INSTALLATIONUNIT ASSEMBLYPRIOR TO
INSTALLATIONSIDE NAILING STRIPS
The side nailing strips come attached to the unit.
There are 2 plates on each side, one on the top andbottom that can be folded out as required.

The Finishing Template uses two magnets to attach
itself to the flange on the left or right side of the unit
(see diagram below). Install the facing material up
to the outside edge (when facing the unit) of thefinishing template. This template may be discarded
after the facing material has been installed.

The Top Facing Support, the Side Nailing Strips andthe 2 Top Standoffs must be correctly positioned
and attached to the top before unit is slipped into
position.

TOP STANDOFF ASSEMBLY
The top standoffs are shipped in a flat position andmust be folded into shape and attached.
1) Remove the standoffs from the fireplace top.
2) Take each standoff and bend into the correct
shape. Bend up at the bend lines until the screw
holes in the standoff and the pre-punched screw
holes on the fireplace top line up.

FinishingTemplate

3) Attach the standoff securely to the top with 2screws per standoff (on opposite corners).

Side Nailing Strips shown folded out.

FINISHING TEMPLATE
In order to maintain a clean face; the L676S allows
for a 1/8” in overlap of finishing material, such as
rock or tile, on both the left and right hand sides of
the unit (top and bottom sides do not allow for an
overlap), this overlap must not be exceeded or theglass door will no longer open properly.
Non-combustible wall board is installed up to theflanges on all sides of the unit. When installing any
additional facing material use the Finishing Template(included with the unit) to ensure that the finishingmaterial does not exceed the allowable overlap.

Left Side Flange

VENTING INTRODUCTION
The L676S uses the "balanced flue" technology
Co Axial system. The inner liner vents productsof combustion to the outside while the outer liner
draws outside combustion air into the combustion
chamber thereby eliminating the need to use heatedroom 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
fuel or gas burning appliance. Each direct vent gas
appliance must use it's own separate vent system.
Common vent systems are prohibited.

Wall thickness is measured from the backstandoffs to the inside mounting surface oftermination cap. For siding other than vinyl furring
strips may be used, instead of the vinyl siding
standoff, to create a level surface to mount thevent terminal.The Terminal must not be recessed
into siding. Measure the wall thickness including
furring strips.
If a Vinyl Siding Standoff is required (it must
be used with vinyl siding), measure to outside
surface of wall without siding and add 2 inches.

INSTALLATIONUNIT INSTALLATIONWITH HORIZONTALTERMINATION(Rigid Vent Systems)
A top clearance of 3"(76mm) and side & bottom
clearance of 2"(51mm) must be maintained;
except when passing through a wall, ceiling, or at the termination where the use of afirestop or wall thimble reduces the required
clearance to 1-1/2" (38mm). We recommend
framing a 11"(279mm) x 11"(279mm) (inside
dimensions) hole to give structural rigidity
for mounting the termination.

Horizontal runs of vent must be supported
every 3 feet (0.9meter). Wall straps areavailable for this purpose.

7) Ensure that the pipe clearances tocombustible materials are maintained(Diagram 5). Install the termination cap.

6) Mark the wall for a 11" x 11" (279mm x
279mm) square hole. The center of thesquare hole should line up with the centerlineof the horizontal pipe. Cut and frame the 11
inch (279mm) square hole in the exteriorwall where the vent will be terminated. See
diagram 2 for centerline requirements.

Note: If installing termination on a vinyl
siding covered wall, a vinyl siding
standoff or furring strips must be used
to ensure that the termination is notrecessed into the siding.

If the wall being penetrated is constructed of
non-combustible material, i.e. masonry block
or concrete, an 8" (203mm) diameter holeis acceptable.

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
the location of the unit. Rough in the gas
preferably on the right side of the unit and theelectrical (junction block is on the left side)on the left.

Diagram 5
The four wood screws provided should be replaced with appropriate fasteners for stucco,
brick, concrete, or other types of sidings.

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 Simpson Direct Vent
Pro system, install the adaptor after the unit isset in its desired location. Put a bead of hightemperature silicone inside the outer sectionof the adapter and a bead of Mill Pack on the
inner collar. Slip the adapter over the existing
inner and outer flue collar. Fasten to the outercollar only with the 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 andside nailing strips.
5) Assemble the desired combination of pipeand elbows to the appliance adaptor andtwist-lock for a solid connection.
Note: For best results and optimum
performance with each approved
venting system, it is highly
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.

8) Before connecting the horizontal run of ventpipe to the vent termination, slide the Wall
Thimble over the vent pipe. The wall thimble
is required for all horizontal terminations.
Diagram 2
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, andmust not be blocked or obstructed. See"Exterior Vent Termination Locations"section for more details.

9) Slide the appliance and vent assembly
towards the wall carefully inserting the ventpipe into the vent cap assembly. It is importantthat the vent pipe extends into the vent cap
sufficient distance so as to result in a minimum
pipe overlap of 1-1/4 inches (32mm). Secure
the connection between the vent pipe andthe vent cap.
10) Install wall thimble in the center of the 11"(279mm) square and attach with wood screws(Diagram 7).

INSTALLATIONUNIT INSTALLATIONWITH VERTICALTERMINATION(Rigid Vent Systems)
Note: A clearance of 2"(51mm) must be
maintained; except when passing
through a wall, ceiling, or at thetermination where the use of a firestop
or wall thimble reduces the required
clearance to 1-1/2" (38mm). We
recommend framing a 11"(279mm) x
11"(279mm) (inside dimensions) hole
to give structural rigidity for mounting
the termination.
1) Maintain the 2" (51mm)
clearances (air spaces)t o c o m bu s t i bl e s w h e npassing through ceilings,
walls, roofs, enclosures,
attic rafter, or other nearby
combustible surfaces.
Do not pack air spaces
with insulation. Check"Venting Arrangement- Ver tical Termination"section for the maximum
vertical rise of the venting
system and the maximum
horizontal offset limitations.
2) Set the gas appliance inDiagram 1
its desired location.
Drop a plumb bob
down from the ceilingto the position of theappliance flue exit,
and mark the location
where the vent will
penetrate the ceiling.
Drill a small hole at
his point. Next, dropa plumb bob fromthe roof to the holepreviously drilled in
the ceiling, and markthe spot where thevent will penetrate theDiagram 2
roof. Determine if ceiling joists, roof rafters orother framing will obstruct the venting system.
You may wish to relocate the appliance or tooffset, as shown in Diagram 2 to avoid cutting
load bearing members.
3) A Firestop spacer must be installed in the floor
or ceiling of every level.

Diagram 3

Regency® L676S Direct Vent Gas Fireplace

4) Assemble the desired lengths of pipe andelbows. Ensure that all pipes and elbow
connections are in the fully twist-locked
position and sealed.
Note:
For best results and optimum performancewith each approved venting system, it ishighly recommended to apply “Mill-Pac”
sealant (supplied) to every inner pipe connection. Failure to do so may result in draftingor performance issues not covered underwarranty. Silicone (red RTV) is optional.

5) Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small
drilled hole placed in the roof in Step 2. The
hole should be of sufficient size to meetthe minimum requirements for clearance to
combustibles of 1-1/2"(38mm). Slip the flashingunder the shingles (shingles should overlap
half the flashing) as per Diagram 4.

A poor draft, or down drafting can result fromhigh wind conditions near big trees or adjoining
roof lines, in these cases, increasing the ventheight may solve the problem.
7) Ensure vent is vertical and secure the baseof the flashing to the roof with roofing rails,
slide storm collar over the pipe section andseal with a mastic.
8) Install the vertical termination cap by twistlocking it.
Note: Any closets or storage spaces, which
the vent passes through must be
enclosed.

Diagram 4: The upper half of the flashing isinstalled under the roofing material and not
nailed down until the chimney is installed.
This allows for small adjustments.

Offset Chart

6) Continue to assemble pipe lengths.
Note: If an offset is necessary in the attic
to avoid obstructions, it is importantto support the vent pipe every 3
feet (0.9 meter), to avoid 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
the height of the vent cap meets the minimum
height requirements specified in Diagram 5 or
local codes. Note that for steep roof pitches,
the vertical height must be increased.

INSTALLATIONUNIT INSTALLATIONHORIZONTAL TERMINATIONWITH FLEX VENT SYSTEM
Note: A top clearance of 3"(76mm) andside & bottom clearance of 2"(51mm)
must be maintained; except when
passing through a wall, ceiling, or at
the termination where the use of afirestop or wall thimble reduces therequired clearance to 1-1/2" (38mm).
We recommend framing a 11"(279mm)
x 11"(279mm) (inside dimensions)hole to give structural rigidity for
mounting the termination.
1) Locate the unit in the framing, rough in thegas (preferably on the right side of the unit).
Locate the centerline of the termination andmark wall accordingly. Cut an 11"(279mm)
hole in the wall (inside dimension).

4) Separate the 2 halves of the wall thimble andsecurely fasten the one with the tabs to theoutside wall making sure that the tabs areon top and bottom. Fasten the other thimble
half to the inside wall.The thimble halves slip
inside each 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 surethe termination cap faces up (there are
markings on the cap that show 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.

IMPORTANT: Do not locate termination
hood where excessive snow or ice
buildup may occur. Be sure to check venttermination area after snow falls, and clear
to prevent accidental blockage of venting
system. When using snow blowers, makesure snow is not directed towards venttermination area.

ASTROCAP XLDIMENSIONS (946-623/P)

6) Pull the centre 5"(127mm) liner and outer
8"(203mm) liner out enough to slip overthe flue collars of the fireplace. (You may
wish to cut the liner shorter to make it moreworkable.) Do not bend liner more than 90o.
The liners must slip over the collars aminimum of 1-3/8".

7) Apply Mill Pac over the fireplace inner collar
and slip the 5"(127mm) liner down over it
and attach with 3 supplied screws.
8) Do the same with the 8"(203mm) liner.
9) Apply a bead of silicone between the thimble
and termination and around the outer edgeof the terminal at the wall in order to keep
the water out.
Note: If installing termination on a siding
covered wall, a vinyl siding standoff
or vinyl furring strips must be used
to ensure that the termination is notrecessed into the siding.
2) Level the fireplace and fasten it to the framing using nails or screws through the nailingstrips.
3) Assemble the vent assembly by applying
Mill Pac to the 5"(127mm) inner collar of thetermination and slipping the 5"(127mm) liner
over it at least 1-3/8" (35mm). Fasten with the
3 screws (drilling pilot holes will make thiseasier). Apply Mill Pac or high temperaturesilicone to the 8"(203mm) flex pipe and slip
it over the 8" outer collar of the vent terminal
at least 1-3/8"(35mm) and fasten with the 3screws.
NOTE:

again without a minimum of a 60 second
wait.

LIGHTING
PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT
To ignite or reignite the pilot, youmust first remove the glass door.
NOTE: The Gas ON/OFF knob cannot be
turned from "ON", "PILOT" or "OFF" unless
it is partially depressed.
1) Ensure the 3-way switch on the wall mounted
receiver is in the "OFF" position.
2) Turn the gas control knob so the indicator
points to the "OFF" position and wait 5 minutes for any gas in the combustion chamber
to escape.
3) Turn the gas control knob counterclockwise
so the indicator points to the "PILOT" position.
Depress the gas control knob fully. Depress
the igniter button until the pilot lights. Afterapproximately one minute, release the gas
control knob. The pilot flame should continue
to burn.

MATCHING REMOTE
CONTROL & RECEIVER
CODE(OPTIONAL)
The Remote Control Handset has a set of unique
ID codes that is pre-programmed into its memory.
This set of ID codes helps to differentiate one
Remote Control Handset from another so that
only the control box with a matching ID code
will respond to the appropriate Remote Control
Handset.
To ensure the remote control is matched to thereceiver correctly, please follow the steps below:

Only when the pilot holds, without pressure
being applied to the gas control knob, re-install
the glass door to the unit. The unit must not
be operated without the glass door in place.
If the pilot does not remain lit, repeat operation allowing a longer period before releasinggas control knob.

FIRST FIRE
The FIRST FIRE in your heater is part of thepaint curing process. To ensure the paint is properly cured, it is recommended you burn yourfireplace for at least four (4) hours the first time.
When first operated, the unit will release anodour caused by the curing of the paint and theburning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing. Smoke detectors in the house may go off
at this time. Open a few windows to ventilate
the room for a couple of hours. 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
and will disappear in a few minutes as
the glass heats up.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE
GLASS WHILE 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.

4) When the pilot stays lit, turn the gas control
knob to the "ON" position.
5) Use the wall switch or optional remote control
to turn the unit ON.
NOTE: When using the optional remote control
refer to the remote manual.

1) Install 4 "AA" batteries into the receiver.
2) Turn the 3-way switch on the receiver to the"Remote" position.
3) Using a small pointy object (ie. the end of apaper clip) press the button marked "PRG"on the receiver.The receiver will beep 3 times
to indicate that it is ready to synchronize withthe remote control.
4) Install 3 "AAA' batteries into the remote control and push the "ON" button. The receiverwill beep 4 times to indicate the remotecontrol's command has been accepted andsets to the particular code of that remotecontrol.

Regency® L676S Direct Vent Gas Fireplace

SHUTDOWNPROCEDURE

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSNORMAL 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 tube and is made of a different gaugematerial from the rest of the firebox and body.
Therefore, the varying thicknesses of steel
will expand and contract at slightly different
rates which can cause "ticking" and "cracking"sounds. You should also be aware that as there
are temperature changes within the unit thesesounds will likely re-occur. Again, this is normal
for steel fireboxes.
Pilot Flame:
While the pilot flame is on it can make a veryslight "whisper" sound.
