Vent Requirements•

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. Each direct ventgas appliance must use it's own separate vent system.

•

In addition to the requirements listed here, follow the requirements provided with the vent.

Vent Clearances•

The vent must maintain the required clearance to combustible materials to prevent a fire. Do not fill
air spaces with insulation.
Minimum Clearance to Vent

1" (25mm)

Vent Firestop•

A firestop is required whenever the vent penetrates a wall, floor, or ceiling (passes through framing
members). It may be provided by the vent manufacturer (1” clearance).
NOTE: A Wall thimble (part #58DVA-WTU) is required when venting directly to the rear (no rise).

Altitude Considerations•

This heater has been tested at altitudes ranging from sea level to 6,000 feet (1800 M). In this testing we havefound that the heater, with its standard orifice, burns correctly with just an air shutter adjustment.

•

Failure to adjust the air shutter properly may lead to improper combustion which can create a safety hazard.
Consult your dealer or installer if you suspect an improperly adjusted air shutter.

Approved Vent•

Use 8" (203mm) diameter Simpson Dura-Vent Model Direct-Vent Pro (or GS)*.
* Other vent may be approved with this fireplace. Check with the vent manufacturer for details.

•

Always use the high-wind cap (58DVA-HC or 58DVA-VCH). The high-wind sconce cap is notallowed.

•Installation instructions for Simpson Dura-Vent may be found at www.duravent.com

Vent Installation•

Slide the vent sections together and turn 1/4 turn until the sections lock in place.

•

Screws are not required to secure the vent. However, three screws may be used to secure ventsections together if desired.

•High temperature sealant is recommended at the appliance starter section connection (use hightemperature silicone or Mill-Pac®).

•If disassembly is required, at time of re-assembly check to see if the vent creates a tight fit. If it does
not, apply high temperature sealant to the joints of the affected sections.

•

Horizontal sections require a 1/4" (6mm) rise every 12" (305mm) of travel.

•

Horizontal sections require non-combustible support every three feet (e.g.: plumbing strap).

7.
8.

Remove the glass frame (see page 39).
NOTE: If using propane (LP) convert the appliance prior to installing the logs.
We recommend you purge the gas line at this time (with the glass frame removed). This allows gas to be
detected once it enters the firebox, ensuring gas does not build up.
Make sure the two accent light bulbs are in place.
NOTE: Take care to not touch the bulb with your fingers (use a cloth or paper towel).

Install the required firebacks (see page 41).
Place the grate inside the firebox. Slide it back so it contacts the burner (see the illustration above).
Install the logs (see page 39)
Replace the glass frame.
Install the four AA batteries (included in the owner’s pack) into battery holder (see the illustration below). The AA
batteries act as a power backup in case the household (AC) power goes out. Install the 9v battery (included in
the owner’s pack) into control panel light assembly (see the illustration below). The battery holder is held in placewith Velcro and may be removed for easier access.

9. Start the heater.
10. Leak test all gas joints.
11. Check the air shutter following the directions below.

Air Shutter Adjustment
Let the heater burn for fifteen minutes (make sure the logs and glass are in place). The flames should beyellow with no sooting. Adjust the air shutter, if necessary, to achieve the correct looking flame.

Correct

Not Enough Air

Flames should be blue at thebase, yellow-orange on the top.

If the flames are too tall or sooty on theends, open the air shutter.

Too Much Air
If the flames are all blue andshort, close the air shutter.

Air Shutter Adjustment
Front Burner Air Shutter Control(RED)
Left = Less Air
Right = More Air

Rear Burner Air Shutter Control(GOLD)Left = Less Air
Right = More Air

NOTE: Use pliers to adjust the air shutters (they will be hot). Typically, thefront air shutter is fully closed (left) on NG, fully open (right) on LP

12. Turn the flame adjust knob to its highest position - the flames should not contact the top of the firebox. Check the flameon low position. The flames should burn off of each burner hole. If the heater does not work correctly, contact your Travis
dealer for a remedy.
13. Give this manual to the home owner for future reference and fully explain operation of this heater. For comprehensive
operating and maintenance instructions, refer to the Owner's Manual (part # 100-01253).

ACID WASH WARNING: Before installing the faceplate, make sure any masonry that has been treated with acid wash has
been properly neutralized (this is used primarily with brick faces). Acid wash (muriatic acid) is used to remove excess mortar.
If not properly neutralized with an ammonia solution, the plated face may develop a permanent tarnish when the acidevaporates over time. Contact your dealer if uncertain your facing has been properly neutralized.

Ember Installation
Install the embers as shown below. Make sure to cover the screws on the burner and any fireback
seams with embers to create an aesthetic firebox.

Rock Wool Installation
The included rock wool is placed on top of the burner to enhance the glow from the burner. The rockwool works best when it is applied in a very thin, porous layer. The best method for applying therock wool is to brush it on to the burner. Compress a clump of rockwool between your thumb andforefinger. Use a stiff brush to apply a thin layer of rockwool fibers onto the burner. Do not use theentire bag of rockwool. Use only a small amount and save the remainder. Over-use of rockwool willdiminish the glow and may cause sooting or other adverse conditions.
