GENERAL VENTING
Your fireplace is approved to be vented either through
the side wall, or vertical through the roof.
-
Only Majestic venting components specifically
approved and labelled for this fireplace may be
used.
-
Minimum clearances between vent pipes and
combustible materials is one (1") inch (25 mm),
except where stated otherwise.
-
Venting terminals shall not be recessed into a wall
or siding.
-
Horizontal venting must be installed on a level
plane without an inclining or declining slope.
There must not be any obstruction such as bushes, garden
sheds, fences, decks or utility buildings within 24" from the
front of the termination hood.
Do not locate termination hood where excessive snow or
ice build up may occur. Be sure to check vent termination
area after snow falls, and clear to prevent accidental
blockage of venting system. When using snow blowers,
make sure snow is not directed towards vent termination
area.
