1) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing material.
IMPORTANT: The framed opening must be of non-combustible
material.

5) If material such as brick, stone, etc extends past the faceplate depth(1-1/2"), when finishing around the faceplate, the minimum opening
dimensions noted below must be adhered to ensuring for the removalof the faceplate and for the safe operation of this appliance.

Note: When constructing the framed opening, please ensure thereis access to install the gas lines when the unit is installed.

37-1/4”WARNING: Failure to insulate and add vapor barriers to the insideof the exterior wall will result in operational and performance
problems including, but not limited to: excessive condensation
on glass doors, poor flame package, carbon, blue flames etc.
These are not product related issues.

23-1/2”

2) For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to the same degree as therest of the house, apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per local installation codes. (Do not insulate the fireplace itself.)

3) The unit does not have to be completely enclosed in a chase. You
must maintain clearances from the vent to combustible materials: See"Clearances" section. Combustible materials can be laid against theside and back standoffs and the stove base.

19-11/16”

4) Non-combustible material (ie. tile, slate, etc) may be brought up to andoverlap the unit (top and bottom) ensuring that the maximum thickness
does not go beyond the 1-1/2" as shown in the diagram below. The
faceplate will not be able to be mounted if finished material is beyond
1-1/2".

33-11/16”

6) For material such as brick, stone, etc that extends less than 1-1/2", the minimum opening dimensions noted below must be adhered,
when finishing around the faceplate. This is to ensure the removal of
the faceplate and for the safe operation of this appliance.

14-13/16”

29-1/8”7) If finishing the unit with the inner faceplate only - the finishing material
may be brought up to the edge of the unit.

Important: 1/2" gap required between faceplate andfinished wall when using part #316-924, 316-926, 316927 (4 pc. faceplate).
When using part # 316-934, 316-936 and 316-937(outer faceplate) the 1/2" gap is not necessary.

Regency Horizon™ HZ30E Gas Fireplace

INSTALLATIONVENTING INTRODUCTION
The HZ30E uses the "balanced flue" technology Co-Axial system. The inner liner vents products of combustion to the outside while the outer liner draws
outside combustion air into the combustion chamber thereby eliminating the need to use heated room air for combustion and losing warm room air up the chimney.
Note: These flue pipes must not be connected to any other appliance.
The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and never be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuelor gas burning appliance. Each direct vent gas appliance must use it's own separate vent system. Common vent systems are prohibited.

VENTING ARRANGEMENT FOR HORIZONTAL TERMINATIONS
The diagram shows all allowable combinations of vertical runs with horizontal terminations, using one 90o (two 45o elbows equal one 90o elbow). (Not including
the starting 45o elbow at the flue collar when using rigid venting.)
Note: Must use optional rigid pipe adapter (Part# 510-994) when using Rigid Pipe Venting Systems.

furring strips may be used, instead of the vinyl siding standoff, tocreate a level surface to mount the vent terminal. The Terminalmust not be recessed into siding. Measure the wall thickness
including furring strips.

Framing Size4" x 6 - 5/8"

10" x 10"Install the vent system according to the
manufacturer's instructions included with thecomponents.
1) Set the unit in its desired location. Check todetermine if wall studs or roof rafters are in
the way when the venting system is attached.
If this is the case, you may want to adjust thelocation of the unit. Rough in the gas preferablyon the right side of the unit and the electrical(junction block is on the left side) on the left.
2) Direct Vent pipe and fittings are designed withspecial twist-lock connections to connect theventing system to the appliance flue outlet. A
twist-lock appliance adaptor is required.
3) In conjunction with the Approved Vent system,
install the adaptor after the unit is set in its
desired location. Put a bead of high temperaturesilicone inside the outer section of the adapter
and a bead of Mill Pack on the inner collar. Slip
the adapter over the existing inner and outerflue collar. Fasten to the outer collar only withthe 3 supplied screws (drilling pilot holes will
make this easier).
4) Level the fireplace and fasten it to the framing
using nails or screws through the top and side
nailing strips.

5) Assemble the desired combination of pipe andelbows to the appliance adaptor and twist-lockfor a solid connection.

Note: Forbestresultsandoptimumperformancewith each approved venting system, it ishighly recommended to apply “Mill-Pac”
sealant (supplied) to every inner pipe
connection. Failure to do so may resultin drafting or performance issues notcovered under warranty. Silicone (redRTV) is optional.

7) Ensure that the pipe clearances to combustible
materials are maintained (Diagram 5). Install
the termination cap.
Note: If installing termination on a vinyl siding
covered wall, a vinyl siding standoff or
furring strips must be used to ensurethat the termination is not recessed into
the siding.

Horizontal runs of vent must be supported every
3 feet (0.9meter). Wall straps are available forthis purpose.
6) Mark the wall for a square hole.-see chart to left
for size. The center of the square hole shouldline up with the center-line of the horizontal pipe.
Cut and frame the square hole in the exteriorwall where the vent will be terminated. See
diagram 2 for center line requirements.
If the wall being penetrated is constructed of
non-combustible material, i.e. masonry block
or concrete, an 8" (203mm) diameter hole isacceptable.
Note:a) The horizontal run of vent must be level, or
have a 1/4 inch rise for every 1 foot of run
towards the termination. Never allow thevent to run downward. This could cause
high temperatures and may present thepossibility of a fire.
b) The location of the horizontal venttermination on an exterior wall must meet
all local and national building codes,

Diagram 5
The four wood screws provided should be
replaced with appropriate fasteners for stucco,
brick, concrete, or other types of sidings.
8) Before connecting the horizontal run of vent pipe
to the vent termination, slide the Wall Thimble
over the vent pipe. The wall thimble is required
for all horizontal terminations.
9) Slide the appliance and vent assembly towards
the wall carefully inserting the vent pipe into thevent cap assembly. It is important that the ventpipe extends into the vent cap sufficient distanceso as to result in a minimum pipe overlap of
1-1/4 inches (32mm). Secure the connection
between the vent pipe and the vent cap.
10) Install wall thimble in the center of the framedhole and attach with wood screws (Diagram 7).

4) Separate the 2 halves of the wall thimble andsecurely fasten the one with the tabs to theoutside wall making sure that the tabs are on
top and bottom. Fasten the other thimble half
to the inside wall. The thimble halves slip insideeach other and can be adjusted for 2 x 4 or 2
x 6 walls.
5) Slip the assembled liner and terminationassembly through the thimble making sure thetermination cap faces up (there are markings
on the cap indicating which way is up). This
will position the termination cap with proper
down slope for draining water. Fasten the cap
to the outer wall with the 4 supplied screws.
6) Pull the centre inner and outer flex liner out
enough to slip over the flue collars of thefireplace. (You may wish to cut the liner shorterto make it more workable.) Do not bend liner
more than 90o. The liners must slip over thecollars a minimum of 1-3/8".

7) Ensure vent is vertical and secure the base of
the flashing to the roof with roofing rails, slide
storm collar over the pipe section and seal witha mastic.
8) Install the vertical termination cap by twistlocking it.

3) A Firestop spacer must be installed in the floor
or ceiling of every level. To install the Firestop
spacer in a flat ceiling or wall, cut a 10 inchsquare hole. Frame the hole as shown in
Diagram 2 and install the firestop.

Note: All vertical terminations are vented
using 4" x 6-5/8" venting and rigid pipe
adaptor #510-994.

Minimum Vent Height

Note: Any closets or storage spaces, which thevent passes through must be enclosed.
Diagram 3: The upper half of the flashing is installed
under the roofing material and not nailed down
until the chimney is installed. This allows for small
adjustments.
6) Continue to assemble pipe lengths.

Note: If an offset is necessary in the attic toavoid obstructions, it is important tosupport the vent pipe every 3 feet, toavoid excessive stress on the elbows,
and possible separation. Wall straps
are available for this purpose.
Diagram 2

Galvanized pipe is desirable above the roofline
due to its higher corrosion resistance. Continue
to add pipe sections through the flashing until theheight of the vent cap meets the minimum heightrequirements specified in Dia. 4 or local codes.
Note that for steep roof pitches, the verticalheight must be increased. A poor draft, or down
drafting can result from high wind conditions

INSTALLATION
Since some municipalities have additional local
codes it is always best to consult with your local
authorities and the CAN/CGA B149 installationcode.
For USA installations follow local codes and/or thecurrent National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
When using copper or flex connectors use only
approved fittings. Always provide a union so thatgas lines can be easily disconnected for servicing.
Flare nuts for copper lines and flex connectors areusually considered to meet this requirement.

GAS PIPE PRESSURETESTING
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual
shut-off valve during any pressure testing of thegas supply piping system at test pressures equal
to or less than 1/2 psig. (3.45 kPa). Disconnect
piping from valve at pressures over 1/2 psig.

IMPORTANT: Always check for gas leaks witha soap and water solution or gas leak detector.
Do not use open flame for leak testing.

The manifold pressure is controlled by a regulator
built into the gas control, and should be checkedat the pressure test point.
Note: To properly check gas pressure, both
inlet and manifold pressures should bechecked using the valve pressure portson the valve.
1) Make sure the valve is in the "OFF" position.

NOTE: A shutoff / dante valve should be supplied in or near the unit (or as per local codes)
for ease of servicing this appliance.

232) Loosen the "IN" and/or "OUT" pressure tap(s),turning counterclockwise with a
1/8" wide flat screwdriver.
3) Attach manometer to "IN" and/or "OUT" pressuretap(s) using a 5/16" ID hose.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSOPERATING
INSTRUCTIONSLIGHTING
PROCEDURE

1) Read and understand these instructions before
operating this appliance.

IMPORTANT
To ignite or reignite the pilot, youmust first remove the glass door.

2) Check to see that all wiring is correct andenclosed to prevent possible shock.
3) Check to ensure there are no gas leaks.
4) Make sure the glass in the glass door frame
is properly positioned. Never operate theappliance with the glass removed.
5) Verify that the venting and cap are unobstructed.
6) The unit should never be turned off, and on
again without a minimum of a 60 second wait.

FIRST FIRE
The FIRST FIRE in your heater is part of the paintcuring process. To ensure the paint is properly
cured, it is recommended you burn your fireplace
for at least four (4) hours the first time.
When first operated, the unit will release an odour
caused by the curing of the paint and the burning
off of any oils remaining from manufacturing. Smoke
detectors in the house may go off at this time. Opena few windows to ventilate the room for a couple ofhours. The glass may require cleaning.
NOTE: When the glass is cold and the applianceis lit, it may cause condensation and fog
the glass. This condensation is normal andwill disappear in a few minutes as the glass
heats up.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE GLASSWHILE IT IS STILL HOT!
DO NOT BURN THE UNIT WITHOUT THE
GLASS DOOR IN PLACE.

During the first few fires, a white film
may develop on the glass front as part ofthe curing process. The glass should becleaned after the unit has cooled downor the film will bake on and become very
difficult to remove. Use a non-abrasive
cleaner and DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.

1) Press and release on ON/OFF button once
on the remote control or ON/OFF switch.
2) After approximately 4 seconds the spark
ignition system will spark for 60 seconds tolight the main burner.
3) The unit will turn on.
Note: The first try for ignition will last approximately 60 seconds. If there is no flame ignition(rectification) the board will stop sparking for
approximately 35 seconds. After wait time
, the board will start second try for ignitionby sparking for approximately 60 seconds .
If there is still no positive ignition the board
will go into lock out.
The system will need to be reset as follows:a) Turn the system off using ON/OFF switch
or press ON/OFF button - if using optional
remote.
b) After approximately 2 seconds turn on ON/
OFF switch or press ON/OFF button if using
optional remote.
c) Repeat step 2.

SHUTDOWNPROCEDURENORMAL OPERATINGSOUNDS OFGAS APPLIANCES
It is possible that you will hear some sounds fromyour gas appliance. This is perfectly normal due tothe fact that there are various gauges and typesof steel used within your appliance. Listed below
are some examples. All are normal operating
sounds and should not be considered as defects
in your appliance.
Burner Tray:
The burner tray is positioned directly under theburner and is made of a different gauge material
from the rest of the firebox and body. Therefore, thevarying thicknesses of steel will expand and contract
at slightly different rates which can cause "ticking"and "cracking" sounds. You should also be awarethat as there are temperature changes within theunit these sounds will likely re-occur. Again, this isnormal for steel fireboxes.
Pilot Flame:
While the pilot flame is on it can make a very slight"whisper" sound.
Gas Control Valve:
As the gas control valve turns ON and OFF, adull clicking sound may be audible, this is normal
operation of a gas regulator or valve.
Unit Body/Firebox:
Different types and thicknesses of steel will expand
and contract at different rates resulting in some"cracking" and "ticking" sounds will be heard
throughout the cycling process.
Blower Thermodisc:
When this thermally activated switch turns ON it will
create a small "clicking" sound. This is the switch
contacts closing and is normal.

1) Turn the wall mounted switch or remote to
the "OFF" position.
2) Press "OFF" on the remote control.
3) Turn the gas control knob to the "OFF" position to turn off the pilot.
