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 ap-
pliance. (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 connection enters the 
fireplace at the end opposite the open end.
Locate the gas line hole in the outer casing of the fire-
place 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 require-
ments for Gas-Fired Log Lighters for Woodburning 
Fireplaces (Draft No. 4, August 1993).

The decorative gas appliance should be installed in 
accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI 
Z223.1/NFPA 54.

CAUTION: WHEN USING DECORATIVE 
GAS APPLIANCE, THE FLUE DAMPER 
MUST BE SET IN THE FULLY OPEN POSI-
TION. IF YOU HAVE GLASS DOORS ON 
THE FIREPLACE, THEY MUST ALSO BE 
FULLY OPENED.
