UNIT ASSEMBLY PRIOR TO 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 correct

shape. Bend up at the bend lines until the screw holes in the standoff and the prepunched 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

supplied 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 P33-4 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 P33-4: the Regency® Direct Vent Flex System for Horizontal Terminations only and the Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct-Temp, Amerivent Direct Vent and Security Secure Vent Systems 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.

This venting system, in combination with the P33-4 Direct Vent Gas Fireplace, have been tested and listed as a direct vent heater system by Warnock Hersey. The location of the termination cap must conform to the requirements in the "Exterior Vent Terminal Locations" Section .

Regency® Direct Vent Flex Termination Kit (Part # 946-513) includes all the parts needed to install the P33-4 with a maximum run of 2 feet. If installing the P33 with a continuous vent length of more than 2 ft (.6m) to a maximum of 10 ft. (3.0m) use Kit # 946-515 (4 ft) or 946-516

(10 ft) or see "Rigid Pipe Venting Systems" Section for alternate venting arrangements.

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 m ak e 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 Trmination 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.

RIGID PIPE VENTING SYSTEMS

Horizontal or Vertical Terminations

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.
