Installing Line for Gas Logs

STR/CVR Series Woodburning Fireplaces

Fireplace Top View

Majestic Fireplaces are designed to accept a 1/2"

(13 mm) gas line for installation of an approved gas ap- pliance. (CFM Corporation manufactures a wide variety of gas logs for use in Majestic ﬁreplaces.)

Be sure to have the appliance installed in accordance with building codes.

Gas connection may enter from either left or right side of the ﬁreplace.

Locate appropriate gas line in the outer casing of ﬁre- place and remove insulation from gas line tube. (Fig. 29)

From inside the ﬁreplace, locate the knockout on the ﬁrebrick -- be sure you are on the appropriate or "gas line" side of the ﬁreplace. Using a ﬂat bladed screw- driver or small chisel and hammer, carefully tap around the knockout until it loosens and falls out.

Install 1/2" (13 mm) certiﬁed gas pipe through opening. After gas pipe installation is complete, use insulation that was removed from gas line tube to repack space around the pipe. Material should be inserted from outside of the ﬁreplace and packed tightly to totally seal between the pipe and tube.

NOTE: Gas pipe should not come in contact with any wood structures until it has reached a point at least 1" (25 mm) away from ﬁreplace side.

Note: Local codes may require removal of ﬂue damper when installing any type of gas appliance in a ﬁreplace.

NOTE: When installing an ANSI Z21.11.2 ventless ap- pliance, the fninshing material used for the mantel must be rated at 250°F or greater.

BTU input of a gas appliance installed in ﬁreplace should be rated less than 100,000 BTU/Hr.

Gas pipe installation is intended for connection to a decorative gas appliance only when (1.) incorporating an automatic shutoff device and (2.) complying with the Standard for Decorative Gas Appliances for Installation in Vented Fireplaces (ANSI Z21.60) or CSA draft re- quirements for Gas-Fired Log Lighters for Woodburning Fireplaces (Draft No. 4, August 1993).

Decorative gas appliance should be installed in accor- dance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54 (latest edition).
