1) Determine the total thickness of facing material (e.g. drywall, wood plus
ceramic tiles) to allow the finished surface to be flush with the front of the
unit. Total facing thickness can vary from 1/2" (13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm)
NOTE: Facing material may not protrude beyond unit, otherwise the
tional accesories will not be able to be mounted to the unit.
4) 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
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 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 the
vent to combustible material cannot be maintained.

3) For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to the same degree as the rest
of 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.
If the Contemporary Faceplate is used on the P33-NG4/P33-LP4
Gas Fireplace, the burner orifice (Both NG/LP supplied in this
package) must be replaced and an overlay decal (also supplied with
kit) must be affixed to the current serial number decal
supplied with unit.
Note: Also see framing dimensions for this optional front if installed
on the P33-4 unit.

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).
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).
This venting system, in combination with the P33-4 Direct Vent Gas Fireplace, have been tested and listed as a direct vent heater system by Warnock Hersey/
Intertek. The location of the termination cap must conform to the requirements in the "Exterior Vent Terminal Locations" Section .
Regency® Direct Vent Flex Termination Kit (Part # 946-513) includes all the parts needed to install the P33-4 with a maximum run of 2 feet. If installing the P33 with a continuous vent length of more than 2 ft (.6m) to a maximum of 10 ft. (3.0m) use Kit # 946-515 (4 ft) or 946-516 (10 ft) or see "Rigid Pipe
