E. INSTALLATION IN TO A FACTORY BUILT
(METAL) FIREPLACE
(Refer to figure 18)
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 P24 Z-C skirt” (part # A-ZC-
SKRT), or “Breckwell P24 Z-C Legs” (part #A-S-
ZCLEGS), can be used to bridge the gap between the
hearth and stove bottom.
(Refer to figure 13)
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 P24 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 P24 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.
