2) Use the same screw hole position for the
Side Nailing Strips as was used for the Top
Facing Support. Attach each side nailing
strip using 3 screws.
Note: When installing side strips into
position C, the side strips are not reserved.
VENTING
INTRODUCTION
The P40 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 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.

INSTALLATION
UNIT INSTALLATION
WITH HORIZONTAL
TERMINATION
(Rigid Vent Systems)
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 required.
3) In conjunction with the Simpson Dura-Vent
Direct Vent GS system. Install the adaptor
after the unit is set in its desired location.
Put a bead of high temperature silicone
inside the outer section of the adapter and
a bead of Mill Pack on the inner collar. Slip
the adapter over the existing inner and outer
fl ue collar. Fasten to the outer collar only with
the 3 supplied screws (drilling pilot holes will
make this easier).
4) Level the fi replace and fasten it to the framing
using nails or screws through the top and
side nailing strips.
5) Assemble the desired combination of pipe
and elbows to the appliance adaptor and
twist-lock for a solid connection.
6) Mark the wall for a 11" x 11" (279mm x
279mm) square hole. The center of the
square hole should line up with the centerline of the horizontal pipe. Cut and frame the
11 inch (279mm) square hole in the exterior
wall where the vent will be terminated. See
diagram 2 for center line requirements.
If the wall being penetrated is constructed
of non-combustible material, i.e. masonry
block or concrete, an 8" (203mm) diameter
hole is acceptable.
Diagram 2
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.
The arrow on the vent cap should be
pointing up.
INSTALLATION
Diagram 5
The four wood screws provided should
be replaced with appropriate fasteners for
stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of
sidings.
8) Before connecting the horizontal run of vent
pipe to the vent termination, slide the Wall
Thimble (Part # 1247) over the vent pipe,
required in Canada.
9) 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
(32mm). 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 6.
Note: Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to inner pipe
and high temp silicone sealant to
outer pipe on every twist-lock joint.
Diagram 1
Horizontal runs of vent must be supported
every 3 feet (0.9meter). Wall straps are
available for this purpose.
Regency® P40 Direct Vent Gas Fireplace21
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 Termination Locations"
7) Insure that the 1-1/4"(32mm) pipe clearances
to combustible materials are maintained
(Diagram 5). Install the termination cap.
Note: If installing termination on a vinyl
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 6
10) Install wall thimble in the center of the 11"
(279mm) square and attach with wood
screws (Diagram 7).

(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
Arrangemnt - Vertical
Termination" section for
th e m ax im um 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.
3) A Firestop spacer must be installed in the
fl oor or ceiling of every level.
Diagram 3
Diagram 2
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:
Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to inner pipe and
high temp silicone sealant to outer pipe on
every twist-lock joint.
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"(32mm). 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 (0.9 meter), 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 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 Diagram 5 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 twist-
locking it.
Note: Any closets or storage spaces, which
the vent passes through must be
enclosed.

UNIT INSTALLATION
HORIZONTAL TERMINATION
WITH FLEX VENT SYSTEM
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 an 11"(279mm) hole in the wall (inside
dimension).
Note: A top clearance of 2-1/2"(64mm)
and side & bottom clearance of
1-1/2"(38mm) must be maintained
except that only a 1" (25mm) clearance
is needed at the termination end. We
recommend framing a 11"(279mm) x
11"(279mm) (inside dimensions) hole
to give structural rigidity for mounting
the termination.
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.
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 5"(127mm) liner and outer
8"(203mm) 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 90
The liners must slip over the collars a
minimum of 1-3/8".
7) Apply Mill Pac over the fi replace inner collar
and slip the 5"(127mm) liner down over it
and attach with 3 supplied screws.
8) Do the same with the 8"(203mm) liner.
o
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
Note: If installing termination on a siding
covered wall, a vinyl siding standoff
or vinyl 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 5"(127mm) inner collar of
the termination and slipping the 5"(127mm)
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 8"(203mm) fl ex
pipe and slip it over the 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).
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.

GAS LINE
INSTALLATION
The gas line can be brought through the bottom
right 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.
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 pattern,
contact your Regency
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.

SHUTDOWN
PROCEDURE
FIRST FIRE
DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCE
WITHOUT THE GLASS FRONT IN
PLACE.
The FIRST FIRE in your heater 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 and 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 may
require cleaning.
NOTE: The main burner will always start on
"HIGH" and resume it's last setting after
20 seconds of operation.
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.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE
GLASS WHILE IT IS STILL HOT!
IMPORTANT
To ignite or reignite the pilot,
you must fi rst release the
tension springs below the door.
Only when the pilot holds, without pressure
being applied to the control knob, reapply the
tension springs to the door. The unit must not be operated with the tension springs
unattached.
IMPORTANT Gas on/off knob cannot be
turned from "PILOT" to "OFF" unless it is
partially depressed.
Ensure that the 3 way switch on the manual
control panel is in the "Remote" position.
Manual Control Panel
1) Press the ON/OFF switch once.
2) The LED will fl ash.
3) Turn the main gas control clockwise to the
"OFF" position to turn off the pilot.
4) Turn off all electric power to appliance if
service is to be performed.
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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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 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"
OPERATION
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.
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.

GENERAL VENT
MAINTENANCE
Conduct an inspection of the venting system
semiannually. 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
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.
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
create carbon build-up and will
severely alter the unit's performance
which is not covered under
warranty.
