These drawings are to scale at 1:6 (one inch = 6 inches) Mantel can be installed anywhere in shaded area or higher using

the above scale.

Note: Ensure the paint that is used on the mantel and the

FRAMING AND FINISHING

INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT FINISHING DETAIL NOTE:

When installing tile, carpeting, or any other

ﬁ nishing material in front of the unit, the top of the surface of the tile, carpeting, etc. must not be any higher than the base of the ﬁ replace. Any higher and the optional accessories will not ﬁ t (i.e. ﬁ nishing trim, surrounds, etc.)

Floor Finishing Material

NOTE: Floor Finishing Material

must not be any higher than the

base of the ﬁ replace.

1) Determine the total thickness of facing material (e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to allow the ﬁ nished surface to be ﬂ ush with the front of the unit. Total facing thickness can vary from 1/2" (13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm) thick.

2) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing material. The framed opening is 36-1/4" high x 36-1/4" wide x 12-3/4" deep (921mm high x 921mm wide x 324mm deep).

Note: Header must be installed vertically. If

Header is installed horizontally, it must be steel.

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 ﬁ replace itself.)

4) The top of the unit must not be closer than

32" (813mm) to the ceiling.

Note: 40-1/2" (1029mm) is the minimum

height for both ﬂ ex termination or rigid pipe venting.

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 1-1/2" (38mm) clearance from the vent to combustible materials for ﬂ ex (1-1/4" for Rigid Pipe).

5) Use steel studs for framing where the 1-

1/2" (38mm) clearance from the vent to combustible material cannot be maintained, e.g. front top header.

REGENCY® TRIPOLI SCREEN DOOR SERIES FRAMING NOTE

When installing the optional Tripoli Screen Door Series, a non-combustible material 12" (305mm) above the unit and 6" (153mm) on each side must be used (see Diagram 2). For complete framing details see page 57.

The Tripoli Screen Door Series also requires steel stud framing above and on each side of the unit (refer to Diagram 2).

Nailing Strips

UNIT ASSEMBLY

PRIOR TO

INSTALLATION

The T op Facing Support, the Side Nailing Strips and the 2 Top Standoffs must be correctly positioned and attached to the top before unit is slipped into position.

Top Standoff Assembly

The top standoffs are shipped in a ﬂ at position and must be folded into shape and attached.

1) Remove the standoffs from the ﬁ replace top.

2) T ake each standoff and bend into the correct shape. Bend up at the bend lines until the screw holes in the standoff and the prepunched screw holes on the ﬁ replace top line up.

3) Attach the standoff securely to the top with 2 screws per standoff (on opposite corners).

Top Facing Support &

Side Nailing Strips

Determine the total thickness of facing material (e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to allow the ﬁ nished surface to be ﬂ ush with the front of the unit. Total facing thickness can vary from 1/2" (13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm) thick.

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

Screw

Position A 1/2" / 13mm B 7/8" / 22mm

C* 1-1/4" / 32mm

* For "C" screw position the top facing support is reversed.

1) Mount Top Facing Support using the

3 supplied screws into the three prepunched screw holes on the top front of the unit. Use hole positions A, B, or C depending on your facing depth.

Facing Material

Depth

"C" Screw Position:

For a facing material depth of 1-1/4" (32mm), the top facing support must be reversed.

2) Fold out the two nailing strips on each side.

VENTING

INTRODUCTION

The P36-1 uses the "balanced ﬂ ue" 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.

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.
