INSTALLATION
FRAMING AND FINISHING
1) Determine the total thickness of facing
material (e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to
allow the finished surface to be flush 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.
Vertical Termination or
Vertical Rise with Horizontal
Termination
Rear Termination
NOTE: 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.
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 fireplace itself.)
6) 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: 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.

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 finishing materials.
Note: The unit does not have to be com-
pletely 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 1-1/2" (38mm) clearance from the vent to combustible
materials for flex (1-1/4" for Simpson Dura-Vent).

INSTALLATION
VENTING INTRODUCTION
The P33R-2 uses the "balanced flue" 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 P33R-2: 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 13-19).
Note: These flue 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.
REGENCY DIRECT VENT SYSTEM (FLEX)
HORIZONTAL TERMINATIONS ONLY
This venting system, in combination with the P33R-2 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 Vent Terminal Locations diagram on page 10.

INSTALLATION
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 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
covered wall, furring strips must
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 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) flex
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.
siding
*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 9.
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 67/8"(175mm) liner out enough to slip over the
flue collars of the fireplace.
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 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.
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".
