fi ring rate (rate noted on label) after burning
appliance for 15 minutes.
2) If required, adjusting the primary air to ensure
that the fl ame does not carbon. First allow
the unit to burn for 15-20 min. to stabilize.
CAUTION: Any alteration to the product that
causes sooting or carboning that results
in damage is not the responsibility of the
manufacturer.
CLEARANCES TO
COMBUSTIBLES
The clearances listed are MINIMUM distances.
Measure the clearance to both the appliance
and the chimney connector. The farthest
distance is correct if the two clearances do
not coincide.
For example, if the appliance is set as indicated
in one of the fi gures but the connector is too
close, move the stove until the correct clearance
to the connector is obtained.
This appliance may be installed only with the
clearances as shown in the situations pictured.
Do not combine clearances from one type of
installation with another in order to achieve
closer clearances.
This unit can be installed on a solid combustible
surface like a wood fl oor. This unit can also be
installed directly on carpeting or vinyl when
the bottom pedestal cover plate (provided with
unit) is installed.
Use the minimum clearances shown in the
diagrams below:

FLUEING
INTRODUCTION
The DV Stove Horizontal Flue Kit and the
Simpson Dura-Flue Room Sealed System
Model DV-GS fl ueing systems, in combination
with the Regency® Room Sealed Freestanding
Gas Stove, F39-NG, and F39-LPG, have been
tested and listed as direct fl ue heater systems
by AGA.
These units use the "balanced fl ue" technology
Co-Axial system. The inner liner fl ues 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 fl ue pipes must not be con-
nected to any other appliance.
The gas appliance and fl ue system must be
fl ueed 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 fl ue gas appliance must use it's own
separate fl ue system. Common fl ue systems
are prohibited.
IMPORTANT
Read all instructions carefully before starting the
installation. Failure to follow these instructions
may create a fi re or other safety hazard, and will
void the warranty. Be sure to check the fl uing
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 Flue
Terminal Locations diagram, refer to "Exterior
Flue Termination Location" section.
4) Installation other than as instructed by
Simpson Dura-Flue and Fireplace Products
International Ltd.
Warning: Always maintain required
clearances (air spaces) to nearby
combustibles to prevent a fire
hazard. Do not fi ll air spaces with
insulation.
Be sure to check the fl ue termination clearance
requirements from decks, windows, soffi ts,
gas regulators, air supply inlets and public
walkways as specifi ed in the Exterior Flue
Terminal Locations on page 8 and in your local
building codes.
The gas appliance and fl ue system must be
fl ueed 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 fl ue gas appliance must use
it's own separate fl ue system. Common fl ue
systems are prohibited.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
FOR THE INSTALLER
1) Wear gloves and safety glasses for
protection.
2) Exercise extreme caution when using
ladders or on roof tops.
3) Be aware of electrical wiring locations
in walls and ceilings.

Review the following sequence of instructions
which are typical of most installations. The
sequence may vary depending on wall thickness. Refer to fl ue location, see "Exterior
Flue Termination Location" section. and
clearance dimensions, see to "Clearances
to Combustibles" section.
1) Set the unit in its desired location. Check
to determine if wall studs will be in the way
of the fl uing 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 fl ue termination area after
snow falls, and clear to prevent accidental
blockage of fl uing system. When using
Note:
a) Liner sections should be continuous
without any joints or seams.

components in this system must not be
substituted for any other manufacturer's
products.
c) Wall Thimble is required when installing
through a combustible wall.

towards fl ue termination area.
2) Assemble a trial fi t to determine the verti-
cal center-line for the fl ue termination.
a) Cut a 241mm round hole on both the
interior and exterior wall.
b) Attach the 2 ft. pipe section to the fl ue
terminal and slide into position from
the exterior. The larger diameter end
of the adjustable pipe goes to the
fl ue terminal.
c) Install the 90o elbow onto the adjust-
able pipe to determine the vertical
centerline of the starter collar on the
unit.
