Framing
Framing can be constructed before or after the replace
is set in place, however, most installers build the frame
before setting the replace.
Frame replace with 2 x 4 lumber or heavier materi-
als. Refer to framing dimensions in Figure 1 for basic
replace specications.
NOTE: Framing should be positioned to accommodate
wall covering and replace facing material.
Electrical Wire Installation
The fan requires 120V AC, 60 Hz power which may be
connected from the right side of the replace. This pow-
er connection must be completed before the replace is
secured and nish material applied.
The lower cavity of the replace 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 tting into the small access hole in the
lower right side of the replace outer wrapper.
2. Route house power wires into the replace through
the tting.
3. Extend these wires through large front hole of right
side oor 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
tting at rear of junction box. Re-assemble junction
box.
6. Secure romex wiring at strain relief tting in replace
outer wrapper.
7. Mount junction box mounting plate to inside face of
right side oor 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 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 SEC-
TIONS AND ELBOWS.
NOTE: The BFC36 replace must use MHSC 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 ue, put the replace in
nal position and measure out from the wall: 8C\v" (222
mm). Mark a spot on the ceiling directly above the re-
place. Draw a line parallel to the back wall through this
mark. (Fig. 8)
Using a plumb bob positioned directly over center point
of replace ue 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
using 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.
