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 thefireplace should 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 finishingmaterial.
This gap is necessary to facilitate the installation and removal of thefull screen doors.

Diagram 1

Note:

All non-combustible facing material should butt up cleanly
to the flanges 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 Beadto cover cut edges of the non-combustible facing material.

INSTALLATIONUNIT ASSEMBLY PRIOR TO INSTALLATIONBEFORE YOU STARTThe Top Facing Support, the Side Nailing Strips, the 2 Top Standoffs and the Flue Collar must be correctly positioned and attached before the fireplace
is moved into position.

TOP STANDOFF ASSEMBLY
The top standoffs are shipped in a flat position and must be folded into shape andattached.
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.

The side nailing strips come attached to the unit.
There are 2 plates, one on the top and bottomthat can be folded out as required.

Screw
Position
The Top Facing Support can be mounted in
3 different positions depending on the
thickness of the facing material.

VENTINGINTRODUCTION
The B36XT uses the "balanced flue" technology Co-Axial system.
The inner liner vents products of combustion to the outside while theouter 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:

Diagram 8

These flue pipes must not be connected to any otherappliance.

The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to theoutside 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 ventsystems are prohibited.

1) Determine the venting configuration.
2) Remove top heat deflector and baffle plate (reverse of steps 5 & 6).
3) Go to venting arrangements section (in the manual) to determine if
a vent restrictor setting is required.
Note: The vent restrictor does not apply to rear vent applications.
4) Align the vent restrictor plate to the required vent restrictor positionas per the diagrams shown.
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).

Wall thickness is measured from the back standoffs to the inside mounting surface of termination cap. For siding other than vinyl furring strips
may be used, instead of the vinyl siding standoff, to create a level surface to mount the vent 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.
Note:
The 4" x 6-5/8" Regency Flex Kits (946-515 & 946-516) are not approved for use with this fireplace. Only rigid pipe may be used

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 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.

Diagram 1

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.

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

4" X 6-5/8" VENTING(Rigid Vent Systems)(MUST USE REDUCER#946-606 AND RIGID PIPE ADAPTOR#770-994)
1) Maintain the 1-1/2" clearances(air spaces) to combustibles
when passing through ceilings,
walls, roofs, enclosures,
attic rafter, or other nearby
combustible surfaces. Do notpack air spaces with insulation.
Check "Venting" Sections forthe maximum vertical rise of
the venting system and the
maximum horizontal offset
limitations.
2) Set the gas appliance inits desired location. Dropa plumb bob down from
Diagram 1
the ceiling to the positionof the appliance flue exit, and mark thelocation where the vent will penetrate theceiling. Drill a small hole at this point. Next,
drop a plumb bob from the roof to the holepreviously drilled in the ceiling, and markthe spot where the vent will penetrate theroof.
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.

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

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 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 4" x 6-5/8" venting andreducer #946-606 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.

GAS LINE
INSTALLATION
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.

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 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 INSTRUCTIONSINSTALLATIONOPERATING
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
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 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!

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 thepilot lights. After approximately one minute,release the gas control knob. The pilot flame
should continue to burn.

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,
the varying thicknesses of steel will expand andcontract 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 these sounds 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.

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.

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.

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

Unit Body/Firebox:
Different types and thicknesses of steel will
expand and contract at different rates resulting
in some "cracking" and "ticking" sounds will beheard throughout the cycling process.

4) 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 tothe remote manual.

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

DO NOT BURN THE UNIT WITHOUT THE
GLASS DOOR IN PLACE.

SHUTDOWNPROCEDURE

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) 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
paint brush 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 agas fireplace glass cleaner. The glass should
be cleaned 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.
4) Make a periodic check of burner for proper
position and condition. Visually check theflame of the burner periodically, making surethe flames 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.
7) In the event this appliance has been serviced
check that the vent-air system has been
properly resealed & reinstalled in accordancewith the manufacturer's instructions.
8) Verify operation after servicing.

General Vent MaintenanceConduct an inspection of the venting systemsemi-annually. 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 otherforeign material.
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
such as Wall Straps, or plumbers' tape forrigidity.

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.
(The pilot light generates enough heat to burnsomeone.) If for any reason a log should needreplacement, you must use the proper replacement
log. The position of these logs must be as shownin the diagrams under Log Installation.
Note: Improper positioning of logs may createcarbon build-up and will severely alter
the unit's performance which is notcovered under warranty.
