distance is correct if the two clearances
do not coincide. For example, if the appliance
is set as indicated in one of the diagrams 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.

everything required for a straight through the
wall installation, or add a 45
installation.
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
fluing and clearance to combustible requirements on pages 6 to 9. 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 on page 7.

PRECAUTIONS
The Regency Room Sealed System and the
Vertical Termination with the Co-linear Flex
System are engineered products that have
been designed and tested for use with the
FG37-NG, and FG37-LPG. The Regency 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 Room Sealed
component
2) Unauthorized modification of the Room
Sealed System
3) Installation of any component part not manufactured or approved by Regency Industries Ltd.
4) Installation other than as instructed by Regency Industries Ltd.
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 requirements between
the outer wall of the flue pipe and nearby
combustible surfaces is 30mm. Be sure to
check the flue termination clearance requirements from decks, windows, soffits, gas regulators, air supply inlets and public walkways
as specified on page 7 and in your local building
codes.
The gas appliance and flue system
must be flued directly to the outside
of the building, and never be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance.
Each Room Sealed gas appliance must use its
own separate flue system. Common flue 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.
PLANNING YOUR FLUING INSTALLATION
See page 7 for Exterior Flue Termination
requirements.
When planning your installation, it will be necessary to select the proper length of flue pipe
for your particular requirements. Determine the
minimum clearance to combustibles from the
rear of the unit to the wall. It is also important to
note the wall thickness. Before cutting the flue
hole through the wall ensure that ALL flue and
termination clearances (see page 7) will be met.
NOTE: Ensure compliance with the outside
flue terminal location before cutting hole as
both dimensions must be met.
*If this is an outside corner, the minimum distance between the flue and the outside corner
is 12" (30cm). See "F" on the diagram on page 7.
For corner installation, Restrictor must
be set at 1-1/4" (32mm) open.
For straight rear installation, Restrictor must be set at 1-1/8" (29mm) open.

HORIZONTAL INSTALLATIONS
1) Set the unit in its desired location. Check to
determine if wall studs are in the way when
the fluing system is attached. If this is the
case, you may want to adjust the location
of the unit.
2) Assemble the desired combination of pipe
and elbow to the appliance adapter with
pipe seams oriented down. Offset the pipe
seams as double seams in one place will
cause the outer pipe to take an oval shape.
Kit comes complete with 18" (457mm) of
straight flue - 6-5/8" (168mm) dia. black
outer pipe and 4" (102mm) dia. inner flue.
3) With the pipe attached to the stove, slide the
stove into its correct location, and mark the
wall for a 9-1/2" (241mm) (inside dimensions) round hole. The center of the round
hole should line up with the centerline of the
horizontal pipe, as shown in diagram 1. Cut
and frame the 9-1/2 (241mm) round hole in
the exterior wall where the flue will be
terminated. If the wall being penetrated is
constructed of non-combustible material,
i.e. masonry block or concrete, a 7" (178mm)
diameter hole is acceptable.
Note:
a) The horizontal run of flue should have
a 1/4 inch (6mm) rise for every 1 foot
(305mm) of run towards the termination. Never allow the flue to run downward. This could cause high temperatures and may present the possibility of
a fire.
b) The location of the horizontal flue termi-
nation on an exterior wall must meet all
local and national building codes, and
must not be blocked or obstructed. For
External Flue Terminal Locations, see
diagram on page 7.
Diagram 1
c) Snorkel Terminations:
For installations requiring a vertical rise
on the exterior of the building, Astro
Riser Vent Terminations as shown in
Dia. 2 is available. Follow the same
installation procedures as used for
standard Horizontal Termination.
NEVER install the Astro Riser vent upside down.
Diagram 2
*Dia 2: Local codes or regulations may require
different clearances.
