Venting and Installation

Installer must attach red warning plate with screws supplied with the gas fire- place insert to the inside of the firebox of the fireplace into which the gas fireplace insert is installed.

WARNING

This fireplace has been converted for use with gas only and cannot be used for burning wood or solid fuels unless all original parts have been replaced and the fireplace has been re-approved by the authority having jurisdiction.

Cutting any sheet metal parts of the fireplace, in which the gas fireplace insert is to be installed, is prohibited.

If the factory-built fireplace has no gas access hole(s) provided, an access hole of 1¹⁄₂" (37.5mm) or less may be drilled through the lower sides or bottom of the firebox in a proper workmanship like manner. This access hole must be plugged with a noncombustible insulation after the gas supply line has been installed.

Ensure there are no obstructions to side air passages of decorative trim once installed on insert.

WARNING

Some factory built fireplaces have air passages on face of fireplace for zero clearance capabili- ties. All trim kits are designed so as to allow airflow to these passages. Under no circum- stances should these passages be blocked.

1.The Majestic gas inserts are designed for recessed installations into solid fuel Masonry or Factory Built Noncombustible fireplaces that have been installed in accordance with the National, Provincial, State and local building codes.

2.Measure for minimum fireplace opening requirement on Page 4 of this installation manual. (If firebrick [refractory] is removed from a factory built fireplace in order to gain minimum gas fireplace insert opening requirements, a minimum of 1/4" (6.4mm) air space is required between the gas insert fireplace's outer casing and the inner wall of the factory built fireplace).

3.To assure top performance, safety and efficiency, all inserts must be installed with an approved 4" diameter flue liner, with exception of RHE25, which should be installed with an approved 3" liner,as per CSA-B.149 or National Fuel Code ANSI Z223.
