INSTALLATION
1) Determine the total thickness of facing material (e.g. drywall, wood
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.
NOTE: Facing material may not protrude beyond unit, otherwise the
optional accesories will not be able to be mounted to the unit.
Install Side Nailing Strips, and Top Facing
Support before unit is slipped into position.
See "Unit Assembly Prior to Installation"
Section
2) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing material.
The top of the glass door frame must not be closer than 35" (889mm)
to the ceiling.
4) Combustible material may be brought up to the top and sides of
INSTALLATION
the unit and be covered with wood, drywall, ceramic tiles, bricks,
rock or other suitable combustible fi nishing materials.
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. Y ou must maintain clearance from the vent
to combustible materials for fl ex or for Rigid Vent (Refer
to "Clearances" Section).
5) Use steel studs for framing where the 1-1/2" (38mm) clearance
from the vent to combustible material cannot be maintained.
The HeatWave Duct Kit has different
clearance and framing requirements,
check the HeatWave manual for details.
Note: When constructing the framed opening, please ensure there
is access to install the gas lines when the unit is installed.
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.)
WARNING: Failure to insulate and add vapor barriers to the inside
of the exterior wall will result in operational and performance
problems including, but not limited to: excessive condensation
on glass doors, poor fl ame package, carbon, blue fl ames etc.
These are not product related issues.

UNIT ASSEMBLY PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
The T op Facing Support, the Side Nailing Strips
and the 2 Top Standoffs must be correctly
positioned and attached to the top before the
unit is put into position.
Top Standoff Assembly
The top standoffs are shipped in a fl at position
and must be pulled up and bent into the correct
shape.
1) Remove the standoffs from on top of the
fi rebox by undoing the screws.
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 rebox top
line-up.
3) Attach the standoffs securely to the top with
4 screws per standoff.
Note: Secure the standoffs to the holes
closest to the edge of the fi rebox top.
Top Facing Support &
Side Nailing Strips
Determine the total thickness of facing material
(e.g. drywall, wood 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 various positions depending
on the thickness of the facing material.
1) Mount Top Facing Support using the 3
supplied screws into the three pre-punched
screw holes on the top front of the unit. Adjust
support to desired facing material depth.
2) Mount Side Nailing Strip using the 3
supplied screws into the three pre-punched
screw holes at the front sides of the unit.
Adjust support to desired facing material
thickness.
Top Facing
Support
For a facing material depth of
1-1/4"(32mm), the top facing
support must be reversed.

INSTALLATION
VENTING INTRODUCTION
The P33E 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.
There are 5 vent systems approved for use with the P33SE: the Regency® Direct Vent Flex System for Horizontal Terminations only and the
Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct-Temp, Amerivent Direct Vent and Security Secure Vent Systems for Horizontal and Vertical Terminations (see
following "Venting" Sections for more details).
Note: These fl ue 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.
(See "Rigid Pipe Venting System" for more details and exceptions).
NOTE: Ensure compliance with the outside vent terminal location before cutting hole as both dimensions must be met.

REGENCY® DIRECT VENT FLEX SYSTEM
Horizontal Terminations Only
This venting system, in combination with the P33SE-4 Direct Vent Gas Fireplace, have been tested and listed as a direct vent heater system by W arnock
Hersey. The location of the termination cap must conform to the requirements in the "Exterior Vent Terminal Locations" Section .
Regency® Direct Vent Flex Termination Kit (Part # 946-513) includes all the parts needed to install the P33SE-4 with a maximum run of
2 feet. If installing the P33SE-4 with a continuous vent length of more than 2 ft (.6m) to a maximum of 10 ft. (3.0m) use Kit # 946-515 (4 ft) or
946-516 (10 ft) or see "Rigid Pipe Venting Systems" Section for alternate venting arrangements.

RIGID PIPE VENTING SYSTEMS
Horizontal or Vertical Terminations
The minimum components required for a basic
horizontal termination are:
1 AstroCap Horizontal Termination Cap
1 45o Elbow
1 Rigid Pipe Adaptor
1 Wall Thimble
1 Length of pipe to suit wall thickness
INSTALLATION
(see chart)
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.
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.

WARNING:
Do not combine venting components from
different venting systems.
Exception: However, use of the the AstroCap
and FPI Riser is acceptable with all systems.
This product has been evaluated by Intertek
for using a Rigid Pipe Adaptor in conjunction
with Duravent Direct-Vent , Selkirk Direct-T emp,
Ameri Vent Direct venting and Security Secure
Vent systems. Use of these systems with the
Rigid Pipe adaptor is deemed acceptable
and does not affect the Intertek WHI listing of
components.
When using Rigid Vent other than
Simpson Dura-Vent, 3 screws must be
used to secure rigid pipe to adaptor.
