FRAMING AND FINISHING
1) Determine the total thickness of facing
material (e.g. drywall 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.
Install Side Nailing Strips, and Top Facing
Support before unit is slipped into position.
See page 9 for assembly details.
2) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with
framing material.

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.)
4) The top of the unit must not be closer than
30" (762mm) to the ceiling.
5) Combustible material may be brought up to
the top and sides of the unit and be covered
with ceramic tiles, bricks, rock or other suitable combustible fi nishing materials.
Note: The unit does not have to be complete-
ly 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.

UNIT ASSEMBLY
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
The Top Facing Support, the Side Nailing Strips
and the 2 Top Standoffs must be correctly positioned and attached to the top before the unit
is put into position.
Top Standoff Assembly
The top standoffs are shipped in a fl at position
and must be pulled up and bent into the correct shape.
1) Remove the standoffs from on top of the
fi rebox by undoing the screws.
2) Take each standoff and bend into the cor-
rect shape. Bend up at the bend lines until
the screw holes in the standoff and the
pre-punched screw holes on the fi rebox top
line-up.
3) Attach the standoffs securely to the top with
4 screws per standoff.
Note: Secure the standoffs to the holes
closest to the edge of the fi rebox top.
Top Facing Support &
Side Nailing Strips
Determine the total thickness of facing material (e.g. drywall 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.
The Top Facing Support & Side Nailing Strips
can be mounted in various positions depending
on the thickness of the facing material.
1) Mount Top Facing Support using the 3
supplied screws into the three pre-punched
screw holes on the top front of the unit. Adjust
support to desired facing material depth.
2) Mount Side Nailing Strip using the 3 sup-
plied screws into the three pre-punched
screw holes at the front sides of the unit.
Adjust support to desired facing material
thickness.
For a facing material depth of
1-1/4"(32mm), the top facing
support must be reversed.
VENTING INTRODUCTION
The P33-3 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 2 vent systems approved for use with the P33-3: the Regency Direct Vent System (Flex) for Horizontal Terminations only (see pages
11-12), and the Simpson Dura-Vent Systems for Horizontal and Vertical Terminations (see pages 13-24).
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.
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)
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 aes-
thetically 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 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.
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" on the diagram on page 10.
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.

RIGID PIPE VENTING SYSTEMS
Horizontal or Vertical Terminations
INSTALLATION
The minimum components required for a basic
horizontal termination are:
1 AstroCap Horizontal Termination Cap
1 45o Elbow
1 Rigid Pipe Adaptor
1 Wall Thimble
1 Length of pipe to suit wall thickness
(see chart)
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
Terminal must not be recessed into siding.
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.
