CLEARANCESMANTELS

The clearances listed below are Minimum
distances unless otherwise stated:

Because of the extreme heat this fireplace emits, the mantel clearances are critical.
Combustible mantel clearances from louver are shown in the diagram below.

A major cause of chimney related fires isfailure to maintain required clearances (airspace) to combustible materials. It is of thegreatest importance that this fireplace andvent system be installed only in accordancewith these instructions.

Note: A non-combustible mantel may be installed at a lower height if the framing is madeof metal studs covered with a non-combustible board.

can vary from 1/2" (13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm)
thick.

5) The unit does not have to be completely
enclosed in a chase. The clearance on topof the unit from the top standoffs is 0" so
combustible building materials can be laid
directly on top of the standoffs. You must
maintain these clearances from the vent
to combustible materials: Flex Termination
clearance 1-1/2" (38mm), Simpson Dura-Vent
clearance or (1-1/4" (32mm). Combustible
materials can be laid against the side andback standoffs and the fireplace base.

2) Frame in the enclosure for the unit withframing material. The framed opening forthe assembled kit is 36-5/8" high x 40-1/4"
wide x 19" deep (930mm H x 1022mm W
x 483mm D). See Diagram 1.

the hole for a 1/2" (13mm) thick facing
material and the slot for a range ofthickness from 3/4" to 1-1/2" (25mm to38mm).

VENTINGINTRODUCTION
The P42 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 theneed to use heated room air for combustion andlosing 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 aseparate 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

Diagram 1
Note: 43" (1092mm) is the minimum heightfor flex termination and Rigid Pipeterminations.
3) For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to
the same degree as the rest of the house,
apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per
local installation codes. (Do not insulate
the fireplace itself.)

INSTALLATIONRIGID PIPE VENTING
Horizontal or Vertical Terminations
The Rigid Pipe Venting System offers a complete line of component parts for installation of both horizontal and vertical installations. Many items areoffered in decorative black, as well as galvanized finish. We recommend using the galvanized finish for installation with the P42.
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 tomount the vent terminal. The Terminal mustnot be recessed into siding. Measure the wall
thickness including furring strips.

The minimum components required for a basic
horizontal termination are:

INSTALLATIONHORIZONTALTERMINATIONS
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.

b) Horizontal runs of vent must be
supported every 3 feet (0.9meter). Wallstraps are available for this purpose.
5) Mark the wall for a 10" x 10" (254mm x
254mm) square hole. The center of thesquare hole should line up with the centerline of the horizontal pipe. Cut and frame the
10 inch (254mm) square hole in the exteriorwall where the vent will be terminated.
If the wall being penetrated is constructedof non-combustible material, i.e. masonry
block or concrete, a 7" (178mm) diameter (71/2" (190mm) for flex) hole is acceptable.

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 an available
option that must be used in conjunction with
the Simpson Dura-Vent Direct Vent system.
Install the adaptor after the unit is set in its
desired location otherwise the unit will not
fit through the 36-5/8" (930mm) high frame
opening.

Diagram 3

Note: Riser Vent
is only for use
in above grade
terminations.

3) Put a bead of silicone inside the outer
section of the adapter and a bead of Stove
Mate on the inner collar. Slip the adapter
over the existing inner and outer flue collar
and fasten to the outer collar only with the
3 supplied screws (drilling pilot holes will
make this easier). Level the fireplace andfasten it to the framing using nails or screws
through the 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 into the four entry slots on the male ends.
(Diagram 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 2
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 mustmeet all local and national building
codes, and must not be blocked or
obstructed. For External Vent Terminal
Locations, see diagram in the "Exterior
Vent Termination Locations" section.
c) Snorkel Terminations:
For installations requiring a vertical riseon the exterior of the building, 14-inch
and 36-inch tall Snorkel Terminations(diagram 3 & 4) are available, as wellas the standard Riser Vent, diagram 3a.
Follow the same installation procedures
as used for standard Horizontal
Termination. NEVER install the snorkel
upside down.

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.

*Diagrams 3, 3a & 4: As
specified in CGA B149
Installation Code. Local
codes or regulations
may require different
clearances.

Diagram 3a

Below Grade 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 to Diagram 4.
Do not attempt to
enclose the Snorkel
within the wall, or
any other type of
enclosure.

NOTE: For Snorkel terminations in ABOVE
grade installations, follow national or
local code requirements.

7) Before connecting the horizontal run of ventpipe to the vent termination, slide the Wall
Thimble (Part # 942) over the vent pipe.
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(32mm). Secure the connection between thevent pipe and the vent cap by attaching thetwo sheet metal strips extending from thevent cap assembly into the outer wall of thevent pipe. Use the two sheet metal screws
provided to connect the strips to the pipe
section. See Diagram 6.

position and sealed.
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 1-1/4"(32mm). Slip the
flashing under the shingles (shingles should
overlap half the flashing) as per Diagram 4.

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.
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.

A poor draft, or down drafting can result
from high wind conditions near big trees
or adjoining roof lines, in these cases,
increasing the vent height may solve theproblem.
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.

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).
N o t e : To m a k e
the installation
more aestheticallypleasing,
werecommend framingout a square to
mount the terminal
to.

Note: A 1-1/2"(38mm) clearance aroundthe liner must be maintained exceptthat only a 1" (25mm) clearance isneeded at the termination end. We
recommend framing a 10"(254mm) x10"(254mm) (inside dimensions) hole
to give structural rigidity for mounting
the termination.

8) Install the vertical termination cap by twistlocking it.

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.

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

2) Level the fireplace and fasten it to the framing
using nails or screws through the nailingstrips.

Offset Chart

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.
NOTE:

Horizontal sections must be
supported at intervals not exceeding
3 feet (0.9 meter). (Flame picture andperformance will be affected by sagsin the liner).

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".
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. (You may
wish to cut the liner shorter to make it moreworkable.) Do not bend liner more than90o.
7) Apply Mill Pac over the fireplace inner collar
and slip the 4"(100mm) liner down over it
and attach with 3 supplied screws.
8) Do the same with the 6-7/8"(175mm) 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.

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 toprevent accidental blockage of venting
system. When using snow blowers,
make sure snow is not directed towards
vent termination area.

GAS LINE
INSTALLATION
The gas line can be brought through either theright or the left side of the appliance. The gas
valve is situated on the right hand side of theunit and the gas inlet is on the right hand sideof the valve.
Note: If the gas line is being installed fromthe left side, be sure to leave room toaccommodate servicing of the fan.
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 so thatgas lines can be easily disconnected for burner
or fan servicing. Flare nuts for copper lines andflex connectors are usually considered to meetthis requirement.

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 hoseand tighten the screw (clockwise) with a1/8"(3mm) flat screwdriver. Note: Screw
should be snug, but do not overtighten.

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 (3.45 kPa).
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"(3mm) wide flat screwdriver.

FIRST FIRE
The first fire in your fireplace is part of thepaint curing process. To ensure that the paintis properly cured, it is recommended that you
burn your fireplace for at least four (4) hours thefirst time you use it with the fan on. When first
operated, the unit will release an odour causedby the curing of the paint, the burning 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 fora couple of hours.
The glass panel may require cleaning after theunit has cooled down.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE
GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.
Note: When the glass is cold and theappliance is lit, it may cause
condensation and fog the glass.

DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCEWITHOUT THE GLASS FRONT IN
PLACE.

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.

MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS

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.

1) Always turn off the gas valve before cleaning.
For relighting, refer to lighting instructions.
Keep the burner and control compartment
clean by brushing and vacuuming at least
once a year. When cleaning the logs, use asoft clean paint brush as the logs are fragileand easily damaged.

NORMAL OPERATINGSOUNDS OFGAS APPLIANCES

2) Clean appliance and door with a damp
cloth (never when unit is hot). Never usean abrasive cleaner. The glass should becleaned with a gas fireplace glass cleaner.
The glass should be cleaned when it
starts looking cloudy.

It is possible that you will hear some sounds
from your gas appliance. This is perfectly normal
due to the fact that there are various gauges
and types of 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.

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.

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 ofyour fan speed control.

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 an authorized service
person.

Burner Tray:
The burner tray is positioned directly under theburner tube and logs and is made of a different
gauge material from the rest of the firebox andbody. 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.

5) The appliance and venting system must be
inspected before use, and at least annually,by an authorized field service person, toensure that the flow of combustion andventilation air is not obstructed.

6) Verify proper operation after servicing.
Note:

Never operate the appliance without
the glass properly secured inplace.

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