Installing Line for Gas Logs
Majestic Fireplaces CR36R/L Series fireplace is de-
signed to accept a 1/2” gas line for an approved gas
appliance. (CFM Corporation manufactures a wide
variety of gas logs for use in Majestic Fireplaces.)
Have the appliance installed by a qualified plumber in
accordance with all building codes. The gas connec-
tion enters the fireplace at the end opposite the open
end.
Locate the gas line hole in the outer casing of the
fireplace and remove the insulation from the gas line
tube. (Fig. 24)
From inside the fireplace, locate the knockout on
the firebrick. Using a flat bladed screwdriver or small
chisel and hammer, carefully tap around the knockout
until it loosens and falls out.
Now, install 1/2” certified gas pipe through the open-
ing. After the gas pipe installation is complete, use the
insulation that was removed from the gas line tube
to repack the space around the pipe. This should be
inserted from the outside of the fireplace and packed
tightly to totally seal between the pipe and the tube.
NOTE: The gas pipe should not come in contact
with any wood structures until it has reached a
point at least one (1) inch away from the fireplace
side.
NOTE: Local codes may require removal of flue
damper when installing any type of gas appliance in a
fireplace.
The gas pipe installation is intended for connection to
a decorative gas appliance only (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 re-
quirements for Gas-Fired Log Lighters for Woodburn-
ing Fireplaces (Draft No. 4, August 1993).
The decorative gas appliance should be installed
in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1-1988.
CAUTION: WHEN USING DECORATIVE GAS AP-
PLIANCE, THE FLUE DAMPER MUST BE SET IN
THE FULLY OPEN POSITION. IF YOU HAVE GLASS
DOORS ON THE FIREPLACE, THEY MUST ALSO
BE FULLY OPENED.
