It is normal for replaces fabricated of steel to give off
some expansion and/or contraction noises during the start
up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with your
furnace heat exchanger or car engine.
It is not unusual for your Majestic gas replace to give
off some odour the rst time it is burned. This is due to
the curing of the paint and any undetected oil from the
manufacturing process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated - open all
windows.
It is recommended that you burn your Majestic replace for
a least six (6) hours the rst time you use it. If the optional

MANTELS
The height that a combustible mantel is installed above the
replace is dependent on the depth of the mantel. This also
applies to the distance between the mantel leg (if tted) and
the replace.
For the correct mounting height refer and widths refer to Fig. 2
and the Mantel Chart below.
The tting of a bay window trim kit does not effect the
distances and reference points referred to in the diagram and
chart.
Non-combustible mantels and legs may be installed at any
height and width around the appliance.
When using paint or lacquer to nish the mantel, such paint
or lacquer must be heat resistant to prevent discolouration.

1.5" (38 mm) screws, or nails. The holes to secure the
unit to the oor are located just behind the access door
grille on the left and right side of the unit.
3 Frame in the replace with a header across the top. It is
important to allow for the nished wall face when setting
the depth of the frame.
4 Attach the replace to the frame using the adjustable
frame drywall strips (located behind the access door for
shipping). Preset the depth to suit the facing material of
the wall. The strips are adjustable to 1/2"(13 mm), 5/8"
(16 mm) or 3/4" (19 mm), Fig. 3 & 4
5 Screw through the slotted holes in the drywall strip and
into the pre-drilled holes in the replace side. Measure
from the face of the replace to the face of the drywall
strip to conrm the nal depth.

GAS LINE INSTALLATION
When purging the gas lines, the front glass must
be removed.
The gas pipeline can be brought in through the rear of the
replace as well as the bottom. Knockouts are provided on the
bottom behind the valve to allow for the gas pipe installation
and testing of any gas connection. It is most convenient to
bring the gas line in from the rear right side of the valve as
this allows fan installation or removal without disconnecting
the gas line.
The gas line connection can be made with properly tinned
3/8" copper tubing, 3/8" rigid pipe or an approved ex con-
nector. Since some municipalities have some additional local
codes it is always best to consult your local authority and the
CAN/CGA-B149 (.1 or .2) installation codes.
For U.S.A. Installations consult the current National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1
Always check for gas leaks with a mild soap and
water solution. Do not use an open ame for
leak testing.

REMOTE ON/OFF SWITCH
Installation
1. Thread the wiring through the holes on the end panels of
the appliance. Take care not to cut the wire or insulation
on metal edges. Route the wire to a conveniently located
receptacle box.
2. Attach the wire to the ON/OFF switch and install the
switch into the receptacle box.
3. Connect the other ends of the wire to the gas control valve
as shown in Fig. 6.
Alternative Switch Location
The remote switch can be installed on the front/side of the
access door. Simply mount the switch to the bracket provided
and screw the bracket to either side of the frame, lining up the
screws with the pre-punched holes, Fig. 7.
EB-1 ELECTRICAL BOX
The replace, when installed, must be electri-
cally connected and grounded in accordance
with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, with the current CSA C22.1 Canadian
Electric Code.
For U.S.A. installations follow the local codes
and the national electrical code ANSI/NFPA No
70.
It is strongly recommended that the wiring of
the EB-1 Electrical Junction Box be carried out
by a licensed electrician.
Ensure that the power to the supply line has
been disconnected before commencing this pro-
cedure.
The EB-1 Electrical junction box has been supplied standard
on this model to allow for the easy installation of the optional
fan kits.
To connect the EB-1 box to the house electrical supply follow
the steps below.
1. Unscrew the retaining screw from the EB-1 base plate,
Fig. 8 and remove the EB-1 assembly from the appliance
2. Remove the front cover of the EB-1 box.
3. Remove the plug socket assembly from the EB-1 box.
4. Feed the electrical supply line in through the EB-1 open-
ing in the side of the appliance and then through the back
of the EB-1 assembly.
5. Connect the ground wire of the supply line to the green
screw of the socket assembly.
6. Connect the white wire of the power line to the chrome
screw of the socket assembly.
7. Connect the black wire of the power supply line to the
brass screw (polarized) of the socket assembly.
8. Ret the socket assembly back into the electrical box and
replace the cover plate. Secure the cable with the clamp
on the outside of the EB-1 base plate and ret the EB-1
assembly to the appliance with the retaining screw.
The gas control is equipped with a captured screw type pres-
sure test point, therefore it is not necessary to provide a 1/8"
test point up stream of the control.
When using copper or ex connectors use only approved t-
tings. Always provide a union when using black iron pipe so
that the gas line can be easily disconnected for burner or fan
servicing, see Fig 5. See the gas specication for pressure
details and ratings.
The replace valve must not be subjected to any test pressures
exceeding 1/2 p.s.i.. Isolate or disconnect this and any other
gas appliance control from the gas line when pressure testing.
Do not wire the remote ON/OFF switch into any
120 volt power supply

2. Remove the glass/frame assembly.
3. Carefully remove the logs & lava rock material
4. Remove the screws that are holding the burner housing
in place.
5. Remove the burner housing. Depending on the model of
the appliance you may have to loosen the pilot bracket
retaining screw/nut to allow the pilot and bracket assem-
bly to tilt and give enough clearance to remove the burner
housing.
6. Remove the front and rear orice and replace them with
the corresponding orice supplied in the conversion kit.
That is, use the orice with the smallest hole (from the
kit) to replace the orice with the smallest hole (from the
appliance). Similarly, use the larger orice in the kit to
replace the larger orice in the appliance.
7. SIT Top Convertible Pilot
Gently lift off the pilot hood from the pilot. (Do not
remove the spring clip holding the hood in place). Using
a correctly sized Allen key unscrew the exposed orice.
Insert the new orice supplied in the kit, do not over
tighten the orice. Replace the pilot hood ensuring the
index tab aligns with the notch on the hood.
PSE Pilot
Using a suitable wrench on the hexagonal body unscrew
the pilot hood assembly from the pilot, do not twist the
hood itself. Remove the orice and replace it with the
new orice supplied in the kit. Ret the pilot hood
assembly. Do not over-tighten the pilot hood. The hood
must return to its original alignment. Take care not to
damage the thermocouple, thermopile or igniter.
8. SIT 820 NOVA Gas Control Valve (Fig. 9)
a) Using a Torx T20 or slotted screwdriver, remove and
save the three pressure regulator mounting screws (A),
pressure regulator tower (B) and diaphragm (C).
b) Ensure the rubber gasket (D) is properly positioned and
install the new Hi/Lo pressure regulator to the valve using
the new screws (E) supplied with the kit. Tighten screws
securely. (Reference torque - 25 in.Lb).
c) Install the enclosed identication label (F) to the valve
body where it can be easily seen.
Honeywell Gas Control Valve (Fig. 10)
The Honeywell valve tted to this unit is suitable for use
with LP or Natural Gas. It is converted to the required gas
application by the installation of a colour coded "conver-
sion screw".
a) Using a suitable small screwdriver lift out the central
regulator cap from the 'Hi - Lo' knob on the valve.
b) Unscrew the exposed 'conversion screw'.
c) Insert the new colour coded 'conversion screw'. Do not
over-tighten the screw, it must be nger tight.
d) Ret the regulator cap.
e) Mount the conversion label supplied with the conver-
sion screw to the valve in a visible position.
9. Reassemble the replace in the reverse order, except for
the front glass. Leave this off until the unit has been
checked for leaks and the gas supply line has been bled.
10. After bleeding the gas line and checking for leaks with a
soap solution, replace the front glass. Fire up the unit,
check for ame impingement on the logs, adjusting them
if necessary. Check the manifold and supply pressures
against the appliance specications.
The procedure for converting from one gas to
another is the same regardless of the initial gas
used. The only variation is in the orice sizes
and component part numbers. Your authorized
service provider will ensure the correct parts are
used.

VENTING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL INFORMATION ON
ASSEMBLING THE VENT PIPES IN
DIRECT VENT APPLICATIONS.
Crimped End Pipes
Before joining elbows and pipes apply a bead of high tempera-
ture sealant to the crimped end of the elbow or pipe.
Join the pipes using a 2" (50 mm) overlap and secure the
joints with three sheet metal screws, Fig. 12. Wipe off excess
sealant.
CANADIAN INSTALLATIONS:
The venting system must be installed in accordance with the
current CAN/CGA-B149 (.1 or .2) installation code.
U.S.A. INSTALLATIONS:
The venting system must conform to local codes and/or the
current National Fuel Code ANSI Z223.1.
Only venting components manufactured by the CFM Majestic
Products Company may be used in Direct Vent systems.
Twist Lock Pipes
When using CFM Majestic twist lock pipe it is not necessary
to use sealant on the joints.
The only areas of the venting system that need to be sealed
with high temperature silicone sealant are the collars on the
replace and termination, and the sliding joint of any tele-
scopic vent section used in the system.
To join the twist lock pipes together, simply align the beads of
the male end with the grooves of the female end, then while
bringing the pipes together, twist the pipe until the ange on
the female end contacts the external ange on the male end.
It is recommended that you secure the joints with three sheet
metal screws however this is not mandatory with twist lock
pipe.
To make it easier to assemble the joints we suggest putting a
lubricant (Vaseline or similar) on the male end of the twist lock
pipe prior to assembly.
REAR WALL VENT APPLICATION
When installed as a rear vent unit this appliance may be vented
directly to a termination located on the rear wall behind the
appliance.
• Specic rear vent starter kits must be used in these appli-
cations (see ‘venting components’). The appliance may
be placed at against the rear wall or at 45º across the
corner.
• The maximum horizontal distance between the rear of the
appliance (or the end of the transition elbow in a corner
application) and the outside face of the rear wall is 20"
(508 mm), Fig. 14.
• Only one 45º elbow is allowed in these installations
• The minimum clearances between any combustible mate-
rial and the vent pipe sections are:
Top 2" (50 mm)
Sides 1" (25 mm)
Bottom 1" (25 mm)

For combustible walls rst frame in opening, Fig. 15.
COMBUSTIBLE WALLS : Cut a 10-3/8"H x 9-3/8"W (265
mm x 240 mm) hole through the exterior wall and frame as
shown (Fig. 15).
NON-COMBUSTIBLE WALLS : Hole opening should be
7.5" (190 mm) in diameter.
Step 2
Measure wall thickness and cut zero clearance sleeve parts
to proper length (MAXIMUM 12" / 305 mm). Assemble
sleeve to its maximum opening (10-3/8" x 9-3/8") and attach to
restop with #8 sheet metal screws (supplied). Install restop
assembly (Fig. 16).
Zero clearance sleeve is only required for combustible walls.
Step 3
Measure the horizontal length requirement for the venting
including a 2" (50 mm) overlap, i.e. from the elbow to the
outside wall face plus 2” (50 mm)(or the distance required if
installing a second 90º elbow). (Fig. 14).
Step 4
Install the 4" (100 mm) vent to the appliance collar and secure
with 3 sheetmetal screws. Install the 7" (175 mm) vent pipe to
the appliance collar and secure with 3 sheetmetal screws. It is
not necessary to seal this connection. If a 45º elbow is being
used attach the elbow to the appliance in the same manner then
attach the venting to the elbow.
It is critical that there is no downward slope away
from the appliance when connecting the vent or
elbow.
Step 5
Guide the venting through the vent hole as you place the appli-
ance in its installed position. Guide the 4" (100 mm) and 7"
(175 mm) collars of the vent termination into the outer ends of
the venting, Fig. 17. Do not force the termination. If the vent
pipes do not align with the termination remove and realign the
venting at the appliance ue collars. Attach the termination
to the wall as outlined in the instruction sheet supplied with
the termination.

HOW TO USE THE VENT GRAPH
The Vent Graph should be read in conjunction with the follow-
ing vent installation instructions to determine the relationship
between the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the vent
system.
1. Determine the height of the centre of the horizontal vent
pipe exiting through the outer wall. Using this dimension
on the Sidewall Vent Graph below, locate the point it
intersects with the slanted graph line.
2. From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical line to
the bottom of the graph.
3. Select the indicated dimension, and position the replace
in accordance with same.
EXAMPLE A:
If the vertical dimension from the oor of the replace is
11' (3.4 m) the horizontal run to the face of the outer wall
must not exceed 14' (4.3 m).
EXAMPLE B:
If the vertical dimension from the oor of the replace is
7' (214cm), the horizontal run to the face of the outer wall
must not exceed 8-1/2' (2.6 m).
VERTICAL SIDEWALL APPLICATIONS
Since it is very important that the venting system
maintain its balance between the combustion air
intake and the ue gas exhaust, certain limita-
tions as to vent congurations apply and must
be strictly adhered to.
The Sidewall Vent Graph, showing the relationship between
vertical and horizontal venting dimensions will help to deter-
mine the various vent lengths allowable.
Minimum clearance between vent pipes and
combustible materials is one 1"(25mm) on top,
bottom and sides unless otherwise noted.
When vent termination exits through foundations less than 20"
(508 mm) below siding outcrop, the vent pipe must ush up
with the siding.
It is always best to locate the replace in such a way that
minimizes the number of offsets and horizontal vent length.
The horizontal vent run refers to the total length of vent pipe
from the ue collar of the replace to the face of the outer
wall.
Horizontal plane means no vertical rise exists on this portion
of the vent assembly.
When installing a rear vent unit the 90º Transi-
tion Elbow attached directly to the rear of the
unit is not included in the following criteria and
calculations, and unless specically mentioned
should be ignored when calculating venting lay-
outs.
• The maximum number of 90º elbows per side wall instal-
lation is three (3).
Fig. 18

10002823/0 DVR33 15

• If a 90º elbow is tted directly onto transition elbow
attached to the appliance ange the maximum horizontal
vent run before the termination or a vertical rise is 36"
(914 mm), Fig. 19.
• If a 90º elbow is used in the horizontal vent run (level
height maintained) the maximum horizontal vent length is
reduced by 36" (914 mm), (Fig. 20). This does not apply
if the 90º elbows are used to increase or redirect a vertical
rise (Fig. 18).
Example: According to the chart the maximum horizontal
vent length in a system with a 7.5' vertical rise is 20' (6 m)
and if a 90º elbow is required in the horizontal vent it must
be reduced to 17' (5.2 m).
In Fig. 20 Dimension A plus B must not be greater than
17' (5.2 m).
• The maximum number of 45º elbows permitted per side
wall installation is two (2). These elbows can be installed
in either the vertical or horizontal run.
• For each 45º elbow installed in the horizontal run, the
length of the horizontal run MUST be reduced by 18"
(45cm). This does not apply if the 45º elbows are
installed on the vertical part of the vent system.
• The maximum number of elbow degrees in a system
is 270º (See Fig. 21).
Example: In Figure 21
Elbow 1 = 90º
Elbow 2 = 45º
Elbow 3 = 45º
Elbow 4 = 90º
Total angular variation = 270º

VERTICAL SIDEWALL INSTALLATIONS
Step 1
Locate vent opening on the wall. It may be necessary to
rst position the replace and measure to obtain hole location.
Depending on whether the wall is combustible or non-combus-
tible, cut opening to size. (Fig. 22)
(For combustible walls rst frame in opening. Fig. 22).
COMBUSTIBLE WALLS : Cut a 9-3/8"H x 9-3/8"W (240
mm x 240 mm) hole through the exterior wall and frame as
shown (Fig. 22).
NON-COMBUSTIBLE WALLS : Hole opening must be 7.5"
(190 mm) in diameter.
Step 2
Measure wall thickness and cut zero clearance sleeve parts to
proper length (MAXIMUM 12" / 305 mm). Assemble sleeve
and attach to restop with #8 sheet metal screws (supplied).
Install restop assembly (Fig. 23).
Zero clearance sleeve is only required for combustible walls.
Step 3
Apply a bead of high temperature sealant to the vent anges
on the back of the appliance and attach a 90º transition elbow.
Ensure that the inner and outer elbow ends are concentric
before attaching the vertical lengths of venting. Place the
replace into position. (Fig. 24). Measure the vertical height
(X) required from the end of the transition elbow to the centre
of the wall opening.
Step 4
Attach appropriate lengths of venting using the joining meth-
ods outlined in 'Assembling Vent Pipes'. When the desired
height has been reached attach the top inner and outer elbow,
again secure joints as described on page earlier.
Step 5
Measure the horizontal length requirement including a 2" (50
mm) overlap, i.e. from the elbow to the outside wall face plus
2" (50 mm) (or the distance required if installing a second
90º elbow. (Fig. 21). Use appropriate length of pipe sections
- telescopic or xed - and install. The sections which go
through the wall are packaged with the starter kit, and can be
cut to suit if necessary. (Fig. 25).
Always install horizontal venting on a level plane.
Sealing vent pipe and restop gaps with high temperature
sealant will restrict cold air being drawn in around replace.

of the exterior wall. See the Sidewall Vent Graph for extended
horizontal run if the vertical exceeds 24”.
1 Establish vent hole through the wall (Fig. 22).
2 Remove soil to a depth of approximately 16" (405 mm)
below base of snorkel. Install drain pipe. Install window
well (not supplied). Rell hole with 12" (305 mm) of
coarse gravel leaving a clearance of approximately 4"
(100 mm) below snorkel. (Fig. 27)
3 Install vent system.
4 Ensure a watertight seal is made around the vent pipe
coming through the wall.
5 Apply high temperature sealant caulking (supplied)
around the 4" and 7" snorkel collars.
6 Slide the snorkel into the vent pipes and secure to the
wall.
7 Level the soil so as to maintain a 4" (100 mm) clearance
below snorkel. (Fig. 27)
DO NOT BACK FILL AROUND SNORKEL.
A CLEARANCE OF AT LEAST 4” MUST BE
MAINTAINED BETWEEN THE SNORKEL
AND THE SOIL
Step 7
Apply high temperature sealant to 4" (100 mm) and 7" (175
mm) collars or the termination one inch away from crimped
end. Guide the vent terminations 4" and 7" collars into their
respective vent pipes. Double check that the vent pipes over-
lap the collars by 2" (50 mm). Secure the termination to the
wall with screws provided and caulk around the wall plate
to weatherproof, Fig. 26. As an alternative to screwing the
termination directly to the wall you may also use expanding
plugs or an approved exterior construction adhesive. You may
also attach the termination with screws through the inner body
into the 4" vent pipe however for this method you must extend
the 4" pipe approximately 6" (150 mm) beyond the outer face
of the wall.
Support horizontal pipes every 3' (91 cm) with metal pipe
straps.
Check replace to make sure it is levelled and properly posi-
tioned.
BELOW GRADE INSTALLATIONS
When it is not possible to meet the required vent terminal
clearances of 12" (305mm) above grade level a starter vent
kit is recommended. It allows installation depth of down to
7" (178mm) below grade level. The 7" is measured from the
centre of the horizontal vent pipe as it penetrates through the
wall.
If venting system is installed below ground, we
recommend a window well with adequate and
proper drainage be installed around the termi-
nation area.
Ensure sidewall vent termination clearances are
observed.
If installing a snorkel a minimum 24" (610 mm) vertical rise
is necessary. The maximum horizontal run with the 24" (610
mm) vertical pipe is 36" (915mm). This measurement is taken
from the collar of the replace (or transition elbow) to the face
If the foundation is recessed, use recess brackets (not supplied)
for securing lower portion of the snorkel. Fasten brackets to
wall rst and then secure to snorkel with self-drilling #8 x 1/2
sheet metal screws. It will be necessary to extend the vent
pipes out as far as the protruding wall face (Fig. 28).

• Up to two 45º elbows may be used within the horizontal
run. For each 45º elbow used on the horizontal level the
maximum horizontal length must be reduced by 18" (457
mm).
Example: Maximum horizontal length
0 x 45º elbows = 10' (3.1 m)
1 x 45º elbow = 8.5' (2.6 m)
2 x 45º elbows = 7' (2.1 m)
• A minimum of an 8' (2.4 m) vertical rise.
• Two sets of 45º elbow offsets within these vertical instal-
lations. From 0 to a maximum of 8' (2.4 m) of vent pipe
can be used between elbows. (Fig. 30)
• A 7DVCS bracket must be used to support offsets. This
application will require that you rst determine the roof
pitch and use the appropriate starter kit. (See Venting
Components List)
• The minimum height of the vent termination above the
highest point of penetration through the roof is 2' (610
mm), Fig. 31.
VERTICAL THROUGH-THE-ROOF
APPLICATIONS
This Gas Fireplace has been approved for,
• Vertical installations up to 40' (12 m) in height. Up to
a 10' (3.1 m) horizontal vent run can be installed within
the vent system using a maximum of two 90º elbows.

1. Locate your replace.
2. Plumb to centre of the 4" (100 mm) ue collar from the
ceiling above and mark the position.
3. Cut an opening equal to 9-3/8" x 9-3/8" (240 mm x 240
mm).
4. Proceed to plumb for additional openings through the
roof. In all cases, the opening must provide a minimum of
1" (25 mm) clearance to the vent pipe, i.e., the hole must
be at least 9-3/8" x 9-3/8" (240 mm x 240 mm).
5. Place the replace into position and secure it to the oor.
6. Place restop(s) #7DVFS and Attic Insulation Shield
#7DVAIS (if required) into position and secure with
screws or nails. (Fig. 34)
7. Install roof support (Fig. 32) and roof ashing making
sure the upper ange of the ashing is under the shingles.
Fig. 33.
8. Install appropriate pipe sections until the ue is above the
ashing. (See Fig. 33).
9. Install the storm collar and seal around the pipe.
10. Add additional vent lengths to achieve the require termi-
nation height. Fig. 31.
11. Apply high temperature sealant to 4" (100 mm) and 7"
(175 mm) collars of vertical vent termination and install
onto the venting.
If there is a room above ceiling level, restop
spacer must be installed on both the bottom and
the top side of the ceiling joists. If an attic is
above ceiling level a 7DVAIS (Attic Insulation
Shield) must be installed.
