The installation of your Majestic Fireplace must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 latest edition, or CAN

1B1-149.1 and .2 Installation Code. (EXCEPTION: Do not derate this appliance for elevations up to 4,500 ft. (1,370mm). Maintain the manifold pressure at 3.5 inches W.C. for Natural Gas and 10 inches W.C. for LP gas.)

PREPARATION

The use of wall paper adjacent to this fire- place is not recommended, as the high heat given off by this fireplace may adversely effect the binders in the adhesive used to apply the wallpaper.

Before beginning, remove the glass door from the fireplace (See page 9). Also check to make sure there is no hidden damage to the fireplace. Take a minute and plan out the gas, vent and electrical supply.

GAS LINE INSTALLATION

When purging gas line, the front glass must be removed.

The gas pipeline can be brought in through the rear of the fireplace as well as the bottom. Knockouts are provided on the bottom behind the valve to allow for the gas pipe installation and testing of any gas connection. It is most convenient to bring the gas line in from the rear right side of the valve, as this allows fan installation or removal without disconnecting the gas line.

The gas line connection can be made with properly tinned 3/8" copper tubing, 3/8" rigid pipe or an approved flex connector. Since some municipalities have some additional local codes, it is always best to consult your local authority and the CAN/CGA- B149 (.1 or

.2) installation code.

FOR U.S.A Installations consult the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1

Always check for gas leaks with a mild soap and water solution. Do not use an open flame for

leak testing.

The gas control is equipped with a captured screw type pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to provide a 1/8" test point up stream of the control.

Fig. 2 Typical gas supply installation

When using copper or flex connector use only approved fittings. Always provide a union when using black iron pipe so that gas line can be easily disconnected for burner or fan servicing. See Fig. 2. See gas specification for pressure details and ratings.

The fireplace valve must not be subjected to any test pressures exceeding 1/2 psi. Isolate or disconnect this or any other gas appliance control from the gas line when pressure testing.

DO NOT USE THIS FIREPLACE IF ANY PART OF THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN UNDER WATER. IMMEDIATELY CALL A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN TO INSPECT THE HEATER AND TO REPLACE ANY PART CONTROL WHICH HAS BEEN UNDER WATER.
