Getting Started
A. Design and Installation Considerations
Majestic direct vent gas appliances are designed to operate with all combustion air siphoned from outside of the
building and all exhaust gases expelled to the outside. No
additional outside air source is required.
Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations. Consult insurance carrier,
local building inspector, re ofcials or authorities having
jurisdiction over restrictions, installation inspection and
permits.
Before installing, determine the following:
• Where the appliance is to be installed.
• The vent system conguration to be used.
• Gas supply piping.
• Electrical wiring requirements.
• Framing and nishing details.
• Whether optional accessories—devices such as a wall
switch or remote control—are desired.
Installation and service of this
appliance should be performed
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or
maintenance can cause injury or property damage. For
assistance or additional information, consult a qualied
service technician, service agency or your dealer.
NOTICE: Temperatures listed above are taken with a
temperature measuring probe as prescribed by the test
standard used for appliance certication. Temperatures
on walls or mantels taken with an infrared thermometer
may yield increased temperatures of up to 30 degrees or
more depending on the thermometer settings and material
characteristics being measured.
Before beginning the installation be sure that the following
tools and building supplies are available.
Tape measure Framing material
Pliers Non-corrosive leak check solution
Hammer Phillips screwdriver
Gloves Framing square
Voltmeter Electric drill and bits (1/4 in. magnetic)
Plumb line Safety glasses
Level Reciprocating saw
Manometer Flat blade screwdriver
1/2 - 3/4 in. length, #6 or #8 Self-drilling screws
Caulking material (300 ºF minimum continuous exposure
rating)
D. Inspect Appliance and Components
• Carefully remove the appliance and components from
the packaging.
• The vent system components and decorative doors and
fronts may be shipped in separate packages.
• If packaged separately, the media, refractory, and/or
optional log kits must be installed.
• Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment,
particularly the condition of the glass.
• Read all of the instructions before starting the installation. Follow these instructions carefully during the
installation to ensure maximum safety and benet.

Technologies.
• Improper positioning of the gas logs or the glass door.
• Installation and/or use of any component part not approved
by Hearth & Home Technologies.
Any such action may cause a re hazard.
WARNING! Risk of Fire, Explosion or Electric Shock!
DO NOT use this appliance if any part has been under
water. Call a qualied service technician to inspect the
appliance and to replace any part of the control system
and/or gas control which has been under water.
When selecting a location for the appliance it is important
to consider the required clearances to walls. See Figure
3.6 and Figure 3.7.

A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the
gas appliance and/or its vent system. In cooler climates
the vent should be enclosed inside the chase.
NOTICE: Treatment of ceiling restops and wall shield
restops and construction of the chase may vary with the
type of building. These instructions are not substitutes
for the requirements of local building codes. Therefore,
you MUST check local building codes to determine the
requirements to these steps.
Chases should be constructed in the manner of all outside walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting prob-
lems. The chase should not break the outside building
envelope in any manner.
Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever oor of the chase
should be insulated. Vapor and air inltration barriers
should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for
the rest of the home. Additionally, in regions where cold
air inltration may be an issue, the inside surfaces may be
sheetrocked and taped (or an equivalent method may be
used) to achieve maximum air tightness.
To further prevent drafts, the wall shield and ceiling restops should be caulked with caulk with a minimum of
300 ºF continuous exposure rating to seal gaps. Gas line
holes and other openings should be caulked with caulk
with a minimum of 300 ºF continuous exposure rating or
stuffed with unfaced insulation. If the appliance is being
installed on a cement surface, a layer of plywood may be
placed underneath to prevent conducting cold up into the
room.
D. Floor Protection
NOTICE: Install appliance on hard metal or wood surfaces
extending full width and depth. DO NOT install directly
on carpeting, vinyl, tile or any combustible material other
than wood.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Maintain specied air space
clearances to appliance and vent pipe:
• Insulation and other materials must be secured to prevent
accidental contact.
• The chase must be properly blocked to prevent blown
insulation or other combustibles from entering and
making contact with replace or chimney.
• Failure to maintain airspace could cause overheating
and re.
Note: Figure 3.8 and Figure 3.9, and Figure 3.10 show the
replace installed on the oor. However, this replace can
be elevated off the oor provided that the replace is properly
supported by framing materials and the ceiling clearances are
This appliance is approved for use with Hearth & Home
Technologies DVP venting systems. Refer to Section
12.A for vent component information and dimensions.
DO NOT mix pipe, ttings or joining methods from different manufacturers.
The pipe is tested to be run inside an enclosed wall.
There is no requirement for inspection openings at each
joint within the wall.
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Asphyxiation. This appliance requires a separate vent. DO NOT vent to a pipe
serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance.
