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 Top of Front Facing:

fi replace and vent system be installed only in
accordance with these instructions.

WARNING
The HeatWave Duct Kit
and the Heat Release Kit
have different clearance
and framin requirements,
check the HeatWave and
Heat Release manual for
details.
Regency® P48-2 Zero Clearance Direct Vent Gas Fireplace
INSTALLATION
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.
MANTEL LEG CLEARANCES
Combustible mantel leg clearances as per diagram:
Maximum
1-1/2" projection at 3"
minimum clearance.
Regency® P48-2 Zero Clearance Direct Vent Gas Fireplace 9
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.

Regency® P48-2 Zero Clearance Direct Vent Gas Fireplace
INSTALLATION
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
A 1/2" / 13mm
B 7/8" / 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.

INSTALLATION
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.
