Planning Information

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.

NOTE: STR33/36 models use MHSC SK8 (2-wall) chimney systems. STR42 Fireplace uses only model

11CF chimney system.

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 combustible side wall or support. (Page 14, Fig. 20)

Planning the Chimney Run

Determine how the chimney will be run, length of run and chimney components required to complete the job. (Fig. 6) Never install a chimney below minimum heights.

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' (3m) or less, the top of the chimney must be at least 2' (610mm) above the peak of the roof, but never less than 3' (914mm) 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' (3m), a chimney height reference point is established on the surface of the roof a distance of 10' (3m) from the chimney in a horizontal plane. The top of the chimney must be at least 2' (610mm) above the reference point, but never less than 3' (914mm) in height above the highest point where it passes through the roof.

Fig. 6 Installed lengths of chimney sections.

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 necessary to offset it to avoid obstructions.

4. The maximum length of an angled run (total chimney system) is 20' (6m).

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 extending more than 6' (1.8m) above a roof line.

Chimney Supports

The chimney system is supported by the fireplace for vertical chimney heights less than 20' (6 m) above the hearth. Chimney supports are required if the vertical height exceeds 20' (6 m). Locate chimney supports at ceiling holes or other structural framing at 20' (6m) heights. Spacing between chimney supports must not exceed 20' (6 m). Use Chimney Support Model SKCS8 for SK8 chimney, and Model 11CS for 11CF chimney.

(NOTE: the chimney support 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. 9)

Chase Installation

A chase is a vertical box-like 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 5, Fig. 4)

If you need help in determining fireplace location or how the chimney system should be run, contact your Majestic 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 non-combustible 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 a 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. 4)

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

REQUIRED AIR SPACES ARE MAINTAINED. (Page

14, Fig. 20)

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. Headers and support studs must be turned on end as illustrated on Page 5,

Figure 4.

NOTE: Framing should be positioned to accommodate wall covering and fireplace facing material. Maintain

1/2" (13 mm) air space between the outer dome and any combustible framing materials that may be supported by the ledge brackets. Refer to Figures 20 and 26 for details.

Chimney Set-up

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 SEC-

TIONS AND ELBOWS.

NOTE: STR33/36 models use MHSC SK8 (2-wall) chimney systems. STR Fireplaces use only model 11CF chimney system.

Straight-Up Chimney Installation

To locate the centerline of the flue put the fireplace in final position and place a plumb bob from the ceiling to the center of the fireplace flue collar. Mark this spot on the ceiling. Draw a line through that mark to either side of the firebox and indicate dimension X to locate the side wall framing. (Fig. 10) Be sure to observe clearance requirements for side and parallel combustible walls as noted in Page 16, Figure 23.

Offset Installation

In order to clear an obstruction, it may be necessary to offset chimney from vertical. This is accomplished by using MHSC elbows. Use the 30° Offset Elbow table on

Page 6 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.

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 the chimney center point on the ceiling.

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 possible obstructions are located...i.e. wiring, plumbing etc... If necessary, re-position chimney and/or fireplace to avoid obstructions.

Cutting the Hole

Cover fireplace collar opening and cut proper sized chimney hole in chimney. The SK8 pipe allows you to run pipe through a typical 16” on center joist without cutting joists.

Positioning, Safety Strips,

Securing the Fireplace

Slide fireplace into position.

Lift the fireplace front slightly and slide the metal safety strips under front bottom edge about 1¹⁄₂" (38mm), allowing the remainder to extend in front of firebox.

Overlap strips at least 1/2" (13 mm) to provide a positive joint. (Flat safety strips are packed with fireplace.) (Fig. 13)

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 non-combustible floors where all supports at the base of the fireplace are noncombustible.

Eight (8) nailing flanges are supplied with the fireplace

(found on the fireplace hearth). To level the box and secure it firmly in place, remove the nailing flanges from the hearth and install at the sides of the fireplace as shown in Figure 14.

Outside Air Kit

An outside air kit damper is installed in all STR Series

Fireplaces. If desired, or if local codes mandate the use of an air kit, then an AK-MST is required to complete the installation (from air kit to the outdoors). If the outside air kit is to be used, the AK-MST Air Termination Kit

MUST be installed BEFORE the fireplace is enclosed.

Refer to the AK-MST instructions for field installation.

The outside air kit control is located in the lower left hand side of the fireplace behind the screen panel. (Fig.

15) To operate, simply lift up to close or push down to open .

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 16. 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.

When installing elbows, only outer pipe will snap- lock. Middle pipes simply slide into position. Be sure to always attach straps on upper elbow to a structural framing member. (Fig. 17)

Continue installing the pipe as required until pipe is installed up through the ceiling. At this point, you must install a firestop spacer. Refer to Figure 18 for appropriate spacer orientation.

Elbow Strap

Support Structure

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.

Hole sizes listed in Figure 12 for angled firestop spacers 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" (203mm), adjustments must be made in framing to assure that minimum air spaces to chimney are maintained.

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. NOTE: If the attic insulation shield is used, the firestop is not required in the attic installation. Framing dimensions for the chimney hole should measure 14¹⁄₂" x 14¹⁄₂" (368 x 368 mm)(SK8). (An attic shield MUST be installed on top of attic joists (above the floor level).

(Fig. 19)

NOTE: In the U.S., it is a good idea, although not always required, to install an attic insulation shield where blown-in insulation is planned to be used in the attic.

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.

Continue Installing Pipe to Complete Run

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.

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 Figure 8, Page

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.

7412961

STR Series Woodburning Fireplaces

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. A chimney support can- not be mounted directly to the fireplace.

Additional Ceilings

If you encounter additional ceilings, repeat same steps required for first ceiling installation. Refer to firestop illustration on Page 12, Figure 18.

Penetrating the Roof

Run pipe to roofline. Since chimney system must be vented to the out-of-doors, you must use an approved 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 centerpoint. This will determine center point on outside of the roof.

Cut and Frame Roof Hole

Size of roof hole varies with the type of chimney termination installed. Refer to installation instructions provided with the chimney termination to find correct size of roof hole.

NOTE: The air space dimensions in this manual that pertain to model 11CF chimney pipe have been changed from 2" to 1" (51 - 25 mm) clearance for first joist space only. This change only applies to Majestic

Fireplaces models STR42 fireplaces. Because of framing concerns these models, and only these models, have been tested and approved at the reduced clearance. In all other cases the minimum air space referred to on the UL label on the 11CF pipe must be maintained. A special firestop is shipped with these units that will maintain the 1" (25 mm) clearance at the first joist. The chimney hole size for this firestop will be 15¹⁄₂"

(394 mm). Refer to Figure 18 for ceiling joist installation instructions.

There must be an air space (1¹⁄₂" (38 mm) with SK8 and

1" (25 mm) with 11CF) between outermost portion of chimney sections and any adjacent combustible surfaces. (Fig. 20) (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.

13

STR Series Woodburning Fireplaces

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.

Cut and frame the hole. It is good practice to use framing lumber that is the same size as the rafters. Install 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 or Termination

Follow the installation instructions provided with the chimney termination you have selected.

Installing Chimney In a Chase

Refer to Page 5, Figure 4 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

Firestop Spacers.

Finishing

CAUTION: All joints between the finished wall and the fireplace surround (top/sides) must be sealed with noncombustible 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. 20)

Finish Wall

Finish the wall with material of your choice. Do not install a combustible mantel shelf less than 12"

(305 mm) above the front opening. Do not install a mantel face plate less than 6" (159 mm) from

top of fireplace opening. (Fig. 21) If a combustible material is used below a flat mantel shelf, consult your local building codes for minimum clearance from top of fireplace opening to bottom of mantel shelf.

Hearth Installation

A hearth extension is required to protect a combustible floor in front of the fireplace. Refer to Figure 24 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 24 must be a durable noncombustible material with a minimum (total)

Rt value of 1.09; refer to Figure 25 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 the insulation material must be covered with a noncombustible decorative covering or a piece of

.018” minimum sheet metal, to protect hearth extension material. (Fig. 24)

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. 24 and 26)

7412961

STALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH FIGURES 24 AND

25.

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 are designed to accept a 1/2"

(13 mm) gas line for installation of an approved gas appliance. (MHSC manufactures a wide variety of gas logs for use in Majestic fireplaces.)

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. 29)

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 1" (25 mm) away from fireplace side.

Note: Local codes may require removal of flue damper when installing any type of gas appliance in a fireplace.

NOTE: When installing an ANSI Z21.11.2 ventless appliance, 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).
