The BK and BKT blowers utilize the same rotary
squirrel cage type blower with magnetic attach-
ment and variable speed control. The BKT also
includes an additional thermostatically controlled
feature for use on some direct-vent models only.
The BK blower can be installed in wood burning,
B-vent and vent-free model fireplaces. Both the
BK and BKT blowers can be installed in direct-
vent model fireplaces. Blowers are installed by
accessing the blower compartment through the
lower louver panel or, on some models, through
the control access cover under the front refractory
panel (see Figure 1). The lower front louver panel
can be removed easily, see
Removing Louver
Panel,
page 3 for instructions.
