Attach Tension Rods
The tension rods pull the fireplace together to prevent the center from dipping down. This ensures the
glass opening remains square and the glass aligns properly. Follow the directions below to adjust:
a) Remove the cover plates over the tension rods.
b) Connect the tension rod(s) together and tighten them by placing socket wrenchs on both ends of
the fireplace and tightening until the rod is snug (do not over-tighten).
c) Measure the fireplace opening at the ends compare them to the measurement at the center to
verify glass height is uniform. If the center height is within 1/8” of the outer heights, adjustment is
sufficient and the rods may be left in place (replace covers plates over the tension rods to
complete finalize tension rod adjustment).
d) If the height is slightly less at the center, tighten the bolts 1 turn (do not tighten the bolts more
than 40 ft/lbs). Repeat steps “c”and “d” until suitable alignment is achieved (do not over-tighten).
If the glass opening remains more than 1/8” out of alignment, you may need to repeat the
alignment process (titan locks, installation alignment tool, and tension rods – contact Travis
Industries for details and recommendations).
Measure the fireplace
opening at the ends and
