FRAMING AND FINISHING
1) Determine the total thickness of facing mate-
rial (e.g. drywall 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.
Install Side Nailing Strips, and Top Facing
Support before unit is slipped into position.
See page 10 for assembly details.

NOTE: If this is an outside corner, the minimum
distance between the vent and the outside
corner is 6" (15cm) with AstroCap termination
cap or 12" (30cm) with Dura-Vent termination cap.
6) Use steel studs for framing where the
1-1/2" (38mm) clearance from the vent
to combustible material cannot be maintained.
The HeatWave Duct Kit has different clear-
ance and framing requirements, check the
HeatWave manual for details.
NOTE: If this is an outside corner, the minimum
distance between the vent and the outside
corner is 6" (15cm) with AstroCap termination
cap or 12" (30cm) with Dura-Vent termination cap.
3) For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to
the same degree as the rest of the house,
apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per
local installation codes. (Do not insulate
the fi replace itself.)
4) The top of the unit must not be closer than
30" (762mm) to the ceiling.
5) Combustible material may be brought up to
the top and sides of the unit and be covered
with ceramic tiles, bricks, rock or other suit-
able combustible fi nishing materials.
Note: The unit does not have to be com-
pletely enclosed in a chase. The
clearance on top of the unit is 0" to
the standoffs so combustible building
materials can be laid directly on top
of the standoffs. You must maintain
1-1/2" (38mm) clearance from the

ing Strips
"C" Screw Position:
For a facing material
depth of 1-1/4"(32mm),
the top facing support
must be reversed.
2) Use the same screw hole position for the
Side Nailing Strips as was used for the Top
Facing Support. Attach each side nailing
strip using 3 screws.

The G33R-1 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.
There are 2 vent systems approved for use with
the G33R-1: the UltraGlow Direct Vent System
(Flex) for Horizontal Terminations only (see
pages 8 and 10), and the Simpson Dura-Vent
Systems for Horizontal and Vertical Terminations
(see pages 11-20).
Note: These fl ue 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.

with proper down slope for draining water.
Fasten the cap to the outer wall with the 4
supplied screws.
6) Pull the centre 4"(100mm) liner and outer
6-7/8"(175mm) liner out enough to slip over
the fl ue collars of the fi replace.
7) Apply Mill Pac over the fi replace inner collar
and slip the 4"(100mm) liner down over it
and attach with 3 supplied screws.
INSTALLATION
PROCEDURES
for UltraGlow Direct Vent
System (Flex)
1) Locate the unit in the framing, 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. Locate the centerline of
the termination and mark wall accordingly.
Cut a 10"(254mm) hole in the wall (inside
dimension).
*If this is an outside corner, the minimum distance
between the vent and the outside corner is 6"
(15cm) with AstroCap termination cap or 12"
(30cm) with Dura-Vent termination cap. See
"F" on the diagram on page 8.
Note: A 1-1/2"(38mm) clearance around
the liner must be maintained except
that only a 1" (25mm) clearance is
needed at the termination end. We
recommend framing a 10"(254mm) x
10"(254mm) (inside dimensions) hole
to give structural rigidity for mounting
the termination.
Note: If installing termination on a siding
covered wall, furring strips must be
used to ensure that the termination
is not recessed into the siding.
2) Level the fi replace and fasten it to the fram-
ing using nails or screws through the nailing
strips.
3) Assemble the vent assembly by applying
Mill Pac to the 4"(100mm) inner collar of the
termination and slipping the 4"(100mm) liner
over it at least 1-3/8" (35mm). Fasten with
the 3 screws (drilling pilot holes will make this
easier). Apply Mill Pac or high temperature
silicone to the 6-7/8"(175mm) fl ex pipe and
slip it over the 6-7/8" outer collar of the vent
terminal at least 1-3/8"(35mm) and fasten
with the 3 screws.
4) Separate the 2 halves of the wall thimble and
securely fasten the one with the tabs to the
outside wall making sure that the tabs are
on top and bottom. Fasten the other thimble
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. The liners must slip
over the collars a minimum of 1-3/8".
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
8) Do the same with the 6-7/8"(175mm) 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.
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.

Terminations
The Rigid Pipe Vent System offers a complete line of component parts for installation
of both horizontal and vertical installations.
Many items are offered in decorative black,
as well as galvanized fi nish. We recommend
using the galvanized fi nish for installation
with the G33R-1.
The minimum components required for a basic
horizontal termination are:
1 AstroCap Horizontal Termination Cap
1 90o Elbow
1 Rigid Pipe Adaptor
1 Wall Thimble
1 Length of pipe to suit wall thickness
(see chart)
Minimum and Maximum Vent Clearances
Note: To make the installation more
aesthetically pleasing,
we recommend framing
out a square to mount
the terminal to.
UltraGlow G33R-1 Zero Clearance Rear Vent Direct Vent Gas Fireplace
For siding other than vinyl furring strips may
be used, instead of the vinyl siding standoff,
to create a level surface to mount the vent
terminal. The Terminal must not be recessed
into siding.
If a Vinyl Siding Standoff is required (it must be
used with vinyl siding), measure to outside surface of wall without siding and add 2 inches.

INSTALLATION
HORIZONTAL
INSTALLATIONS
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 an available option that must be used in
conjunction with the Simpson Dura-Vent
Direct Vent GS system.
3) Put a bead of silicone inside the outer
section of the adapter and a bead of Stove
Mate on the inner collar. Slip the adapter
over the existing inner and outer fl ue collar
and fasten to the outer collar only with the
3 supplied screws (drilling pilot holes will
make this easier). Level the fi replace and
fasten it to the framing using nails or screws
through the nailing strips.
4) Assemble the desired combination of pipe
and elbows to the appliance adaptor and
twist-lock for a solid connection.
Note:
a) Twist-lock procedure: Four indentations,
located on the female ends of pipes and
fi ttings, are designed to slide straight
onto the male ends of adjacent pipes
and fi ttings, 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 fi ttings. They may be
located by examining the inside of the
female ends.
Note: Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to inner pipe
Diagram 1
and high temperature silicone sealant to outer pipe on every twist-lock
joint.
b) Horizontal runs of vent must be sup-
ported every three feet. Wall straps are
available for this purpose.
5) Mark the wall for a 10" x 10" square hole.
The center of the square hole should line
up with the centerline of the horizontal pipe.
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"(178mm)
diameter (7-1/2"(191mm) dia. for fl ex) hole
is acceptable. See Horizontal Termination
diagram on page 13.
Note: With Dura-Vent, the minimum height
is achieved by installing a 90
directly to the rigid pipe adaptor.
Note:
a) The horizontal run of vent must be level,
or have a
1/4 inch rise for every 1 foot of run to-
wards 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 termi-
nation 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 9.
c)Snorkel Terminations:For installations requiring a vertical rise
on the exterior of the building, 14-inch
and 36-inch tall Snorkel Terminations
and the Riser Vent as shown in Diagram 2 & 2a are available. Follow the
same installation procedures as used
for standard Horizontal Termination.
NEVER install the snorkel upside
down.
Diagram 2
*As specifi ed in CGA B149 Installation Code.
Local codes or regulations may require different
clearances.

Diagram 2a
Below Grade Snorkel 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 Dura-Vent Installation instructions
for details. Do not attempt to enclose the
Snorkel within the wall, or any other type
of enclosure.
6) The arrow on the vent cap should be
pointing up. Insure that the 1-1/2" clear-
ances to combustible materials are maintained (Diagram 3). Install the termination
cap.
Diagram 3
The four wood screws provided should
be replaced with appropriate fasteners for
stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of
sidings.
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.
7) Before connecting the horizontal run of vent
pipe to the vent termination, slide the Wall
Thimble (Part # 620-926) over the vent
pipe.
8) Slide the appliance and vent assembly
towards the wall carefully inserting the
18

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.
Secure the connection between the vent pipe
and the vent cap 3 sheet metal screws.
9) Install wall thimble in the center of the 10"
square and attach with wood screws (Diagram 4).
Diagram 4
VERTICAL
TERMINATION
1) Maintain the 1-1/2" clearances (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 pages
12-13 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 fl ue 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 penetrate the roof.
3) A Firestop spacer must be installed in the
fl oor or ceiling of every level. To install the
Firestop spacer in a fl at ceiling or wall, cut
a 10 inch square hole. Frame the hole as
shown in Diagram 2 and install the fi restop.
Diagram 1
4) Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and
elbows. Ensure that all pipes and elbow
connections are in the fully twist-locked
position and sealed.
Note: Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to inner pipe
and high temperature silicone sealant to outer pipe on every twist-lock
joint.
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 Diagram 4 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.

Note: Any closets or storage spaces, which
the vent passes through must be
enclosed.
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.

GAS LINE
INSTALLATION
The gas line can be brought through either the
right or the left 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.
Note: If the gas line is being installed from
the left side, be sure to leave room to
accommodate servicing of the fan.
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.

INSTALLATION
WIRING DIAGRAM
This heater does not require a 120V A.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. A terminal block
is provided on the left hand side of the unit. A
three wire power cord can also be used and
plugged into a suitable receptacle.
(Do not cut the ground terminal off under
any circumstances.)
NOTE: Even if the fan is not purchased
with the unit, it is still a good idea to
hardwire the terminal block in case
the fan is installed at a later date. **
However DO NOT leave this connection
live until the fan is installed.**
CAUTION: Label all wires prior
to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can
cause improper and dangerous
operation.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING
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 and cap are unob-
structed.
6) Ensure that the brick panels are installed.
7) Verify log placement. If the pilot cannot be
seen when lighting the unit, the logs have
been incorrectly positioned.
8) The unit should never be turned off, and on
again without a minimum of a 60 second
wait.
2) Turn gas control knob so indicator points
to "OFF" position and allow 5 minutes for
any gas in the combustion chamber to
escape.
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 fl ame 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 wall switch, thermostat or remote
control to turn on the unit.
6) Rotate the fl ame height regulator to adjust
the fl ame height higher or lower.
SHUTDOWN
PROCEDURE
1) Use the wall switch, thermostat or remote
control to turn off the main burner.
2) Turn the main gas control clockwise to the
"OFF" position to turn off the pilot.
3) Turn off all electric power to appliance if
service is to be performed.
DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCE
WITHOUT THE GLASS FRONT IN
PLACE.
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 or
the fi lm will bake on and become very diffi cult
to remove. Use a non-abrasive cleaner and
NEVER clean the glass while it is hot.
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.
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.
LIGHTING
PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT
To ignite or reignite the pilot,
you must fi rst release the ten-
sion springs below the door.
Only when the pilot holds, without pressure
being applied to the control knob, reapply the
tension springs to the door. The unit must not be operated with the tension springs
unattached.
IMPORTANT: Gas cock knob cannot be
turned from "PILOT" to "OFF" unless it is
partially depressed.
1) Turn burner OFF using "ON/OFF" switch.
FIRST FIRE
The fi rst fi re 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
fi replace for at least four (4) hours the fi rst time
you use it with the fan on.
When fi rst 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 appli-
ance 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.
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.

AERATION
ADJUSTMENT
The air shutter can be adjusted by moving the
adjusting wire up or down. The wire is accessed
through the bottom louver opening. Open the
air shutter for a blue fl ame or close for a yellower fl ame. The burner aeration is factory set
but may need adjusting due to either the local
gas supply or altitude.
Minimum Air Shutter Opening:
3/16" Natural Gas
1/4" Propane
CAUTION: Carbon will be produced
if air shutter is closed too much.
Closed - Tall yellow
28
Open - Short blue
Note: Any damage due to carboning result-
ing from improperly setting the aeration controls is NOT covered under
warranty.
Note: Aeration Adjustment should only be
performed by an authorized Regency
Installer at the time of installation or
service.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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. UltraGlow 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) Verify operation after servicing.
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 Log Installation diagrams.
Note: Improper positioning of logs may cre-
ate carbon build-up and will severely
alter the unit's performance which is
not covered under warranty.
THERMOPILE/
THERMOCOUPLE
1) Open the bottom louvers.
2) Loosen the thermocouple or thermopile with
a 7/16" wrench.
3) Disconnect thermocouple by loosening nut
from the valve with a 9mm wrench. Disconnect thermopile by loosening 2 screws
marked TP on the valve.
4) Drop the thermocouple or thermopile down
from the bracket and pull it out of the unit.
5) Reinstall the new ones in reverse order.
DOOR GLASS
Your UltraGlow stove is supplied with high temperature, 5 mm tempered glass. If your glass
requires cleaning, we recommend using an approved glass cleaner available at all authorized
dealers. Do not use abrasive materials. Do not
clean the glass when hot.
In the event that you break your glass by impact,
purchase your replacement from an authorized
UltraGlow dealer only, and follow our step-bystep instructions for replacement.
WARNING: Do not operate the appliance with the glass panels removed,
cracked or broken. Replacement of
the glass panels should be done
by a licensed or qualifi ed service
person.
Caution: Wear gloves when removing damaged or broken glass.
General Vent Maintenance
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.
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 condensa-
tion, such as water droplets forming in the
inner liner, and subsequently dripping out the
UltraGlow G33R-1 Zero Clearance Rear Vent Direct Vent Gas Fireplace
GLASS GASKET
If the glass gasket requires replacement use
5/8" fl at glass gasket for the Bay Front (Part
# 936-243) and a tadpole glass gasket for the
Flush Front (Part # 936-155).
Flush Glass Replacement
Remove the fl ush door front (as per instructions
