Gas Line Requirements
MASSACHUSETTS INSTALLATIONS - WARNING:
THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED BY A LICENSED PLUMBER OR GAS FITTER WHEN INSTALLED WITHIN THE
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS.
OTHER MASSACHUSETTS CODE REQUIREMENTS:
Flexible connector must not be longer than 36 inches.
Shutoff valve must be a “T” handle gas cock.
Only direct vent sealed combustion products are approved for bedrooms or bathrooms.
Fireplace dampers must be removed or welded in the open position prior to the installation of a fireplace insert or media.
A carbon monoxide (CO) detector is required in the same room as the appliance.
The gas line must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, follow ANSI 223.1
and the requirements listed below.
A manual shutoff valve is required within 3’ of the heater. It should be placed upstream of the flex
line (if used) and may be installed behind the access door inside the heater. ).
The heater and gas control valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig. For pressures under 1/2
psig, isolate the gas supply piping by closing the manual shutoff valve.
Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior to and after starting the heater.
This heater is designed either for natural gas or for propane (but not for both). Check the sticker
on the top of the gas control valve to make sure the correct fuel is used (see illustration on page
4).
Installation must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier (In
Massachusetts a licensed plumber/gasfitter).
Gas Line Location
The gas inlet accepts a ½” MPT.
Gas Inlet Pressure
Standard Input Pressure
Natural Gas
7" W.C. (1.74 kPA)
Propane
11" W.C. (2.73 kPA)
If the pressure is not sufficient, make sure the piping used is large enough, the supply regulator is
adequately adjusted, and the total gas load for the residence does not exceed the amount
supplied.
The supply regulator (the regulator that attaches directly to the residence inlet or to the propane
tank) should supply gas at the suggested input pressure listed above. Contact the local gas
supplier if the regulator is at an improper pressure.

Vent Requirements
Travis Industries manufactures a
vent kit specifically for this insert
(sku 96200330). It includes 30’
(10M) of vent, hose clamps, and a
prairie cap. The flashing on the cap
is 18” (458mm) by 18” (458mm).
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 vent
gas appliance must use its own separate vent system.
Make sure the exhaust pipe on the heater connects to the exhaust portion of the cap. The
illustrations below show how the flex liners should be attached.
The exhaust vent must reline the entire length of the chimney and terminate above the chimney top.
Be careful not to crimp or rupture the liner when bending it into chimney offsets.
When installed, the vent must meet all of the vent manufacturer's requirements.
Use the following vent:
3” UL 441 or 1777 Gas Liner for Exhaust and Air Inlet
Duravent Chimney Liner Termination (use one of the two listed below):
-- Prairie Cap with Flashing (included in kit shown above)
-- 3” & 3” Co-Linear to 6-5/8” Co-Axial Adapter, Flashing, & High-Wind Vertical Cap
Altitude Considerations
This heater has been tested at altitudes ranging from sea level to 6,000 feet (1,800 M). In this testing
we have found 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.

Vent Restrictor
WARNING: Restrictor adjustment should only be done by a qualified installer.
Most installations do not require vent restrictor adjustment. Only those installations determined to be
over-drafting require adjustment. The best indication of over-drafting is a hyper-active flame pattern
(flames move too quickly). This is most common in tall vent configurations. Over-drafting may affect the
pilot, but this is not the best way to determine over-drafting.
More importantly, do not over-restrict the insert. This leads to ghosting or lifting flames, a very
unstable condition for both the burner and pilot. Reduce the restrictor setting if this occurs.
If restrictor adjustment is required, make sure to make the adjustment one step at a time. Wait a
minimum of 5 minutes after burner ignition to monitor flame quality.
Restrictor Adjustment
To access the restrictor, remove the baffle at the top of the firebox. Loosen the 4 screws holding it in
place, then slide it forward and down to remove.
The restrictor is adjusted by loosening the two screws holding it in place. Slide the restrictor until the
correct notch falls over the screws and re-tighten. Replace the baffle.
Loosen the 2 screws on the exhaust restrictor. Slide
the restrictor to the correct restrictor position then
tighten the screws to secure the restrictor. In this
illustration, the restrictor in position 2.

One twig is included for the front of the firebox. Place it at the front of the firebox as shown below
(do not place it over any burner holes).
Rock Wool Placement
The included rock wool is placed on top of the burner to enhance the glow from the burner. The rock
wool works best when it is applied in a very thin, porous layer. The best method for applying the rock
wool is to brush it on to the burner. Compress a clump of rockwool between your thumb and forefinger.
Use a stiff brush to apply a thin layer of rockwool fibers onto the burner. Do not use the entire bag of
rockwool. Use only a small amount and save the remainder. Over-use of rockwool will diminish the glow
and may cause sooting or other adverse conditions.
Ember Placement
Place a layer of embers along the edges of
the burner, on top of rivets, and along the
edges to enhance the aesthetics of the
firebox. Do not place embers over any
burner holes. See the photo to the right.

10. Check the air shutter following the directions below.
Air Shutter Adjustment
Let the heater burn for fifteen minutes (make sure the media and glass are in place). The flames should be
yellow with no sooting. Adjust the air shutter, if necessary, to achieve the correct looking flame.
11. Attach the face.
12. Adjust the flame to its highest position - the flames should not contact the top of the firebox. Check the flame on 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.
Correct
Flames should be blue at the
base, yellow-orange on the top.
If the flames are too tall or sooty on the
ends, open the air shutter.
Not Enough Air
If the flames are all blue and
short, close the air shutter.
Too Much Air

Before You Begin
Read this entire manual before you use your new heater (especially the section "Safety Precautions"
on pages 4 & 5). Failure to follow the instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or
even death.
Turn off the main gas supply to the appliance during appliance installation or maintenance.

Starting the Pilot
Remove the glass frame before starting the pilot.
Starting the Heater for the First Time
Burn the heater at a high setting with the blower off for an extended period (up to 48 hours). This will
cure the painted surfaces. Fumes from the paint curing and oil burning off the steel will occur. This
is normal. We recommend opening a window to vent the room.
Condensation may appear on the glass each time you start the heater - this is normal.
Blue Flames will occur on the heater when it first comes on. After fifteen minutes the flames will turn
a more realistic yellow and orange color.
Verify the power backup and control light batteries are installed (see page 37).

Normal Operating Sounds
Normal Operating Odors
This appliance has several areas that reach high temperatures. Dust or other particles on these areas
may burn and create an odor. This is normal during start-up. You may notice the smell is more acute if
the appliance was left idle for a long period.
Power Outages
The heater will work if household current (AC power) is disconnected.
Gas Control Valve
As the gas control valve is turned
on and off and the flame height
changed you will hear the flame
height motor.
Optional Blower Snap Disk
This part can produce a clicking
sound as it turns the blower on
and off.
The appliance may creak with change of
temperature -- THIS IS NORMAL.
Pilot Assembly
The pilot flame will make a slight
whisper sound.
Optional Blower
This heater has an optional blower to push
heated air into the room. You will hear the
sound of air movement that increases as
the speed is increased.
Extinction Pops
It is not unusual, especially on Propane
(LP) appliances, to experience a "pop"
when the burner is shut off.

DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE: Disconnect power before attempting maintenance or repair.
Battery Replacement
Four AA batteries are used to power the receiver and two AAA batteries are used to power the remote control. These
batteries are required for operation. Replace batteries before each heating season to ensure proper operation.
- Remove the heat shield above the receiver (it is held in place with hook-and-loop tape and a tab on the left side).
- Remove the receiver from the insert and place it in front of the insert (it is held in place with hook-and-loop
tape). Remove the battery cover on top of the receiver and install four new AA batteries into the receiver.
- Replace the cover on the receiver and
place it back into position. Replace the
heat shield (note how the tab on the left
side of the heat shield inserts into a slot on
the side of the insert).
- Install two AAA batteries into the remote control.

Maintaining Your Heater's Appearance
The appliance must be completely cool prior to conducting service.
Cleaning The Glass
The glass may be cleaned with a non-
abrasive cleaner. To clean the inside of
the glass, simply remove the glass frame,
place it on a non-scratching surface, and
clean the surface.
Cleaning the Face and Panels
Use a duster to remove dust from the face and panels. Contact your dealer if you wish to re-paint any
surfaces. Heat-resistant stove-paint (with instructions) is available from your dealer.
Yearly Service Procedure
Failure to inspect and maintain the heater may lead to improper combustion and a potentially dangerous
situation. We recommend the following procedures be done by a qualified technician.
1.
Turn the pilot flame to continuous. It should touch approximately 3/8" of the top of the flame sensor. If it does
not, contact your dealer for service.
2.
Shut off gas to the heater and let it cool for 15 minutes. Remove the glass (see page 21). Glass may be
cleaned with glass cleaner and a soft cloth (do not use abrasive cleaners).
3.
Remove the media (see the instructions included with your media kit). If severely deteriorated, replace. Check
the media for sooting. A small amount of soot along the bottom of the media is normal. If excessive sooting is
found, the heater will require adjustment. Contact your dealer.
4.
Inspect the burner and remove any debris.
Make sure the burner is not warped, cracked, or damaged.
Check the firebox and area around the pilot to make sure there is no warping or damage.
If any problem is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service.
5.
Replace the media. Clean and replace the glass. If the glass is damaged, replace. Make sure the gasket along
the perimeter of the glass contacts the face of the firebox and forms an air-tight seal. If it does not, re-align or
replace the gasket to insure an air-tight seal.
6.
Inspect the area behind the access door. Clean if necessary.
Check the gas control valve and the gas lines. If damage is found,
discontinue use and contact your dealer for service. Clean the air
channels, ducts, and blower (if applicable).
7.
Start the main burner. Inspect the main burner and pilot flame.
After 15 minutes the flames should be orange/yellow and not touch
the top of the firebox. If the pilot or main burners do not burn
correctly, contact your dealer for service. Monitor blower operation.
8.
Remove any debris or vegetation near the vent termination. Contact
your dealer if any sooting or deterioration is found near the vent
termination. Venting system should be examined by a qualified
agency.
