CLEARANCES
The clearances listed below are Minimum distances unless otherwise stated (refer to diagrams on page 8):
Clearance to Combustibles from:
Back0"(0mm)
Side0"(0mm)
Floor0"(0mm)
CAUTION REQUIREMENTS: The top, back and sides of the fireplace are defined by
standoffs. The metal ends of the standoffs may NOT be recessed into combustible construction.
Determine the total thickness of the finished floor (eg. tile, carpet, slate) to allow
the finished surface to be flush with the base of the unit.
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.
Mantel Clearances
* If the 3" (76mm) metal extension trim is removed it must be replaced with a 8"
(203mm) non-combustible material.

INSTALLATION
FRAMING AND FINISHING
1) For ease of installation, frame your fireplace after it is positioned and
the flue 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 flue to
combustible materials for both rigid and flex, see Flue Clearances, page 9.

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).
FLUEING
INTRODUCTION
The P121/P121LC/P121RC/P131 uses the
"balanced flue" technology Co Axial system.
The inner liner flue 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 flue system must be
flueed 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 flue gas appliance must use it's
own separate flue system. Common flue systems are prohibited.

INSTALLATION
HORIZONTAL
INSTALLATIONS
Install the flue 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 flueing system is attached. If this is the case, you may want to
adjust the location of the unit. Rough in the
gas.
2) Direct Flue pipe and fittings are designed
with special twist-lock connections to connect the flueing 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 flue 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 flue 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 flue must be level,
or have a 1/4 inch rise for every 1 foot
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 12.
6) The arrow on the flue 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

to ensure that the termination is
not recessed into the siding.
7) Before connecting the horizontal run of flue
pipe to the flue termination, slide the Wall
Thimble (Part # 942) over the flue pipe.
8) Slide the appliance and flue assembly towards the wall carefully inserting the flue
pipe into the flue cap assembly. It is important that the flue pipe extends into the flue
cap sufficient distance so as to result in a
minimum pipe overlap of 1-1/4 inches. Secure the connection between the flue pipe
and the flue cap by attaching the two sheet
metal strips extending from the flue cap
assembly into the outer wall of the flue 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
flueing 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 flue will pene-
trate 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 flue will penetrate
the roof. Determine if ceiling joists, roof
rafters or other framing will
obstruct the flueing 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 flue 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 flue cap meets
the minimum height requirements specified in
Diagram 5 or local codes. Note that for steep

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 flue height may solve the
problem.
7) Ensure flue 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 flue 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 flue 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
flue 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 flue termination area after snow falls, and clear to
prevent accidental blockage of flueing
system. When using snow blowers, make
sure snow is not directed towards flue
termination area.

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.
Note: To properly check gas pressure,
both inlet and manifold pressures
should be checked using the valve
pressure ports on the valve.

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 flex 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 AS5601-2004 (Australian
Installation Code) NZS 5261(New Zealand
Installation Standard).
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.
Regency P121/P121LC/P121RC/P131 Zero Clearance Room Sealed Gas Fireplace23
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 3.45 kPa.
Disconnect piping from valve at pressures over
3.45 kPa.
The manifold pressure is controlled by a regulator built into the gas control, and should be
checked at the pressure test point.

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 flueing and cap are unobstructed.
6) Ensure that the brick panels are installed.
7) Verify log placement. If the pilot cannot be

3)
Push in gas control knob slightly andturn to "ON" position.
4)
Turn ON the flame switch.
SHUTDOWN
PROCEDURE
1) Turn OFF the flame switch.
2) Push in gas control knob slightly and turn to "OFF"
position.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 burner aeration is factory set. Adjustment
may be needed due to the local gas supply or
altitude. As a general rule if the flame is too
yellow open up the air shutter, if it is too blue
close the air shutter.

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 authorized service person.
5) The appliance and flueing system must be
inspected before use, and at least annually, by a authorized 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 authorized 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 flue-air system has
been properly resealed & reinstalled in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
8) Verify operation after servicing.

General Flue Maintenance
Conduct an inspection of the flueing system
semi-annually. Recommended areas to inspect
as follows:
1) Check the Flueing 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.
MAINTENANCE
2) Remove the Cap, and shine a flashlight
down the Flue. 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.
CAUTION & WARNINGS:
* Do not clean when the glass is hot.
* The use of substitute glass will void all product
warranties.
* Care must be taken to avoid breakage of the
glass.
* Do not strike or abuse the glass.
* Do not operate this fireplace without the glass
front or with a cracked or broken glass front.
* Wear gloves when removing damaged or
broken glass.
* Replacement of the glass panels should be
done by a licensed or authorized service per
son.
