PAGE 8 STOVE INSTALLATION (CONT.) - For qualified installers only!
Vent Requirements
!Always maintain the required 1" 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
¥ | Minimum 5' vertical rise |

| When the vent passes |
| through a ceiling, a |

Use high temperature factory built or masonry chimney with listed gas chimney liner running the entire length
¥Vent termination must be above the roof and not below any eaves or overhangs
Drafting This appliance relies upon natural draft to operate. External forces, such as wind, Performance 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.
Vent Termination Requirements
¥Vent termination must have an approved cap (to prevent water from entering)
¥Vent termination must not be located where it will become plugged by snow or other material
¥ Vent termination must be
1' above the roof and 12Ó Min. meet the requirements
outlined in ANSI Z223.1, section 7.6.2.
Note: ANSI 223.1, section 7.6.2 outlines additional requirements for gas vent terminations. If your installation involves a roof with a slope greater than 6/12 or if a wall or other vertical obstruction is within 8' of the vent termination, the vent termination will need to be taller. Refer to ANSI 223.1 for full details.
!When installed, the vent must provide suitable draft for the appliance. Other factors, such as exhaust fans, may create negative pressure inside the home and cause down drafts. Additional vent height may be required in these circumstances.
Electrical Connection
¥Plug the power cord into a grounded 110 Volt outlet (do not remove the grounding plug).
