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.

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.

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
INSTALLATION
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 system.
3) Put a bead of silicone inside the outer section
of the adapter and a bead of Fireplace 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, Dia. 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 vent must be
supported every three feet. Wall straps
are available for this purpose.
5) Mark the wall for a 10" x 10" 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 vent will be
terminated. If the wall being penetrated is
constructed of non-combustible material, i.e.
masonry block or concrete, a 7"(178mm)
diameter (7-1/2"(191mm) dia. for fl ex) hole
is acceptable.
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.
See "Exterior Vent Terminal Locations"
Section.
c)Snorkel Terminations:For installations requiring a vertical rise
on the exterior of the building, 14-inch
and 36-inch tall Snorkel Terminations
and the Riser Vent as shown in
Dia. 2 & 2a are available. Follow the
same installation procedures as used
for standard Horizontal Termination.
NEVER install the snorkel upside
down.
Diagram 2a
Below Grade Snorkel Installation
If the Snorkel Termination must be
installed below grade, i.e. basement
application, proper drainage must
be provided to prevent water from
entering the Snorkel T ermination. Refer
to Snorkel Installation instructions for
details. Do not attempt to enclose the
Snorkel within the wall, or any other
type of enclosure.
6) The arrow on the vent cap should
be pointing up. Insure that the 1-1/2"
clearances to combustible materials are
maintained (Dia. 3). Install the termination
cap. AstroCap
Horizontal Termination Caps may be
used.

NOTE: For best results and optimum
performance with each approved venting

result in drafting or performance issues not
covered under warranty. Silicone (red RTV)
is optional.

Diagram 2
*As specifi ed in CGA B149 Installation Code.
Local codes or regulations may require different
clearances.
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.
7) Before connecting the horizontal run of vent
pipe to the vent termination, slide the Wall
Thimble (Part # 620-926) over the vent
pipe.
Regency P33SE Gas Fireplace
Page 27
INSTALLATION
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.
Secure the connection between the vent
pipe and the vent cap 3 sheet metal screws.
9) Install wall thimble in the center of the
10" square and attach with wood screws
(Diagram 4).
Diagram 4
UNIT INSTALLATION
WITH VERTICAL
TERMINATION
1) Maintain the 1-1/2" 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"
Sections for the maximum
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 this
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 roof.
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 2 and install the
fi restop.
Diagram 2
Diagram 1
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 1-1/2". Slip the fl ashing
under the shingles (shingles should overlap
half the fl ashing) as per Diagram 3.
Diagram 3: 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, to
avoid excessive stress on the elbows,
and possible separation. Wall straps
are available for this purpose.
Galvanized pipe is desirable above the roof line
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 Dia. 4 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
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.
GAS LINE
INSTALLATION
The gas line is brought through the right 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.
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 CAN/CGA B149 installation code.
For USA installations follow local codes and/or the
current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
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.

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 1/2 psig.
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" and/or "OUT" pressure tap(s),
turning counterclockwise with a 1/8" wide fl at

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Read and understand these instructions
before operating this appliance.
2) Check to see that all wiring is correct and
enclosed to prevent possible shock.
3) Check to ensure there are no gas leaks.
4) Make sure the glass in the glass door frame
is properly positioned. Never operate the
appliance with the glass removed.
5) Verify that the venting and cap are
unobstructed.
6) The unit should never be turned off, and on
again without a minimum of a 60 second
wait.
FIRST FIRE
OPERATION
The FIRST FIRE in your heater is part of the paint
curing process. To ensure the paint is properly
cured, it is recommended you burn your fi replace
for at least four (4) hours the fi rst time.
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.
LIGHTING PROCEDURE
1) Turn on ON/OFF switch or press and release
on ON/OFF button once on the remote
control if being used.
2) After approximately 4 seconds the spark
ignition system will spark for 60 seconds to
light the main burner.
3) The unit will turn on.
Note: The fi rst try for ignition will last approxi-
mately 60 seconds. If there is no fl ame igni-
tion (rectifi cation) the board will stop sparking
for approximately 35 seconds. After wait time
, the board will start second try for ignition
by sparking for approximately 60 seconds .
If there is still no positive ignition the board
will go into lock out.
The system will need to be reset as follows:
a) Turn the system off using ON/OFF switch
or press ON/OFF button - if using optional
remote.
b) After approximately 2 seconds turn on ON/
OFF switch or press ON/OFF button if using
optional remote.
c) Repeat step 1.
SHUTDOWN
PROCEDURE
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.
Burner Tray:
The burner tray is positioned directly under the
burner 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. Y ou 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.
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.
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.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE
GLASS WHILE IT IS STILL HOT!
DO NOT BURN THE UNIT WITHOUT THE
GLASS DOOR IN PLACE.
During the fi rst few fi res, a white fi lm
may develop on the glass front as part of
the curing process. The glass should be
cleaned after the unit has cooled down
or the fi lm will bake on and become very
diffi cult to remove. Use a non-abrasive
cleaner and DO NOT A TTEMPT TO CLEAN
THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.
44
1) Turn ON/OFF switch or press and release
the ON/OFF button once if using optional
Remote Control.
2) If service is to be performed - you must
disconnect both sources of power to the
unit, the main power and battery.

GENERAL VENT
MAINTENANCE
Conduct an inspection of the venting system
semi-annually. 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.
