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 al-
lowable 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 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 avail-
able 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. 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 cover-
plate 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 installa-
tion 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 ac-
complished — 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 Group 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.
