Framing
Framing can be constructed before or after the fireplace
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 Figure 1 for basic
fireplace specifications.
NOTE: Framing should be positioned to accommodate
wall covering and fireplace facing material.
EB1 (Receptacle) Hookup
Option for Circulating Models Only
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 com-
pletely within the EB1, then attach coverplate to fire-
place.
Chimney Set-Up
Since you have already planned 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 dealer any parts damaged in
shipment, specifically check the end connection of
chimney sections and elbows.
NOTE: The EWF36A fireplace must use Vermont
Castings, Majestic Products model triple wall 8” chim-
ney components only. The installation procedure
described in this manual applies only to this system.
Straight-Up Chimney Installation
To mark the centerline of the flue, put the fireplace in
final position and measure out from the wall: 9
¹⁄₂
"
(241mm). Mark a spot on the ceiling directly above the
fireplace. Draw a line parallel to the back wall through
this mark. (Fig. 8)
Using a plumb bob positioned directly over center point
of fireplace flue 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 6
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.
Determine offset distance of your chimney arrangement
from centerline of fireplace to centerline of chimney
where it is to pass through ceiling.
