22 Installation (for qualified installers only)<br />

Vent Requirements<br />

• The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and never<br />

be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance. Each direct vent gas<br />

appliance must use it's own separate vent system.<br />

• In addition to the requirements listed here, follow the requirements provided with the vent.<br />

• A firestop is required whenever the vent penetrates a wall, floor, or ceiling (passes through framing<br />

members). Horizontal vent less than 48" above the fireplace must use the Travis Firestop (sku 250-<br />

00747 - it incorporates a 4" clearance above, 1" clearance below and to the sides of the vent). Other<br />

penetrations only require a 1" clearance and may use a standard firestop (make sure the required 1"<br />

clearance is met).<br />

• Always use the high-wind termination (if available from the vent manufacturer).<br />

Vent Clearances<br />

• The vent must maintain the required clearance to combustible materials to prevent a fire. Do not fill air<br />

spaces with insulation.<br />

• This heater has been tested at altitudes ranging from sea level to 6,000 feet. In this testing we have found that<br />

the heater, with its standard orifice, burns correctly with just an air shutter adjustment.<br />

• Failure to adjust the air shutter properly may lead to improper combustion which can create a safety hazard.<br />

Consult your dealer or installer if you suspect an improperly adjusted air shutter.<br />
