Framing

Framing can be constructed before or after the fireplace 
is set in place, however, most installers build the frame 
before setting the fireplace.
Frame fireplace with 2 x 4 lumber or heavier materials.  
Refer to framing dimensions in Figures 1, 2, 3 or 4  for 
basic fireplace specifications.

NOTE: When using 2 x 6 framing construction, 
the  allowable air space between the front of the 
SK8 outer pipe and 2 x 6 framing is reduced to 1" 
(25mm) as tested and approved by U.L. for use in 
both the United States and Canada.
NOTE:  

Framing should be positioned to accommodate 

wall covering and fireplace facing material. 

 Installing  Electrical Wire 

(for Circulator Models)

If a circulating fireplace is to be installed, run the 120 
VAC, 60 Hz wiring to the left side of installation.  Wiring 
must be completed 

before

 the fireplace is secured and 

finish material applied.
Remove the cover plate and electrical knock-out on the 
lower left side of the fireplace and set aside. Follow the 
instructions on Page 10 for proper wiring and installa-
tion of the EB1.
If the fan kit is not being installed with the fireplace, it 
is highly recommended that 120 VAC supply be made 
available since someone may elect to install a blower at 
a later date.

Option For Circulating Models Only —

 

EB1 (Receptacle) Hook-Up:

• Wiring should be installed by a certified
  electrician.
• Turn off circuit breaker before wiring models.
Once fireplace is secured, complete wiring the fan 
kit. Remove knockout in the center of the back of the 
EB1 and install listed cable clamps. Feed electrical 
wire through listed cable clamp leaving approximately 
6" (152 mm) of wire exposed through the EB1.  Se-
cure listed cable clamp to the wire. 
Attach white wire from power source to one (1) wire 
of receptacle and secure with nut. Attach black wire 
from power source to the other wire of receptacle and 
secure with nut. Be sure nuts are secured tightly. 
Secure EB1 assembly to inside of electrical box 
coverplate using two screws. Attach cover to face of 
the EB1 while being careful to position excess wire 
completely within the EB1, then attach coverplate to 
fireplace.

Install Fan Kit Assembly

Refer to optional Model FK12 fan kit assembly instal-
lation instructions for field installation.

Chimney Set-up

Since you have already preplanned the chimney run, 
you should know exactly how the installation is to be 
accomplished — how much pipe is required, the num-
ber of elbows, if any, and type of termination to be used.

CAUTION:  

REPORT TO YOUR DEALERS ANY 

PARTS DAMAGED IN SHIPMENT, SPECIFICALLY 
CHECK THE END CONNECTION OF CHIMNEY SEC-
TIONS AND ELBOWS.

NOTE:

 Fireplaces may use CFM Corporation Model 

SK8, or Model S (three wall) chimney systems. The 
BR/BC Series Fireplace will accept the SK8 chimney 
system as is; but a TWABR adapter collar is required 
when using the Model S (triple wall) chimney system. 
The installation procedure described in this manual 
applies 

only

 to the SK8 system. Either chimney system 

may be used, but 

may not

 be mixed.
