OPTIONAL
OUTSIDE AIR
Outside air for combustion can be brought in
either through the bottom of the pedestal or
through the rear plate of the pedestal.
For both bottom and rear "outside air" the Pedestal Cover Plate must be installed. Loosen the 4
screws on the rear of the pedestal and slide the
cover plate over them. Slide the plate to the left
to center it and tighten down the 4 screws.
Outside Air Through
Pedestal Bottom
Once you have properly marked the position of
your unit as outlined in "General Information"
and "Clearances to Combustibles", cut a properly sized hole though the fl oor directly under
your pedestal base to the outside. Pipe fresh
air into the pedestal area by using appropriate
metallic duct pipe with a mesh grill at the outside
termination. Do not remove the knockout.
CAUTION: Any alteration to the product that
causes sooting or carboning or that results in
damage is not the responsibility of the manufacturer.
CLEARANCES TO
COMBUSTIBLES
The clearances listed below are MINIMUM
distances. Measure the clearance to both the
appliance and the chimney connector. (The
farthest distance is correct if the two clearances do not coincide.) For example, if the
appliance is set as indicated in one of the fi gures
but the connector is too close, move the stove
until the correct clearance to the connector is
obtained.
This unit can be installed on a solid combustible
surface like a wood fl oor. This unit can also be
installed directly on carpeting or vinyl when
the bottom pedestal cover plate (provided with
unit) is installed.
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.
Use the minimum clearances shown in the diagrams below for installation with "B" vent.
Minimum ceiling height is 36" / 914 mm from
top of unit.
If further reduced clearances are needed, obtain
requirements for construction of a protected wall
from your local building authorities and their allowable reductions of the listes clearances.
Rear View
Outside Air Through
Rear of Pedestal
Remove the blanking plate from the rear of the
pedestal cover plate and bend the two tabs
out 90 degrees. Pipe fresh air into the pedestal
area by using duct pipe with a mesh grill at the
outside termination. Attach the pipe to the tabs
with screws.

INSTALLATION
DRAFT HOOD
This heater has a draft hood built in. It must not
be altered, obstructed, or blocked in any way,
and the unit must be installed so that the draft
hood is in the same atmospheric pressure zone
as the combustion air inlet to the burner. This
heater must be properly connected to a venting system. This heater is equipped with a vent
safety shutoff system.
WARNING: Operation of this heater when
not connected to a properly installed and
maintained venting system or tampering
with the vent safety shutoff system can
result in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning
and possible death.
HIGH ELEVATION
The U38-1 (with 40,000 BTU rating) is approved
in Canada for altitude 2000 ft. to 4500 ft. (CAN/
CGA-2.17-M91) with the orifi ce kit (Part # 591-
975). For Natural Gas installations above 4500
ft. follow current CAN/CGA-B149.1.
In U.S.A., for installations above 2000 ft. refer
to current ANSI Z223.1 Sc8-8.1.2a appendix F,
for resizing orifi ce.
VENTING
This heater is a vented appliance and must be
connected to a chimney/fl ue in accordance with
the installation codes.
Note: The rear pedestal cover plate is
only required when outside air is
being used. If using room air for
combustion, remove this plate from
the back of the pedestal.
For your safety this heater is equipped with a
vent safety switch designed to sense incorrect
venting and react by shutting down the gas supply. This thermally actuated switch is located
within the draft hood and will detect either a
blocked chimney or backdraft condition where
the chimney fl ow has reversed. If this switch
shuts the unit down, it indicates a drafting
problem that must be identifi ed and rectifi ed
without delay - the thermally activated switch
must never be bypassed or disconnected as a
hazardous or deadly condition can result.
Venting Requirements
A four inch diameter vent is required. B-Vent,
Class A or Masonry with an approved liner
are all acceptable. For cosmetic or aesthetic
purposes 6" outer vent can be used as long as
an approved inner vent is installed. Fasten but
do not penetrate the inner sleeve of the B-Vent
when tightening the screw.
Follow all venting manufacturer’s requirements
and local building codes. In cold climates,
we recommend the use of insulated B-vent,
chase, and liners. For altitudes above 2000
ft. we recommend that a minimum fl ue height
of 12 ft. is used.
Vent Terminations
Installation into Existing
Woodstove Flue System
1) Clean existing Chimney system.
2) Run an approved 4" fl ex liner or "B" vent
into existing chimney.
Note:
See the chimney systems manufacturer for detailed installation
instructions.
Flue Mounting Bracket
Attach the fl ue mounting bracket with the enclosed screw as shown in the diagram.
8 Regency® U38-1 ULTIMATE Freestanding Gas Stove
INSTALLATION
GAS CONNECTION
The gas line can be rigid pipe, or to make installation easier, use a listed fl exible connector if
allowed by local codes. Copper may also be
used if approved by local codes.
The gas connection at the valve is 3/8" NPT.
For minimum and maximum supply pressure

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 1/2 psig (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" posi-
tion.
4) Light the pilot and turn the valve to "ON"
position.
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.
