portion of the vent system (X) does not exceed 20 ft. (610 cm). See
details in Venting Section.
This appliance may be installed in an aftermarket
permanently located, manufactured home or mobile home,
where not prohibited by local codes.
This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indi-
cated on the rating plate. This appliance is not convertible
for use with other gases, unless a certified kit is used.
The DVRT36RMH has been approved for mobile home
installations.
IMPORTANT:
PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
Remove any plastic from trim parts before turning the
fireplace “ON”.
It is normal for fireplaces 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 Vermont Castings, Majestic
Products gas fireplace to give off some odor the first 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 fireplace for at
least ten (10) hours the first time you use it. If the optional
fan kit has been installed, place the fan switch in the
“OFF” position during this time.

Mantels
The height a combustible mantel is fitted above the
fireplace is dependent on the depth of the mantel. This
also applies to the distance between the mantel leg (if
fitted) and the fireplace.
Refer to Figures 4a and 4b and the Mantel Charts
below them for correct mounting heights and widths.
• The distances and reference points are not
affected by the fitting of a bay window front trim kit.
• Noncombustible mantels and legs may be
installed at any height and width around the
appliance.
•When using paint or lacquer to finish the mantel, it
must be heat-resistant to prevent discoloration.

The gas pipeline can be brought in through the side of
the fireplace 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 ap-
proved flex connector. Since some municipalities have
additional local codes, it is always best to consult your
local authority and the CSA-B149.1 installation codes.
For USA installations consult the current National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
Gas Line Installation
When purging the gas lines, the front
glass must be removed.
Always check for gas leaks with a mild
soap and water solution applied with a
brush no larger than 1” (25 mm). Never
apply soap and water solution with a
spray bottle. Do not use an open flame
for leak testing.
The fireplace valve must not be
subjected to any test pressures
exceeding 1/2 p.s.i. Isolate or disconnect
this or any other gas appliance control
from the gas line when pressure testing.
1. Thread the wiring through the electrical knockout
located on either side of the unit. Take care not to
cut the wire or insulation on metal edges. Ensure
the wire is secured and protected from possible
damage. Run one end to the gas control valve and
the other end to the conveniently located wall
switch.
2. Attach the wire to the ON/OFF switch and install the
switch into the receptacle box. Attach the cover
plate to the switch.
3. Connect the wire to the gas control valve. (Fig. 7)
Remote ON/OFF Switch Installation
Do not wire the remote ON/OFF wall
switch for this gas appliance into a 120 V
power supply.
Alternate Switch Location
The remote switch can be installed on either side of the
access door. Mount the switch to the bracket provided
and screw the bracket to either side of the frame, using
the pre-punched holes. (Fig. 8)

The gas control is equipped with a captured screw type
pressure test point; therefore, it is not necessary to
provide a 1/8” test point upstream of the control.
When using copper or flex connector use only ap-
proved fittings. Always provide a union when using
black iron pipe so that the gas line can be easily
disconnected for burner or fan servicing. (Fig. 6) See
the gas specifications for pressure details and ratings.

The fireplace, when installed, must be
electrically connected and grounded in
accordance with local codes; or, in the
absence of local codes, with the current
CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code
For USA installations, follow the local
codes and the national electrical code
ANSI/NFPA No. 70.
It is strongly suggested that a licensed
electrician perform the wiring of the
EB-1 Electrical Junction Box.
Ensure that the power to the supply
line has been disconnected before
commencing this procedure.
The EB-1 Electrical junction box is fitted with this
model to provide for easy installation of an optional fan
kit.
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. 9), and remove the EB-1 assembly from
the fireplace.
2. Remove the front cover of the EB-1 box.
3 Remove the plug socket assembly from the EB-1
box.
4. Feed the supply line in from the outside through the
cable clamp. (Fig. 9)

Twist-lock Pipes
When using Vermont Castings, Majestic Products
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 fireplace and the sliding joint of any
telescopic vent section used in the system.
To join twist-lock pipes together, simply align the beads
of the male end with the grooves of the female end,
twisting the pipe until the flange on the female end
contacts external flange on the male end. It is
recommended that you secure the joints with three (3)
sheet metal screws; however, this is not mandatory
with twist-lock pipe. (Fig. 17)
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.
How to Use the Vent Graph
The Vent Graph should be read in conjunction with the
following vent installation instructions to determine the
relationship between the vertical and horizontal
dimensions of the vent system.
1. Determine the height of the center of the horizontal
vent pipe exiting through the outer wall. Using this
dimension on the Sidewall Vent Graph below, locate
the point intersecting 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
fireplace in accordance with same.
Example A:
If the vertical dimension from the floor of the fire-
place is 11’ (3.4m), the horizontal run to the face of
the outer wall must not exceed 14’ (4.3m).
Example B:
If the vertical dimension from the floor of the unit is
7’ (2.14m), the horizontal run to the face of the outer
wall must not exceed 8¹⁄₂’ (2.6m).
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.
• Only Vermont Castings, Majestic Products venting
components are approved to be used in these
applications. See ‘Venting Components’ listed for
different installation requirements.
• The maximum horizontal distance between the rear
of the appliance (or end of the transition elbow in a
corner application) and the outside face of the rear
wall is 20” (508 mm). (Fig. 19)
• Only one 45° elbow is allowed in these installations.
• The minimum clearances between any combustible
material and the vent pipe sections are:
Top 2” (51mm)
Sides 1” (25mm)
Bottom 1” (25mm)

Rear Wall Vent Installation
Step 1
Locate and cut the vent opening in the wall.
For combustible walls, first frame in opening. (Fig. 20)
Combustible Walls: Cut a 10³⁄₈”H x 9³⁄₈”W
(265 x 240mm) hole through the exterior wall and
frame as shown.
Noncombustible Walls: Hole opening should be
7¹⁄₂” (190mm) in diameter.
Zero clearance sleeve is required only
for combustible walls.
Step 2
Measure wall thickness and cut zero clearance sleeve
parts to proper length (maximum 12” / 305mm). As-
semble sleeve to its maximum opening (10³⁄₈” x
9³⁄₈”)(265 x 240mm), and attach to firestop with #8
sheet metal screws (supplied). Install firestop assem-
bly. (Fig. 21)
Step 3
Measure the horizontal length requirement for the
venting including a 2” (51mm) overlap; i.e., from the
elbow to the outside wall face plus 2” (51mm).
(Fig. 19)
It is critical that there is no downward
slope away from the appliance when
connecting the vent or elbow.
Step 4
Install the 4” (102mm) vent to the appliance collar and
secure with 3 sheet metal screws. Install the 7”
(175mm) vent pipe to the appliance collar and secure
with 3 sheet metal screws. If a 45° elbow is being
Step 5
Guide the venting through the vent hole as you place
the appliance in its installed position. Guide the 4”
(102mm) and 7” (175mm) collars of the vent
termination into the outer ends of the venting. Do not
force the termination. If the vent pipes do not align with
the termination, remove and realign the venting at the
appliance flue collars. (Fig. 22) Attach the termination
to the wall as outlined in the instruction sheet supplied
with the termination.
