GAS CONNECTION

Only persons licensed to work with gas piping may make the necessary gas connections to this appliance.

Thegasconnectionisa3/8"NPTaccessibleon the left side of the unit. 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 additionallocalcodesitisalwaysbesttoconsult 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 approvedﬁ ttings.Alwaysprovideaunionsothat gas lines can be easily disconnected for burner or fan 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.

For minimum and maximum supply pressure see the System Data table.

2)Theapplianceisprovidedwithanopeningon thelefthandsideofthecontrolcompartment for the gas line.

Note: During any pressure testing of the gas supplypipingsystemthatexceedstestpressures of 1/2 psig, this appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the piping system. If test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig are used then this appliance must be isolated from the piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during the testing

CAUTION: If the glass is removed for servicing, it must be replaced prior to operating the appliance. The glass must be fixed in the closed position when operating.

WIRING DIAGRAM FOR THE E21-NG1 AND E21-LP1

Thisheaterdoesnotrequirea120VA.C.supply for operation. In case of a power failure, the burner switch and the optional remote control/ thermostat will continue to operate. However, a 120V A.C. power supply is needed for the fan/blower operation.

Caution: Ensure that the wires do not touch any hot surfaces and are away from sharp edges.

When connected with 120 volts, the appliance must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local

codes the current CSA C22.1 (in Canada) or with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70-1987 (in USA).

NOTE: This unit is equipped with a heat sensor thermodisc which will prevent the blower from operating until the unit reaches the correct temperature.

CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.

WARNING: Electrical Grounding

Instructions

This appliance is equipped with a three pronged (grounding) plug for yourprotectionagainstshockhazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.

OFFSET FLUE

ADAPTOR

A Offset Flue Adaptor Kit, Part #532-920 is available as an accessory to move the ﬂ ue outlet back for easier liner installations in deep ﬁ replaces

VENTING

THE APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE CONNECTED TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING A SEPARATE SOLID FUEL BURNING APPLIANCE.

This appliance is designed to attach to a 4" diameter type B-Vent or double thickness approved aluminium ﬂ ex liner

The ﬂ ue collar of the appliance will ﬁ t inside a standard vent and may be fastened directly to the vent by sheet metal screw or a B-Vent, single wall vent connector

B-Vent chimneys require a 1" clearance to combustibles

A3"diametertypeB-Ventorapprovedaluminium ﬂ ex liner may also be used with a 4" to 3" reducing adapter. Consult venting charts and local code requirements

TheRegencyInsertincorporatesitsowninternal draft hood, so no additional external draft hood is required. Check periodically that the vent is unrestricted and an adequate draft is present when the unit is in operation

Beforeinstallingtheventsystemensurethatthe damper plate is locked into the open position and secure to prevent the damper plate from falling down and crushing the liner

The appliance is equipped with a vent safety shutoff system and a safety control system designed to protect against improper venting of combustion products. The appliance will not function without being connected to a proper system

WARNING:Operationofthisheater when not connected to a properly installed and maintained venting system or tampering with the vent shut-offsystemcanresultincarbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible death.

This appliance must not be connected to a chimney ﬂ ue serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance

For best venting performance, we recommend the following venting rules:

1)Use only certiﬁ ed Type B gas vent or approved ﬂ ex liner

2)Follow the vent manufacturer's instructions and clearance requirements

3)Observe any local code restrictions, if any, regarding the installation of gas inserts.

4)Use as few elbows as possible.

5)Keephorizontallengthsasshortaspossible and maintain at least an upward slope of 1/4 in. (6.4mm) for every 12 in. (305mm) of horizontal run

6)Terminate the vent with a suitable certiﬁ ed vent cap

COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR

WARNING: This appliance needs fresh air for safe operation and must be installed with provisions for adequate combustion and ventilation air available to the room in which it is to be operating.

Follow CAN/CGA B149 (in Canada) or ANSI Z223.1 (in the USA) requirements, and any local codes or regulations of the enforcing authority

Air for combustion is drawn in through the front of the unit, therefore, the front of the unit must be kept clear of any obstructions

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). Disconnectpipingfromvalveatpressures over 1/2 psig

Themanifoldpressureiscontrolledbyaregulator builtintothegascontrol,andshouldbechecked at the pressure test point

Note: Toproperlycheckgaspressure,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. Read manometer

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
