Majestic Fireplaces® BR/BC Series 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. 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.
Majestic Fireplaces® BR/BC Series Installation Chimney Supports The chimney system is supported by the fireplace for vertical chimney heights less than 30' (9m) above the hearth. Chimney supports are required if the vertical height exceeds 30' (9m) with SK8 chimneys or 20' (6m) with 3-wall chimneys. Locate chimney supports at ceiling holes or other structural framing at 30' (9m) (SK8) or 20' (6m) (3-wall) heights. Spacing between chimney supports must not exceed 30' (9m) (SK8) or 20' (6m) (3-wall).
Majestic Fireplaces® BR/BC Series Framing Option For Circulating Models Only — 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.
Majestic Fireplaces® BR/BC Series Straight-Up Chimney Installation To mark the centerline of the flue, put the fireplace in final position and measure out from the wall: 8¹⁄₄" (210mm) Mark a spot on the ceiling directly above the fireplace. Draw a line parallel to the back wall through this mark. (Fig. 11) Using a plumb bob positioned directly over center point of fireplace flue collar, mark the ceiling to establish the chimney center point. (Fig.

Majestic Fireplaces® BR/BC Series Installing the Chimney System Pipe Section Start by attaching the first chimney section to the collar on top of the fireplace. Pipe Rim UP 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.
Majestic Fireplaces® BR/BC Series Firestop spacers are not available for nor are they required on vertical walls. 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. Attic Insulation Shield Nails (4 required) Canadian Requirements for Insulation Shield In Canada, an attic insulation shield is required to prevent attic insulation from contacting the chimney section.
Majestic Fireplaces® BR/BC Series 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.
