JUNCTION BOX WIRING INSTALLATION
CAUTION: ALL WIRING SHOULD BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN AND SHALL BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL
LOCAL, CITY AND STATE BUILDING CODES. BEFORE MAK-
ING THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION, MAKE SURE THAT
MAIN POWER SUPPLY IS DISCONNECTED. THE APPLIANCE,
WHEN INSTALLED, MUST BE ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES OR, IN THE ABSENCE
OF LOCAL CODES, WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE
ANSI/NFPA 70 (LATEST EDITION).
Figure 9
A factory installed junction box is located at the lower right corner
inside the firebox bottom cavity. Wiring must be fed to the junction
box through the outer wrap of the fireplace, then connected as
required inside the junction box as directed above. Refer to the
instructions above to determine what wiring is needed depending
on what valve system you have, and whether or not the optional
Accent Light kit will be installed.
It is recommended that approximately 6” of wiring be left in the junc-
tion box to allow for connections. For wiring detail, refer to
Figure 9.
JUNCTION BOX WIRING INSTALLATION
120 Volt electrical requirements will depend on which model
fireplace is installed.
For VFLL(38,48)FP30L series millivolt operated system:
Wiring
is only needed if adding the LK5 Accent Light accessory. Follow the
wiring instructions included with the LK5 to connect this optional
accessory through the junction box to a wall switch.
For VFLL(38,48)FP90L series “IP” operated system:
The suggested 120V electrical requirements include instal-
lation of the electrical receptacle into the junction box lo-
cated at the lower right corner inside the firebox bottom cav
-
ity. This will be used to plug in the AC/DC Adapter that provides
power to the electronic valve system.
Note:
If an LK5 Accent Light kit is to be installed, a separate 120V
line will be needed to connect the light kit wiring directly to a wall
switch.
See Figure 9.
It is recommended to move the fireplace to its final location or near
it before installing electrical wire or connecting gas lines.
1. To access and install the junction box and wiring, begin by
removing the burner cover. Lift it straight up off of the burner
and set aside.
See Figure 10.
For VFLL(38,48)FP90 Units:
Remove the heat shield and disconnect the wire to the switch
on the heat shield.
Figure 10
2. Remove the five 5/16” Hex screws that hold down the complete
burner and valve assembly. There are three screws on the front
bottom flange, and two on the back bottom flange, near the
ends.
See Figure 11.
