COMBUSTIBLE MANTELS

Because of the extreme heat this fireplace emits, the mantel clearanc­es are critical. Combustible mantel clearances from top of unit are shown in

Diagram to the right.

Note: A non-combustible mantel may be installed at a lower height if

the framing is made of metal studs covered with a non­combustible board.

This drawing is to scale at 1:6 (one inch = 6 inches)
Mantel can be installed anywhere in shaded area or higher using this scale.

Caution: Ensure the paint that is used on the mantel and the facing is

"heat resistant" or the paint may discolour.

INSTALLATION

FRAMING AND FINISHING

1) For ease of installation, frame your fireplace after it is positioned and
the vent system is installed. Remember to install the top standoffs.
See page 11 for assembly. Use 2x4's and frame to local building
codes.

CAUTION: Verify your fireplace dimensions, framing methods
and finished wall facing details before framing. Determine the
total thickness of facing material - drywall plus ceramic tiles,
slate, etc. Allow the finish surface to be flush with the front or
side of the unit. Total facing thickness can vary from 1/2"
(13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm) thick.

2) When locating your appliance on an exterior wall or in a chase, apply
a vapour barrier and drywall, as per local building codes. DO NOT

INSULATE THE FIREPLACE ITSELF.

CAUTION: The unit does not have to be completely 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 clearance from the vent to
combustible materials for both rigid and flex, see Vent Clear­ances, page 9.

FACING & FINISHING REQUIREMENTS

This fireplace is supplied with a 3" metal extension trim above the fireplace. The extension trim may be replaced if the framing is faced with a non­combustible material placed flush with the front and side face of the unit and extending from the top of the unit. (ie. tile, slate, etc.)

UNIT ASSEMBLY

PRIOR TO

INSTALLATION

The 4 Top Standoffs must be correctly positioned and attached to the top before unit is slipped
into position.

Top Standoff Assembly

The top standoffs are shipped in a flat position and must be folded into shape and attached.

1) Remove the standoffs from the fireplace
top.

2) Take each standoff and bend into the
correct shape. Bend up at the bend lines
until the screw holes in the standoff and the
pre-punched screw holes on the fireplace
top line up.

3) Attach the standoff securely to the top with
4 screws per standoff (on opposite cor­ners).

VENTING

INTRODUCTION

The P121-1/P121LC-1/P121RC-1/P131-1 uses
the "balanced flue" 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.

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.

SIMPSON DURA-VENT VENTING

Horizontal or Vertical Terminations

The Simpson Dura-Vent Direct 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 finish. We recommend using the galvanized finish for installation with the P121­1/P121LC-1/P121RC-1/P131-1.

The minimum components required for a
basic horizontal termination are:

1 Simpson Duravent Adaptor
1 Horizontal Termination Cap

o

145

Elbow
1 Flue Adaptor
1 Wall Thimble
1 Length of pipe to suit wall thickness

(see chart)

Wall thickness is measured from the back
standoffs to the inside mounting surface of
termination cap. For siding other than vinyl
furring strips may be used, instead of the

Flat Wall Installation

vinyl siding standoff, to
create a level surface to
mount the vent terminal.
The Terminal must not be
recessed into siding. Meas­ure the wall thickness in­cluding furring strips.

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.

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 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 Mill Pac on the
inner collar. Slip the adapter over the exist­ing inner and outer flue collar and fasten to
the outer collar only with the 3 supplied
screws (drilling pilot holes will make this
easier). Level the fireplace 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
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, Dia-

gram 1. Push the pipe sections com­pletely together, then twist-lock one
section clockwise approximately one­quarter 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.

Diagram 1

Note: Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to inner

pipe 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)
dia. (7-1/2"(191mm) dia. for flex) hole is
acceptable.

Note: With Dura-Vent, the minimum height
is achieved by installing a 45o elbow di­rectly to the flue adaptor.

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 ter-

mination 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 12.

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 on page 16). Install the
termination cap.

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

INSTALLATION

Diagram 3

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 # 942) over the vent pipe.

8) 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 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. See Diagram 4.

9) Install wall thimble in the center of the 10"
square and attach with wood screws (Di­agram 5).

VERTICAL

TERMINATION

1) Maintain the 1-1/4" 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 17-19 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 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 2 to avoid
cutting load
bearing mem­bers.

Diagram 1

Diagram 2

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.

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 4.

Diagram 4: 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 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 (Diagram 2).

Galvanized pipe 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 5 or local codes. Note that for steep

Note: Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to inner

pipe and high temperature sili­cone sealant to outer pipe on eve­ry twist-lock joint.

3) A Firestop spacer must be installed in the

floor or ceiling of every level. To install the
Firestop spacer in a flat ceiling or wall, cut
a 10 inch square hole. Frame the hole as
shown in Diagram 3 and install the firestop.

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 twist­locking it.

Note: Any closets or storage spaces,

which the vent passes through
must be enclosed.

be used to ensure that the termi­nation is not recessed into the
siding.

2) Level the fireplace and fasten it to the

framing 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) flex 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.

NOTE: Horizontal sections must be sup-

ported at intervals not exceeding 3
feet (0.9 meter). (Flame picture and
performance will be affected by
sags in the liner).

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
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 flue collars of the fireplace. (You may
wish to cut the liner shorter to make it more
workable.) Do not bend liner more than 45o.

7) Apply Mill Pac over the fireplace inner collar
and slip the 4"(100mm) liner down over it
and attach with 3 supplied screws.

8) Do the same with the 6-7/8"(175mm) liner.

9) Apply a bead of silicone between the thim-

ble 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.

1) Locate the unit in the framing, rough in the

gas. Locate the centerline of the termina­tion and mark wall accordingly. Cut a
10"(254mm) hole in the wall (inside dimen­sion).

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

For USA installations follow local codes and/or
the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1.

When using copper or flex connectors use only
approved fittings. Always provide a union so
that gas lines can be easily disconnected for
servicing. Flare nuts for copper lines and flex
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 flame for
leak testing.

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 pat-

tern, contact your Regency dealer
for further instructions.

Incorrect flame pattern will have small,
probably yellow flames, not coming into
proper contact with the rear burner or
thermopile or thermocouple.

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" and/or "OUT" 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

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 unob­structed.

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.

6) Rotate the flame height regulator to adjust
the flame 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.

FIRST FIRE

DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCE
WITHOUT THE GLASS FRONT IN
PLACE.

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 before 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.

CAUTION: Carbon will be produced if air
shutter is closed too much.

Note: Any damage due to carboning re-

sulting from improperly setting
the aeration controls is NOT cov­ered under warranty.

Adjustment Wire - Pull down to open or

push up to close aeration cap.

Closed - Tall yellow

Open - Short Blue

Note: Aeration Adjustment should only

be performed by an authorized
Regency Installer at the time of
installation or service.

NORMAL OPERATING

SOUNDS OF GAS

APPLIANCES

LIGHTING

PROCEDURE

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.

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 wall switch, thermostat or remote
control to turn on the unit.

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.

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 after the unit has cooled down
or the film will bake on and become very
difficult to remove. Use a non-abrasive
cleaner and DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN
THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.

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 flame or close for
a yellower flame. 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
3/8" Propane

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.

Regency P121-1/P121LC-1/P121RC-1/P131-1 Zero Clearance Direct Vent Gas Fireplace 29

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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 fireplace glass cleaner.

The glass should be cleaned when it
starts looking cloudy.

3) The heater is finished in a heat resistant
paint and should only be refinished with
heat resistant paint. Regency uses Stove­Bright Paint - Metallic Black #6309.

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.

Note: Never operate the appliance with-

out the glass properly secured in
place.

6) Do not use this appliance if any part has

been under water. Immediately call a qual­ified 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) In the event this appliance has been serv­iced check that the vent-air system has
been properly resealed & reinstalled in
accordance with the manufacturer's in­structions.

8) Verify operation after servicing.

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.

30

Regency P121-1/P121LC-1/P121RC-1/P131-1 Zero Clearance Direct Vent Gas Fireplace

MAINTENANCE

2) Remove the Cap, and shine a flashlight

down the Vent. Remove any bird nests, or
other foreign material.

3) Check for evidences 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, 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 diagrams under Log
Installation.

GLASS GASKET

If the glass gasket requires replacement use
a tadpole glass gasket (Part # 936-155).

DOOR GLASS

Your Regency fireplace is supplied with high
temperature 5mm-Tempered glass & 5mm-Ce­ramic glass. If your glass requires cleaning, we
recommend using an approved glass cleaner
available at all authorized dealers. Do not use
abrasive materials.
