VENTING
INTRODUCTION
The DV Stove Horizontal Vent Kit and the Simpson Dura-Vent Direct Vent System Model DV-GS venting systems, in combination with the Classic Direct Vent Freestanding Gas Stove, C34B-NG/C34G-NG and C34B-LP/C34G-LP, have been tested and listed as direct vent heater systems by Warnock Hersey.
If converting a Class-A Metal Chimney or Ma­sonry Chimney to a Direct Vent system, see instructions on pages 22 and 23.
The C34 uses the "balanced flue" technology Co-Axial system. The inner liner vents products of combustion to the outside while the outer pipe 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 con-
nected 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.
IMPORTANT
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 the venting and clearance to combustible require­ments. Consult your local building codes before beginning installation.
The location of the termination cap must con­form to the requirements in the Exterior Vent Terminal Locations diagram on page 10.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
These venting systems are engineered prod­ucts that have been designed and tested for use with the C34B-NG/C34G-NG and the C34B­LP/C34G-LP. The warranty will be voided and serious fire, health or other safety hazards may result from any of the following actions:
1) Installation of any damaged Direct Vent component
2) Unauthorized modification of the Direct Vent System
3) Installation of any component part not man­ufactured or approved by Simpson Dura­Vent or Fireplace Products International Ltd.
4) Installation other than as instructed by Simp­son Dura-Vent and Fireplace Products In­ternational Ltd.
Warning: Always maintain required clearances (air spaces) to nearby com­bustibles to prevent a fire hazard. Do not fill air spaces with insulation.
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 on page 10 and in your local building codes.
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 gas­burning appliance. Each direct vent gas
appliance must use it's own separate vent system. Common vent systems are prohibited.
SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS FOR

DV STOVE HORIZONTAL VENT KIT (#946-116 & #946-216) INSTALLATION
Review the following sequence of instructions which are typical of most installations. The sequence may vary depending on wall thick­ness.
Refer to pages 6 to 10 for vent location and clearance dimensions.
1) Set the unit in its desired location. Check to determine if wall studs will be in the way of the venting system, adjust location until all clearances are met and there are no ob­structions.
Note: A 1-1/2"(38mm) clearance around
the outer pipe must be maintained except that only a 1" (25mm) clear­ance is needed 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 to pre­vent accidental blockage of venting sys­tem. When using snow blowers, make
sure snow is not directed towards vent termination area.
2) Assemble a trial fit to determine the vertical center-line for the vent termina­tion.
a) Cut a 9-1/2" x 9-1/2" (241mm x 241
mm) square hole on both the interior and exterior wall.
b) Install wall thimbles on both interior
and exterior wall with 4 wood screws (#8 x 1") per thimble.
c) Attach the 2 piece adjustable pipe
section to the vent terminal and slide into position from the exterior. The
larger diameter end of the ad­justable pipe goes to the vent terminal.
d) Install the 90o elbow onto the adjust-
able pipe to determine the vertical centerline of the starter collar on the unit.
Note: if the centerline cannot be met, the adjustable sections will have to be cut.
Regency CLASSIC C34-2 Direct Vent Freestanding Gas Heater 15
INSTALLATION
e) Cut the 2 ft. or 4 ft. section of rigid pipe
to length. Ensure that the pipe length when cut will seat onto both the starter collar and the 90o elbow.
Crimped section of rigid pipe seats into the 90o elbow. Only cut the uncrimped side of pipe.
Dismantle all pipe sections including vent terminal.
3) Attach the 4" dia. flex liner to the vent terminal ensuring that the flex overlaps the collar of the vent terminal by a minimum of 1-3/8"(35mm). Use Mill-Pac to seal and se­cure with 3 of the #8 x 1/2" screws (stain­less steel).
4) Attach the adjustable pipe section to the vent terminal using Mill-Pac and/or high temperature silicone and attach with 3 of the #8 x 1/2" screws (stainless steel).
Hint: Apply the sealant (Mill-Pac and/or high temperature silicone) to the outer pipe before connecting the inner pipe.
Note: The pipe seam should be facing
down.
Note: To make the installation more aes-
thetically pleasing, we recom­mend framing out a square that the cap can be mounted on.
Note: If installing termination on a siding
covered wall, a vinyl siding stand­off or furring strips must be used to ensure that the termination is not recessed into the siding. For vinyl siding standoff installation refer to the Dura-Vent Termina­tion instructions.
5) Slide the partially connected pipe and vent terminal assembly through the wall thim­bles (from the exterior into the interior) and secure the cap to the exterior wall with 4 of the supplied screws (#8 x 1-1/2" drill point, stainless steel). Note: pilot holes will need to be drilled through the wall thimble on all 4 corners.
Note: The four screws provided for the
vent cap should be replaced with appropriate fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of sidings.
6) A bead of non-hardening mastic should be run around both the termination and vinyl siding standoff to prevent water from en­tering and to make a tight seal between the cap and the standoff.
7) Stretch the 4" dia. flex liner out fully and get a trial fit of the liner onto the 4" dia. starter collar.
8) Cut the 4" dia. flex liner to the desired size. Hint: leave an extra 12" to 16" of length, this
will make the final assembly easier to work with.
9) Secure the 4" dia. flex liner to the 4" adapter with Mill-Pac and 3 of the #8 x 1/2" screws (stainless steel).
10)Slide the decorative Thimble Cover over the pipe sections and secure with 4 screws (#8 x 1-1/2" drill point, black) to the wall.
Slide the trim collar over the adjustable pipe sections to cover the joint of the telescopic section.
11)Slide the 90o elbow (crimp end up) and the 2 ft. or 4 ft. pipe section (crimp end up) over the 4" dia. flex liner.
12)Install the spring spacers onto the pipe sections.
13)Secure the 4" dia. flex liner with adapter onto the stove collar. Put a bead of Mill-Pac around the appliance adapter and secure with 3 screws (#8 x 1/2, stainless steel).
14)Attach the pipe section onto the starter collar by sealing with Mill-Pac and/or high temperature silicone and securing with 3 of the #8 x 1/2" (black) screws. Pipe seams should be facing the wall.
15)Attach the 90o elbow onto the pipe section by sealing with Mill-Pac and/or high tem­perature silicone and securing with 3 of the #8 x 1/2" screws (black).
16)Slide the adjustable pipe section onto the 90o elbow. The flex may have to be com­pressed back in order for the adjustable pipe to properly mate to the elbow. Seal with Mill-Pac and/or high temperature sili­cone and secure with 3 of the #8 x 1/2" screws (black). Pipe seams facing down.
17)Install the trim collar over the starter collar and secure with a #8 x 1/2" screw (black).
If the pipe needs to be touched up, use only Stove Brite High Temperature Metallic Black Stove Paint.
NOTE: All inner joints must be sealed
with Mill-Pac. All outer joints may be sealed with high temperature silicone.

DURA-VENT
TERMINATION KIT
Planning Your Dura-Vent
Installation
There are two basic types of Dura-Vent Direct Vent System installations: horizontal termina­tion and vertical termination. Confirm the max­imum horizontal run and maximum vertical rise from the diagrams on page 13.
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.
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 and nearby combustible surfaces. 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 on page 10 and in your local building codes.
To determine the length of vent pipe required for vertical installations, measure the distance from the unit flue outlet to the ceiling, the ceiling thickness, 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 is needed, additional pipe, elbows and supports will be required.
Do not exceed the maximum number of elbows. One 90o for horizontal terminations and two 45 for vertical termination.
DURA-VENT VENTING COMPONENTS
The Simpson Dura-Vent Direct Vent System offers a complete line of component parts for installation of both horizontal and vertical installation. Many items are offered in decorative black, as well as galvanized finish. The galvanized pipe and fittings are used for concealed locations such as attics or where corrosion is a factor, such as above the roof line. Decorative brass trim kits are available for both wall thimbles and ceiling support boxes.

INSTALLATION
DURA-VENT
HORIZONTAL
INSTALLATIONS
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.
2) Direct Vent pipe and fittings are designed with special twist-lock connections to connect the venting system to the appliance flue outlet. A twist-lock appliance adaptor is installed on the unit at the factory. Assemble the desired combination of pipe and elbows to the appliance adaptor with pipe 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 and twist-locked for a solid connection.
3) With the pipe attached to the stove, slide the stove into its correct location, and mark the wall for a 10" x 10" (inside dimensions) square hole. The center of the square hole should line up with the center-line of the horizontal pipe, as shown in diagram 2. Cut and frame the 10 inch square hole in the exterior wall where the vent will be termi­nated. If the wall being penetrated is con­structed of non-combustible material, i.e. masonry block or concrete, a 7" diameter hole is acceptable.
*Diagram 3, 3a & 4: As specified in CGA B149 Instal­lation Code. Lo­cal codes or reg­ulations may re­quire different clearances.
Diagram 3
Note: Riser Vent is only for use in above grade terminations.
Note:
a) Twist-lock procedure: Four indenta-
tions, located on the female ends of pipes and fittings, are designed to slide straight onto the male ends of adjacent pipes and fittings, by orienting the four pipe indentations so they match and slide in to 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 by examining the inside of the female ends. Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to inner pipe and high temperature silicone sealant to outer pipe on every twist-lock joint.
Diagram 1
Hint: Apply silicone to female end.
b) Horizontal runs of vent must be sup-
ported every three feet. Wall straps are available for this purpose.
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 temper­atures and may present the possibil­ity of a fire.
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. For External Vent Termi­nal Locations, see diagram on page
10.
c) Snorkel Terminations:
For installations requiring a vertical rise on 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 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.

4) Attach the Vinyl Siding Standoff (if re-
quired) to the Horizontal Vent Termination, but first run a bead of non-hardening mastic around its outside edges, so as to make a seal between vent cap and the standoff. Install the Vinyl Siding Standoff (Part # 950) between the vent cap and the exterior wall and attach with the four wood screws provided. Seal around the Vinyl Siding Standoff on all four sides. Diagram 5. The
arrow on the vent cap should be point­ing up. Insure that the 1-1/4" clearances to
combustible materials are maintained. See diagram 5.

7) Install Wall Thimble in the center of the 10" square and attach with wood screws (in Canada).
8) Slide the decorative wall thimble up to the wall surface being careful not to scratch the paint and attach with screws provided. Apply decorative brass or chrome trim if desired. See diagram 7.
penetrate the roof. Determine if ceiling joists, roof rafters or other framing will obstruct the venting system. You may wish to relocate the appliance or to offset, as shown in dia­gram 9 to avoid cutting load bearing members.
3) To install the Round Support Box/Wall Thim­ble in a flat ceiling, cut a 10 inch square hole in the ceiling centered on the hole drilled in Step 2. Frame the hole as shown in diagram
10.
Diagram 9
Note: If installing termination on a siding
covered wall, a vinyl siding stand­off or furring strips must be used to ensure that the termination is not recessed into the siding. The four wood screws provided should be replaced with appropri­ate fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of sid­ings.
5) Before connecting the horizontal run of
vent pipe to the vent termination, slide the black decorative wall thimble cover over the vent pipe, then slide the Wall Thimble (Part # 942) over the vent pipe.
6) 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 a sufficient distance so as to result in a minimum pipe overlap of 1-1/4 inches. Secure the connection between the vent pipe and the vent cap by attaching the two sheet metal strips extending from the vent cap assembly into the outer wall of the vent 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.

VERTICAL
TERMINATION
1) Maintain the 1-1/4" clearanc-
es (air spaces) to combusti­bles when passing through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclo­sures, attic rafter, or other nearby combustible surfac­es.
Do not pack air spaces with
insulation. Check page 13 for the maximum vertical rise of the venting system and the maximum horizontal offset limitations.
2) Set the gas appliance in its desired location. Drop a plumb bob down from the ceiling to the position of the appliance flue exit, and mark the loca­tion where the vent will pen­etrate the ceiling. Drill a small hole at his point. Next, drop a plumb bob from the roof to the hole previously drilled in the ceiling, and mark the spot where the vent will

4) Assemble the desired lengths of black pipe and elbows necessary to reach from the appliance adaptor up though the Round Support Box. Ensure that all pipes and elbow connections are in the fully twist­locked 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 meet the minimum requirements for clearance to com­bustibles of 1-1/4". Slip the flashing under the shingles (shingles should overlap half the flashing) as per diagram 11.
Diagram 11: The upper half of the flashing is
installed 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 impor-

tant 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. 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 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 12 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 the problem.

7) Ensure vent is vertical and secure the base of the flashing to the roof with roofing rails, slide storm collar over the pipe section and seal with a mastic.
8) Install the vertical termination cap by twist locking it.
Notes:
a) For multistorey vertical installations, a
Ceiling Fire stop (Part# 963) is required at the second floor, and any subse­quent floor. See diagram 13. The open­ing should be framed to 10 " x 10" inside dimensions, in the same manner as shown in diagram 10.
b) Any occupied areas above the first
floor, including closets and storage spaces, through which the vertical vent passes, must be enclosed.

If your home has a cathedral ceiling (no attic space between the ceiling and the roof), install the chimney and support as follows.
1) Situate the chimney in a convenient location as near as possible to the appliance outlet. Cut and frame a hole in the roof for the support. The sides of this hole must be vertical with 1-1/4" clearance.
2) Place the support in the opening. Lower it to the correct height as determined by the table and diagram below.

Using a level, make sure the support is vertical. If the support extends above the roof, cut it flush with the top of the roof. Nail the support to the frame opening using (8) 3" spiral nails or #8 x 1-1/2" screws.
Note: If you are using a 6" square sup-
port you may find it difficult to screw it in place because it is fairly small inside.
Simpson Dura-Vent has provided angle brackets with this support which can be screwed to the outside of the support box and nailed to surrounding framing as re­quired. Use a minimum of four #8 x 1/2" screws per bracket. In some cases these brackets may need to be trimmed (e.g.: to fit under a flashing). Place the Finish Collar around the support and fasten it to the ceiling using the screws provided.
3) Use appropriate roof flashing. Place the flashing under the upper shingles and on top of the lower shingles approximately half of the flashing should be under the shin­gles.
4) Assemble the desired lengths of Black Pipe and Elbows necessary to reach from the appliance adaptor up through the support box and flashing to proper height as per Diagram 12, local codes or page 10. Ensure that all pipe and elbow connections are in their fully twist lock position.
5) Ensure vent is vertical and secure flashing to the roof with roofing nails. Slide the storm collar over the pipe section and seal with a mastic.
6) Twist lock the vent cap on to the last section.

A) Through an existing factory built metal chim-
ney going through the ceiling: A typical conversion 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 diameter aluminum flex pipe which is then passed down through the center of the existing metal chimney system. Three sizes of Top Adaptors are available from Simpson Dura­Vent. The Retro Connector (909B) is at­tached to the bottom of the flex pipe. The Top Adaptor and the Retro 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 and an adjustable length section.
B) Through the wall of an existing masonry
chimney: A typical conversion of an exist­ing masonry chimney is shown in Diagram
6. A Top Adaptor (985K) and Flashing are used at the top of the masonry chimney. The 4 inch aluminum liner is connected to the adaptor and is passed down the chimney and out through the masonry wall and attached to the Retro Connector (909B). The Retro Connector is attached to the masonry wall and then connected to the direct vent pipe leading to the appliance.
The direct vent system must not be connected to a damaged factory-built or masonry chimney.
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.
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 the appliance until the problem is corrected.
Appoved for US Installations Only The use of an existing chimney as an air intake is not covered under the ANSI Z21.88b-1999, CSA 2.33b-M99 test meth­ods and the resulting ITS/WHI product certification. The code Authority Having Jurisdiction must be consulted prior to proceeding with this installation meth­od.
Converting a Factory Built Metal
Chimney
1) Remove the existing chimney cap.
2) Measure the distance from the top end of the chimney 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).
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 center of the chimney system, and center the adaptor on the top of the chimney pipe. Drill four 1/8" diameter holes through the adap­tor and into the chimney top. Insure that you are in fact, drilling into the metal on the chimney. Twist-lock the Termination Cap (Part# 980 or 991) onto the Adaptor. (Dia­gram 3 and 4).
Diagram 3
Diagram 4
5) Pull the flex pipe down through the ceiling support box, until it protrudes approximate­ly 3" (76mm). Connect the flex pipe to the Retro Connector by slipping it into the 4-3/4" diameter sleeve on the top side of the Connector. Use 3 sheet metal screws to assemble these two parts.
6) Push the flex pipe back up into the ceiling support box, center the Retro Connector, and attach 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 pre-punched. Diagram 5.
Prior to installation and connection of the vent system to a factory-built or masonry chimney, the chimney must be inspected and thoroughly cleaned by a qualified service person, such as a certified chim­ney sweep or home inspection service.

INSTALLATION
7) The connection between the appliance and the Retro Connector may be completed with sections 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 the desired sections of black direct vent pipe to determine the center of the masonry pene­tration.
Flashing is larger than the top of the chim­ney, then cut and fold flashing as needed to fit chimney. Diagram 7.
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 distance from the center of the chimney to out through the wall. Cut a piece of 4" flex to this length (the flex should already be extended to its nominal length).
5) Connect the 4" flex liner to the Top Adaptor (Part # 985K) using 3 sheet metal screws. Diagram 2.
and the mounting holes line up with the masonry wall.
Diagram 9
9) Slide the Wall Thimble Cover (Part # 940) over the Retro Connector and secure with masonry bolts. Diagram 10. If you have a framed wall in front of the masonry, use wood screws to mount the Wall Thimble Cover to the framed wall, over the Retro Connector and the 10" (254mm) square framed opening. Diagram 11. If needed, add a section of direct vent pipe to the Retro Connector in order to extend through the opening in the Wall Thimble Cover.
Diagram 6
2) Once the center point of the penetration has been determined, cut a 6" (152mm) dia. hole in the masonry. Be careful, if the hole is too large, the Retro Connector might not mount properly, and if the hole is too small, then the appliance might starve for intake air. If there is a frame wall in front of the masonry wall, cut and frame a 10" (254mm) clear square opening in the wall (centered around the 6" (152mm) masonry opening). If there is sheet rock only (no studs) in front of the masonry, the 10" (254mm) clear opening is still need­ed, but does not need to be framed. This allows the Retro Connector to mount direct­ly on the masonry and provide clearance to the combustibles. Diagram 11.
3) Secure the Flashing (Part # 705C) to the top of the masonry chimney using a bead of non-hardening sealant-adhesive. IF the
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 (Part # 980 or 991) on to the Top Adaptor.
Diagram 8
8) Attach the flex to the Retro Connector. Use 3 sheet metal screws to attach the flex liner to the Connector. Diagram 9. Mount the Retro Connector to the masonry wall using masonry bolts. Re-drill larger holes on con­nector as needed. Be careful to insure that the connector is centered in the opening

This unit is approved in Canada for altitude 0 to 4500 ft. (CAN1 2.17-M90) with the orifice sup­plied.
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 (14" w.c.).
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" (# 7) and/or "OUT" (# 6)
pressure tap(s), turning counterclockwise with a 1/8" wide flat 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 specified on the safety label.
6) When finished reading manometer, turn off the gas valve, disconnect the hose and tighten the screw (clockwise) with a 1/8" flat screwdriver. Screw should be snug,
but do not over tighten.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERA TING
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Read and understand these instructions
before operating this appliance.
2) Check to see that all wiring is correct and enclosed to prevent possible shock.
3) Check to ensure there are no gas leaks.
4) Make sure the glass in the door frame is
properly positioned. Never operate the ap­pliance with the glass removed.
5) Verify that the venting is unobstructed.
6) Verify log placement. If the pilot cannot be
seen when lighting the unit - the logs have been incorrectly positioned.
7) The unit should never be turned off, and on again without a minimum of a 60 second wait for purging.
Note: Clean fingerprints off the gold
before lighting stove.
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 the pilot lights. After approximately one minute, re­lease the gas control knob. The pilot flame should continue to burn. If the pilot does not remain lit, repeat operation allowing a longer period before releasing gas control knob.
4) When the pilot stays lit, turn the gas knob further counterclockwise to the "ON" posi­tion.
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) to adjust the flame height higher or lower.
SHUTDOWN
PROCEDURE
1) Use the ON/OFF switch, wall switch, ther-
mostat or remote control to turn off the burner.
2) Push in the PILOT knob slightly and turn clockwise to off. Do not force.
3) Turn off all electric power to the appliance if service is to be performed.
FIRST FIRE
During the first few fires, a white film may develop on the glass front as part of the curing process. The glass should be cleaned or the film will bake on and become very difficult to re­move. Use a non-abrasive cleaner and NEVER clean the glass while it is hot.
PILOT ADJUSTMENT
Periodically check the pilot flames. Correct
flame pattern has three strong blue flames: 1 flowing around the thermopile, 1 around the thermocouple 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.
Top View of pilot flame
Incorrect flame pattern will have small, probably yellow flames, not coming into proper contact with the rear burner or thermopile or thermocouple.
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.
IMPORTANT: Gas cock knob cannot be turned from "PILOT" to "OFF" unless it is partially depressed.
1) Turn burner OFF using "ON/OFF" switch.
2) Turn gas control knob so indicator points to
"OFF" position and allow 5 minutes for any gas in the combustion chamber to escape.
The first fire in your stove is part of the paint curing process. To ensure that the paint is properly cured, it is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at least four (4) hours the first time you use it with the fan on. When first operated, the unit will release an odour caused by 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 a couple of hours.
The glass panel may require cleaning after the unit has cooled down. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.
Note: When the glass is cold and the
appliance is lit, it may cause con­densation and fog the glass. This condensation is normal and will disappear in a few minutes as the glass heats up.
DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCE WITHOUT THE GLASS FRONT IN PLACE.

MAINTENANCE
NORMAL OPERA TING
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 nor- mal 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. This sound will increase or decrease in volume depending on the speed setting of your fan speed control.
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 firebox 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 fireboxes.
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 flame 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.
THERMOPILE/
THERMOCOUPLE
1) Loosen the thermocouple or thermopile with
a 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 down from the bracket and pull it out of the unit.
4) Reinstall the new ones in reverse order.
MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Always turn off the gas valve before clean-
ing. 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 heater is finished in a heat resistant paint and 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 turn milky.
4) Make a periodic check of burner for proper position and condition. Visually check the flame of the burner periodically, making sure the 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 ensure that 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 rock wool.
6) Keep the area near the appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapours and liquids.
CAUTION: ANY SAFETY SCREEN OR GUARD REMOVED FOR SERVICING AN APPLIANCE MUST BE REPLACED PRIOR TO OPERATING THE AP­PLIANCE.
NEVER OPERATE THE APPLIANCE WITHOUT THE GLASS PROPERLY SECURED IN PLACE.
GENERAL VENT
MAINTENANCE
Conduct an inspection of the venting system semiannually. Recommended areas to inspect are:
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 flashlight down 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 the joints, 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 the system being ex­posed to cold weather.
4) Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe sections or fittings have been disturbed, and conse­quently loosened. Also check mechanical supports such as Wall Straps 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 to carefully remove the logs. The pilot light generates enough heat to burn someone. If for any reason a log should need replacement, use only Regency replace­ment logs. The position of these logs must be as shown in the diagram under Log Installation.
Note: Improper positioning of logs may
create carbon buildup and will al­ter the unit’s performance which is not covered under warranty.
