Breckwell P24I Manual De Usuario

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. 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 
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. 
 

 
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.
