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

Position of Top Facing Support

for material depth of 3/4” to 1-1/2"

Top Facing

Support

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 T op 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 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.

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.

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.
If required, attach the 2 piece #6 restrictor
using 4 screws per piece to the inside top of
the fi rebox.

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

When using Rigid Vent other than

Simpson Dura-Vent, 3 screws must be

used to secure rigid pipe to adaptor.

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.
