INSTALLATIONFINISHING
IMPORTANT FINISHING DETAIL NOTE:

Important:

Before placing unit into final position - it is important to know the total thickness / height of finished hearth (tile, carpet, etc.) The base of the fireplaceshould be level or higher than the finished hearth height.

Finishing materials such as tile, river rock, etc, must not protrude beyond
the front facing flanges the sides and top of the firebox opening.
Full Screen Doors Only:
If finishing with any material thicker than 1-1/4" - a 3/4" gap must be
maintained between the full screen doors and the finishing material.
This gap is necessary to facilitate the installation and removal of the fullscreen doors.

Diagram 1

Note:
All non-combustible facing material should butt up cleanly to theflanges around the firebox opening.
Rough edges will be visible from the front view with the flush louvers
or flush panels - if not using the optional finishing trim.
To maintain a clean finished edge - it is recommended to install the
non-combustible facing material with the finished edge against the
fireplace / nailing strips.
Alternatively, you can use J Style Trim or Metal Corner Bead to covercut edges of the non-combustible facing material.

moved into position.

TOP STANDOFF ASSEMBLY
The top standoffs are shipped in a flat position and must 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.
3) Attach the standoff securely to the top with 2 screws per standoff (on opposite
corners).

TOP FACING SUPPORTSIDE NAILING STRIPS

Determine the total thickness of facing material (e.g. drywall or wood plus ceramic tiles) toallow the finished surface to be flush with the front of the unit. Total facing thickness can varyfrom 1/2" (13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm) thick.

INSTALLATIONVENTING INTRODUCTION
The B41XT 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 fuel or gas burning appliance. Each direct vent gas appliance must use it's own separate vent system. Common vent systems are prohibited.

VENT RESTRICTOR & BAFFLE INSTALLATIONNOTE: THE VENT RESTRICTOR & BAFFLE MUST BE INSTALLED PRIOR TO OPTIONAL PANEL INSTALLATION.
1) Determine the venting configuration.
2) Go to venting arrangements section to determine if a vent restrictor
setting is required.
Note: The vent restrictor does not apply to rear vent applications.

NO VENT RESTRICTOR
Factory setting3) Remove baffle plate. See Diagram 3.
4) Align the vent restrictor plate to the required vent restrictor positionas per diagram 1.
5) Once the vent restrictor plate is in the required position, secure with
2 - 1/4" x 1/2" screws. Ensure all screws are tight, but do not overtighten. (See diagram 2).

5" X 8" VENTING(Rigid Vent Systems)

Minimum Vent Clearances
to Combustibles* Clearances noted below must be maintained;
except when passing through a wall, ceiling or at thetermination where the use of a firestop or wall thimble
reduces clearance to 1-1/2" (38mm).

Horizontal Top*3" (76mm)*

Vertical Vent

2" (51mm)

Below are the recommended framing dimensions (inside measurements) for the 5" x 8"
rigid vent terminations - for use with a firestop
or wall thimble.

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 andthe electrical (junction block is on the leftside) 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. Slip the adapter over the
existing inner and outer flue collar. Fasten
to the outer collar only with the 3 suppliedscrews (drilling pilot holes will make thiseasier).

5) Assemble the desired combination of pipeand elbows to the appliance adaptor andtwist-lock for a solid connection.

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

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.

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.

Horizontal runs of vent must be supported
every 3 feet (0.9meter). Wall straps areavailable for this purpose.
6) Mark the wall for a square hole.-see chart toleft for size. The center of the square holeshould line up with the center-line of thehorizontal pipe. Cut and frame the squarehole in the exterior wall 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 holeis acceptable.
Note:a) The horizontal run of vent must be level,or have a 1/4 inch rise for every 1 footof run towards the termination. Neverallow the vent to run downward. This
could cause high temperatures and may
present the possibility 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.

centerof holeDiagram 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 ventpipe 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 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 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 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 wayisup). 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
shorter to make it more workable.) Do notbend liner more than 90o. The liners mustslip over the collars a minimum of 1-3/8".

except when passing through a wall, ceiling or at thetermination where the use of a firestop or wall thimble
reduces clearance to 1-1/2" (38mm).

1) Maintain the 2" clearances (airspaces) to combustibles when
passing through ceilings, walls,
roofs, enclosures, attic rafter,or other nearby combustible
surfaces. Do not pack air
spaces with insulation. Check"Venting" Sections for the
maximum vertical rise of
the venting system and the
maximum horizontal offset
limitations.

Roof Pitch

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 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 2". Slip the flashing under
the shingles (shingles should overlap half
the flashing) as per Diagram 3.

2) Set the gas appliance inits desired location. Dropa plumb bob down from
Diagram 1

Note: Any closets or storage spaces, which thevent passes through must be enclosed.

GAS LINE
INSTALLATION
Diagram 3: 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.
6) Continue to assemble pipe lengths.

Note: All vertical terminations are vented using 5" x 8" venting and rigid pipe
adaptor #770-994.

Minimum Vent Height
Feet
MetersNote: 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.
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 Dia. 4 or local
codes. Note that for steep roof pitches, thevertical height must be increased. A poor
draft, or down drafting can result from highwind conditions near big trees or adjoining
roof lines, in these cases, increasing thevent height may solve the problem.

The gas line is brought through the right side of
the appliance. The gas valve is situated on theright hand side of the unit and the gas inlet ison the right hand side of the valve.
The gas line connection may be made of rigid
pipe, copper pipe or an approved flex connector.
(If you are using rigid pipe, ensure that the valve
can be removed for servicing.) Since somemunicipalities have additional local codes it isalways best to consult with your local authorities
and the CAN/CGA B149 installation code.
For USA installations follow local codes and/or the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1.
When using copper or flex connectors use only
approved fittings. Always provide a union sothat gas lines can be easily disconnected forservicing. Flare nuts for copper lines and flex
connectors are usually considered to meet thisrequirement.
Important: Always check for gas leaks with asoap and water solution or gas leak detector.
Do not use open flame for leak testing.
33

INSTALLATIONPILOT ADJUSTMENT
Periodically check the pilot flames. Correct
flame pattern has three strong blue flames:
1 flowing around the thermopile, 1 aroundthe thermocouple and 1 flowing across theburner (it does not have to be touching theburner).
Note:
If you have an incorrect flame
pattern, contact your FPI dealer for further
instructions.

GAS PIPE
PRESSURE TESTING
The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shut-off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system attest pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig.
(3.45 kPa). Disconnect piping from valve atpressures over 1/2 psig.
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
be checked using the valve pressure
ports on the valve.
1) Make sure the valve is in the "OFF"position.
2) Loosen the "IN" and/or "OUT" pressuretap(s), turning counterclockwise with a 1/8"
wide flat screwdriver.
3) Attach manometer to "IN" and/or "OUT"
pressure tap(s) using a 5/16" ID hose.
4) Light the pilot and turn the valve to "ON"position.
5) The pressure check should be carried out
with the unit burning and the setting should
be within the limits specified on the safety
label.
6) When finished reading manometer, turnoff the gas valve, disconnect the hose andtighten the screw (clockwise) with a 1/8" flatscrewdriver. Note: Screw should be snug,
but do not over tighten.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSOPERATING 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 areunobstructed.
6) The unit should never be turned off, and on
again without a minimum of a 60 second
wait.

FIRST FIRE

NOTE: The Gas ON/OFF knob cannot be turned
from "ON", "PILOT" or "OFF" unless it is partially depressed.
1) Ensure the wall mounted switch or remote 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 until the pilot
lights. After approximately one minute, release
the gas control knob. The pilot flame should
continue to burn.

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.

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.

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.

If the pilot does not remain lit, repeat operation
allowing a longer period before releasing gas
control knob.

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.

55
Regency Bellavista™ B41XT Gas Fireplace4) When the pilot stays lit, turn the gas control
knob to the "ON" position.
5) Use the wall switch or remote control to turnthe unit ON.
NOTE: When using the remote control refer to theremote manual.

NORMAL 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.

NOTE: If there is no spark present at the pilot when
depressed, the AA battery may be weak.
Refer to "DC Spark Battery Replacement"
section.

SHUTDOWNPROCEDURE
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.

the burner and control compartment clean bybrushing and vacuuming at least once a year.
When cleaning the logs, use a soft clean paintbrush as the logs are fragile and easily damaged.
2) Clean appliance and door with a damp cloth(never when unit is hot). Never use an abrasive
cleaner. The glass should be cleaned with a gas
fireplace glass cleaner. The glass should becleaned when it starts looking cloudy.
3) The heater is finished in a heat resistantpaint and should only be refinished with heat
resistant paint. Regency® uses StoveBright
Paint - Metallic Black #6309.

position and condition. Visually check the flameof the burner periodically, making sure theflames are steady; not lifting or floating. If there
is a problem, call a qualified service person.
5) The appliance and venting system must be
inspected before use, and at least annually,
by a qualified field service person, to ensurethat the flow of combustion and ventilation air
is not obstructed.
Note: Never operate the appliance without theglass properly secured in place.
6) Do not use this appliance if any part has been
under water. Immediately call a qualified service
technician to inspect the appliance and to
replace any part of the control system and any
gas control which has been under water.

check that the vent-air system has been properly
resealed & reinstalled in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
8) Verify operation after servicing.

General Vent MaintenanceConduct an inspection of the venting system semiannually. Recommended areas to inspect as follows:
1) Check the Venting System for corrosion in areasthat are exposed to the elements. These willappear as rust spots or streaks, and in extreme
cases, holes. These components should be
replaced immediately.
2) Remove the Cap, and shine a flashlight down the
Vent. Remove any bird nests, or other foreignmaterial.
3) Check for evidences of excessive condensation,such as water droplets forming in the inner
liner, and subsequently dripping out the joints,
Continuous condensation can cause corrosionof caps, pipe, and fittings. It may be caused

by having excessive lateral runs, too many
elbows, and exterior portions of the systembeing exposed to cold weather.

fittings have been disturbed, and consequently
loosened. Also check mechanical supports suchas Wall Straps, or plumbers' tape for rigidity.

LOG REPLACEMENTThe unit should never be used with broken logs. Turn
off the gas valve and allow the unit to cool before
opening door and carefully remove the logs. (Thepilot light generates enough heat to burn someone.)If for any reason a log should need replacement, youmust use the proper replacement log. The positionof these logs must be as shown in the diagrams
