CAUTION: Verify your fi replace dimensions, framing methods and
fi nished wall facing details before framing. Determine the total

thickness of facing material - drywall plus ceramic tiles, slate, etc.
Allow the fi nish surface to be fl ush 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 fl ex, see Vent Clearances
in the "Clearances" section.

Facing & Finishing Requirements

This fi replace is supplied with a 3" metal extension trim above the fi replace. The extension trim may be replaced if the framing is faced with a non-
combustible material placed fl ush 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 fl at position and must be folded into shape and attached.

1) Remove the standoffs from the fi replace 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 pre­punched screw holes on the fi replace top
line up.

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

VENTING

INTRODUCTION

The P121-2/P121LC-2/P121RC-2/P131-2 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.

Note: These flue pipes must not be

connected 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. (See "Rigid Pipe Venting
Systems" for more details and exceptions).

The minimum components required for a basic horizontal
termination are:

1 Simpson Duravent Adaptor
1 Horizontal Termination Cap
1 45o Elbow
1 Rigid Pipe 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 vinyl siding standoff, to create a level
surface to mount the vent terminal. The T erminal 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.

HORIZONTAL

TERMINATIONS

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 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 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 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.

Diagram 1

NOTE: For best results and optimum
performance with each approved venting
system, it is highly recommended to apply
“Mill-Pac” sealant (supplied) to every in­ner pipe connection. Failure to do so may
result in drafting or performance issues not
covered under warranty. Silicone (red RTV)
is optional.

b) Horizontal runs of vent must be

supported 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 fl ex) hole is
acceptable.

Note: With Dura-Vent, the minimum height
is achieved by installing a 45o elbow directly
to the rigid pipe 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 fi re.

b) The location of the horizontal vent

termination 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 in the "Exterior
Vent Termination Locations" section.

6) The arrow on the vent cap should
be pointing up. Insure that the 1-1/2"

clearances to combustible materials are
maintained (Diagram 3 in the "Venting
Arrangement - Horizontal Terminations"
section) 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 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 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 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

TERMINATIONS

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 the
"Venting Arrangement" section
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. 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 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 suffi cient size to meet
the minimum requirements for clearance
to combustibles of 1-1/4". Slip the fl ashing
under the shingles (shingles should overlap
half the fl ashing) as per Diagram 4.

Diagram 4: 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 (Diagram 2).

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 5 or

NOTE: For best results and optimum perform­ance with each approved venting system, it is
highly recommended to apply “Mill-Pac” seal­ant (supplied) to every inner pipe connection.
Failure to do so may result in drafting or per­formance issues not covered under warranty.
Silicone (red RTV) is optional.

3) A Firestop spacer must be installed in the

fl oor or ceiling of every level. To install the

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.

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.

8) Install the vertical termination cap by twist­locking it.

Note: Any closets or storage spaces, which

the vent passes through must be
enclosed.

Offset Chart

Note: To make
the installation
more aesthetically
pleasing, we
recommend framing
out a square to mount
the terminal to.

2) Level the fi replace 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) 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.

NOTE: Horizontal sections must be

supported 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 fl ue collars of the fi replace. (You may
wish to cut the liner shorter to make it more
workable.) Do not bend liner more than

o

.

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.

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.

PROCEDURES

for Regency® AstroCapTM Direct

Vent System (Flex)

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 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.

GAS LINE

INSTALLATION

The gas line can be brought through either
the right, the left side or the bottom of the
appliance. The gas valve is situated on the
bottom 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 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.

Note: If you have an incorrect fl ame pattern,

contact your Regency® dealer for
further instructions.

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

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). Disconnect piping from valve at
pressures over 1/2 psig.

The manifold pressure is controlled by a regulator
built into the gas control, and should be checked
at the pressure test point.

Regency® P121-2/P121LC-2/P121RC-2/P131-2 Zero Clearance Direct Vent Gas Fireplace

The fi rst fi re in your fi replace 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 before 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.

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

Adjustment Wire - Push to close or

pull to open 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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

COPY OF THE LIGHTING PLATE INSTRUCTIONSNORMAL 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.

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.

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. Y ou 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.

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.
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.

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. Regency® 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) 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.

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
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 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 diagrams under Log
Installation.

Note: Improper positioning of logs may

create carbon build-up and will
severely alter the unit's performance
which is not covered under
warranty.

THERMOPILE /

THERMOCOUPLE

1) Open the Bottom Louvers or Grills. Remove
the Top Louver or Grill.

2) Remove the Trim Kit, Glass Door, Log
Set, Grate and Burner Assembly (see the
"Log Installation" & "Glass Door Removal"
sections).

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) Remove 2 screws from the pilot assembly
and pull up far enough to be able to loosen
the thermocouple or thermopile with a 7/16"
wrench. NOTE: the pilot line is very fragile,
use caution when pulling it up.

5) Drop the thermocouple or thermopile down
through the extrusion and pull it out of the
unit.

6) Reinstall the new ones in reverse order.
