Regency® CLASSIC C34-3 Direct Vent Freestanding Gas Stove

INSTALLATIONVENTINGINTRODUCTION
The DV Stove Horizontal Vent Kit and the Simpson Dura-Vent Direct Vent venting systems,
in combination with the Classic Direct Vent
Freestanding Gas Stove, C34-NG and C34-LP,
have been tested and listed as direct vent heatersystems by Warnock Hersey.
If converting a Class-A Metal Chimney or
Masonry Chimney to a Direct Vent system,
see instructions in "Converting Class-A Metal
Chimney or Masonry Chimney to Dreict Vent
System" section.
The C34 uses the "balanced flue" technology
Co-Axial system. The inner liner vents productsof combustion to the outside while the outer pipe
draws outside combustion air into the combustion chamber thereby eliminating the need touse 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 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.

INSTALLATIONPRECAUTIONS
These venting systems are engineered productsthat have been designed and tested for use
with the C34-NG and the C34-LP. The warranty
will be voided and serious fire, health or othersafety hazards may result from any of the following actions:1) Installation of any damaged Direct Vent
component

Vent restriction is required for certain venting
installations, see the diagrams in "Venting
Arrangment" section to determine if they are
required for your installation.
The vent restrictor has three settings: "C"
Center (factory setting), "L" Left, and "R" Right.
Simply loosen the screws and push the vent
restrictor plate to the correct position. Tighten
the screws.

2) Unauthorized modification of the Direct Vent
System3) Installation of any component part not manufactured or approved by Simpson Dura-Vent
or Fireplace Products International Ltd.
4) Installation other than as instructed by
Simpson Dura-Vent and Fireplace ProductsInternational Ltd.

Warning: Always maintain required
clearances (air spaces) to nearby combustibles to prevent a fire hazard. Do
not fill air spaces with insulation.

IMPORTANT

Be sure to check the vent termination clearance
requirements from decks, windows, soffits,
gas regulators, air supply inlets and public
walkways as specified in the "Exterior Vent
Terminal Locations" section and in your local
building codes.

Read all instructions carefully before starting
the installation. Failure to follow these instructions may create a fire or other safety hazard,
and will void the warranty. Be sure to check theventing and clearance to combustible requirements. Consult your local building codes before
beginning installation.

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 ventsystems are prohibited.

The location of the termination cap must conformto the requirements in the Exterior Vent Terminal
Locations diagram in "Exterior Vent Terminal
Locations" section.

Review the following sequence of instructions
which are typical of most installations. The
sequence may vary depending on wall thickness.
See "Locating Your Gas Stove" to "Exterior
Vent Terimnal Locations" sections for ventlocation and clearance dimensions.
1) Set the unit in its desired location. Checkto determine if wall studs will be in the wayof the venting system, adjust location until
all clearances are met and there are no
obstructions.
Note: A 1-1/2"(38mm) clearance around theouter pipe must be maintained exceptthat only a 1" (25mm) clearance isneeded at the termination end.

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

INSTALLATION
DURA-VENTTERMINATION KIT
Planning Your Dura-Vent
Installation
There are two basic types of Dura-Vent Direct
Vent System installations: horizontal terminationand vertical termination. Confirm the maximum
horizontal run and maximum vertical rise from thediagrams in "Venting Arrangments" section.
When planning your installation, it will be necessary to select the proper length of vent pipe
for your particular requirements. For horizontal
installations, determine the minimum clearance
from the rear of the unit to the wall. It is also
important to note the wall thickness. (The wall
thimble is suitable for 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 wall construction.) Select the amount of vertical rise desired
for "vertical-to-horizontal" type installations.

If installing termination on a siding covered wall,a vinyl siding standoff or furring strips can beused in order to ensure that the termination is
not recessed into siding.
The vinyl siding standoff is required for wallswith vinyl siding.

Basic
Horizontal Kit
1 90o Elbow
1 Wall Thimble Cover
1 Horiz. Sq. Term. Cap

Warning: Always maintain required
clearances (air spaces) to nearby combustibles to prevent a fire hazard. Do
not fill air spaces with insulation.
The minimum clearance of 1-1/4" (32mm) is required between the outer wall of the vent pipe andnearby combustible surfaces. Be sure to checkthe vent termination clearance requirementsfrom decks, windows, soffits, gas regulators, air
supply inlets and public walkways as specified
in the "Exterior Vent Terminal Locations" section
and in your local building codes.
To determine the length of vent pipe requiredfor vertical installations, measure the distancefrom the unit flue outlet to the ceiling, the ceilingthickness, the vertical rise in an attic or second
storey, and allow for sufficient vertical height
above the roof line.
For multi-storey applications, fire stops are
required at each floor level. If an offset isneeded, additional pipe, elbows and supports
will be required.
You will require the following Dura-Vent venting
components with your new CLASSIC Direct
Vent Freestanding Gas Stove. Please review
your product to make sure you have everything
you need. In the event that you are missing any
part, contact your dealer.
Note: These are the minimum components
required. Other parts may be requiredfor your particular installation. See"Rigid Pipe Venting Components

DURA-VENTHORIZONTALINSTALLATIONS
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.

3) With the pipe attached to the stove, slide
the stove into its correct location, and markthe wall for a 10" x 10" (inside dimensions)square hole. The center of the square holeshould line up with the center-line of thehorizontal pipe, as shown in diagram 2.
Cut and frame the 10 inch square holein 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" diameterhole is acceptable.

2) Direct Vent pipe and fittings
are designed with special
twist-lock connections toconnect the venting system
to the appliance flue outlet. A
twist-lock appliance adaptor
is installed on the unit at thefactory. Assemble thedesired combination ofpipe and elbows to theappliance adaptor withpipe seams oriented
towards the wall or ceiling, as much out of view as possible. The
final positioning of the pipe and 90o elbow
assembly is determined by the mounting
orientation of the adaptor on the stove andtwist-locked 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 be located byexamining the inside of the female ends.
Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to inner pipeand high temperature silicone sealant
to outer pipe on every twist-lock joint.

Diagram 1
Hint: Apply silicone to female end.

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

Diagram 3
Note: Riser Vent isonly for use in above
grade terminations.

Diagram 2
Note:a) The horizontal run of vent must be
level, or have a 1/4 inch rise for every
1 foot of run towards the termination.
Never allow the vent to run downward.
This could cause high temperaturesand 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. See diagram 10 in"External 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
as shown in Diagram 3 are available,
as well as the standard Riser Vent, see
Diagram 3a. Follow the same installation procedures as used for standard
Horizontal Termination. NEVER install
the snorkel upside down.

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 waterfrom entering the Snorkel Termination. Refer
to Diagram 4. Do not attempt to enclose theSnorkel within
the wall, or any
other type of enclosure.

5) Before connecting the horizontal run of ventpipe to the vent termination, slide the black
decorative wall thimble cover over the ventpipe, then slide the Wall Thimble over thevent pipe.
6) 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
the vent cap a sufficient distance so as toresult in a minimum pipe overlap of 1-1/4
inches. 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. Bend any remaining portion of the
sheet metal strip back towards the vent cap,
so it will be concealed by the decorative wall
thimble cover. See diagram 6.

and possible separation. Wall straps
are available for this purpose. See
diagram 9.
Galvanized pipe and elbows may be utilized
in the attic as well as above the roofline.
The galvanized finish is desirable above theroofline due to its higher corrosion resistance.
Continue to add pipe sections through the
flashing until the height of the vent cap meetsthe minimum height requirements specified
in diagram 12 or local codes. Note that forsteep 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 thesecases, increasing the vent height may solve
the problem.

Support extensions - Round(RDSE) or square (SQSE)

The direct vent system must not be connected to a damaged factory-built or masonry chimney.

Steep pitched cathedral ceilings may require
the use of a support extension. This piece fits
down inside the support and can be adjusted toincrease the support's length by up to 22". The
extension is attached to the support using theeight metal screws provided. Be sure there is
at lease a 2 inch overlap where the extension
joins the support.

For factory built, zero clearance, and masonry chimneys cleanout doors and caps
or plugs for cleanout tee fittings and ash
dumps shall be secured in place and sealed
before installing a Direct Vent system within
the chimney.

CONVERTING
CLASS-A METALCHIMNEY OR
MASONRY CHIMNEY TO
DIRECT VENT SYSTEM
GeneralThere are two different types of direct ventconversion systems listed below. Follow theappropriate directions for your installation.
A) Through an existing factory built metalchimney going through the ceiling: A typicalconversion of this type is shown in diagram
1. The concept of direct vent conversion is
to connect an adaptor to an Underwriters
Laboratories (UL) listed 4 inch diameteraluminum flex pipe which is then passed
down through the center of the existing metalchimney system. Three sizes of Top Adaptors
are available from Simpson Dura-Vent. The
Retro Connector is attached to the bottomof the flex pipe. The Top Adaptor and theRetro Connector are attached to the existing chimney with sheet metal screws. The
appliance is then connected to the chimney
with appropriate black direct vent pipe andan adjustable length section.

If the appliance shuts off during operation,
contact a qualified service person to determine if a negative pressure and/or leaky
chimney condition exists. Do not operate theappliance until the problem is corrected.
Appoved for US Installations Only
The use of an existing chimney as an
air intake is not covered under theANSI
Z21.88a-2007 / CSA 2.33a-2007 test methods
and the resulting ITS/WHI product certification. The code Authority Having Jurisdiction
must be consulted prior to proceeding withthis installation method.

3) Connect the end of
the flex pipe section
to the underside of
the Top Adaptor using
3 sheet metal screws.
Diagram 2.

Diagram 2
4) Pass the flex pipe down through the centerof the chimney system, and center theadaptor on the top of the chimney pipe.
Drill four 1/8" diameter holes through theadaptor and into the chimney top. Insurethat you are in fact, drilling into the metalon the chimney. Twist-lock the Termination
Cap onto the Adaptor. (Diagram 3 and 4).

Converting a Factory Built Metal
Chimney
1) Remove the existing chimney cap.
Diagram 3

2) Measure the distance from the top end of thechimney to the bottom of the ceiling support
box, add 3" (76mm) to this measurement,
and cut a section of the 4" flex pipe to that
length (the flex should already be extended
to its nominal length).

Diagram 4
5) Pull the flex pipe down through the ceilingsupport box, until it protrudes approximately
3" (76mm). Connect the flex pipe to the Retro
Connector by slipping it into the4-3/4" diameter sleeve on the top side of
the Connector. Use 3 sheet metal screws
to assemble these two parts.

B) Through the wall of an existing masonrychimney: A typical conversion of an existing masonry chimney is shown in Diagram
6. A Top Adaptor and Flashing are used at
the top of the masonry chimney. The 4 inchaluminum liner is connected to the adaptor
and is passed down the chimney and out
through the masonry wall and attached to
the Retro Connector . The Retro Connector
is attached to the masonry wall and thenconnected to the direct vent pipe leading to
the appliance.

6) Push the flex pipe back up into the ceilingsupport box, center the Retro Connector, andattach it to the support box, or decorative
sleeve for double wall solid packed pipe,with the sheet metal screws (supplied).
The holes in the Retro Connector are prepunched. Diagram 5.

Prior to installation and connection of thevent system to a factory-built or masonrychimney, the chimney must be inspected andthoroughly cleaned by a qualified service
person, such as a certified chimney sweep
or home inspection service.

7) The connection between the appliance andthe Retro Connector may be completed withsections of black direct vent pipe, together
with an adjustable length.

Converting a Masonry Chimney
Important: The existing masonry flue opening needs to have an area of at least a 36 sq.
in. to insure proper intake/exhaust flow.
1) Before cutting any holes, assemble thedesired sections of black direct vent pipe
to determine the center of the masonry
penetration.
Diagram 7
4) To determine the length of flex required,measure from 3" (76mm) above the top of
the Flashing down to the level of the opening. Add to this measurement the distancefrom the center of the chimney to out throughthe wall. Cut a piece of 4" flex to this length(the flex should already be extended to its
nominal length).

Diagram 9
9) Slide the Wall Thimble Cover over the Retro
Connector and secure with masonry bolts.
Diagram 10. If you have a framed wall infront of the masonry, use wood screws tomount the Wall Thimble Cover to the framedwall, over the Retro Connector and the 10"(254mm) square framed opening. Diagram
11. If needed, add a section of direct ventpipe to the Retro Connector in order to extend
through the opening in the Wall Thimble
Cover.

5) Connect the 4" flex liner to the Top Adaptor
using 3 sheet metal screws. Diagram 2.
6) Feed the 4" flex liner through the Flashing into
the chimney. Continue to feed the liner out
through the opening in the masonry wall.
7) Secure the Top Adaptor to the Flashing. Use
3 sheet metal screws through the side of
the adaptor into the flange on the Flashing(diagram 8). Twist lock the Termination Cap
on to the Top Adaptor.
8) Attach the flex to the Retro Connector. Use

Diagram 10

Diagram 62) Once the center point of the penetration has
been determined, cut a 6" (152mm) dia. holein the masonry. Be careful, if the hole is toolarge, the Retro Connector might not mountproperly, and if the hole is too small, thenthe appliance might starve for intake air. If
there is a frame wall in front of the masonrywall, cut and frame a 10" (254mm) clear
square opening in the wall (centered aroundthe 6" (152mm) masonry opening). If thereis sheet rock only (no studs) in front of themasonry, the 10" (254mm) clear opening is
still needed, but does not need to be framed.
This allows the Retro Connector to mountdirectly on the masonry and provide clearance to the combustibles. Diagram 11.
3) Secure the Flashing to the top of the masonrychimney using a bead of non-hardening
sealant-adhesive. IF the Flashing is larger
than the top of the chimney, then cut and foldflashing as needed to fit chimney. Diagram

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 at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig. (3.45
kPa). Disconnect piping from valve at pressuresover 1/2 psig (14" w.c.).
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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSOPERATING
INSTRUCTIONSIMPORTANT: Gas on/off knob cannot be
turned from "PILOT" to "OFF" unless it ispartially depressed.

1) Read and understand these instructions
before operating this appliance.

1) Turn burner OFF using "ON/OFF" switch.

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 door frame isproperly positioned. Never operate the appliance with the glass removed.
5) Verify that the venting is unobstructed.
6) Verify log placement. If the pilot cannot beseen when lighting the unit - the logs havebeen incorrectly positioned.
7) The unit should never be turned off, and on
again without a minimum of a 60 second
wait for purging.

Note: When the glass is cold and the appliance is lit, it may cause condensationand fog the glass. This condensation
is normal and will disappear in a few
minutes as the glass heats up.

2) Turn gas control knob so indicator points to"OFF" position and allow 5 minutes for any
gas in the combustion chamber to escape.

DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCEWITHOUT THE GLASS FRONT IN
PLACE.

3) Turn gas control knob counterclockwise
so indicator points to the "PILOT" position.
Depress the gas control knob fully. Depress
the igniter button several times until thepilot lights. After approximately one minute,release the gas control knob. The pilot flame
should continue to burn. If the pilot does notremain lit, repeat operation allowing a longer
period before releasing gas control knob.

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.

4) When the pilot stays lit, turn the gas knob
further counterclockwise to the "ON" position.

PILOT ADJUSTMENT

5) Use the ON/OFF switch, wall switch, thermostat or remote control to turn on the unit.
6) Rotate the flame height regulator (Hi/Lo) toadjust the flame height higher or lower.

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

SHUTDOWNPROCEDURE
1) Use the ON/OFF switch, wall switch, thermostat or remote control to turn off theburner.
2) Push in the PILOT knob slightly and turnclockwise to off. Do not force.

LIGHTING
PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT
To ignite or reignite the pilot,
remove one glass panel/door.

Only when the pilot holds, without pressure
being applied to the control knob, resecure
the glass panel to the unit. The unit must not
be operated with the glass removed.

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

FIRST FIRE
The first fire in your stove is part of the paintcuring process. To ensure that the paint isproperly 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 for acouple of hours.

Top View of pilot flame
Incorrect flame pattern will have small, probably yellow flames, not coming into proper
contact with the rear burner or thermopileor thermocouple.

INSTALLATIONNORMAL OPERATINGSOUNDS OFGAS APPLIANCES
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.
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.
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
and body. 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.
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.
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.

THERMOPILE /THERMOCOUPLE
1) Loosen the thermocouple or thermopile witha 7/16" wrench at bracket.
2) Disconnect thermocouple by loosening nut
from the valve with a 9mm wrench. Disconnect thermopile by loosening 2 screws
marked TP on the valve.
3) Drop the thermocouple or thermopile downfrom the bracket and pull it out of the unit.
4) Reinstall the new ones in reverse order.

MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONSNEVER OPERATE THE APPLIANCEWITHOUT THE GLASS PROPERLYSECURED IN PLACE.

GENERAL VENTMAINTENANCE
Conduct an inspection of the venting systemsemiannually. Recommended areas to inspect
are: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 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 usean abrasive cleaner.
The heater is finished in a heat resistant paintand should only be refinished with heat resistant paint. Regency® uses Stove Brite Paint- Metallic Black #6309.
3) The glass should be cleaned with a gas
fireplace glass cleaner when it starts to turnmilky.
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.
During the annual service call, the burners
should be removed from the burner tray
and cleaned. Replace the embers and rockwool.
6) Keep the area near the appliance clear andfree from combustible materials, gasoline
and other flammable vapours and liquids.

36

CAUTION:ANY SAFETY SCREEN OR GUARDREMOVED FOR SERVICING AN
APPLIANCE MUST BE REPLACEDPRIOR TO OPERATING THE APPLIANCE.

1) Check areas of the Venting System which
are exposed to the elements, for corrosion.
These will appear as rust spots or streaks,
and in extreme cases, holes. These components should be replaced immediately.
2) Remove the Cap, and shine a flashlightdown the Vent. Remove any birds nests,
or other foreign material.
3) Check for evidence of excessive condensation, such as water droplets forming in the
inner liner, and subsequently dripping out thejoints, Continuous condensation can cause
corrosion of caps, pipe, and fittings. It may
be caused by having excessive lateral runs,
too many elbows, and exterior portions of thesystem being exposed to cold weather.
4) Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe sections
or fittings have been disturbed, and consequently loosened. Also check mechanicalsupports such as Wall Straps 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 to carefully remove the logs.
The pilot light generates enough heat to burnsomeone. If for any reason a log should needreplacement, use only Regency® replacement
logs. The position of these logs must be as shownin the diagram under Log Installation.
Note: Improper positioning of logs may
create carbon buildup and will alter
the unit’s performance which is notcovered under warranty.
