Installation Notes

Natural gas only. This is a direct vent appliance that must be vented with Majestic DVP or SLP components, and a DVP-TRAP1 may be required in some top vent layouts. Follow the manufacturer clearances for mantels, finishing materials and framing, and use a licensed installer. In New York City, installation must also meet NYC code. Book a design consultation for help with venting and layout.
