Crushed Glass Installation
Crushed glass is placed over the burners and center media trays. As an option, crushed glass may also be placed over the
intake air channel media trays (the area between the two panes of glass). Use only ¼” crushed glass from Travis Industries
and/or other media specifically approved by Travis Industries.
Placing Crushed Glass on the Burner and Center Media Trays
Glass Quantity = 1.5 Pounds (0.66 Kg) Per Linear Foot (300mm)
1 Level Cup (8 fl. oz.) (240ml) = 0.95 lbs.
So...1 Slightly Rounded Cup = 1 lb.
Determine the amount of glass needed for the fireplace being installed. Set this glass aside in portions to allow for an even
amount of glass to be placed over the surface of the burner and media tray. NOTE: It is better to install too little glass than too
much.
(a) Open up a bag of crushed glass and pour it evenly on to the burner and media trays. Use a brush or glove to evenly
distribute the glass over the surface.
(b) After distributing the glass, make sure to uncover the area over the center of each burner. There is a grouping of
burner holes that should be left open. This makes the flames coalesce and create a taller flame pattern. On the
burner next to the pilot, clear off the center burner holes and clear off the set of burner holes leading to the pilot. This
open area allows the pilot ignite the burner quickly so the fireplace ignites properly.
NOTE: Failure to clear this area will result in poor fireplace ignition. This may lead to delayed ignition “pops”
or sooting.
Clear off the ports on the center of each burner. In addition, clear off the
line of burner holes leading to the pilot and area directly over the pilot.
Do not cover
this air channel between
the media tray and glass pane channel.
Remove any glass that falls
into the glass pane channel
.
