NOTE: Framing is different when using the
faceplate option.
See framing section when using faceplate inthis manual.

5) Combustible material may be brought up to
the top and sides of the unit and be covered
with ceramic tiles, bricks, rock or othersuitable combustible finishing materials.
Note: The unit does not have to be completely
enclosed in a chase. The clearance on
top of the unit is 0" to the standoffs so
combustible building materials can belaid directly on top of the standoffs.
You must maintain clearance fromthe vent to combustible materials
for flex or for Rigid Vent (Refer to"Clearances" Section).

ceramic tiles) to allow the finished surface to be flush with the front of theunit. Total facing thickness can vary from 1/2" (13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm)
thick.
NOTE: Facing material may not protrude beyond unit, otherwise thetional accesories will not be able to be mounted to the unit.

op-

Install Side Nailing Strips, and Top Facing
Support before unit is slipped into position.
See "Unit Assembly Prior to Installation"
Section4) Combustible material may be brought up to the top and sides of the unit
and be covered with wood, drywall, ceramic tiles, bricks, rock or othersuitable combustible finishing materials.
Note: The unit does not have to be completely enclosed in a chase. The
clearance on top of the unit is 0" to the standoffs so combustiblebuilding materials can be laid directly on top of the standoffs. You
must maintain clearance from the vent to combustible materials
for flex or for Rigid Vent (Refer to "Clearances" Section).
5) Use steel studs for framing where the 1-1/2" (38mm) clearance from thevent to combustible material cannot be maintained.

Wood,

The HeatWave Duct Kit has different
clearance and framing requirements,
check the HeatWave manual for details.

2) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing material.

Note: When constructing the framed opening, please ensure there isaccess to install the gas lines when the unit is installed.
3) For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to the same degree as the restof the house, apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per local installation
codes. (Do not insulate the fireplace itself.)
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 notproduct related issues.

Important:
If the Contemporary Faceplate is used on the P33-NG4/P33-LP4
Gas Fireplace, the burner orifice (Both NG/LP supplied in thispackage) must be replaced and an overlay decal (also supplied withkit) must be affixed to the current serial number decal
supplied with unit.
Note: Also see framing dimensions for this optional front if installedon the P33-4 unit.
Note: Unit must be raised up by 1' to allow for faceplate
installation.

INSTALLATIONUNIT ASSEMBLY PRIOR TO INSTALLATIONThe Top Facing Support, the Side Nailing Strips andthe 2 Top Standoffs must be correctly positioned
and attached to the top before the unit is put into
position.

Top Standoff Assembly
The top standoffs are shipped in a flat position andmust be pulled up and bent into the correct shape.
1) Remove the standoffs from on top of the fireboxby undoing the screws.
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-punchedscrew holes on the firebox top line-up.
3) Attach the standoffs securely to the top with
4 screws per standoff.
Note: Secure the standoffs to the holes closest
to the edge of the firebox top.

Top Facing
SupportTop Facing Support &Side Nailing Strips
Determine the total thickness of facing material(e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to allow the finishedsurface to be flush with the front of the unit. Total
facing thickness can vary from 1/2" (13mm) to
1-1/4" (32mm) thick.

Side
Nailing
Strips(folded out)

The Top Facing Support & Side Nailing Strips canbe mounted in various positions depending on the
thickness of the facing material.

1) Mount Top Facing Support using the 3 suppliedscrews into the three pre-punched screw holeson the top front of the unit. Adjust support todesired facing material depth.
2) Mount Side Nailing Strip using the 3 suppliedscrews into the three pre-punched screw holes
at the front sides of the unit. Adjust support todesired facing material thickness.
For a facing material depth of
1-1/4"(32mm), the top facing
support must be reversed.

VENTING INTRODUCTION
The P33-4 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.
There are 5 vent systems approved for use with the P33-4: the Regency® Direct Vent Flex System for Horizontal Terminations only and the Simpson
Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct-Temp, Amerivent Direct Vent and Security Secure Vent Systems for Horizontal and Vertical Terminations (see following"Venting" Sections for more details).
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. (See"Rigid Pipe Venting System" for more details and exceptions).
NOTE: Ensure compliance with the outside vent terminal location before cutting hole as both dimensions must be met.

INSTALLATIONINSTALLATION PROCEDURES
for Regency® Direct Vent System (Flex)*If this is an outside corner, the minimum distance between the vent and the outside
corner is 6" (15cm) with AstroCap termination cap or 12" (30cm) with Dura-Vent
termination cap. See "F" in the diagram in "Exterior Vent Trmination Locations" Section.

1) Locate the unit in the framing, rough in thegas (preferably on the right side of the unit)
and the electrical (Junction block is on theleft side) on the left. Locate the centerline of
the termination and mark wall accordingly.
Cut a 10"(254mm) hole in the wall (inside
dimension).
Note: To make the installation moreaesthetically pleasing, we recommend
framing out a square to mount theterminal to.

Note: A 2-1/2" (64mm) horizontal top and1-1/2" (38mm) horizontal sides &bottom clearance around the liner
must be maintained except that only
a 1" (25mm) clearance is needed at
the termination end. We recommend
framing a 10"(254mm) x 10"(254mm)(inside dimensions) hole to give
structural rigidity for mounting thetermination.
Note: If installing termination on a siding
covered wall, furring strips must be
used to ensure that the termination
is not recessed 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 4"(100mm) inner collar of thetermination and slipping the 4"(100mm) liner
over it at least 1-3/8" (35mm). Fasten withthe 3 screws (drilling pilot holes will make thiseasier). Apply Mill Pac or high temperaturesilicone to the 6-7/8"(175mm) flex pipe andslip it over the 6-7/8" outer collar of the ventterminal at least 1-3/8"(35mm) and fasten
with the 3 screws.
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. The liners must slip
over the collars a minimum of 1-3/8".

Minimum and Maximum Vent Clearances
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.
6) Pull the centre 4"(100mm) liner and outer
6-7/8"(175mm) liner out enough to slip overthe flue collars of the fireplace.
7) Apply Mill Pac over the fireplace inner collar
and slip the 4"(100mm) liner down over it
and attach with 3 supplied screws.

4" (102mm)
dia. flue pipewith spring spacer

8) Do the same with the 6-7/8"(175mm) liner.
9) Apply a bead of silicone between thethimble and termination and around theouter edge of the terminal at the wall inorder to keep the water out.

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

INSTALLATIONUNIT INSTALLATION WITH HORIZONTAL TERMINATION
Install the vent system according to the
manufacturer's instructions included with thecomponents.

b) Horizontal runs of vent must be
supported every three feet. Wall straps
are available for this purpose.

1) Set the unit in its desired location. Checkto determine if wall studs or roof rafters
are in the way when the venting system is
attached. If this is the case, you may wantto adjust the location of the unit. Rough inthe gas preferably on the right side of theunit and the electrical (junction block is on
the left side) on the left.

5) Mark the wall for a 10" x 10" square hole.
The center of the square hole should line
up with the centerline of the horizontal pipe.
Cut and frame the 10 inch square hole in
the exterior wall where the vent will beterminated. If the wall being penetrated isconstructed of non-combustible material, i.e.
masonry block or concrete, a 7"(178mm)
diameter (7-1/2"(191mm) dia. for flex) holeis acceptable.

2) Direct Vent pipe and fittings are designedwith special twist-lock connections toconnect the venting system to the appliance
flue outlet. A twist-lock appliance adaptor
is an available option that must be used inconjunction with the Simpson Dura-Vent
Direct Vent system.
3) Put a bead of silicone inside the outer sectionof the adapter and a bead of Fireplace Mateon the inner collar. Slip the adapter over the
existing inner and outer flue collar and fasten
to the outer collar only with the 3 suppliedscrews (drilling pilot holes will make thiseasier). Level the fireplace and fasten it to
the framing using nails or screws throughthe nailing strips.
4) Assemble the desired combination of pipeand elbows to the appliance adaptor andtwist-lock for a solid connection.
Note:a) Twist-lock procedure: Four indentations,located on the female ends of pipes andfittings, are designed to slide straightonto the male ends of adjacent pipes
and fittings, by orienting the four pipe
indentations so they match and slide
in to the four entry slots on the maleends, Dia. 1. Push the pipe sections
completely together, then twist-lock
one section clockwise approximately
one-quarter turn, until the two sections
are fully locked. The female locking lugs
will not be visible from the outside, on
the Black Pipe or fittings. They may belocated by examining the inside of thefemale ends.

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,
and must not be blocked or obstructed.
See "Exterior Vent Terminal Locations"
Section.
c) Snorkel Terminations:
For installations requiring a vertical riseon the exterior of the building, 14-inch
and 36-inch tall Snorkel Terminations
and the Riser Vent as shown in
Dia. 2 & 2a are available. Follow thesame installation procedures as used
for standard Horizontal Termination.
NEVER install the snorkel upside
down.

Riser Vent
Termination

Min. 6-1/4"*(159mm)Below Grade Snorkel Installation
If the Snorkel Termination must be
installed below grade, i.e. basement
application, proper drainage must be
provided to prevent water from entering
the Snorkel Termination. Refer toDura-Vent Installation instructions fordetails. Do not attempt to enclose theSnorkel within the wall, or any othertype of enclosure.
6) The arrow on the vent cap should
be pointing up. Insure that the 1-1/2"
clearances to combustible materials aremaintained (Dia. 3). Install the termination
cap. AstroCapTM or Dura-Vent Horizontal
Termination Cap may be used.

Diagram 3
The four wood screws provided should
be replaced with appropriate fasteners forstucco, brick, concrete, or other types ofsidings.

Diagram 2

Diagram 1
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 drafting or performance issues notcovered under warranty. Silicone (red RTV)
is optional.

Diagram 2a*As specified in CGA B149 Installation Code.
Local codes or regulations may require different
clearances.

Regency® P33-4 Zero Clearance Direct Vent Gas Fireplace

Note: If installing termination on a siding
covered wall, a vinyl siding standoff
or furring strips must be used toensure that the termination is notrecessed into the siding.
7) Before connecting the horizontal run of ventpipe to the vent termination, slide the Wall
Thimble (Part # 620-926) over the vent
pipe.

31

INSTALLATION
8) Slide the appliance and vent assembly
towards the wall carefully inserting thevent pipe into the vent cap assembly. It is
important that the vent pipe extends into thevent cap sufficient distance so as to resultin a minimum pipe overlap of 1-1/4 inches.
Secure the connection between the ventpipe and the vent cap 3 sheet metal screws.

4) Assemble the desired lengths of pipe andelbows. Ensure that all pipes and elbow
connections are in the fully twist-locked
position and sealed.
Diagram 4

9) Install wall thimble in the center of the10" square and attach with wood screws(Diagram 4).

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 drafting or performance issues notcovered under warranty. Silicone (red RTV)
is optional.
Diagram 4

UNIT INSTALLATIONWITH VERTICALTERMINATION

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

1) Maintain the 1-1/2" clearances (air spaces) to
combustibles when passing through ceilings,
walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafter, or othernearby combustible surfaces. Do not packair spaces with insulation. Check "Venting"
Sections for the maximum
vertical rise of the venting
system and the maximum
horizontal offset limitations.
2) Set the gas appliance in its
desired location. Drop a plumbbob down from the ceiling to
the position of the appliance
flue exit, and mark the location
where the vent will penetrate
the ceiling. Drill a small
hole at this point. Next,
drop a plumb bob from theroof to the hole previously
drilled in the ceiling, andmark the spot where theDiagram 1
vent will penetrate the roof.
3) A Firestop spacer must be installed in thefloor or ceiling of every level. To install theFirestop spacer in a flat ceiling or wall,
cut a 10 inch square hole. Frame the holeas shown in Diagram 2 and install thefirestop.

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: 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.
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.

The gas line is brought through the right sideof the appliance. The gas valve is situated on
the right hand side of the unit and the gas inlet
is on the right hand side of the valve.
The gas line connection may be made ofrigid pipe, copper pipe or an approved flex
connector. (If you are using rigid pipe, ensurethat the valve can be removed for servicing.)
Since some municipalities have additional
local codes it is always best to consult withyour 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 meetthis requirement.
Important: Always check for gas leaks
with a soap and water solution or gas leakdetector. Do not use open flame for leaktesting.

allowing a longer period before releasing gas

Regency Gas Fireplace

During the first few fires, a white film
may develop on the glass front as partof the curing process. The glass should
be cleaned or the film will bake on andbecome very difficult to remove. Use a
non-abrasive cleaner and NEVER clean
the glass while it is hot.

AERATION
ADJUSTMENT

5) Verify that the venting and cap are unobstructed.

LIGHTING PROCEDURE

DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCEWITHOUT THE GLASS FRONT IN
PLACE.

SHUTDOWNPROCEDURE
1) Use the wall switch, thermostat or remotecontrol to turn off the main burner.
2) Turn the main gas control clockwise to the"OFF" position to turn off the pilot.

Minimum Air Shutter Opening:
3/16" Natural Gas - Orifice # 44
1/8" NG (w/faceplate) -Orifice #47
3/8" Propane Orifice # 54
1/4" LP (w/faceplate) - Orifice #56
CAUTION: Carbon will be produced if air shutter
is closed too much.

3) Turn off all electric power to appliance if service
is to be performed.

FIRST FIRE
The first fire in your fireplace is part of the paintcuring process. To ensure that the paint is properly
cured, it is recommended that you burn yourfireplace for at least four (4) hours the first time
you use it with the fan on.
When first operated, the unit will release an odour
caused by the curing of the paint, the burning offof 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 acouple of hours.

Airshutterwire
Adjustment Wire: push to closeor pull to open aeration cap
Closed - Tall yellow
Open - Short blue

The glass panel may require cleaning after theunit has cooled down. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.

Note: Any damage due to carboning resulting
from improperly setting the aeration
controls is NOT covered under warranty.

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.

Note: Aeration Adjustment should only be
performed by an authorized Regency®
Installer at the time of installation orservice.

MAINTENANCENORMAL 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.
Blower:Regency® gas appliances use high tech blowers
to push heated air farther into the room. It is not
unusual for the fan to make a "whirring" soundwhen ON. This sound will increase or decreasein volume depending on the speed setting of yourfan speed control.

GENERAL VENTMAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Always turn off the gas valve before cleaning.
For relighting, refer to lighting instructions. Keep
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 resistant paintand should only be refinished with heat resistantpaint. Regency® uses StoveBright Paint - Metallic Black #6309.

Burner Tray:
The burner tray is positioned directly under theburner tube(s) and logs and is made of a different
gauge material from the rest of the firebox andbody. Therefore, the varying thicknesses ofsteel 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.

4) Make a periodic check of burner for proper position and condition. Visually check the flame of
the burner periodically, making sure the flames
are steady; not lifting or floating. If there is aproblem, call a qualified service person.

Blower Thermodisc:
When this thermally activated switch turns ON
it will create a small "clicking" sound. This is theswitch contacts closing and is normal.

Note: Never operate the appliance without the glass
properly secured in place.

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.

5) The appliance and venting system must be
inspected before use, and at least annually, by
a qualified field service person, to ensure thatthe flow of combustion and ventilation air is not
obstructed.

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 nay part of the control system and any
gas control which has been under water.

Conduct 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 causedby having excessive lateral runs, too many
elbows, and exterior portions of the systembeing exposed to cold weather.
4) Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe sections or
fittings have been disturbed, and consequently
loosened. Also check mechanical supports suchas Wall Straps, or plumbers' tape for rigidity.

GOLD-PLATEDLOUVERS/TRIMThe 24 carat gold-plated finish on the louvers andtrim requires little maintenance, and need only becleaned with a damp cloth. DO NOT use abrasive
materials or chemical cleaners, as they may harm
the finish and void the warranty. Clean any fingerprints off before turning the unit on.

7) Verify operation after servicing.

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
under Log Installation.
Note: Improper positioning of logs may createcarbon build-up and will severely alter theunit's performance which is not covered
under warranty.
