Planning the Installation
HINT:
Have an authorized Travis Industries dealer install this heater. If you install the
heater yourself, have your dealer review your installation plans.
HINT:
Sketch out a detailed plan of the installation including dimensions. Then verify the
dimensions with the requirements listed in this manual.
HINT:
When determining the location of the stove, locate the wall studs (for horizontal
penetrations) and ceiling trusses (for vertical penetrations). You may wish to adjust
the stove position slightly to ensure the vent does not intersect with a framing
member.
Stove Placement
•
Stove must be placed so that no combustibles are within, or can swing within (e.g. drapes,
doors), 36" (915mm) of the front of the heater.
•
If the stove is placed in a location where the ceiling height is less than 7' (2.134 M), it must follow
the requirements in the section "Alcove Installation Requirements".
HINT:
REDUCING CLEARANCES - Clearances may be reduced by methods specified in
NFPA 211, listed wall shields, pipe shields, or other means approved by local
building or fire officials.
•
Heater and floor protection must be installed on a level, secure floor.
Floor Protection Requirements
•
The heater must be installed on a non-combustible floor protector extending the full width and
depth of the heater and extending 6" (153mm) in front (minimum .018" thick - 26 gauge).
•
Must extend under and 2" (51mm) to each side and rear of a "Tee" (if used).
Electrical Requirements
•
This
heater
requires
a standard 120 volt, 60 Hz
grounded
electrical outlet. Do not use an
adapter plug or sever the grounding plug.
•
This
heater
requires correct polarity
. The line (hot) is on the right and has a smaller plug. The

circuit board. This may cause a safety hazard, improper operation, and void your warranty.
•
Do not route the electrical cord underneath, in front of, or over the heater.
