FRAMING AND
FINISHING
1) 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.
Install Side Nailing Strips, Top Facing Support,
and Top Standoffs before unit is slipped into
position. See section "Unit Assembly Prior
to Installation" for assembly details.
2) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with
framing material. The framed opening is
37-1/4" high x 36-1/4" wide x 17-3/8" deep
(946mm high x 921mm wide x 432mm
deep).
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 of the unit must not be closer than
32" (813mm) to the ceiling.
Note: 40-1/2" (1029mm) is the minimum
height for both fl ex termination or
Simpson Dura-Vent fl ueing.
5) BARCELONA FRAMING NOTE: If
installing the optional Barcelona front, a
non-combustible material 12" (305mm)
above the unit and 6"(153mm) on each
side must be used. The Barcelona Front
also requires steel stud framing above
and on each side of the unit. See Diagram
3 in section "Combustible Mantels" and

BARCELONA INSTALLATION NOTE:
When installing the PG36D with the
Barcelona Trim into a Regency® Style 3
Mantel Kit, ensure that the combustible
mantel sides and top are 3/8" back
from the front face of the fi replace. See
Diagram 2 in section "Combustible
Mantels."
Note: The unit does not have to be
completely enclosed in a chase. The
clearance on top of the unit is 0" to
the standoffs so combustible building
materials can be laid directly on top
of the standoffs. You must maintain
1-1/2" (38mm) clearance from the
fl ue to combustible materials for fl ex
(1-1/4" for Simpson Dura-Vent ).
6) Use steel studs for framing where the
1-1/2" (38mm) clearance from the fl ue to
combustible material cannot be maintained,
e.g. front top header.

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).
Screw Facing Material
Position Depth
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.
FLUEING
INTRODUCTION
The PG36D uses the "balanced fl ue"
technology Co Axial system. The inner liner fl ues
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 fl ue system must be
fl ued directly to the outside of the building,
and never be attached to a chimney serving a
separate solid fuel or gas burning appliance.
Each Co Axial Flue gas appliance must use
it's own separate fl ue system. Common fl ue
systems are prohibited.
"C" Screw Position:
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.
Regency® PG36D Gas Log Fireplace9
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.

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 fl ueing 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) Co Axial Flue pipe and fi ttings are designed
with special twist-lock connections to
connect the fl ueing 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 Co
Axial Flue GS system.
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.
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.
b) Horizontal runs of fl ue must be supported
every three feet. Wall straps are available
for this purpose.
5) Mark the wall for a 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 square
hole in the exterior wall where the fl ue will
be terminated. If the wall being penetrated
is constructed of non-combustible material,
i.e. masonry block or concrete, a 7"(178mm)
dia. (7-1/2"(191mm) dia. for fl ex) hole is
acceptable.
Note: With
Dura-Vent,
the minimum
height is
achieved by
installing a
o
elbow
90
directly to the
Diagram 2
fl ue adaptor.
Note:
a) The horizontal run of fl ue must be level,
or have a 1/4 inch rise for every 1 foot
of run towards the termination. Never
allow the fl ue to run downward. This
could cause high temperatures and may
present the possibility of a fi re.
b) The location of the horizontal flue
termination on an exterior wall must meet
all local and national building codes,
and must not be blocked or obstructed.
For External Flue Terminal Locations,
see diagram in section "Exterior Flue
Termination Locations."
6) The arrow on the flue cap should
be pointing up. Insure that the 1-1/2"
clearances to combustible materials are
maintained. Install the termination cap,
diagram 5.
The four wood screws provided should
be replaced with appropriate fasteners for
stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of
sidings.
Diagram 3
8) Slide the appliance and fl ue assembly
towards the wall carefully inserting the
fl ue pipe into the fl ue cap assembly. It is
important that the fl ue pipe extends into
the fl ue cap suffi cient distance so as to
result in a minimum pipe overlap of 1-1/4
inches. Secure the connection between the
fl ue pipe and the fl ue cap by attaching the
two sheet metal strips extending from the
fl ue cap assembly into the outer wall of the
fl ue pipe. Use the two sheet metal screws
provided to connect the strips to the pipe
section. See Diagram 4.
9) Install wall thimble in the center of the
10" square and attach with wood screws
(Diagram 5).
Diagram 4
Note: If installing termination on a siding
covered wall, a vinyl siding standoff
or furring strips must be used to
Diagram 1
Note: Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to inner pipe
and high temperature silicone sealant
to outer pipe on every
twist-lock joint.
Regency® PG36D Gas Log Fireplace17
ensure that the termination is not
recessed into the siding.
7) Before connecting the horizontal run of
fl ue pipe to the fl ue termination, slide the
Wall Thimble (Part # 620-926) over the fl ue
pipe.
Diagram 5
Page 18
INSTALLATION
VERTICAL
TERMINATIONS
1) Maintain the 1-1/4"
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
section "Simpson Duravent Flueing" for the
maximum vertical rise of
the fl ueing system and the
maximum horizontal offset
limitations.
Diagram 1
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 fl ue 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 flue will
penetrate the
roof. Determine
if ceiling joists,
roof rafters or
other framing
will obstruct the fl ueing system. You
may wish to relocate the appliance or to
offset, as shown in Diagram 2 to avoid cutting
load bearing members.
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.
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 1-1/2". 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.
Roof Pitch Minimum Flue Height
Feet Meters
fl at to 7/12 2 0.61
over 7/12 to 8/12 2 0.61
over 8/12 to 9/12 2 0.61
over 9/12 to 10/12 2.5 0.76
over 10/12 to 11/12 3.25 0.99
over 11/12 to 12/12 4 1.22
over 12/12 to 14/12 5 1.52
over 14/12 to 16/12 6 1.83
over 16/12 to 18/12 7 2.13
over 18/12 to 20/12 7.5 2.29
over 20/12 to 21/12 8 2.44
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 fl ue 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. A poor
draft, or down drafting can result from high
wind conditions near big trees or adjoining
roof lines, in these cases, increasing the fl ue
height may solve the problem.
7) Ensure fl ue 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 twist-
locking it.
Note: Any closets or storage spaces, which
the fl ue passes through must be
enclosed.
Offset Chart
Note: Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to inner
pipe and high temperature silicone
sealant to outer pipe on every twistlock joint.
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 10 inch square hole. Frame the hole
as shown in Diagram 3 and install the
fi restop.
18
Note: If an offset is necessary in the attic
to avoid obstructions, it is important
to support the fl ue pipe every 3 feet,
to avoid excessive stress on the
elbows, and possible separation.
Wall straps are available for this
purpose (Diagram 2).

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 fl ex
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 AS5601-2004 or NZS 5261
installation code.
When using copper or fl ex connectors use only
approved fi ttings. Always provide a union so
that gas lines can be easily disconnected for
servicing. Flare nuts for copper lines and fl ex
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 fl ame for leak testing.
AERATION
ADJUSTMENT
The air shutter can be adjusted by moving the
adjusting wire up or down. The wire is accessed
through the bottom louvre opening. Open the air
shutter for a blue fl ame or close for a yellower
fl ame. The burner aeration is factory set but
may need adjusting due to either the local gas
supply or altitude. This adjustment is performed
by the gas fi tter.
GAS PIPE PRESSURE
TESTING
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 3.45 kPa (14" w.c.).
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" (# 3) and/or "OUT" (# 4)
pressure tap(s), turning counterclockwise
with a 1/8" wide fl at screwdriver.
3) Attach manometer to "IN" and/or "OUT"
pressure tap(s) using a 5/16" (8mm) ID
hose.
4) Seal and or check the pilot outlet (# 8)
5) The pressure check should be carried out
with the unit burning and the setting should
be within the limits specifi ed on the safety
label.
6) When fi nished reading manometer, turn
off the gas valve, disconnect the hose and
tighten the screw (clockwise) with a 1/8" fl at
screwdriver. Screw should be snug, but do
not over tighten.
Minimum Air Shutter Opening:
5 mm NG
6.4 mm LPG
CAUTION: Carbon will be produced if air shutter
is closed too much.
Note: Any damage due to carboning
resulting from improperly setting
the aeration controls is NOT covered
under warranty.

FIRST FIRE
The FIRST FIRE in your heater 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 you use it with the fan on.
When fi rst operated, the unit will release an
odour caused by the curing of the paint and
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. The
glass may require cleaning.
NOTE: The main burner will always start on
"HIGH" and resume it's last setting after

second fl owing across the rear of the burner (it
does not have to be touching the burner) and the
third fl ame fl owing tangent to the spark ignitor.
NOTE: If you have an incorrect fl ame pattern,
contact your Regency® dealer for further
instructions.
Rear of Burner
An incorrect fl ame pattern will have small,
probably yellow flames, not coming into
proper contact with the rear of the burner or
thermopile.
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(s) 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.

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.

fl ame of the burner periodically, making sure
the fl ames are steady; not lifting or fl oating.
If there is a problem, call an authorized
service person.

General Flue Maintenance
Conduct an inspection of the fl ueing system
semi-annually. Recommended areas to inspect
as follows:
1) Check the Flueing 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 Flue. Remove any bird nests, or
other foreign material.
3) Check for evidences of excessive
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.
5) Keep the area near the appliance clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline
and other fl ammable vapours and liquids.
