HEARTH
A hearth is not mandatory, but is recommended
for aesthetics and for added safety.
Regency® P42-4 Zero Clearance Direct Vent Gas Fireplace 7
INSTALLATION
CLEARANCES
The clearances listed below are Minimum
distances unless otherwise stated:
A major cause of chimney related fi res is
failure to maintain required clearances (air
space) to combustible materials. It is of the
greatest importance that this fi replace and
vent system be installed only in accordance
with these instructions.
Clearance to Combustibles from:
Back 0" (0mm)
Side 0" (0mm)
Floor 0" (0mm)
Minimum Clearance from Louver to:
Mantel min. 7" (177mm)
Ceiling 36" (914mm) from top
of louvers
Side Wall 6" (152mm)
Vent 1-1/2" (38mm) Flex
1-1/4" (32mm) Rigid Pipe
Alcove Clearances:
Max. Depth 36" (914mm)
Min. Width 52" (1321mm)
Min. Height 90" (2286mm)
MANTELS
Because of the extreme heat this fi replace emits, the mantel clearances are critical.
Combustible mantel clearances from louver are shown in the diagram below.
Note: A non-combustible mantel may be installed at a lower height if the framing is made
of metal studs covered with a non-combustible board.
WARNING
Fire hazard is an extreme risk
if these clearances are
not adhered to.
The HeatWave Duct Kit
and the Heat Release
Kit have different
clearance and framing

requirements, check
the HeatWave and Heat
Release manual for
details.
This drawing is to scale at 1:6 (one inch = 6 inches)
Mantel can be installed anywhere in shaded area using the above scale for units with the Flush
Front and with the optional Bay Front.
Note: Ensure the paint that is used on the mantel and the facing is "heat resistant" or the
paint may discolour.
MANTEL LEG CLEARANCES
Combustible mantel leg clearances as per diagram below:
Maximum
1-1/2" projection at 2"
minimum clearance.

T
INSTALLATION
FRAMING AND
FINISHING
1) Determine the total thickness of facing
material (ie. 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.
2) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with
framing material. The framed opening for
the assembled kit is 36-5/8" high x 40-1/4"
wide x 19" deep (930mm H x 1022mm W
x 483mm D). See Diagram 1.
Diagram 1
5) The unit does not have to be completely
enclosed in a chase. The clearance on top
of the unit from the top standoffs is 0" so
combustible building materials can be laid
directly on top of the standoffs. You must
maintain these clearances from the vent
to combustible materials: Flex Termination
clearance 1-1/2" (38mm), Simpson Dura-Vent
clearance or (1-1/4" (32mm). Combustible
materials can be laid against the side and
back standoffs and the fi replace base.
The HeatWave Duct Kit has different
clearance and framing requirements,
check the HeatWave manual for details.
TOP ASSEMBLY &
NAILING STRIPS
The Top Facing Support and Side Nailing Strips
must be correctly positioned and attached before
the unit is slipped into position.
1) The top standoffs are shipped installed.
2) The Top Facing Support and the 2 Side
Nailing Strips can be installed at different
depths depending on the width of your facing.
Match the depths of the top facing support
and the side nailing strips.
a) Mount Top Facing Support using the 3
supplied screws into the 3 pre-punched
screw holes on the top front of the unit.
See Diagrams 2 & 3 for the proper
position of the Top Facing Support for
the various material depths.

b) Mount the Side Nailing Strip using the 3
supplied screws into the 3 screw holes
or slots (diagram 4) on the side of the
unit and repeat for the other side. Use
the hole for a 1/2" (13mm) thick facing
material and the slot for a range of
thickness from 3/4" to 1-1/2" (25mm to
38mm).
VENTING
INTRODUCTION
The P42 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.
Each direct vent gas appliance must use it's own
separate vent system. Common vent systems
are prohibited.
VENT RESTRICTOR
A vent restrictor may be required. Check
the diagrams in the "Rigid Pipe Venting
Arrangements" section to determine if the #6
restrictor is needed for your vent confi guration.
Diagram 1
Note: 43" (1092mm) is the minimum height
for fl ex termination and Rigid Pipe
terminations.
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 louvers must not be closer than
36" (914mm) to the ceiling.

NOTE: Horizontal runs 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 a possible fi re hazard.

INSTALLATION
RIGID PIPE VENTING
Horizontal or Vertical Terminations
The Rigid Pipe Venting System offers a complete line of component parts for installation of both horizontal and vertical installations. Many items are
offered in decorative black, as well as galvanized fi nish. We recommend using the galvanized fi nish for installation with the P42.
The minimum components required for a basic
horizontal termination are:
1 Horizontal Termination Cap
1 90
1 Flue Adaptor
1 Wall Thimble
1 Length of pipe to suit wall thickness
(see chart)
o
Elbow
Vertical
Terminal
Storm Collar
Part # 953

943 or 943S
Ceiling Firestop
(Part # 963)
Pipe Length
o
90 Elbow
Wall thickness is measured from the back
standoffs to the inside mounting surface of
termination cap. 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. Measure the wall
thickness including furring strips.
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.

WARNING:
Do not combine venting components from
different venting systems.
However use of the the AstroCapTM and FPI
Riser is acceptable with all systems.
This product has been evaluated by Intertek for
using a Rigid Pipe Adaptor in conjunction with
Duravent Direct-Vent GS, Selkirk Direct-Temp,
Ameri Vent Direct venting and Security Secure
Vent systems. Use of these systems with the
Rigid Pipe adaptor is deemed acceptable
and does not affect the Intertek WHI listing of
components.
