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.
