CR Series Woodburning Fireplaces
Installing Line for Gas Logs
Majestic Fireplaces CR36R/L Series fireplace is de-
signed to accept a 1/2" gas line for an approved gas ap-
pliance. (CFM Corporation manufactures a wide variety
of gas logs for use in Majestic Fireplaces.) Have the
appliance installed by a qualified plumber in accordance
with all building codes. The gas connection enters the
fireplace at the end opposite the open end.
Locate the gas line hole in the outer casing of the fire-
place and remove the insulation from the gas line tube.
(Fig. 24)
From inside the fireplace, locate the knockout on the
firebrick. Using a flat bladed screwdriver or small chisel
and hammer, carefully tap around the knockout until it
loosens and falls out.
Now, install 1/2" certified gas pipe through the open-
ing. After the gas pipe installation is complete, use the
insulation that was removed from the gas line tube
to repack the space around the pipe. This should be
inserted from the outside of the fireplace and packed
tightly to totally seal between the pipe and the tube.
NOTE: The gas pipe should not come in contact
with any wood structures until it has reached a
point at least one (1) inch away from the fireplace
side.
NOTE: Local codes may require removal of flue damper
when installing any type of gas appliance in a fireplace.
The gas pipe installation is intended for connection to
a decorative gas appliance only (1) incorporating an
automatic shutoff device and (2) complying with the
Standard for Decorative Gas Appliances for Installation
in Vented Fireplaces, ANSI Z21.60 or CSA draft require-
ments for Gas-Fired Log Lighters for Woodburning
Fireplaces (Draft No. 4, August 1993).
The decorative gas appliance should be installed in
accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54.
