E. INSTALLATION IN TO A FACTORY BUILT
(METAL) FIREPLACE
(Refer to figure 20)
When installing into a factory built fireplace, the
firebox must accept the insert without modification
other than removing bolted or screwed together
pieces such as smoke shelf/deflectors, ash lips,
screen or door tracks and damper assemblies.
These items must be reinstalled to restore the
fireplace to its original operating condition if the
insert is removed and not replaced. The removal
of any part must not alter the integrity of the listed
fireplace in any way. In zero-clearance fireplace
installations, when the fireplace opening is above
the floor or raised hearth, the adjustable
“Breckwell P23 Z-C Legs” (part # A-S-ZCLEGS)
can be used to bridge the gap between the hearth
and stove bottom. Refer to figure 14.
The factory built fireplace must be listed per UL
127. Installation must include a full height listed
chimney liner meeting type HT requirements
(2100° F) per 1777 (U.S.). The liner must be
securely attached to the insert flue collar and the
chimney top. The damper area must be sealed to
prevent room air passage to chimney cavity.
Alteration of the fireplace in any manner is not
permitted except with the following exceptions:
• External trim pieces, which do not affect the
operation of the fireplace, may be removed
proving they can be stored on or within, the
fireplace for re-assembly if the insert is
removed.
• The fireplace damper may be removed to
install the chimney liner.
Circulating air chambers, louvers or cooling air
inlet or outlet ports (i.e. in a steel fireplace liner or
metal heat circulator) shall not be blocked.
Means must be provided for removal of the insert
to clean the chimney flue.
A permanent metal warning label must be
attached to the back wall of the fireplace opening
stating the following:
• “This fireplace has been altered to
accommodate a fireplace insert and should be
inspected by a qualified person prior to re-use
as a conventional fireplace.”
• This label is available upon request.
Final approval is contingent on the authority
having jurisdiction.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
This stove is provided with a 6-foot grounded
electrical cord extending from the rear of the
stove. We recommend connecting to a good
quality surge protector that is plugged into a
standard three-prong, 120V, 60 Hz electrical
outlet. Voltage variations can lead to serious
performance problems. The Breckwell electrical
system is designed for 120V AC with no more
than 5% variation. Breckwell cannot accept
responsibility for poor performance or damage
due to inadequate voltage. If connected to an
older, two-prong outlet, a separate ground wire
should be run to a proper ground (refer this to a
qualified technician). Always route the electrical
cord so that it will not come in contact with any hot
part of the stove.
SPECIAL MOBILE HOME REQUIREMENTS
WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL IN A SLEEPING ROOM.
For installation in a mobile home, an outside source of combustion air must be used
(See “COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY”).
The P23 must be grounded to the steel chassis of the home with 8 Ga. copper wire
using a serrated or star washer to penetrate paint or protective coating to ensure
grounding.
The P23 must be securely fastened to the floor of the mobile home through the two
holes in the rear of the stove using two ¼” lag bolts that are long enough to go through
both a hearth pad, if used, and the floor of the home.
Refer to “VENTING” for proper exhaust configurations.
CAUTION: THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MOBILE HOME FLOOR,
WALL AND CEILING/ROOF MUST BE MAINTAINED.
