Regency P42-3 Zero Clearance Direct Vent Gas Fireplace

INSTALLATION

CLEARANCES

The clearances listed below are Minimum dis­tances unless otherwise stated:

A major cause of chimney related fires is
failure to maintain required clearances
(air space) to combustible materials. It is
of the greatest importance that this fire­place 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 fireplace 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.

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"

WARNING

or the paint may discolour.

Fire hazard is an extreme risk

if these clearances are

not adhered to.

Combustible mantel leg clearances as per diagram below:

and the Heat Release
Kit have different clear­ance and framing re-

quirements, check the
HeatWave and Heat
Release manual for de­tails.

Maximum
1-1/2" projection at 2"
minimum clearance.

INSTALLATION

FRAMING AND

FINISHING

1) The facing allows for 1/2" (13mm) of dry-

wall material. The unit may be installed
directly on/or against standard combusti­ble building materials.

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 Dura­Vent clearance or (1-1/4" (32mm). Combus­tible materials can be laid against the side
and back standoffs and the stove 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.

Diagram 3

Diagram 4

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 1"
to 1-1/2" (25mm to 38mm).

VENTING

INTRODUCTION

The P42 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.

Note: These flue pipes must not be con-

nected 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: 43" (1092mm) is the minimum

height for flex termination and
Simpson Dura-Vent 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 fireplace itself.)

4) The top louvers must not be closer than 36"

(914mm) to the ceiling.

Diagram 2

VENT RESTRICTOR

A vent restrictor may be required. Check the
diagrams on pages 13 to 18 to determine if the
#6 restrictor is needed for your vent configu­ration. If required, attach the 2 piece #6 restric­tor using 4 screws per piece to the inside top
of the firebox.

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 finish. We recommend using the galvanized finish for installation with the P42.

The minimum components required for a basic
horizontal termination are:

1 Horizontal Termination Cap
190o Elbow
1 Flue Adaptor
1 Wall Thimble
1 Length of pipe to suit wall thickness

(see chart)

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.

INSTALLATION

HORIZONTAL

INSTALLATIONS

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 fittings are designed
with special twist-lock connections to con­nect the venting system to the appliance
flue outlet. A twist-lock appliance adaptor
is an available option that must be used in
conjunction with the Simpson Dura-Vent
Direct Vent GS system. Install the adaptor
after the unit is set in its desired location
otherwise the unit will not fit through the 36­5/8" (930mm) high frame opening.

3) Put a bead of silicone inside the outer
section of the adapter and a bead of Stove
Mate on the inner collar. Slip the adapter
over the existing inner and outer flue collar
and fasten to the outer collar only with the
3 supplied screws (drilling pilot holes will
make this easier). Level the fireplace and
fasten it to the framing using nails or screws
through the nailing strips.

b) Horizontal runs of vent must be sup-

ported every 3 feet (0.9meter). Wall
straps are available for this purpose.

5) Mark the wall for a 10" x 10" (254mm x
254mm) square hole. The center of the
square hole should line up with the center­line of the horizontal pipe. Cut and frame the
10 inch (254mm) square hole in the exterior
wall where the vent will be terminated.

If the wall being penetrated is constructed
of non-combustible material, i.e. masonry
block or concrete, a 7" (178mm) diameter
(7-1/2" (190mm) for flex) hole is accepta­ble.

*Diagrams 3, 3a & 4: As
specified in CGA B149
Installation Code. Local
codes or regulations
may require different
clearances.

Diagram 3

Note: Riser
Vent is only for
use in above
grade termina­tions.

4) Assemble the desired combination of pipe

and elbows to the appliance adaptor and
twist-lock for a solid connection.

Note:

a) Twist-lock procedure: Four indenta-

tions, located on the female ends of
pipes and fittings, are designed to slide
straight onto the male ends of adjacent
pipes and fittings, by orienting the four
pipe indentations so they match and
slide in to the four entry slots on the
male ends. (Diagram 1) Push the pipe
sections completely together, then
twist-lock one section clockwise ap­proximately one-quarter turn, until the
two sections are fully locked. The fe­male locking lugs will not be visible from
the outside, on the Black Pipe or fittings.
They may be located by examining the
inside of the female ends.

Diagram 1

Note: Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to inner

pipe and high temp silicone seal­ant to outer pipe on every twist­lock joint.

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 fire.

b) The location of the horizontal vent ter-

mination on an exterior wall must meet
all local and national building codes, and
must not be blocked or obstructed. For
External Vent Terminal Locations, see
diagram on page 9.

c) Snorkel Terminations:

For installations requiring a vertical rise
on the exterior of the building, 14-inch
and 36-inch tall Snorkel Terminations
(diagram 3 & 4) are available, as well as
the standard Riser Vent, diagram 3a.
Follow the same installation procedures
as used for standard Horizontal Termi­nation. NEVER install the snorkel upside
down.

NOTE: For Snorkel terminations in ABOVE

grade installations, follow nation­al or local code requirements.

Diagram 3a

Below Grade Installation

If the Snorkel Termination must be installed
below grade, i.e. basement application, prop­er drainage must be provided to prevent
water from entering the Snorkel Termination.
Refer to Diagram 4.
Do not attempt to en­close the Snorkel
within the wall, or
any other
type of en­closure.

Diagram 4

Regency P42-3 Zero Clearance Direct Vent Gas Fireplace 19

INSTALLATION

6) The arrow on the vent cap should be

pointing up. Insure that the 1-1/4"(32mm)

clearances to combustible materials are
maintained (Diagram 5). Install the termina­tion cap.

Note: If installing termination on a 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 5

The four wood screws provided should be
replaced with appropriate fasteners for
stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of
sidings.

7) Before connecting the horizontal run of
vent pipe to the vent termination, slide the
Wall Thimble (Part # 942) over the vent pipe.

8) 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 sufficient 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.

Diagram 6

9) Install wall thimble in the center of the 10"
(254mm) square and attach with wood
screws (Diagram 6).

Diagram 7

VERTICAL

TERMINATION

1) Maintain the 1-1/4"(32mm) clear-

ances (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 pages
13-18 for the maximum 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 flue
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
floor or ceiling of every level. To install the
Firestop spacer in a flat ceiling or wall, cut
a 10 inch (254mm) square hole. Frame the
hole as shown in Diagram 3 and install the
firestop.

Diagram 1

Diagram 2

Diagram 3

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 twist­lock 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 sufficient size to meet the
minimum requirements for clearance to
combustibles of 1-1/4"(32mm). Slip the
flashing under the shingles (shingles should
overlap half the flashing) as per Diagram 4.

Diagram 4: The upper half of the flashing is

installed under the roofing 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 roof­line due to its higher corrosion resistance.
Continue to add pipe sections through the
flashing until the height of the vent cap meets
the minimum height requirements specified 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 flashing to the roof with roofing rails,
slide storm collar over the pipe section and
seal with a mastic.

8) Install the vertical termination cap by twist­locking it.

Note: Any closets or storage spaces,

which the vent passes through
must be enclosed.

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
aesthetically
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 siding

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.

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).

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".

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. (You may
wish to cut the liner shorter to make it more
workable.) Do not bend liner more than 90o.

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.

GAS LINE

INSTALLATION

The gas line can be brought through either the
right or the left side of the appliance. The gas
valve is situated on the right hand side of the unit
and the gas inlet is on the right hand side of the
valve.

Note: If the gas line is being installed

from the left side, be sure to leave
room to accommodate servicing
of the fan.

The gas line connection may be made of rigid
pipe, copper pipe or an approved flex 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 flex connectors use only
approved fittings. Always provide a union so
that gas lines can be easily disconnected for
burner or fan servicing. Flare nuts for copper
lines and flex 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 flame for leak
testing.

GAS PIPE PRESSURE

TESTING

3) Attach manometer to "IN" and/or "OUT"

pressure tap(s) using a 5/16" (8mm) ID
hose.

4) Light the pilot and turn the valve to "ON"
position.

5) The pressure check should be carried out
with the unit burning and the setting should
be within the limits specified on the safety
label.

6) When finished reading manometer, turn off
the gas valve, disconnect the hose and
tighten the screw (clockwise) with a 1/
8"(3mm) flat screwdriver. Note: Screw

should be snug, but do not over tight­en.

Note: Output capacity. The efficiency rating

of the appliance is a product thermal efficiency
rating determined under continuous operating
conditions and was determined independently
of any installed system. Vent height may or may
not change your efficiency ratings.

HIGH ELEVATION

This unit is approved in Canada for altitude 0 to
4500 ft. (CAN1 2.17-M90) with the orifice sup­plied.

The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shut-off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig. (3.45
kPa). Disconnect piping from valve at pres­sures over 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).

The manifold pressure is controlled by a regu­lator built into the gas control, and should be
checked at the pressure test point.

Note: To properly check gas pressure,

both inlet and manifold pressures
should be checked using the valve
pressure ports on the valve.

1) Make sure the valve is in the "OFF" position.

2) Loosen the "IN" and/or "OUT" pressure

tap(s), turning counterclockwise with a 1/
8" (3mm) wide flat screwdriver.

AERATION

ADJUSTMENT

The aeration adjustment gears are located on
the valve mounting plate and are accessed
from underneath through the bottom louver
opening.

To access the air shutter loosen the lock nut
and then use the allen key to turn the turning
gear which will adjust the air shutter. Open the
air shutter for a blue flame or close it for a
yellower flame. Tighten the lock nut when
adjustment is complete. The burner aeration is
factory set but may need adjusting due to either
the local gas supply or altitude.

CAUTION: Carbon will be produced if air
shutter is closed too much. (Should be
3/16"(4mm) open for natural gas and 1/2"
(13mm) for propane.)

Note: Aeration Adjustment should only

be performed by an authorized
Regency Installer at the time of
installation or service.

FIRST FIRE

The first fire in your stove is part of the paint
curing process. To ensure that the paint is
properly cured, it is recommended that you burn
your fireplace for at least four (4) hours the first
time you use it with the fan on. When first
operated, the unit will release an odour caused
by the curing of the paint, 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.

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 BURN THE APPLIANCE WITH-

OUT THE GLASS FRONT IN PLACE.

During the first few fires, a white film
may develop on the glass front as part
of the curing process. The glass should
be cleaned or the film will bake on and
become very difficult to remove. Use a
non-abrasive cleaner and NEVER clean
the glass while it is hot.

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 firebox and
body. Therefore, the varying thicknesses of
steel will expand and contract at slightly differ­ent rates which can cause "ticking" and "crack­ing" 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 fireboxes.

Blower Thermodisc:

When this thermally activated switch turns ON
it will create a small "clicking" sound. This is the
switch contacts closing and is normal.

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.

MAINTENANCE

INSTRUCTIONS

1) Always turn off the gas valve before

cleaning. For relighting, refer to lighting
instructions. Keep the burner and control
compartment clean by brushing and vacu­uming at least once a year. When cleaning
the logs, use a soft clean paint brush as the
logs are fragile and easily damaged.

2) Clean appliance and door with a damp cloth
(never when unit is hot). Never use an
abrasive cleaner. The glass should be
cleaned with a gas fireplace glass cleaner.

The glass should be cleaned when it
starts looking cloudy.

3) The heater is finished in a heat resistant
paint and should only be refinished with
heat resistant paint. Regency uses Stove­Bright Paint - Metallic Black #6309.

4) Make a periodic check of burner for proper
position and condition. Visually check the
flame of the burner periodically, making
sure the flames are steady; not lifting or
floating. If there is a problem, call an author­ized service person.

5) The appliance and venting system must be
inspected before use, and at least annual­ly, by an authorized field service person, to
ensure that the flow of combustion and
ventilation air is not obstructed.

6) Verify proper operation after servicing.

No te: Never operate the appliance with-

out the glass properly secured in
place.

The glass panel may require cleaning
after the unit has cooled down.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE
GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.

Regency P42-3 Zero Clearance Direct Vent Gas Fireplace 33

Pilot Flame:

While the pilot flame 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.

MAINTENANCE

GOLD-PLATED

LOUVERS

The 24 carat gold-plated finish on the louvers
and trim requires little maintenance, and need
only be cleaned with a damp cloth.

DO NOT use abrasive materials or chemical
cleaners, as they may harm the finish and void
the warranty.

Clean any fingerprints off before turning
the unit on.

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.
