GENERAL INFORMATION ON ASSEMBLING THE VENT PIPES WITH CRIMPED ENDS

Before joining elbows and pipes apply a bead of high temperature sealant to crimped end of 4" and 7" elbow or pipe. (Fig. 12)

Join pipes and secure joints with three (3) sheetmetal screws. (See Fig. 12) Wipe off excess sealant.

BEAD LOCATION

1" FROM CRIMPED END OF PIPE

For some installations, it may be desireable to have some amount of the horizontal vent run immediately after the fireplace. A verti- cal rise must be used but can be located anywhere in the vent system, to meet the perimeters identified in the venting graph.

*IMPORTANT* Minimum clearance between vent pipes and combustible materials is one (1") inch (25 mm) on bottom, sides and top.

Only Majestic venting components specifically approved and labelled for this fireplace may be used.

VERTICAL SIDEWALL APPLICATIONS

Vent Starter Kit 7DVSK must be used in Vertical Sidewall installations.

Since it is very important that the venting system maintain its balance between the combustion air intake and the flue gas exhaust, certain limitations as to vent configurations apply and must be strictly adhered to.

The graph showing the relationship between vertical and horizontal side wall venting will help to determine the various vent lengths allowable. Fig. 17.

Minimum clearance between vent pipes and combustible materials is one (1") inch (25

mm)on top, bottom and sides unless otherwise noted.

When vent termination exits through foundation less than 20" below siding outcrop, the vent pipe must flush up with the siding. A 7DVSS must also be used.

It is always best to locate the fireplace in such a way that minimizes the number of offsets and horizontal vent length.

The horizontal vent run refers to the total length of vent pipe from the flue collar of the fireplace to the face of the outer wall.

Horizontal plane means no vertical rise exists on this portion of the vent assembly.

The maximum number of 90 degree elbows per side wall installation is three (3).

The maximum number of 45 degree elbows permitted per side wall installation is two (2). These elbows can be installed in either the vertical or horizontal run.

The maximum horizontal vent length is 36" (914mm) when 90º elbow is installed directly onto fireplace.

3FT (92cm)

Fig. 14

For each 45 degree elbow installed in the horizontal run (while maintaining a constant horizontal plane), the length of the horizontal run MUST be reduced by 18" (457mm). This does not apply if the 45 degree elbows are installed on the vertical part of the vent sys- tem.
