INSTALLATIONFRAMING & FINISHING
1) Determine the total thickness of facing material (e.g. drywall, woodplus ceramic tiles) to allow the finished surface to be flush with thefront of the unit. Total facing thickness can vary from 1/2" (13mm) to
1-1/4" (32mm) thick.
NOTE: Facing material may not protrude beyond unit, otherwise theoptional accesories will not be able to be mounted to the unit.

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 other suitable 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 be laid directly on topof 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 the vent 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.
The top of the glass door frame must not be closer than 35" (889mm)
to the ceiling.

Note: When constructing the framed opening, please ensure thereis access to install the gas lines when the unit is installed.
3) 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.)
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.

VENTING INTRODUCTION
The P33E 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 P33SE: 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 (seefollowing "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.

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.

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.

Regency P33SE Gas Fireplace

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.

Diagram 2a

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 fromentering the Snorkel Termination. Refer
to Snorkel 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 all other approved
Horizontal Termination Caps 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*As specified in CGA B149 Installation Code.
Local codes or regulations may require different
clearances.

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.

27

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 systemand 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 theceiling. Drill a small hole at thispoint. Next, drop a plumbbob from the roof to thehole previously drilled in
the ceiling, and mark the
spot where the vent will
Diagram 1
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 roof line
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 is on
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 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
are usually considered to meet this requirement.
Important: Always check for gas leaks with asoap and water solution or gas leak detector.
Do not use open flame for leak testing.

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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSINSTALLATIONOPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Read and understand these instructions
before operating this appliance.
2) Check to see that all wiring is correct andenclosed to prevent possible shock.

LIGHTING PROCEDURE
1) Turn on ON/OFF switch or press and releaseon ON/OFF button once on the remotecontrol if being used.

3) The unit will turn on.

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.

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.

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.

2) After approximately 4 seconds the spark
ignition system will spark for 60 seconds tolight the main burner.

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.

The system will need to be reset as follows:

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!

NORMAL OPERATINGSOUNDS OFGAS APPLIANCESa) 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 1.

SHUTDOWNPROCEDURE

Pilot Flame:
While the pilot flame is on it can make a veryslight "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 beheard throughout the cycling process.

1) Turn ON/OFF switch or press and release
the ON/OFF button once if using optional
Remote Control.
2) If service is to be performed - you must
disconnect both sources of power to theunit, the main power and battery.

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.
