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.

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.)
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 cur-
Min.
rent ANSI Z223.1 and/or local codes having juris-
diction.
In Canada, please consult provincial and/or local
authorities having jurisdiction for installations at
elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370m).
Before beginning, remove the glass frame from the
fireplace. Also check to make sure there is no hid-
den damage to the fireplace. Take a minute and plan
out the gas, vent and electrical supply. Refer to Glass
Frame Removal section.

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 in-
stallation layout for rigid pipe is shown following. (Fig. 4)
