BFC36 Balanced Flue Heat-Circulating Fireplace
7412647
Electrical Wire Installation
The fan requires 120V AC, 60 Hz power which may be
connected from the right side of the fireplace. This power
connection must be completed before the fireplace is se-
cured and finish material applied.
NOTE: Refer to instruction sheet for Model SCVS Variable
Speed Fan control for speed control wiring schematic.
The lower cavity of the fireplace may be accessed by
removing the lower grille. Lift grille and pull lower side out
to remove.
1. If using romex type power supply wiring, install a strain
relief fitting into the small access hole in the lower right
side of the fireplace outer wrapper.
2. Route house power wires into the fireplace through the
fitting.
3. Extend these wires through large front hole of right side
floor support.
4. Using supplied junction box assembly, connect and
secure house romex wiring to duplex outlet. Ensure
correct polarity and that the ground wire is securely
connected.
5. Secure romex wiring using supplied strain relief fitting
at rear of junction box. Re-assemble junction box.
6. Secure romex wiring at strain relief fitting in fireplace
outer wrapper.
7. Mount junction box mounting plate to inside face of right
side floor support using two self-tapping sheet metal
screws.
8. Plug blower cord into duplex outlet.
9. Replace lower grille.
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:
The BFC36 fireplace
must
use Vermont Castings
Group Model triple wall 8” chimney components only. The
installation procedure described in this manual applies
only to this system.
Straight-Up Chimney Installation
To mark the centerline of the flue, put the fireplace in final
position and measure out from the wall: 8
C\v
" (222 mm).
Mark a spot on the ceiling directly above the fireplace. Draw
a line parallel to the back wall through this mark. (Fig. 8)
Using a plumb bob positioned directly over center point
of fireplace flue collar, mark the ceiling to establish the
chimney center point. (Fig. 8)

Offset Installation
In order to clear an obstruction, it may be necessary to
offset chimney from vertical. This is accomplished by us-
ing elbows. Use the
30° Offset Elbow
table on Page 5 to
determine proper offset and parts required.
Each offset requires two (2) elbows. The second elbow is
equipped with support straps. It is very important to install
the second elbow in each offset as close to the ceiling
or support as possible so that the elbow straps can be
secured to framing members to help support the weight
of the chimney.
Determine offset distance of your chimney arrangement
from centerline of fireplace to centerline of chimney where
it is to pass through ceiling.
Locate center point of the chimney on ceiling as though a
straight up chimney arrangement is to be used. Measure
your offset dimension from straight up chimney center
point on ceiling.
