Installation (for qualified installers only)

Factory-Built (Metal) Wood-Burning Fireplace Requirements

The damper ("A") and grate (with log set) ("B") must be removed (see the illustration below)
The smoke shelf ("C"), internal baffles ("D"), screen ("E"), masonry lining or refractory ("G" & "I"), and
metal or glass doors ("F") may be removed (if applicable)
The fireplace must be permanently marked to
indicate that it has been altered and is no longer
suitable for burning solid fuel (wood) unless the
removed parts are re-installed. Cutting of any
sheet metal parts or glass is prohibited.
Attach the "This fireplace has been altered..." plate
to the fireplace (use two screws or another suitable
method). You may wish to place it in a location
where it will be covered by the surround panels.
The insulation ("H"), and any structured rigid frame
members must not be removed or altered (side and
top of door frame, side and top of the face of the
fireplace, metal sides, etc.).
The metal floor ("J") may be removed to allow
additional room for installation of the insert. If the
floor is removed the insert must be placed directly
on the metal base of the metal fireplace.
*CAUTION: Firebox floor removal is not covered under the appliance safety standard (ANSI
used in the safety certification of this appliance, however, this method has been tested by Travis Industries and
it has been determined to be safe following the instructions below. Before installing the appliance using this
method, contact the Authority Having Jurisdiction to determine if this installation is acceptable in your area. The
sheet metal base (or metal wrap) of the fireplace must be left in place and the insert leveling leg adjusted to
maintain a minimum ¼" air gap.
If the factory-built fireplace has no gas access hole(s) provided, an access hole of 1-1/2 inch (37.5 mm) or
less may be drilled through the lower sides or bottom of the firebox in a proper workmanship like
manner. This access hole must be plugged with non-combustible insulation after the gas supply line has
been installed.

Hearth Requirements

The heater and face must not contact combustible surfaces. A non-combustible hearth extension is not
required. However, if the heater is installed next to the floor, we recommend a hearth to protect the
flooring surface from discoloration or other negative impacts from the heater.
