PAGE 6 STOVE INSTALLATION
SAFETY NOTICE:
If this appliance is not properly installed, a house fire may result. For your safety,
follow the installation directions. Contact local building or fire officials about
restrictions and installation inspection requirements in your area.
¥ Check with local building officials for any permits required for installation of this stove and
notify your insurance company before proceeding with installation.
PLANNING THE INSTALLATION
HINT: We suggest that you have an authorized Travis Industries dealer install your stove. If
you install the stove yourself, your authorized dealer should review your plans for
installation.
This stove is approved for connection to either a factory-built chimney or existing masonry or zero-
clearance fireplace. Depending upon your installation concerns, a wide range of installation options are
yours to provide the most desirable installation. The sections that follow detail the requirements that
must be met for a safe installation. To further help installation, the six most common types of
installations are explained in the section "Stove Installation Considerations". Prior to installing your
stove make a detailed plan with dimensions to double-check them against all of the requirements listed.
PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION
¥ Check for damage to the exterior of the stove (dents should be reported, scratches can be fixed by
applying touch up paint).
¥ Check the interior of the firebox (cracked firebrick should be replaced, displaced baffle
components should be replaced).
HINT: The stove can be lightened by removing the firebricks and baffle. - see "Firebrick
Removal and Replacement Instructions" on pages 30 and 31.
STOVE INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
The table below details the six most common types of installations and the considerations for each type.
Alternative methods of installation are available if they comply with local building codes.
Installation Type Considerations
Standard Ceiling with a Factory Built Chimney
(Page 12)
¥ Requires floor and roof penetration
¥ Provides best draft
Cathedral Ceiling with a Factory Built Chimney
(Page 12)
¥ Cathedral style chimney support required
¥ Provides best draft
Exterior Factory Built Chimney
(Page 13)
¥ Uses two elbows to route chimney outside
¥ Exterior chimney is hidden from the room
¥ Elbows reduce draft
¥ Optional exterior chase reduces cold air blockage
Hearth Stove Positive Connection
(Page 13)
¥ Utilizes existing masonry or zero clearance (metal) chimney
¥ Provides good draft due to full reline
¥ Easier to clean than direct or horizontal hearth stove
Hearth Stove Direct Connection
(Page 14)
¥ Utilizes existing masonry or zero clearance (metal) chimney
¥ Requires construction of a "block-off plate" - Page 18
¥ Draft reduced due to elbows & chimney cross section
Hearth Stove Horizontal Connection
(Page 14)
¥ Utilizes existing masonry chimney (not approved for z.c.
fireplaces)
¥ Draft is good because of vertical section above stove
