Zero Clearance Applications

An alternate air supply is recommended with this component.

For installations other than in existing woodburning fireplaces such as new construction or renovation projects, a Zero Clearance Kit must be used. The kit enables these inserts to be installed in combustible environments. It is recommended that an Air Kit (AKZC) be installed whenever using a Zero Clearance Kit. Consideration must be given to the dimensions of the Zero Clearance Kit and the requirements of the Air Kit when planning the installation.

Certified To

ANSI Z 21.88-2002 / CSA 2.33-2002

Vented Gas Fireplace Heaters

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 CSA- B149.1 Installation Code. (EXCEPTION: Do not derate this appliance for elevations up to 4,500 ft (1,370m). Maintain the manifold pressure at 3.5" w.c. for Natural Gas and 10.0" w.c. for LP gas.)

High Elevations

Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are certified without deration for elevations up to 4,500 feet (1,370m) above sea level.

For elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370m) in USA, installations must be in accordance with the current ANSI Z223.1 and/or local codes having jurisdiction.

In Canada, please consult provincial and/or local authorities having jurisdiction for installations at elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370m).

Preparation

Before beginning, remove the glass frame from the fireplace. 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. Refer to Glass Frame Removal section.

Gas Line Installation

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

The gas pipeline can be brought into the fireplace base from the right side. It is most convenient to install it from the right side into the gas fittings provided.

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. Refer to gas specifications for pressure details and ratings.

The gas line connection can be made of either properly tinned 3/8" copper pipe, 3/8" rigid pipe or an approved flex connector.

The gas control inlet is 3/8" N.P.T. therefore the 1/2" rigid gas line must be reduced to 3/8" N.P.T. Typical installation layout for rigid pipe is shown following. (Fig. 4)
