WARNING:

instructions.

Vertical Vent Clearances 1-1/4" (32mm)

COMBUSTIBLE MANTELS

Because of the extreme heat this fi replace 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 non-combustible
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 fi replace 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 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, page 9.

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 non­combustible 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

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
pre-punched 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 P121-1/P121LC-1/P121RC-1/P131-1 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.

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.

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 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 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.

Note: Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to inner pipe

and high temperature silicone seal-

Diagram 1

ant 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 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.

Note:

a) The horizontal run of vent must be level,

or have a 1/4 inch rise for every 1 foot

Diagram 2

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

Diagram 3

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

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 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 1

Diagram 2

INSTALLATION

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 roof-

line 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 local codes. Note that for

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

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 3 and install the fi re-

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 twist-

locking it.

Note: Any closets or storage spaces, which

the vent passes through must be
enclosed.

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.

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 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

.

45

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.

INSTALLATION

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.

HIGH ELEVATION

This unit is approved in Canada for altitude 0
to 4500 ft. (CAN1 2.17-M91).

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.

Important: Always check for gas leaks with a
soap and water solution or gas leak detector.
Do not use open fl ame for leak testing.

PILOT ADJUSTMENT

Periodically check the pilot fl ames. Correct
fl ame pattern has three strong blue fl ames:
1 fl owing around the thermopile, 1 around
the thermocouple and 1 fl owing across the
burner (it does not have to be touching the
burner).

Note: If you have an incorrect fl ame pat-

tern, 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.

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" posi-

tion.

2) Loosen the "IN" and/or "OUT" pressure

tap(s), turning counterclockwise with a

1/8" wide fl at 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 specifi ed on the safety
label.

6) When fi nished reading manometer, turn

off the gas valve, disconnect the hose and
tighten the screw (clockwise) with a 1/8" fl at
screwdriver. Note: Screw should be snug,

but do not over tighten.

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.

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

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 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 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.

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.

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.

30

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

Copy of the Lighting Plate Instructions

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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.

MAINTENANCE

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 with-

out 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 condensa-

tion, 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 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 or Grills. Remove
the Top Louver or Grill.

2) Remove the Trim Kit, Glass Door, Log Set,
Grate and Burner Assembly (see page

26).

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
