HINT:
We suggest that you have an authorized Travis Industries dealer
install your heater. If you install the heater yourself, your authorized
dealer should review your plans for installation.
The Avalon 900 PI insert was designed to be installed into an existing masonry or zero-clearance
(metal) fireplace, or built directly into the wall (see the section "Built-In Installation"). The
requirements listed below are required for every type of installation and must be followed. In
addition, each type of installation has unique requirements that must be met besides the
requirements listed below. Hence, it is very important to follow the requirements listed in the
section "Insert Requirements" and the installation instructions specific to the type of
installation being used. Make a sketch of your installation including dimensions before
installing to double-check against the requirements listed.
