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 gas-burning appliance.
¥ Minimum 5' vertical rise
from top of stove (see
the illustration below)
¥ 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
and requirements
provided with the vent
when installing.
¥ The horizontal run may
not exceed 50% of the
vertical rise
Type B Vent

terminate a
minimum 1'
above the roof.

Use high temperature factory built or masonry chimney with listed gas chimney liner running the

¥ Vent termination must be above the roof and not below any eaves or overhangs
Drafting
Performance
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.
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
meet the requirements
outlined in ANSI
Z223.1, section 7.6.2.
12Ó Min.
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).
