Majestic Fireplaces® SR/SC Series
■ 2. Framing
Framing can be constructed before or after the fire-
place is set in place, however, most installers build the
frame before setting the fireplace.
Frame fireplace with 2 X 4 lumber or heavier materials.
Refer to framing dimensions in Figures 1, 2, 3 or 4 for
basic fireplace specifications.
Note: Framing should be positioned to accommodate
wall covering and fireplace facing material.
■ 3. Installing Electrical Wire
(for Circulator Models)
If a circulating fireplace is to be installed, run the 120
VAC, 60 Hz wiring to the left side of installation.
Wiring must be completed before the fireplace is
secured and finish material applied.
Remove the cover plate and electrical knock-out on
the lower left side of the fireplace and set aside. Follow
the instructions on Page 10 for proper wiring and
installation of the EB1.
If the fan kit is not being installed with the fireplace, it
is highly recommended that 120 VAC supply be made
available since someone may elect to install a blower
at a later date.

• Wiring should be installed by a certified
electrician.
• Turn off circuit breaker before wiring models.
Once fireplace is secured, complete wiring the fan
kit. Remove knockout in the center of the back of
the EB1 and install listed cable clamps. Feed
electrical wire through listed cable clamp leaving
approximately six (6) inches of wire exposed
through the EB1. Secure listed cable clamp to the
wire.
Attach white wire from power source to one (1)
wire of receptacle and secure with nut. Attach
black wire from power source to the other wire of
receptacle and secure with nut.Be sure nuts are
secured tightly.
Secure EB1 assembly to inside of electrical box
coverplate using two screws. Attach cover to face
of the EB1 while being careful to position excess
wire completely within the EB1, then attach
coverplate to fireplace.
Install Fan Kit Assembly
Refer to optional Model FK12 fan kit assembly
installation instructions for field installation.
■ 4. Chimney Set-up
Since you have already preplanned the chimney run,
you should know exactly how the installation is to be
accomplished — 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: Fireplaces may use Vermont Castings, Majes-
tic Products model SK8, or Model S (three wall)
chimney systems. The SR/SC Series Fireplace will
accept the SK8 chimney system as is; but a TWABR
adapter collar is required when using the Model S
(triple wall) chimney system. The installation proce-
dure described in this manual applies only to the
SK8 system. Either chimney system may be used,
but may not be mixed.
