Vermont Casting SR36 Framing, Installing Electrical Wire for Circulator Models, Chimney Set-up

Page 9

■2. Framing

Framing can be constructed before or after the fire- place 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: Framing should be positioned to accommodate wall covering and fireplace facing material.

■3. 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 installation 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.

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 six (6) inches of wire exposed through the EB1. Secure 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 installation instructions for field installation.

■4. 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 number 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 SECTIONS AND ELBOWS.

Note: Fireplaces may use Vermont Castings, Majes- tic Products model SK8, or Model S (three wall) chimney systems. The SR/SC 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 proce- dure described in this manual applies only to the SK8 system. Either chimney system may be used, but may not be mixed.
