Air Inlet Requirements - Travis Industries Xtreme 6020 Installation Manual

Air Inlet Requirements

The fireplace requires two air inlets to supply combustion air to the firebox. Requirements for the air
inlets are listed below:
•
Connect the air inlets to the back or side connections (see "a" below). Remove the inner and
outer cover plates and connect the ducting to the inner chamber using the included starter collar.
NOTE: You must use two air inlets (one from the left and one from the right).
•
Maximum air inlet length is 20' (6 M) using 6" (152mm) diameter flexible duct. For air inlet runs
over 20' (6 M) consult with Travis Industries to have the vent supply re-sized. Insulated ducts
may be used.
•
Air inlet must be routed to the exterior of the structure or to an area that freely conveys air to the
outside. Do not draw air from a garage or other area that may be subject to fumes or airborne
particles.
•
Air inlet termination must be positioned so it does not become blocked by snow, vegetation, or
other material.
•
The included air inlet termination (with damper) must be properly connected to the air inlet and
placed so rain or moisture does not enter. The air inlet termination must be accessible for
service and verification.
•
The air inlet wiring is routed from the fireplace through the ducting to the inlet termination. Attach
the wiring harness to the termination damper (wire orientation does not matter). These wires
may be shortened. When installing, make sure all excess wire is positioned away from the
damper so it does not interfere with damper operation.
•
After installation, turn the fireplace on and visually check the air inlet terminations to verify the
damper plates open correctly.
