FRAMING & FINISHING WITH CONTEMPORARY FACEPLATE
1) Determine the total thickness of facing material (e.g. drywall, wood plus
ceramic tiles) to allow the fi nished surface to be fl ush with the front of the
unit. Total facing thickness can vary from 1/2" (13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm)
thick.
NOTE: Facing material may not protrude beyond unit, otherwise the op-
tional accesories will not be able to be mounted to the unit.
Install Side Nailing Strips, and Top Facing
Support before unit is slipped into position.
See "Unit Assembly Prior to Installation"
Section
2) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing material.
4) Combustible material may be brought up to the top and sides of the unit
and be covered with wood, drywall, ceramic tiles, bricks, rock or other
suitable combustible fi nishing materials.
Note: 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. Y ou
must maintain clearance from the vent to combustible materials
for fl ex or for Rigid Vent (Refer to "Clearances" Section).
5) Use steel studs for framing where the 1-1/2" (38mm) clearance from the
vent to combustible material cannot be maintained.
The HeatWave Duct Kit has different
clearance and framing requirements,
check the HeatWave manual for details.
Note: When constructing the framed opening, please ensure there is
access to install the gas lines when the unit is installed.
3) For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to the same degree as the rest
of the house, apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per local installation
codes. (Do not insulate the fi replace itself.)
W ARNING: Failure to insulate and add vapor barriers to the inside of
the exterior wall will result in operational and performance problems
including, but not limited to: excessive condensation on glass doors,
poor fl ame package, carbon, blue fl ames etc. These are not product
related issues.
Important:
If the Contemporary Faceplate is used on the P33E-NG4/P33E-LP4
Gas Fireplace, the burner orifi ce (Both NG/LP supplied in this
package) must be replaced and an overlay decal (also supplied with
kit) must be affi xed to the current serial number decal
supplied with unit.
Note: Also see framing dimensions for this optional front if installed
on the P33E-4 unit.
Note: Unit must be raised up by 1' to allow for faceplate
installation.

VENTING INTRODUCTION
The P33E-4 uses the "balanced fl ue" technology Co-Axial system. The inner liner vents products of combustion to the outside while the outer liner
draws outside combustion air into the combustion chamber thereby eliminating the need to use heated room air for combustion and losing warm room
air up the chimney.
There are 5 vent systems approved for use with the P33E-4: the Regency® Direct Vent Flex System for Horizontal Terminations only and the Simpson
Dura-Vent Pro, Selkirk Direct-Temp, Amerivent Direct Vent, Metal-Fab Sure Seal, Security Secure Vent and ICC Excel Direct for Horizontal and Vertical
Terminations (see following "Venting" Sections for more details).
Note: These fl ue 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 System" for more details and exceptions).
NOTE: Ensure compliance with the outside vent terminal location before cutting hole as both dimensions must be met.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
for Regency® Direct Vent System (Flex)
INSTALLATION
1) Locate the unit in the framing, rough in the gas
(preferably on the right side of the unit) and the
electrical (Junction block is on the left side) on
the left. Locate the centerline of the termination
and mark wall accordingly. Cut a 10"(254mm)
hole in the wall (inside dimension).
Note: To make the installation more aesthetically
pleasing, we recommend framing out a
square to mount the terminal to.
Note: A 2-1/2" (64mm) horizontal top and
1-1/2" (38mm) horizontal sides & bottom
clearance around the liner must be maintained except that only a 1" (25mm) clearance is needed at the termination end.
We recommend framing a 10"(254mm)
x 10"(254mm) (inside dimensions) hole
to give structural rigidity for mounting
the termination.
Note: If installing termination on a siding
covered wall, furring strips must be
used to ensure that the termination is
not recessed into the siding.
2) Level the fi replace and fasten it to the 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.
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".
*If this is an outside corner, the minimum distance between the vent and the outside
corner is 6" (15cm) with AstroCap termination cap or 12" (30cm) with Dura-Vent termination cap. See "F" in the diagram in "Exterior Vent T ermination Locations" Section.
Minimum and Maximum Vent Clearances
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.
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.

UNIT INSTALLATION WITH HORIZONTAL TERMINATION
Install the vent system according to the
manufacturer's instructions included with the
components.
1) Set the unit in its desired location. Check
to determine if wall studs or roof rafters
are in the way when the venting system is
attached. If this is the case, you may want
to adjust the location of the unit. Rough in
the gas preferably on the right side of the
unit and the electrical (junction block is on
the left side) on the left.
2) Direct Vent pipe and fi ttings are designed
with special twist-lock connections to
connect the venting system to the appliance
fl ue outlet. A twist-lock appliance adaptor
is an available option that must be used in
conjunction with the Simpson Dura-Vent
Direct Vent system.
3) Put a bead of silicone inside the outer section
of the adapter and a bead of Fireplace Mate
on the inner collar. Slip the adapter over the
existing inner and outer fl ue collar and fasten
to the outer collar only with the 3 supplied
screws (drilling pilot holes will make this
easier). Level the fi replace and fasten it to
the framing using nails or screws through
the nailing strips.
4) Assemble the desired combination of pipe
and elbows to the appliance adaptor and
twist-lock for a solid connection.
Note:
a) Twist-lock procedure: Four indentations,
located on the female ends of pipes and
fi ttings, are designed to slide straight
onto the male ends of adjacent pipes
and fi ttings, by orienting the four pipe
indentations so they match and slide
in to the four entry slots on the male
ends, Dia. 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) diameter (7-1/2"(191mm) dia. for
fl ex) hole is acceptable.
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. See
"Exterior Vent Terminal Locations" Section.
c)Snorkel Terminations:For installations requiring a vertical rise on
the exterior of the building, 14-inch and 36inch tall Snorkel T erminations and the Riser
Vent as shown in Dia. 2 & 2a are available.
Follow the same installation procedures as
used for standard Horizontal Termination.
NEVER install the snorkel upside down.
Below Grade Snorkel Installation
If the Snorkel Termination must be installed
below grade, i.e. basement application,
Diagram 2
*As specifi ed in CGA B149 Installation Code.
Local codes or regulations may require different
clearances.
INSTALLATION
Diagram 2a
proper drainage must be provided
to prevent water from entering the
Snorkel Termination. Refer to DuraVent Installation instructions for details.
Do not attempt to enclose the Snorkel
within the wall, or any other type of
enclosure.
6) The arrow on the vent cap should
be pointing up. Insure that the 1-1/2"
clearances to combustible materials are
maintained (Dia. 3). Install the termination
cap. AstroCap
Termination Cap may be used.
The four wood screws provided should
be replaced with appropriate fasteners for
stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of
sidings.
Diagram 3
Note: If installing termination on a siding
covered wall, a vinyl siding standoff
or furring strips must be used to
ensure that the termination is not
recessed into the siding.
7) Before connecting the horizontal run of vent
pipe to the vent termination, slide the Wall
Thimble (Part # 620-926) over the vent
pipe.

8) Slide the appliance and vent assembly towards
the wall carefully inserting the vent pipe into the
vent cap assembly. It is important that the vent
pipe extends into the vent cap suffi cient distance
so as to result in a minimum pipe overlap of
1-1/4 inches. Secure the connection between
the vent pipe and the vent cap 3 sheet metal
screws.
9) Install wall thimble in the center of the 10" square
and attach with wood screws (Diagram 4).

UNIT INSTALLATION
WITH VERTICAL
TERMINATION
1) Maintain the 1-1/2" clearances (air spaces) to
combustibles when passing through ceilings,
walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafter, or other
nearby combustible surfaces. Do not pack air
spaces with insulation. Check "Venting" Sections
for the maximum vertical rise o f
the venting system and the
maximum horizontal offset
limitations.
2) Set the gas appliance i n
its desired location. Drop a
plumb bob down from the ceiling t o
the position of the appliance
fl ue exit, and mark the location
where the vent will penetrate
the ceiling. Drill a small
hole at this point. Next,
drop a plumb bob from
the roof to the hole
previously drilled i n
the ceiling, and mark the
spot where the vent will penetrate the roof.
3) A Firestop spacer must be installed in the fl oor
or ceiling of every level. To install the Firestop
spacer in a fl at ceiling or wall, cut a 10 inch square
hole. Frame the hole as shown in Diagram 2
and install the fi restop.
Diagram 2
Diagram 1
4) Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and
elbows. Ensure that all pipes and elbow connections are in the fully twist-locked position
and sealed.
NOTE: 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.
5) Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small
drilled hole placed in the roof in Step 2. The hole
should be of suffi cient size to meet the minimum
requirements for clearance to combustibles
of 1-1/2". Slip the fl ashing under the shingles
(shingles should overlap half the fl ashing) as
per Diagram 3.
Diagram 3: The upper half of the fl ashing is in-
stalled under the roofi ng material and not nailed
down until the chimney is installed. This allows
for small adjustments.
6) Continue to assemble pipe lengths.
Note: If an offset is necessary in the attic to
avoid obstructions, it is important to
support the vent pipe every 3 feet, to
avoid excessive stress on the elbows,
and possible separation. Wall straps
are available for this purpose.
Galvanized pipe is desirable above the roofl ine
due to its higher corrosion resistance. Continue
to add pipe sections through the fl ashing until
the height of the vent cap meets the minimum
height requirements specifi ed in Dia. 4 or local
codes. Note that for steep roof pitches, the
vertical height must be increased. A poor
draft, or down drafting can result from high
wind conditions near big trees or adjoining
roof lines, in these cases, increasing the
vent height may solve the problem.
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.
GAS LINE
INSTALLATION
The gas line is brought through the right side of
the appliance. The gas valve is situated on the
right hand side of the unit and the gas inlet is on
the right hand side of the valve.
The gas line connection may be made of rigid pipe,
copper pipe or an approved fl ex connector. (If you
are using rigid pipe, ensure that the valve can be
removed for servicing.) Since some municipalities
have additional local codes it is always best to
consult with your local authorities and the CAN/
CGA B149 installation code.
For USA installations follow local codes and/or the
current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
When using copper or fl ex connectors use only
approved fi ttings. Always provide a union so that
gas lines can be easily disconnected for servicing.
Flare nuts for copper lines and fl ex connectors
are usually considered to meet this requirement.
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.

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.
FIRST FIRE
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 you use it with the fan on.
When fi rst operated, the unit will release an odour
caused by the curing of the paint, the burning
off of any oils remaining from manufacturing.
Smoke detectors in the house may go off at
this time. Open a few windows to ventilate the
room for a couple of hours.
The glass panel may require cleaning after the
unit has cooled down. DO NOT A TTEMPT T O
CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.
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.

MAINTENANCE
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 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.
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) 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 V enting 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.
GOLD-PLATED
LOUVERS/TRIM
The 24 carat gold-plated fi nish on the louvers
and trim requires little maintenance, and need
only be cleaned with a damp cloth. DO NOT
use abrasive materials or chemical cleaners,
as they may harm the fi nish and void the
warranty. Clean any fi ngerprints off before
turning the unit on.
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.
56
Note: Improper positioning of logs may
create carbon build-up and will
severely alter the unit's performance
which is not covered under
warranty.

back onto the frame. The glass must have
gasketing around it.
Bay Glass Replacement
1) Remove the door from the unit and place
on a soft surface to prevent scratching.
2) Remove the nuts holding the glass clips
in place and remove.
3) Replace the glass. The glass must have
gasketing around it.
