Breckwell
INSTALLATION INTO A MASONRY FIREPLACE:
Breckwell recommends the use of a full liner where a stainless steel rigid or
fl
exible linear pipe is routed from the insert outlet
collar to the top of the chimney.
Multiple installation methods may be available in your area. Check with local building of
fi
cials for any permits required for
installation of this unit and notify your insurance company before proceeding with installation.
1)
Clean the
fi
replace opening properly disposing of any ashes in a closed metal container. See Safety Instructions.
2)
Install a continuous stainless steel chimney liner into the existing chimney. Follow liner manufacturer installation instructions.
•
The liner must extend to the top of the existing chimney.
•
The interior diameter of the chimney
fl
ue must be identical to the stove smoke exhaust.
•
Use only listed chimney liners that meet UL1777 standards.
3)
Remove or lock the
fi
replace damper in the open position. Note: Masonry or damper plate may be removed to accommodate the
chimney liner provided this does not weaken any structural components of the existing
fi
replace or chimney nor reduces protection
of combustible materials required by national building codes. Consult with your local building or
fi
re authority before doing this.
WARNING: Any
fi
replace which has had parts removed or modi
fi
ed to accommodate the installation of this appliance
MUST have a warning plate permanently installed in a visible location stating that the
fi
replace is un
fi
t for use with solid
fuel. Permanently attach the warning plate to a visible location in the
fi
replace.
4)
Uncrate the appliance, remove all packing materials, and any items stored in the
fi
rebox.
5)
Position the appliance into the
fi
replace opening.
6)
If necessary 1/4-20 leveling bolts can be inserted into the base and used as levelers for uneven
fi
replaces.
7)
Connect the chimney liner to the appliance using a stainless steel adapter and securing with a minimum of three (3) sheet metal
screws. The liner MUST be attached with the male (or crimped) end of the adapter inside the
fl
ue collar of the appliance to allow
condensation and/or creosote to drain back into the
fi
rebox.
8)
Assemble the facade. See
“INSERT FIREPLACE FACADE ASSEMBLY”
section for instruction on facade assembly and
installation.
