INSERT INSTALLATION (CONT.) - For qualified installers only! PAGE 13
Vent Requirements
!Always maintain the required 1" clearance to combustible materials to prevent a fire hazard.
!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
¥The vent must reline the entire length of the chimney and have a minimum 5' vertical rise
¥Horizontal run may not exceed 50% of the vertical rise
¥Use 4" listed gas chimney liner or B vent from one manufacturer (don't mix brands)
?When using flexible gas vent, do not crimp or rupture the liner when bending it into chimney offsets ¥ When installed, the vent must meet all of the vent manufacturer's requirements
?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.

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 extend a minimum of 6" above the top of the chimney
Electrical Connection
¥Plug the power cord into a grounded 110 Volt outlet (do not remove the grounding plug).
