GAS CONNECTION

Only persons licensed to work with gas piping may make the necessary gas connections to this appliance.

The gas connection is a 3/8" NPT accessible on the left side of the unit. The gas line connection may be made of rigid pipe, copper pipe or an approved flex 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 flex connectors use only approved fittings.Always provide a union so that gas lines can be easily disconnected for burner or fan servicing. Flare nuts for copper lines and

flex 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 flame for leak testing.

For minimum and maximum supply pressure see the System Data table.

1)If the appliance is to be installed into an existing chimney system, thoroughly clean the masonry fireplace that has been chosen for the Regency® Gas Fireplace.

2)The appliance is provided with an opening on the left hand side of the control compartment for the gas line.

Note: During any pressure testing of the gas supplypipingsystemthatexceedstestpressures of 1/2 psig, this appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the piping system. If test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig are used then this appliance must be isolated from the piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during the testing.

CAUTION: If the glass is removed for servicing, it must be replaced prior to operating the appliance. The glass must be fixed in the closed position when operating.

INSTALLATION

WIRING DIAGRAMS

This heater does not require a 120VA.C. supply for operation. In case of a power failure, the burner switch and the optional remote control/ thermostat will continue to operate. However, a 120V A.C. power supply is needed for the fan/blower operation.

Caution: Ensure that the wires do not touch any hot surfaces and are away from sharp edges.

When connected with 120 volts, the appliance must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local

codes the current CSA C22.1 (in Canada) or with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA

70-1987 (in USA).

NOTE: This unit is equipped with a heat sensor thermodisc which will prevent the blower from operating until the unit reaches the correct temperature.
