INSTALLATION THROUGH SIDE OF MASONRY CHIMNEY
NOTE: Follow L-Vent chimney manufacturer’s instructions.
1.
Position the stove, adhering to the clearances in Figures 1 & 2.
Mark the center of the hole where the pipe is to pierce the masonry
chimney.
2.
It will be necessary to break out the masonry around the location of
the pipe center mark. Use a 4-inch diameter hole for 3-inch pipe
and 5-inch diameter hole for 4-inch pipe.
3.
Measure and build chimney top plate. Cut out holes for chimney
pipe, and if used the outside air pipe.
4.
Install the tee on the bottom of the vertical pipe system and lower it
down the chimney until the center branch of the tee is level with
the center of the hole in the masonry, as shown in Figure 10.
5.
Install and seal the top plate from step 3 with non-hardening
mastic. Slip the storm collar over the pipe, and while holding the
pipe at the proper elevation, affix the collar with a minimum of
three ¼” stainless steel sheet metal screws. Seal all joints and
seams around the collar.
6.
Connect the horizontal pipe by pushing it through the hole in the
masonry and lining it up with the branch in the tee. Push the pipe
into the tee while twisting it to lock it into the tee.
7.
If desired, once the horizontal pipe is in place, the space between
the pipe and masonry may be filled with high-temperature grout.
8.
Install the trim collar. An adjustable pipe length and adapter may
be needed to finish the connection to the stove.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
This stove is provided with an 8-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 MOBIL 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 P2700 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 P2700 must be securely fastened to the floor of the mobile home.
Refer to “VENTING” for proper exhaust configurations.
CAUTION: THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MOBILE HOME
FLOOR, WALL AND CEILING/ROOF MUST BE MAINTAINED.
