FINISHING
IMPORTANT FINISHING DETAIL NOTE:
Before placing unit into fi nal position - it is important to know the total
thickness / height of fi nished hearth (tile, carpet, etc.) The base of the fi replace should be level or higher than the fi nished hearth height.
Diagram 1
Note: All facing material should butt up cleanly to the fl anges
around the fi rebox opening.
Rough edges will be visible from the front view with the fl ush
louvers or fl ush panels - if not using the fi nishing trim.
To maintain a clean fi nished edge - it is recommended to install
the drywall or other facing material with the fi nished edge against
the fi replace / nailing strips.
Alternatively, you can use J Style Trim or Metal Corner Bead
to cover cut edges of the facing material.
Important:
Finishing materials such as tile, river rock, etc, must not protrude
beyond the front facing fl anges the sides and top of the fi rebox
opening.
Full Screen Doors Only:
If fi nishing with any material thicker than 1-1/4" - a 3/4" gap must
be maintained between the full screen doors and the fi nishing
material.
This gap is necessary to facilitate the installation and removal of
the full screen doors.

the screw holes in the standoff and the pre-punched 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).
Determine the total thickness of facing material (e.g. drywall or wood 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.
Screw Facing Material
The Top Facing Support can be mounted in
3 different positions depending on the
thickness of the facing material.

VENTING
INTRODUCTION
The B36X 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 fl ue 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.

UNIT INSTALLATION
WITH HORIZONTAL
TERMINATION USING
5" X 8" VENTING
(Rigid Vent Systems)
Note: 5" x 8" venting is limited to vent
confi gurations found on page 17 of this manual.
A top clearance of 2"(51mm) and side &
bottom clearance of 1-1/2"(38mm) must be
maintained; except when passing through a
wall, ceiling, or at the termination where the
use of a fi restop or wall thimble reduces the
required clearance to 1-1/2" (38mm). We recommend framing a 11"(279mm) x 11"(279mm)
(inside dimensions) hole to give structural
rigidity for mounting the termination.
Install the vent system according to the
manufacturer's instructions included with the
components.
1) Set the unit in its desired location. Check to
determine if wall studs or roof rafters are in
the way when the venting system is attached.
If this is the case, you may want to adjust
the location of the unit. Rough in the gas
preferably on the right side of the unit and
the electrical (junction block is on the left
side) on the left.
2) Direct Vent pipe and fi ttings are designed with
special twist-lock connections to connect the
venting system to the appliance fl ue outlet.
A twist-lock appliance adaptor is required.
3) In conjunction with the Simpson Direct Vent
Pro system, install the adaptor after the unit is
set in its desired location. Put a bead of high
temperature silicone inside the outer section
of the adapter and a bead of Mill Pack on the
inner collar. Slip the adapter over the existing
inner and outer fl ue collar. Fasten to the outer
collar only with the 3 supplied screws (drilling
pilot holes will make this easier).
4) Level the fi replace and fasten it to the framing
using nails or screws through the top and
side nailing strips.
5) Assemble the desired combination of pipe
and elbows to the appliance adaptor and
twist-lock for a solid connection.
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 not
covered under warranty. Silicone (red
RTV) is optional.
Horizontal runs of vent must be supported
every 3 feet (0.9meter). Wall straps are
available for this purpose.
6) Mark the wall for a 11" x 11" (279mm x
279mm) square hole. The center of the
square hole should line up with the centerline of the horizontal pipe. Cut and frame the
11 inch (279mm) square hole in the exterior
wall where the vent will be terminated. See
diagram 2 for center line requirements.
Diagram 2
If the wall being penetrated is constructed of
non-combustible material, i.e. masonry block
or concrete, an 8" (203mm) diameter hole
is acceptable.
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 temperatures and may
present the possibility of a fi re.
b) The location of the horizontal vent
termination on an exterior wall must meet
all local and national building codes, and
must not be blocked or obstructed. See
"Exterior Vent Termination Locations"
section for more details.
7) Ensure that the pipe clearances to
combustible materials are maintained
(Diagram 5). Install the termination cap.
Note: If installing termination on a vinyl
siding covered wall, a vinyl siding
standoff or furring strips must be used
to ensure that the termination is not
recessed into the siding.
Diagram 5
The four wood screws provided should be re-
placed with appropriate fasteners for stucco,
brick, concrete, or other types of sidings.
8) Before connecting the horizontal run of vent
pipe to the vent termination, slide the Wall
Thimble over the vent pipe. The wall thimble
is required for all horizontal terminations.
9) Slide the appliance and vent assembly
towards the wall carefully inserting the vent
pipe into the vent cap assembly. It is important
that the vent pipe extends into the vent cap
suffi cient distance so as to result in a minimum
pipe overlap of 1-1/4 inches (32mm). Secure
the connection between the vent pipe and
the vent cap.
10) Install wall thimble in the center of the 11"
(279mm) square and attach with wood screws
(Diagram 7).

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.
5) Slip the assembled liner and termination
assembly through the thimble making sure
the 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 5"(127mm) liner and outer
8"(203mm) liner out enough to slip over the
fl ue collars of the fi replace. (You may wish to
cut the liner shorter to make it more workable.)
Do not bend liner more than 90o. The liners
must slip over the collars a minimum of
1-3/8".
7) Apply Mill Pac over the fi replace inner collar
and slip the 5"(127mm) liner down over it and
attach with 3 supplied screws.
8) Do the same with the 8"(203mm) liner.
9) Apply a bead of silicone between the thimble
and termination and around the outer edge
of the terminal at the wall in order to keep
the water out.

covered under warranty. Silicone (red RTV)
is optional.
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 suffi cient size to meet
the minimum requirements for clearance
to combustibles of 1-1/2". Slip the fl ashing
under the shingles (shingles should overlap
half the fl ashing) as per Diagram 3.
Diagram 3: The upper half of the fl ashing is
installed under the roofi ng 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 important to
support the vent pipe every 3 feet, to
avoid excessive stress on the elbows,
and possible separation. Wall straps
are available for this purpose.
Galvanized pipe is desirable above the roofl ine
due to its higher corrosion resistance. Continue
to add pipe sections through the fl ashing until
the height of the vent cap meets the minimum
height requirements specifi ed in Dia. 4 o r 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 the problem.
7) Ensure vent is vertical and secure the base
of the fl ashing to the roof with roofi ng rails,
slide storm collar over the pipe section and
seal with a mastic.
8) Install the vertical termination cap by twist-
locking it.

enclosed.
GAS LINE
INSTALLATION
The gas line is brought through the right side
of the appliance. The gas valve is situated on
the right 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 fl ex
connector. (If you are using rigid pipe, ensure
that the valve can be removed for servicing.)
Since some municipalities have additional
local codes it is always 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 fl ex connectors use only
approved fi ttings. Always provide a union so
that gas lines can be easily disconnected for
servicing. Flare nuts for copper lines and fl ex
connectors are usually considered to meet
this requirement.
Important: Always check for gas leaks
with a soap and water solution or gas leak
detector. Do not use open fl ame for leak
testing.

PILOT ADJUSTMENT
Periodically check the pilot fl ames. Correct fl ame pattern has three strong blue fl ames:
1 fl owing around the thermopile, 1 around
the thermocouple and 1 fl owing across the
burner (it does not have to be touching the
burner).
Note: If you have an incorrect fl ame
pattern, contact your FPI dealer for further
instructions.
Incorrect fl ame pattern will have small,
probably yellow fl ames, not coming into
proper contact with the rear burner or
thermopile or thermocouple.

GAS PIPE PRESSURE
TESTING
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
pressures over 1/2 psig.
The manifold pressure is controlled by a
regulator built into the gas control, and should
be checked at 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" pressure
tap(s), turning counterclockwise with a
1/8" wide fl at screwdriver.
3) Attach manometer to "IN" and/or "OUT"
pressure tap(s) using a 5/16" ID hose.
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 specifi ed on the safety
label.
6) When fi nished reading manometer, turn
off the gas valve, disconnect the hose and
tighten the screw (clockwise) with a 1/8"
fl at screwdriver. Note: Screw should be
snug, but do not over tighten.

must fi rst remove the glass door.
NOTE: The Gas ON/OFF knob cannot be
turned from "ON", "PILOT" or "OFF" unless
it is partially depressed.
1) Ensure the wall mounted switch or remote
is in the "OFF" position.
2) Turn the gas control knob so the indicator
points to the "OFF" position and wait 5 minutes for any gas in the combustion chamber
to escape.
3) Turn the gas control knob counterclockwise
so the indicator points to the "PILOT" position.
Depress the gas control knob fully. Depress
the igniter button until the pilot lights. After
approximately one minute, release the gas
control knob. The pilot fl ame should continue
to burn.
Only when the pilot holds, without pressure
being applied to the gas control knob, re-install
the glass door to the unit. The unit must not
be operated without the glass door in place.
If the pilot does not remain lit, repeat opera-
tion allowing a longer period before releasing
gas control knob.
4) When the pilot stays lit, turn the gas control
knob to the "ON" position.
5) Use the wall switch or remote control to turn
the unit ON.
NOTE: When using the remote control refer to
the remote manual.
*Propane Units Equipped with DC Spark Box.
NOTE: If there is no spark present at the pilot
when depressed, the AA battery may
be weak. Refer to "DC Spark Battery
Replacement" section.
NORMAL OPERATING
SOUNDS OF GAS
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" sound
when ON.
Burner Tray:
The burner tray is positioned directly under the
burner tube(s) and logs and is made of a different
gauge material from the rest of the fi rebox and
body. 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 these
sounds will likely re-occur. Again, this is normal
for steel fi reboxes.
Blower Thermodisc:
When this thermally activated switch turns ON
it will create a small "clicking" sound. This is the
switch contacts closing and is normal.
Pilot Flame:
While the pilot fl ame is on it can make a very
slight "whisper" sound.
Gas Control Valve:
As the gas control valve turns ON and OFF, a
dull 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 be
heard throughout the cycling process.
During the fi rst few fi res, a white fi lm
may develop on the glass front as part of
the curing process. The glass should be
cleaned after the unit has cooled down
or the fi lm will bake on and become very
diffi cult to remove. Use a non-abrasive
cleaner and DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN
THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.
54
SHUTDOWN
PROCEDURE
1) Turn the wall mounted switch or remote to
the "OFF" position.
2) Press "OFF" on the remote control.
3) Turn the gas control knob to the "OFF" posi-
tion to turn off the pilot.

MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
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 use
an abrasive cleaner. The glass should be
cleaned with a gas fi replace glass cleaner.
The glass should be cleaned when it
starts looking cloudy.
3) The heater is fi nished in a heat resistant
paint and should only be refi nished with heat
resistant paint. Regency® uses StoveBright
Paint - Metallic Black #6309.
4) Make a periodic check of burner for proper
position and condition. Visually check the
fl ame of the burner periodically, making sure
the fl ames are steady; not lifting or fl oating.
If there is a problem, call a qualifi ed service
person.
5) The appliance and venting system must be
inspected before use, and at least annually,
by a qualifi ed fi eld service person, to ensure
that the fl ow of combustion and ventilation
air is not obstructed.
Note: Never operate the appliance without
the glass properly secured in place.
6) Do not use this appliance if any part has been
under water. Immediately call a qualifi ed
service technician to inspect the appliance
and to replace nay part of the control system
and any gas control which has been under
water.
7) In the event this appliance has been
serviced check that the vent-air system
has been properly resealed & reinstalled
in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
8) Verify operation after servicing.
General Vent Maintenance
2) Remove the Cap, and shine a fl ashlight
down the Vent. Remove any bird nests, or
other foreign material.
3) Check for evidences of excessive
condensation, such as water droplets forming
in the inner liner, and subsequently dripping
out the joints, Continuous condensation can
cause corrosion of caps, pipe, and fi ttings.
It may be caused by having excessive
lateral runs, too many elbows, and exterior
portions of the system being exposed to
cold weather.
4) Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe
sections or fi ttings have been disturbed,
and consequently loosened. Also check
mechanical supports such as Wall Straps,
or plumbers' tape for rigidity.
LOG REPLACEMENT
The unit should never be used with broken logs.
Turn off the gas valve and allow the unit to cool
before opening door and carefully remove the
logs. (The pilot light generates enough heat to
burn someone.) If for any reason a log should
need replacement, you must use the proper
replacement log. The position of these logs
must be as shown in the diagrams under Log
Installation.
Note: Improper positioning of logs may
create carbon build-up and will
severely alter the unit's performance
which is not covered under
warranty.
THERMOPILE /
THERMOCOUPLE
1) Open the Bottom Louvers or Grills. Remove
the Top Louver or Grill.
2) Remove the Trim Kit, Glass Door, Log
Set, Grate and Burner Assembly (see the
"Log Installation" & "Glass Door Removal"
sections).
3) Disconnect thermocouple by loosening
nut from the valve with a 9mm wrench.
Disconnect thermopile by loosening 2
screws marked TP on the valve.
GLASS GASKET
If the glass gasket requires replacement use a
tadpole glass gasket (Part # 936-155).
DOOR GLASS
Your Regency® fireplace is supplied with
high temperature 5mm-Tempered glass. If
your glass requires cleaning, we recommend
using an approved glass cleaner available at
all authorized dealers. Do not use abrasive
materials.
CAUTION & WARNINGS:
* Do not clean when the glass is hot.
* The use of substitute glass will void all
product warranties.
* Care must be taken to avoid breakage of
the glass.
* Do not strike or abuse the glass.
* Do not operate this fi replace without the
glass front or with a cracked or broken
glass front.
* Wear gloves when removing damaged or
broken glass.
* Replacement of the glass panels should be
done by a licensed or qualifi ed service per
son.
GLASS REPLACEMENT
In the event that you break your glass by
impact, purchase your replacement from an
authorized Regency dealer only. Replacement
glass (Part # 940-358/P) is shipped already
installed into the door frame. Reinstall as per
Glass Door Installation in the "Glass Door
Removal" section.
Conduct an inspection of the venting system
semi-annually. Recommended areas to inspect
as follows:
1) Check the Venting System for corrosion in
areas that are exposed to the elements.
These will appear as rust spots or
streaks, and in extreme cases, holes.
These components should be replaced
immediately.

4) Remove 2 screws from the pilot assembly
and pull up far enough to be able to loosen
the thermocouple or thermopile with a 7/16"
wrench. NOTE: the pilot line is very fragile,
use caution when pulling it up.
5) Drop the thermocouple or thermopile down
through the extrusion and pull it out of the
unit.
6) Reinstall the new ones in reverse order.
