeding with installation.

Preparation for Installation

The stove can be lightened by removing the firebricks and baffle (pg 29) - replace before operation.

• Check for damage to the exterior of the stove.

• Check the interior of the firebox (replace cracked firebrick and make sure baffle is in place).

• The door (shipped separately - SKU 96100612 or 96100724) must be installed prior to operation.

• The stove must be placed on legs (see page 34) or a pedestal (see page 34).

Stove Installation Considerations

The table below details the six most common types of installations and the considerations for each type. Alternative methods of installation are available if they comply with local building codes.

Installation Type Considerations

Standard Ceiling with a Factory Built Chimney (Page 15)

Cathedral Ceiling with a Factory Built Chimney (Page 15)

Hearth Stove Positive Connection (Page 16)

Hearth Stove Direct Connection (Page 17)

Interior Masonry Chimney (Page 17)

• Requires ceiling and roof penetration

• Provides best draft

• Cathedral style chimney support required

• Provides best draft

• Utilizes existing masonry fireplace (not approved for zero

clearance (metal) fireplaces)

• Provides good draft due to full reline

• Easier to clean than direct or horizontal hearth stove

• Utilizes existing masonry fireplace (not approved for zero

clearance (metal) fireplaces)

• Requires construction of a "block-off plate"

• Draft reduced due to elbows & chimney cross section

• Utilizes existing masonry chimney (not approved for zero

clearance (metal) fireplaces)

8 Stove Installation (for qualified installers only)

Floor Protection Requirements

• Stove must be placed on the Travis Industries legs or Pedestal.

• Floor protection must extend 6" to the sides and rear of the stove and 16" to the front of the stove

(36" wide by 45-1/2" deep - see Figure 2 and Figure 3). NOTE: when installed with reducedclearance connector, the clearance to the backwall is less than 6". In this case the floor protection must extend to the wall.

• Floor protection must be non-combustible and at least .018" thick (26 guage).

Stove Placement Requirements

Clearances may be reduced by methods specified in NFPA 211, listed wall shields, pipe shields, or other means approved by local building or fire officials.

• Stove must be placed so that no combustibles are within, or can swing within (e.g. drapes, doors), 36"

of the front of the stove

• If the stove is placed in a location where the ceiling height is less than 7', it must follow the

requirements in the section "Alcove Installation Requirements"

• Must maintain the clearances to combustibles listed below (drywall, furniture, etc.):

Clearances

• The following clearances must be met (see Figure 2 and Figure 3)

Minimum Clearance Singlewall

Connector

A Sidewall to stove 15" 13"

B Backwall to stove 15” 4-1/4"

C Cornerwall to stove 15" 6-1/2"

D Connector to sidewall 24" 21-1/2"

E Connector to backwall 17-3/4" 6-1/2"

F Connector to cornerwall 24" 15"

*Reduced clearance installations require one of the chimneys and connectors listed below:

AMERI-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 I.C.C. Excel (2100-2 Can.) (103-HT USA) chimney with HP connector METALFAB model DW 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 DS connector with model SSII 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.

NOTE: Mobile Home installations must use the reduced clearance connector and clearances

listed above.

NOTE: Standard residential installations with reduced clearance connector may use the

“Connector to Wall” clearance determined by the connector manufacturer if approved by local code. This clearance is established by the connector manufacturer and falls under the connector manufacturer’s listing. “Stove to Wall” clearances must always be met.

10 Stove Installation (for qualified installers only)

Chimney Connector Requirements

• Chimney connector is required from the flue collar of the stove to the factory-built chimney (see

Figure 5) or masonry chimney (see Figures 13, 14, and 15).

• The chimney connector must be 6” diameter and a minimum 24 gauge black steel, 26 gauge blued

steel, or one of the reduced-clearance connectors listed on page 8.

NOTE: Aluminum or galvanized steel is not allowed – these materials can not 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.

• The chimney connector should be as short and direct as possible. No more than 180

90o elbows, or two 45o & one 90o elbow, etc.) may be used for the entire system (connector and chimney).. Horizontal runs should slope upwards 1/4” per foot and be a maximum 36” long.

• The chimney connector must be installed with the crimped end pointing downwards (see Figure 4).

This prevents creosote from leaking to the exterior of the pipe.

On singlewall pipe the crimped end

of elbows (two

points downward.

• The chimney connector must be fastened to the stove and each adjoining section (and chimney).

Chimney Requirements

• DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

• UL 103 HT Chimney must be used from the first ceiling or floor penetration to the chimney cap.

• Use 6" 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

• No more than 180

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.

Floor Protection

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.
