Planning The Installation

HINT:

Have an authorized Travis Industries dealer install this heater. If you install the heater

 

yourself, have your dealer review your installation plans.

HINT:

Sketch out a detailed plan of the installation including dimensions. Then verify the

 

dimensions with the requirements listed in this manual.

HINT:

When determining the location of the stove, locate the wall studs (for horizontal

 

penetrations) and ceiling trusses (for vertical penetrations). You may wish to adjust the

 

stove position slightly to ensure the vent does not intersect with a framing member.

HINT:

Place the heater outside and load 10 pounds of pellets inside the hopper. Plug the

 

heater in and let it run on HIGH until the pellets run out. This will cure the paint and burn

 

off any oil on the steel, eliminating any smell inside the home.

Stove Placement

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

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".

HINT:

REDUCING CLEARANCES - 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.

Heater and floor protection must be installed on a level, secure floor.

Floor Protection Requirements

The heater must be installed on a non-combustible floor protector extending the full width and depth of the heater and extending 6" in front (minimum 27-3/4" wide by 31" deep) (minimum .018" thick - 26 gauge) .

Must extend under and 2" to each side and rear of a "Tee" (if used).
