Vent Requirements

! Always maintain the required 1" clearance (air space) to combustible materials to prevent a fire
hazard. Do not fill air spaces with insulation.
! 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.
¥ Minimum 5' vertical rise from top of stove (see the illustration below)
¥ When the vent passes through a wall, a wall thimble is required. When the vent passes through a
ceiling, a support box or firestop is required. When the vent passes through the roof, a roof flashing
and storm collar are required. Follow the instructions and requirements provided with the vent when
installing.
¥ The horizontal run may not exceed 50% of the vertical rise
Min. 5' Rise
Standard Installation
¥ Use 4" dia. B vent for entire system from one manufacturer (don't mix brands)
Use high temperature factory built or masonry chimney with listed gas chimney liner running the
entire length
¥ Vent termination must be above the roof and not below any eaves or overhangs
Drafting This appliance relies upon natural draft to operate. External forces, such as wind,
Performance barometric pressure, topography, or factors of the home (negative pressure from exhaust
fans, chimneys, air infiltration, etc.), may adversely affect draft. Travis Industries can
not be responsible for external forces leading to less than optimal performance.
