  • Page 8: General Venting Information

    Your fireplace is approved to be vented either through the side wall, or vertical through the roof. Only Majestic venting components specifically approved and labelled for this fireplace may be used. Minimum clearances between vent pipes and combustible materials is one (1") inch (25 mm), except where stated otherwise.
  • Page 9: Termination Clearances

    Termination Clearances Termination clearances for buildings with combustible and noncombustible exteriors. Inside Corner Combustible 6"(152mm) Noncombustible 2"(50mm) Balcony - with no side wall Combustible& Non-Combustible 12"(305mm) 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 elbow or pipe.

  • Page 11: How To Use The Vertical Sidewall Venting Graph

    If a 90 degree elbow is used in the horizon- tal vent run (level height maintained) the maximum horizontal vent length is reduced by 36 inches. Fig. 15. This does not apply if the 90 degree elbows are used to increase or redirect a vertical rise.
  • Page 12: Vertical Sidewall Installation

    VERTICAL SIDEWALL INSTALLATION STEP 1 Locate vent opening on the wall. It may be necessary to first position the fireplace and measure to obtain hole location. Depending on whether the wall is combustible or non- combustible, cut opening to size. (For combustible walls first frame in opening).
  • Page 13 STEP 5 (Fig. 23) Use the appropriate length of pipe section – telescopic or fixed – and install. The 20" (508mm) section of pipe which goes through the wall is packaged with the 7DVSK kit, and can be cut to suit if necessary. Sealing vent pipe and firestop gaps with hi- temperature sealant will restrict cold air being drawn in around fireplace.
  • Page 14: Below Grade Installations

    BELOW GRADE INSTALLATIONS When it is not possible to meet the required vent terminal clearances of 12 inches (305mm) above grade level a model #7DVSKS vent kit is required. It allows installation depth of down to 7 inches (178mm) below grade level. The 7 inches is measured from the centre of the horizontal vent pipe as it penetrates through the wall.
