Blower (Continued)
Connecting the Blower Duct (Continued):
Provided with the fireplace is a start collar with a section of 6" flex duct that can be used as
the blower duct. The flex duct connects to the blower housing and the start collar connects to
one of the three blower duct hook-ups on the fireplace (right side, left side, and bottom). To
connect the blower duct to either of the side hook-ups, remove the knock-out on the side
being used, insert the start collar, and bend the locking tabs on the start collar outwards to
hold it in place. If the bottom hook-up is chosen, a hole needs to be cut through the floor for
the duct to pass through.
Routing the Conduit:
During assembly match the plug on the end of the wires coming from the conduit with the
plug coming from the top of the blower housing (See Drawing on Previous Page). Snap the
conduit connector into the hole on top of the blower housing. A metal junction box is required
between the conduit providing power to the fireplace and the 110 Volt A.C. power source. If
the blower is located to the left, or if the power supply is located to the left, the electrical
conduit(s) can be run behind the fireplace. If the conduit is run behind the fireplace, the
framing or chase construction may need to be notched or modified to allow for the extra
space needed to run the conduit behind the fireplace. CAUTION: DO NOT RUN THE
CONDUIT OVER THE TOP OF THE FIREPLACE.

Weatherproofing the Blower:
The blower should be weatherproofed if it
is located on an external wall. To
weatherproof the blower, apply caulk
around the perimeter of the blower housing
where it contacts the external wall. The
blower cover must be removed prior to
applying the caulk. Because the blower
cover will overlap the caulk, apply the caulk
sparingly. See the illustration to the right.
