Blower Kits
The FBK-100 Blower Kits are used when
a wall-mounted ON/OFF blower switch is
desired, and the FBK-200 Blower Kits are
used when a wall-mounted variable speed
blower control (rheostat) is desired. A Junction
Box / Electrical Kit is also required to install these
kits (purchased separately - see Page 15).
The blower is installed beneath the firebox.
Room air is drawn in through the side slots
of the fireplace, heated as it passes across the
firebox, and discharged through the upper area
of the firebox opening.
The installation instructions for installing these
blower kits are on Pages 12 through 14. Also
see the installation instructions provided with
the blower kits (Form #750028M). For electrical
requirements, refer to Figures 14, 15 & 16.
If the blower kit is to be installed at the time of
installation or at a later date, the main power
supply must be installed at the time of instal-
lation. this will require that the electrical
connections must be made bEFoRE the firebox
is framed and enclosed in the finished walls.
Route a 3-wire, 120 VAC, 60 Hz, 1 ph power
supply and connect to electrical receptacle wires
and wall switch or rheostat.
