distance is correct if the two clearances
do not coincide. For example, if the appliance
is set as indicated in one of the diagrams but the
connector is too close, move the stove until the
correct clearance to the connector is obtained.
This appliance may be installed only with the
clearances as shown in the situations pictured.
Do not combine clearances from one type
of installation with another in order to
achieve closer clearances.
This unit can be installed on a solid combustible
surface like a wood floor. This unit can also be
installed directly on carpeting or vinyl when the
bottom pedestal cover plate (provided with unit
) is installed.
Use the minimum clearances shown in the
diagrams below:
U37-NG & U37-LP Clearances
A Side Wall to Unit7-1/2" / 190 mm

VENTING
INSTALLATION
PRECAUTIONS
The Regency Direct Vent System and the Vertical Termination with the Co-linear Flex System
are engineered products that have been designed and tested for use with the U37-NG, and
U37-LP . The Regency warranty will be voided
and serious fire, health or other safety hazards
may result from any of the following actions:
1) Installation of any damaged Direct Vent
component
2) Unauthorized modification of the Direct Vent
System
3) Installation of any component part not manufactured or approved by Regency Industries Ltd.
4) Installation other than as instructed by Regency Industries Ltd.
Warning: Always maintain required
clearances (air spaces) to nearby
combustibles to prevent a fire hazard. Do not fill air spaces with insulation.
The minimum clearance requirements between
the outer wall of the vent pipe and nearby
combustible surfaces is 1-1/4 inch. Be sure to
check the vent termination clearance requirements from decks, windows, soffits, gas regulators, air supply inlets and public walkways
as specified on page 7 and in your local building
codes.
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 its
own separate vent system. Common vent systems are prohibited.
SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS FOR
THE INSTALLER
1) Wear gloves and safety glasses for pro-
tection.
2) Exercise extreme caution when using ladders or on roof tops.
3) Be aware of electrical wiring locations in
walls and ceilings.
PLANNING YOUR VENTING INSTALLATION
See page 7 for Exterior Vent Termination
requirements. .
When planning your installation, it will be necessary to select the proper length of vent pipe
for your particular requirements. Determine the
minimum clearance to combustibles from the
rear of the unit to the wall. It is also important to
note the wall thickness. Before cutting the vent
hole through the wall ensure that ALL vent and
termination clearances (see page 7) will be met.
NOTE: Ensure compliance with the outside vent terminal location before cutting hole as both dimensions must be met.
*If this is an outside corner, the minimum distance between the vent and the outside corner
is 12" (30cm). See "F" on the diagram on page 7.
For corner installation, Restrictor must
be set at 1-1/4" open.
For straight rear installation, Restrictor must be set at 1-1/8" open.
