Drafts
The fireplace should not be located in areas that create
drafts (ie: frequently opened doors and central heating air
inlets/outlets) that hamper the normal flow of air into the
fire.
Gas Logs
-
If you plan to install a gas log, the gas line should be
installed before framing the fireplace. The gas line must
be installed by a certified gas line installer.
Cleaning
There are three methods of cleaning the polished stainless steel of your outdoor fireplace;
1. Warm, soapy water - to loosen any dirt film
2. Glass cleaner with ammonia

Illustration Key
The following safety rules apply to offset
installations (letters correspond with illustration above):
A. Height of the chimney is measured
from the hearth to the chimney exit.
Maximum: 90'0" 90'0"
Minimum:
Without Elbows 12' 6" 12' 6"
With 2 Elbows* 14' 6" 14' 6"
With 4 Elbows* 21' 0" 21' 0"
B. Do not use more than 4 elbows per
chimney.
Attach the straps of the return (top) elbow
to a structural framing member.
The offset (first) elbow of any pair does
not have straps.
* In Canada, two (2) SK845 are allowed.
Fig. 5 Chimney system requirements.
6
Notes: G + H cannot exceed 20 feet.
Air Space Clearances: SK8 (2-wall) = 1¹⁄₂" and "S" Series (3-wall) = 2"
C. The chimney cannot be more than 30˚
(45˚ in Canada) from the vertical plane in
any installation*.
D. The maximum length of the angled run
of the total chimney system is 20 feet. (G
plus H cannot exceed 20 feet.)
E. A chimney support (Model SKCS8)
is required every 6 feet of angled run of
chimney. Chimney supports are required
for every 30 feet and 60 feet (SK8 pipe)
or 20 feet and 40 feet (3-wall pipe) of vertical chimney height above the hearth.
Determine the offset distance of your
chimney arrangement from the centerline
of the fireplace to the centerline of the
chimney where it is to pass through the
first ceiling.
NOTE: This offset distance may not be
your full offset distance. See Examples 2
and 3.
Preplanning an installation is very important to ensure
safety and to save time and money. An installer must
predetermine where a fireplace will be set and how the
chimney system will be run.
Mounting the Fireplace
A fireplace may only be mounted on the following surfaces:
1. A flat combustible surface.
2. A raised wooden platform.
3. A concrete block or other solid object placed beneath
each of the four (4) corners of the fireplace.
The fireplace must be spaced 1/2" (13 mm) from a
combustible back wall and 1/2" (13 mm) from a com-
bustible side wall or support. (Page 12, Fig. 19)
Planning the Chimney Run
WF288
Fig. 6 Installed lengths of chimney sections.
5. No more than 2 offsets (4 total 30° elbows in U.S./or
2 total 45° elbows in Canada) per fireplace may be
used.
6. A guy wire stabilizer is required for chimneys extend
ing more than 6' (1.8 m) above a roof line.
The Ten Foot Rule
Major U.S. building codes specify a minimum chimney
height above the roof top. The “Ten Foot Rule” is a fire
safety rule and not a draft rule. To ensure proper draft,
it is recommended that you always meet or exceed the
“Ten Foot Rule,” especially when installing a termination
on a high pitch roof. (Fig. 7)
The key points of the "Ten Foot Rule" are:
1. If the horizontal distance from the chimney to the
peak of the roof is 10' (3 m) or less, the top of the
chimney must be at least 2' (610 mm) above the
peak of the roof, but never less than 3' (914 mm)
in height above the highest point where it passes
through the roof.
2. If a horizontal distance from the chimney to the peak
of the roof is more than 10' (3 m), a chimney height
reference point is established on the surface of the
roof a distance of 10' (3 m) from the chimney in a
horizontal plane. The top of the chimney must be
at least 2' (610 mm) above the reference point, but
never less than 3' (614 mm) in height above the high-
est point where it passes through the roof.
-
Determine how the chimney will be run, length of run
and chimney components required to complete the
job. (Fig. 5) Never install a chimney below minimum
heights.
In planning a chimney system, it is important to know:
1. The height of a chimney is measured from the
hearth to the exit point on the termination.
2. A chimney cannot be offset more than 30° from a
vertical plane.
3. A chimney may run straight up or it may be neces
sary to offset it to avoid obstructions.
4. The maximum length of an angled run (total chimney
system) is 20' (6 m).

Chimney Supports
The chimney system is supported by the fireplace for
vertical chimney heights less than 30' (9 m) above the
hearth. Chimney supports are required if the vertical
height exceeds 30' (9 m) with SK8 chimneys or 20' (6 m)
with 3-wall chimneys. Locate
chimney supports at ceiling holes or other structural framing at 30' (9 m) (SK8)
or 20' (6 m) (3-wall) heights. Spacing between chimney
supports must not exceed 30' (9 m) (SK8) or 20' (6 m)
(3-wall). Use Chimney Support Model SKCS8. (NOTE:
The SKCS8 can not be mounted directly to the
fireplace.) Support provided by elbow straps fulfills the
support requirement only if they are spaced as previously described. (A chimney support is 2¹⁄₂" (64 mm)
long when installed.)
Angled chimney runs require a support every 6' (1.8 m)
in addition to the elbow straps. Chimney supports are
used for this function. (Fig. 8)
Chase Installation
A chase is a vertical boxlike structure which encloses
the fireplace and/or chimney. Chases are typically built
on the outside of the house with fireplace opening cut
into the outer wall of a room. (Page 4, Fig. 3)
If you need help in determining fireplace location or how
the chimney system should be run, contact your Majestic Fireplaces dealer for assistance.
Installation
Insulating Fireplace Enclosure
for Cold Climates
If you live in a cold climate, it is not required but
highly recommended that you insulate fireplace
enclosure to eliminate cold air penetration as much
as possible.
Insulate base of fireplace with a noncombustible
insulation rated for a minimum of 300°F. Insulating
is very important for outside wall installations over
a concrete slab. If fireplace is installed on a platform,
insulation should be placed on top of the platform
before fireplace is set. (Fig. 9)
When a fireplace is installed in a chase or on an
outside wall, enclosure should be treated like any
outside wall in a home. Insulation should be installed
on the inside wall as well as the outside wall(s). In
a chase, it is also a good idea to install a firestop at
the first ceiling level above the fireplace and enclose
the chase with sheeting material. Insulation may
then be installed above sheeting material to assure
the space around the fireplace is totally protected.
(Fig. 3)
When installing the chimney, DO NOT caulk between outer pipe and firestop. It is vital that some air
be allowed to flow through this very thin gap.
CAUTION: WHEN INSTALLING A FIREPLACE IN
AN INSULATED ENCLOSURE, BE SURE ALL RE
QUIRED AIR SPACES ARE MAINTAINED. (Page
12, Fig. 19)

Framing
Framing can be constructed before or after the fireplace
is set in place, however, most installers build the frame
before setting the fireplace.
Frame fireplace with 2 x 4 lumber or heavier materials.
Refer to framing dimensions in Figures 1, 2, 3 or 4 for
basic fireplace specifications.
NOTE: Framing should be positioned to accommodate
wall covering and fireplace facing material.
Chimney Setup
Since you have already preplanned the chimney run,
you should know exactly how the installation is to be
accomplished — how much pipe is required, the number of elbows, if any, and type of termination to be used.
CAUTION: REPORT TO YOUR DEALERS ANY
PARTS DAMAGED IN SHIPMENT, SPECIFICALLY
CHECK THE END CONNECTION OF CHIMNEY SECTIONS AND ELBOWS.
NOTE: Fireplaces may use CFM Corporation model
SK8, or Model S (three wall) chimney systems. The
ODSR Series "A" Fireplace will accept the SK8 chimney
system as is; but a TWABR adapter collar is required
when using the Model S (triple wall) chimney system.
The installation procedure described in this manual applies only to the SK8 system. Either chimney system
may be used, but may not be mixed.

Straight-Up Chimney Installation
To mark the centerline of the flue, put the fireplace
in final position and measure out from the wall: 9¹⁄₄"
(235mm). Mark a spot on the ceiling directly above the
fireplace. Draw a line parallel to the back wall through
this mark. (Fig. 10)
Using a plumb bob positioned directly over center point
of fireplace flue collar, mark the ceiling to establish the
chimney center point. (Fig. 10)
Offset Installation
In order to clear an obstruction, it may be necessary
to offset chimney from vertical. This is accomplished
by using CFM Corporation elbows. Use the 30° Offset Elbow table on Page 5 to determine proper offset and
parts required.
Each offset requires two (2) elbows. The second elbow
is equipped with support straps. It is very important to
install the second elbow in each offset as close to the
ceiling or support as possible so that the elbow straps
can be secured to framing members to help support the
weight of the chimney.
FP556
Fig. 10 Locate centerline of chimney with plumb line.
Determine offset distance of your chimney arrangement
from centerline of fireplace to centerline of chimney
where it is to pass through ceiling.
Locate center point of the chimney on ceiling as though
a straight up chimney arrangement is to be used. Measure your offset dimension from straight up chimney
center point on ceiling.
Ceiling Chimney Hole/
Possible Obstructions
The size of the hole in ceiling will vary with the angle at
which the chimney passes through ceiling.
Drive a nail up through ceiling at marked chimney center point. Go to floor above and see where hole will be
cut. Check to see where existing ceiling joists and other
possible obstructions are located...i.e. wiring, plumbing
etc... If necessary, reposition chimney and/or fireplace
to avoid obstructions.

Safety strips are used to ensure that any combustible
materials in front of the fireplace are protected even
though a noncombustible hearth extension is required.
If fireplace is to be elevated above the floor, a “Z”
shaped metal safety strip must be fabricated and used
to protect combustible surfaces in front of the fireplace.
This “Z” shaped safety strip is not provided but must be
fabricated of metal with each horizontal leg at least 1¹⁄₂"
(38mm) wide and equal in length to the metals strips
provided with the fireplace.
NOTE: Safety strips are not required over noncombustible floors where all supports at the base of the fireplace are noncombustible.
Four (4) nailing flanges are incorporated on each corner
of the surround. Bend the nailing flanges out, level the
box, then secure it firmly in place by nailing the flanges
to the framing members as shown in Figure 14.

Installing Outside Air Kit
An outside air kit is not installed in all ODSR Series "A"
Fireplaces. If desired, or if local codes mandate the use
of an air kit, then an AKU1 is required . If the outside air
kit is to be used, the AKU1 MUST be installed BEFORE
the fireplace is enclosed. Refer to the AKU1 instructions
for field installation.
Installing the Chimney System
Start by attaching the first chimney section to the collar
on top of the fireplace.
Install the pipe as pictured in Figure 15. When you
get a good lock, you will hear the pipe clearly snap
together. Once sections are snap-locked in place, it is
extremely difficult to get them apart. Make sure the
pipe is firmly snapped and locked together as each
pipe section is mounted.

ers provide minimum required air space to chimney
pipe for ceiling thickness up to 8" (203 mm). When
combined thickness of ceiling material, ceiling joists and
flooring material exceeds 8" (203 mm), adjustments
must be made in framing to assure that minimum air
spaces to chimney are maintained.
Proper Firestop Spacer Installation
FP558
Fig. 15 Install pipe, listening for the snap-lock to fasten.
When installing elbows, only outer pipe will snaplock. Middle pipes simply slide into position. Be sure
to always attach straps on upper elbow to a structural
framing member. (Fig. 16)
Continue installing the pipe as required until pipe is
installed up through the ceiling. At this point, you must
install a firestop spacer.
Installing the Firestop Spacer
A firestop spacer is used to keep pipe spaced properly
and required for safety.
Nail the firestop spacer (at each corner) to the framing
members of the ceiling hole. NOTE: A firestop spacer
is not required at the roof.
in the Ceiling Hole
Figure 17 shows different installation procedures for
both an area that is an attic and an area that is not an
attic.
If the area above the ceiling is not an attic, position the
firestop spacer with the flange on the ceiling side and
the angled portion extending up into the hole.
If the area above the ceiling is an attic, position the
firestop spacer with the flange on the top of the framed
hole and the angled portion extending down into the
hole.
Firestop spacers are not available for nor are they
required on vertical walls.
DO NOT put any sealant around the area where the
outer pipe slides through the firestop spacer. If you
seal this area, it may cause a fire hazard.
Canadian Requirements
for Insulation Shield
In Canada, an attic insulation shield is required to prevent attic insulation from contacting the chimney section. Framing dimensions for the chimney hole should
measure 14¹⁄₂" x 14¹⁄₂" (368 x 368 mm). An attic shield
MUST be installed on top of attic joists (above the floor
level). (Fig. 18)

Install the attic insulation shield with the flanges on its
base extending down into the framing hole. Nail each
corner of attic insulation shield to the framing members
of the ceiling hole using 8d nails. Attic shields are not
required at the roof.
Chimney Supports
If chimney supports are required, they are installed the
same as elbows. Nail chimney support straps to adjacent structural framing, as shown on, Page 7, Figure
8. Bend straps as necessary and make sure they are
secure so they will support the weight of the chimney. A
chimney support is 2¹⁄₂" (64 mm) long when installed.
Consider this dimension when determining how many
straight chimney sections are needed.
NOTE: Chimney supports are generally used in long
runs in a chase installation.
Additional Ceilings
If you encounter additional ceilings, repeat same steps
required for first ceiling installation. Refer to firestop
illustration on Figure 17.
Penetrating the Roof
Run pipe to roofline. Since chimney system must be
vented to the out-of-doors, you must use an approved
CFM Corporation termination.
If a chase is used, refer to the installation manual provided with the termination cap.
Locate Chimney Centerpoint On Roof
Use same procedure detailed in locating centerpoint of
the flue system.
Drive a nail up through roof at the center point. This will
determine center point on outside of the roof.
Continue attaching pipe sections to complete system
to next level always being careful that the pipe is firmly
snapped locked in place before proceeding to next pipe
section.
Cut and Frame Roof Hole
Size of roof hole varies with the type of chimney
termination installed. Refer to installation instructions
provided with CFM Corporation chimney termination to
find correct size of roof hole.
There must be a 1¹⁄₂ (38 mm) air space between outermost portion of chimney sections and any adjacent
combustible surfaces. (Combustible surfaces include
burnable materials such as: ceiling members, joists,
flooring, combustible insulation and roof structures.)
WARNING: DO NOT PACK REQUIRED AIR SPACES
WITH INSULATION OR OTHER MATERIALS.
Mark an outline of the roof hole around the center of the
point nail. NOTE: Hole dimensions given in the chimney top installation instructions are horizontal dimensions; therefore, the hole size must be marked on the
roof accordingly.
Cover the opening of the installed chimney so debris
cannot get into the system.

the frame securely because the chimney top and flashing anchored to the frame must be able to withstand
heavy winds.
Install Remainder of Chimney Sections
Since you have already preplanned the height of your
termination according to the Ten Foot Rule, continue to
install pipe to the predetermined height.
Check the chimney top installation instructions for
details on how high above the roof top the chimney
sections (all pipes) should extend.
Installing Top Housing
Follow the installation instructions provided with the
chimney termination you have selected.
Installing Chimney In a Chase
Refer to Page 4, Figure 3 for an illustration of a typical
chase installation.
CAUTION: Treatment of firestop spacers and construction of chase may vary with type of building.
These instructions are not a substitute for local building
codes. You must check your local building codes to
determine specific requirements for your city or state.
NOTE: Other building materials may be required in addition to CFM Corporation Firestop Spacers.
Majestic Fireplaces® ODSR Series "A"
or Termination
Finishing
CAUTION: All joints between the finished wall and
the fireplace surround (top/sides) must be sealed with
non-combustible material to prevent cold air leakage
into the room. Only noncombustible material may be
applied to the facing of the fireplace surround. (Black
painted area) (Fig. 19)
Finish the wall with material of your choice. Do not
install a combustible mantel shelf less than 12"
(305 mm) from the top of the fireplace opening. Do
not install a mantel face plate less than 6" (159 mm)
from top of fireplace opening. (Fig. 21) If a combus-

Hearth Installation
A hearth extension is required to protect a combustible
floor in front of the fireplace. Refer to Figure 22 for minimum dimensions and mounting detail.
NOTE: Hearth Extension must not cover the air
inlet opening of a fireplace.
The hearth extension described in Figure 22 must be a
durable noncombustible material with a minimum (total)
Rt value of 1.09; refer to Figure 23 for examples. The
overall height (above a combustible floor), depth and
width must be as indicated, with the extension centered
to the fireplace opening.
The top of insulation must be covered with a noncombustible decorative covering or a piece of .018” minimum sheet metal, to protect hearth extension material.
(Fig. 22)
Secure the hearth extension to the floor to prevent
shifting, using trim molding or other similar means at
three (3) outer edges. Seal crack between the fireplace
hearth and hearth extension with a noncombustible
material. (Figs. 22 and 24)

Alternate noncombustible materials may be used providing the (total) thermal resistance (Rt value) of the alternate material employed is greater than or equal to R
= 1.09. Thermal resistance (R) or thermal conductivity
(K), may be obtained from manufacturer of the material.
Factors are related by the formula K = 1/R.
T = given thickness
R = thermal resistance for a given thickness (T)
K = thermal conductivity
Noncombustible material with a lower R value may
be used, provided thickness of material is sufficiently
greater to maintain an equivalent (total) thermal resistance (Rt).

Installing Line for Gas Logs
Majestic Fireplaces' fireplaces are designed to accept
a 1/2" (13 mm) gas line for installation of an approved
gas appliance. (CFM Corporation manufactures a wide
variety of gas logs for use in Majestic Firepalces.)
Be sure to have the appliance installed in accordance
with building codes.
Gas connection may enter from either left or right side
of the fireplace.
Locate appropriate gas line in the outer casing of fireplace and remove insulation from gas line tube. (Fig.
25)
From inside the fireplace, locate the knockout on the
firebrick -- be sure you are on the appropriate or "gas
line" side of the fireplace. Using a flat bladed screwdriver or small chisel and hammer, carefully tap around
the knockout until it loosens and falls out.
Install 1/2" (13 mm) certified gas pipe through opening.
After gas pipe installation is complete, use insulation
that was removed from gas line tube to repack space
around the pipe. Material should be inserted from
outside of the fireplace and packed tightly to totally seal
between the pipe and tube.
NOTE: Gas pipe should not come in contact with
any wood structures until it has reached a point at
least one (1) inch away from fireplace side.
NOTE: When installing an ANSI Z21.11.2 ventless ap-
pliance the finishing material used for the mantel must
be rated at 250°F or greater.
BTU input of a gas appliance installed in fireplace
should be rated less than 100,000 BTU/Hr.
Gas pipe installation is intended for connection to a
decorative gas appliance only when (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
requirements for Gas-Fired Log Lighters for Woodburning Fireplaces (Draft No. 4, August 1993).
Decorative gas appliance should be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54 (latest edition).
