Travis Industries Quality Assurance plan for
EPA inspection and recording procedures
Travis Industries Quality assurance plan:
The unit will be evaluated to determine an inspection process that insures all units within its model line will be
similar in all material aspects that would affect emissions. This evaluation has determined what parts, dimensions
and assemblies are to be measured and documented on a completed unit and what parts are necessary to be
inspected and documented before assembly of the unit.
Heater parts determined necessary to be inspected prior to assembly are marked "EPA Inspection
required" on their engineering drawing part file which must be supplied with every work order to create a part.
Part files marked "EPA Inspection required" are physically counted and inspected after the completion of every
hundredth part in both the flat and formed condition. The part inspections are documented and filed with the
corresponding physical unit inspection done on every hundredth completed unit manufactured under each model
line. Parts Purchased and manufactured by other suppliers such as formed gaskets are inspected upon receipt into
the factory prior to release for production of a heater.
Inspection tolerances are -/+0.25" for any linear dimension and +/-5% for any cross sectional area relating
to air induction systems and catalyst bypass gaps. Any measurement or dimension out of tolerance will be
documented and all corrective actions taken to remedy the deficiency will be documented in the unit inspection
file.
The following components will be included in each inspection if applicable:
Firebox: Dimensions
Air introduction systems: Cross sectional area of restrictive air inlets and outlets, location and method of control;
Baffles: Dimensions and locations
Refractory/insulation: Dimensions and location
Catalyst: Dimensions and location
Catalyst bypass mechanism and catalyst bypass gap tolerances (when bypass mechanism is in closed position):
Dimensions, cross-sectional area, and location
Flue gas exit: Dimensions and location
Door and catalyst bypass gaskets: Dimensions and fit
Outer thermal shielding and thermal coverings: Dimensions and location;
Fuel feed system: For wood heaters that are designed primarily to burn pellet fuel or wood chips and other wood
heaters equipped with a fuel feed system, the fuel feed rate, auger motor design and power rating, and the angle
of the auger to the firebox
Refractory/insulation
Door and catalyst bypass gaskets.
