Vent Requirements


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.

In addition to the requirements listed here, follow the requirements provided with the vent.
Drafting Performance
This direct vent appliance requires natural draft to operate (similar to a wood stove or other heating appliance). Draft
can be adjusted using the included restrictor. The restrictor settings detailed in the manual should be followed
(variations may occur depending upon installation parameters).
Many factors may negatively influence the draft of the appliance. Travis Industries will not be responsible for improper
draft due to factors such as trees, hills, buildings, obstructions, excessive wind, extreme hot or cold outdoor
temperatures, restrictive vent terminations, or influence from mechanical systems.

Vent Clearances


The vent must maintain the required clearance to combustible materials to prevent a fire. Do not fill air
spaces with insulation.
Minimum Vent Configurations (see page 31)
Minimum Clearance Above Vent
Minimum Clearance to Sides & Below Vent

Minimum Clearance to Vent

Vent Firestop or Thimble


A firestop or thimble is required whenever the vent penetrates a wall, floor, or ceiling (passes through framing
members). See vent charts on page 31 and 33 for details

Altitude Considerations


This heater has been tested at altitudes ranging from sea level to 6,000 feet (1800 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.

Approved Vent


Always use the high-wind cap (part # 46DVA-HC, 58DVA-HC, or 46DVA-VCH). The high-wind sconce cap
is not allowed.
