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.
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.

INSTALLATION
FRAMING & FINISHING
1) Determine the total thickness of facing material (eg. 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 47-1/2" high x 48-1/2" wide x 26-1/4"
deep (1207mm H x 1232mm W x 667mm D). See Diagram 1. See
important note below when installing with any veritical venting off of
the top.
Diagram 1
Note: 43" (1092mm) is the minimum height for fl ex 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 fi replace itself.)
4) 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 clearances from the vent to combustible materials: See
"Clearances" section. 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.
IMPORTANT
When installing the unit with any vertical venting off the top of the
unit as shown, the minimum framing depth changes accordingly.

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 unit
is slipped into position.
TOP STANDOFF ASSEMBLY
The top standoffs are shipped in a fl at position
and must be folded into shape and attached.
1) Remove the standoffs from the fi replace
top.
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 replace top
line up.
3) Attach the standoff securely to the top
with 2 screws per standoff (on opposite
corners).
TOP FACING SUPPORT AND
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 3 different positions depending
on the thickness of the facing material.
Screw
Facing Material Depth
Position
A1/2" / 13mm
B7/8" / 22mm
C*1-1/4" / 32mm
* For "C" screw position the top facing support
is reversed.
1) Mount Top Facing Support using the 3
supplied screws into the three pre-punched
screw holes on the top front of the unit. Use
hole positions A, B, or C depending on your
facing depth.
"C" Screw Position:
For a facing material depth of 1-1/4" (32mm),
the top facing support must be reversed.
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.
VENTING
INTRODUCTION
The P48-2 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.

SIMPSON DURA-VENT VENTING
Horizontal or Vertical Terminations
The Simpson Dura-Vent Direct Vent 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 P48-2.
The minimum components required for a basic
horizontal termination are:
1 Horizontal Termination Cap
1 45
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
UNIT INSTALLATION
WITH HORIZONTAL
TERMINATION
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 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 fi t through the
36-5/8" (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 fl ue collar
and fasten to the outer collar only with the
3 supplied screws (drilling pilot holes will
make this easier). Level the fi replace and
fasten it to the framing using nails or screws
through the nailing strips.
Note: For best results and optimum
performance with each approved
venting system, it is highly
recommended to apply “Mill-Pac”
sealant (supplied) to every inner
pipe connection. Failure to do so
may result in drafting or performance
issues not covered under warranty.
Silicone (red RTV) is optional.
b) Horizontal runs of vent must be
supported every 3 feet (0.9meter). Wall
straps are available for this purpose.
5) 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.
If the wall being penetrated is constructed
of non-combustible material, i.e. masonry
block or concrete, a 8" (203mm) diameter
hole is acceptable.
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 # 1247) 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 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.
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 indentations,
located on the female ends of pipes and
fi ttings, are designed to slide straight
onto the male ends of adjacent pipes
and fi ttings, 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 fi ttings. They may be
located by examining the inside of the
female ends.
Diagram 1
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.
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. For
External Vent Terminal Locations, see
diagram in "Exterior Vent Termination
Locations" section.
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 6
9) Install wall thimble in the center of the 11"
(279mm) square and attach with wood
screws (Diagram 7).

WITH VERTICAL
TERMINATION
1) Maintain the 1-1/4"
(32mm) clearances
(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 aximu m 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 r o o f .
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. To install the
Firestop spacer in a fl at ceiling or wall, cut
a 11 inch (279mm) square hole. Frame the
hole as shown in Diagram 3 and install the
fi restop.
Diagram 3
Diagram 1
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:
For best results and optimum performance
with each approved venting system, it is
highly recommended to apply “Mill-Pac”
sealant (supplied) to every inner pipe connection. Failure to do so may result in drafting
or performance issues not covered under
warranty. Silicone (red RTV) is optional.
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.

over 20/12 to 21/1282.44
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 twistlocking it.
Note: Any closets or storage spaces, which
the vent passes through must be
enclosed.

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 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.
Note: To make
the installation
more aesthetically
pleasing, we
recommend framing
out a square to mount
the terminal to.
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 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
o
90
.
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.
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.

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

FIRST FIRE
DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCE
WITHOUT THE GLASS FRONT IN
PLACE.
The fi rst fi re 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 fi replace for at least four (4) hours the fi rst
time before you use it with the fan on.
When fi rst 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.
Note: Any damage due to carboning
resulting from improperly setting
the aeration controls is NOT covered
under warranty.
Adjustment Wire - Pull down to open or
push up to close aeration cap.
Closed - Tall yellow

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"
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.
Copy of the Lighting Plate Instructions
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.
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.

MAINTENANCE
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 fi replace glass cleaner.
The glass should be cleaned when it
starts looking cloudy.
3) The heater is fi nished in a heat resistant
paint and should only be refi nished 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
fl ame of the burner periodically, making sure
the fl ames are steady; not lifting or fl oating.
If there is a problem, call a qualifi ed service
person.
5) The appliance and venting system must be
inspected before use, and at least annually,
by a qualifi ed fi eld service person, to ensure
that the fl ow of combustion and ventilation
air is not obstructed.
Note: Never operate the appliance without
the glass properly secured in place.
6) Do not use this appliance if any part has been
under water. Immediately call a qualifi ed
service technician to inspect the appliance
and to replace nay part of the control system
and any gas control which has been under
water.
7) In the event this appliance has been
serviced check that the vent-air system
has been properly resealed & reinstalled
in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
8) Verify operation after servicing.
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.

the Top Louver or Grill.

through the extrusion and pull it out of the
unit.
8) Reinstall the new ones in reverse order.

LOUVERS & TRIM
The 24 carat gold-plated fi nish 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 fi nish and void
the warranty.
Clean any fi ngerprints off before turning
the unit on.
