VENTING
INTRODUCTION
The DV Stove Horizontal Vent Kit and the
Simpson Dura-Vent Direct Vent System Model
DV-GS venting systems, in combination with
the ULTIMATE Direct Vent Freestanding Gas
Stove, U39-NG, and U39-LP , have been tested
and listed as direct vent heater systems by
Warnock Hersey. If converting a Class-A Metal
Chimney or Masonry Chimney to a Direct Vent
system, see instructions on pages 19 to 21.
These units use the "balanced flue" technology
Co-Axial system. The inner liner vents products
of combustion to the outside while the outer
pipe 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.
Note: These flue pipes must not be con-
nected 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.
IMPORTANT
Read all instructions carefully before starting
the installation. Failure to follow these instructions may create a fire or other safety hazard,
and will void the warranty. Be sure to check the
venting and clearance to combustible requirements. Consult your local building codes before
beginning installation.
The location of the termination cap must conform to the requirements in the Exterior Vent
Terminal Locations diagram on page 8.
A) Cross Corner
B) Room Divider
C) Island
D) Flat on Wall
E) Flat on Wall Corner
F) Flush with Wall/ Alcove
For Vent Termination requirements, see page 8.

DV STOVE HORIZONTAL VENT KIT (# 946-116 & #946-216) INSTALLATION
Review the following sequence of instructions which are typical of most installations. The sequence may vary depending on wall thickness. Refer to
vent location and clearance dimensions on pages 8 to 13.
1) Set the unit in its desired location.
Check to determine if wall studs will
be in the way of the venting system,
adjust location until all clearances are
met and there are no obstructions.
Note: A 1-1/2"(38mm) clearance
around the outer pipe must
be maintained except that
only a 1" (25mm) clearance is
needed at the termination
end.
IMPORTANT:
Do not locate termination hood
where excessive snow or ice buildup may occur. Be sure to check vent
termination area after snow falls,
and clear to prevent accidental
blockage of venting system. When using
snow blowers, make sure snow is not
directed towards vent termination area.
2) Assemble a trial fit to determine the vertical
center-line for the vent termination.
a) Cut a 9-1/2" x 9-1/2" (241mm x 241
mm) square hole on both the interior
and exterior wall.
b) Install wall thimbles on both interior
and exterior wall with 4 wood screws
(#8 x 1") per thimble.
c) Attach the 2 piece adjustable pipe
section to the vent terminal and slide
into position from the exterior. The
larger diameter end of the adjustable pipe goes to the vent
terminal.
Minimum Installation Height:
U39: 59-3/4" ( 1518mm)
d) Install the 90o elbow onto the adjust-
able pipe to determine the vertical
centerline of the starter collar on the
unit.
Regency U39 ULTIMATE Direct Vent Freestanding Gas Stove

Page 14
INSTALLATION
Note: if the centerline cannot be
met, the adjustable sections will
have to be cut.
e) Cut the 2 ft. or 4 ft. section of rigid pipe
to length. Ensure that the pipe length
when cut will seat onto both the starter collar and the 90o elbow. Crimped
section of rigid pipe seats into
the 90o elbow. Only cut the uncrimped side of pipe.
Dismantle all pipe sections including vent
terminal.
3) Attach the 4" dia. flex liner to the vent
terminal ensuring that the flex overlaps the
collar of the vent terminal by a minimum of
1-3/8"(35mm). Use Mill-Pac to seal and
secure with 3 of the #8 x 1/2" screws
(stainless steel).
4) Attach the adjustable pipe section to the
vent terminal using Mill-Pac and/or high
temperature silicone and attach with 3 of
the #8 x 1/2" screws (stainless steel).
Hint: Apply the sealant (Mill-Pac and/or high
temperature silicone) to the outer pipe before connecting the inner pipe.
Note: The pipe
seam
should be
facing
down.
Note: To make
the installation
more aesthetically pleasing, we
recommend framing out a square
that the cap can be
mounted on.
Note: If installing termi-
nation 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. For vinyl siding standoff installation refer to the DuraVent Termination instructions.
5) Slide the partially connected pipe and vent
terminal assembly through the wall thimbles (from the exterior into the interior) and
secure the cap to the exterior wall with 4
of the supplied screws (#8 x 1-1/2" drill
point, stainless steel). Note: pilot holes will
need to be drilled through the wall thimble
on all 4 corners.
Note: The four screws provided for the
vent cap should be replaced with
appropriate fasteners for stucco,
brick, concrete, or other types of
sidings.
6) A bead of non-hardening mastic should be
run around both the termination and vinyl
siding standoff to prevent water from entering and to make a tight seal between the
cap and the standoff.
7) Stretch the 4" dia. flex liner out fully and get
a trial fit of the liner onto the 4" dia. starter
collar.
8) Cut the 4" dia. flex liner to the desired size.
Hint: leave an extra 12" to 16" of length, this
will make the final assembly easier to work
with.
9) Secure the 4" dia. flex liner to the 4" adapter
with Mill-Pac and 3 of the #8 x 1/2" screws
(stainless steel).
10)Slide the decorative Thimble Cover over the
pipe sections and secure with 4 screws
(#8 x 1-1/2" drill point, black) to the wall.
11)Slide the 90o elbow (crimp end up) and the
2 ft. or 4 ft. pipe section (crimp end up) over
the 4" dia. flex liner.
12)Slide the trim collar over the adjustable pipe
sections to cover the joint of the telescopic
section.
13)Install the spring spacers onto the pipe
sections.
14)Secure the 4" dia. flex liner with adapter
onto the stove collar. Put a bead of Mill-Pac
around the appliance adapter and secure
with 3 screws (#8 x 1/2, stainless steel).
15)Attach the pipe section onto the starter
collar by sealing with Mill-Pac and/or high
temperature silicone and securing with 3 of
the #8 x 1/2" (black) screws. Pipe seams
should be facing the wall.
16)Attach the 90o elbow onto the pipe section
by sealing with Mill-Pac and/or high temperature silicone and securing with 3 of the #8
x 1/2" screws (black).
17)Slide the adjustable pipe section onto the
90o elbow. The flex may have to be compressed back in order for the adjustable
pipe to properly mate to the elbow. Seal
with Mill-Pac and/or high temperature silicone and secure with 3 of the #8 x 1/2"
screws (black). Pipe seams facing down.
18)Install the trim collar over the starter collar
and secure with a #8 x 1/2" screw (black).
If the pipe needs to be touched up, use only
Stove Brite High Temperature Metallic Black
Stove Paint.
NOTE: All inner joints must be sealed
with Mill-Pac.
All outer joints may be sealed with
high temperature silicone.

INSTALLATION
DURA-VENT
TERMINATION KIT
Planning Your Dura-Vent
Installation
There are two basic types of Dura-Vent Direct
Vent System installations: horizontal termination and vertical termination. Confirm the maximum horizontal run and maximum vertical rise
from the diagrams on pages 8-13.
When planning your installation, it will be necessary to select the proper length of vent pipe
for your particular requirements. For horizontal
installations, determine the minimum clearance
from the rear of the unit to the wall. It is also
important to note the wall thickness. (The wall
thimble is suitable for 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 wall
construction.) Select the amount of vertical rise
desired for "vertical-to-horizontal" type installations.
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 in the Exterior Vent Terminal Locations on page 8 and in your local building codes.
Note: These are the minimum pieces
required. Other parts may be required for your particular installation. See page 13 for a list of vent
parts.
If installing termination on a siding covered wall,
a vinyl siding standoff or furring strips can be
used in order to ensure that the termination is
not recessed into siding.
The vinyl siding standoff is required for walls
with vinyl siding.

To determine the length of vent pipe required for
vertical installations, measure the distance from
the unit flue outlet to the ceiling, the ceiling
thickness, the vertical rise in an attic or second
storey, and allow for sufficient vertical height
above the roof line.
For multi-storey applications, fire stops are
required at each floor level. If an offset is
needed, additional pipe, elbows and supports
will be required.

INSTALLATIONS
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.
2) Direct Vent pipe and fittings are designed
with special twist-lock connections to connect the venting system to the appliance
flue outlet. A twist-lock appliance adaptor is installed on the
unit at the factory. Assemble
the desired combination of pipe and elbows
to the appliance adaptor with pipe seams
oriented towards the
wall or ceiling, as much
out of view as possible. The final positioning of the pipe
and 90o elbow
assembly is determined by the
mounting orientation of the
adaptor on the stove and twist-locked for
a solid connection.
Note:
a) Twist-lock procedure: Four indenta-
tions, located on the female ends
of pipes and fittings, are designed to
slide straight onto the male ends of
adjacent pipes and fittings, by orienting
the four pipe indentations so they match
and slide in to the four entry slots on the
male ends (diagram 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 fittings.
They may be located by examining the
inside of the female ends. Apply sealant
"Mill-Pac" to inner pipe and high temp
silicone sealant to outer pipe on every
twist-lock joint.
Hint: Apply
silicone to female
end.
Diagram 1
b) Horizontal runs of vent must be sup-
ported every three feet. Wall straps
are available for this purpose.
3) With the pipe attached to the stove, slide
the stove into its correct location, and mark
the wall for a 10" x 10" (inside dimensions)
square hole. The center of the square hole
should line up with the centerline of the
horizontal pipe, as shown in diagram 2. 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" diameter
hole is acceptable.
Diagram 2
Note:
a) The horizontal run of vent should 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 fire.
b) The location of the horizontal vent ter-
mination on an exterior wall must meet
all local and national building codes,
and must not be blocked or obstructed.
For External Vent Terminal Locations,
see diagram on page 8.
c) Snorkel Terminations:
For installations requiring a vertical rise
on the exterior of the building, 14-inch
and 36-inch tall Snorkel Terminations
as shown in Dia. 3 are available, as well
as the standard Riser Vent, see Dia. 3a.
Follow the same installation procedures
as used for standard Horizontal Termination. NEVER install the snorkel upside down.
*Dia 3, 3a & 4: As specified
in CGA B149 Installation
Code. Local codes or regulations may require different clearances.

INSTALLATION
Below Grade 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 Termination. Refer to
Dia. 4. Do not attempt to enclose the Snorkel
within the wall, or any other type of enclosure.
Diagram 4
4) If installing the vent termination to a wall
with vinyl siding, the Vinyl Siding Standoff
must be used. Attach the Vinyl Siding
Standoff to the Horizontal Vent Termination, but first run a bead of non-hardening
mastic around its outside edges, so as to
make a seal between vent cap and the
standoff. Install the Vinyl Siding Standoff
(Part # 950) between the vent cap and the
exterior wall and attach with the four wood
screws provided. Seal around the Vinyl
Siding Standoff on all four sides. Diagram
5. The arrow on the vent cap should
be pointing up. Insure that the 1-1/4"
clearances to combustible materials are
maintained. See diagram 5.
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. The four wood screws provided
should be replaced with appropriate fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete, or other
types of sidings.
5) Before connecting the horizontal run of
vent pipe to the vent termination, slide the
black decorative wall thimble cover over
the vent pipe, then slide the Wall Thimble
(Part # 942) over the vent pipe.
6) 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 a sufficient 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 by attaching the two
sheet metal strips extending from the vent
cap assembly into the outer wall of the vent
pipe. Use the two sheet metal screws
provided to connect the strips to the pipe.
Bend any remaining portion of the sheet
metal strip back towards the vent cap, so
it will be concealed by the decorative wall
thimble cover. See diagram 6.
DURA-VENT VERTICAL
TERMINATION
1) Maintain the 1-1/4" clear-
ances (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 page 9 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 flue exit, and
mark the location where
the vent will penetrate the
ceiling. Drill a small hole at
his 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. Determine if ceiling joists, roof
rafters or other framing will obstruct the
venting system. You may wish to relocate
the appliance or to offset, as shown in
diagram 9 to avoid cutting load bearing
members.
Diagram 8
Diagram 6
7) Install the Wall Thimble in the center of the
10" square and attach with wood screws.
8) Slide the decorative wall thimble up to the
wall surface being careful not to scratch
the paint and attach with screws provided.
Apply decorative brass or chrome trim if
desired. See diagram 7.

Page 18
INSTALLATION
4) Assemble the desired lengths of black pipe
and elbows necessary to reach from the
appliance adaptor up though the Round
Support Box. Insure that all pipes and
elbow connections are in the fully twistlocked position and sealed.
5) Cut a hole in the roof centred on the small
drilled hole placed in the roof in Step 2. The
hole should be of sufficient size to meet the
minimum requirements for clearance to
combustibles of 1-1/4". Slip the flashing
under the shingles (shingles should overlap half the flashing) as per diagram 11.
Diagram 11: The upper half of the flashing is
installed under the roofing 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. See diagram 7.
Galvanized pipe and elbows may be utilized in the attic as well as above the
roofline. The galvanized finish is desirable
above the roofline due to its higher corrosion resistance.
Continue to add pipe sections through the
flashing until the height of the vent cap
meets the minimum height requirements
specified in diagram 12 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.

over 20/12 to 21/12 8 2.44
7) Ensure vent is vertical and secure the base
of the flashing to the roof with roofing rails,
slide storm collar over the pipe section and
seal with a mastic.
8) Install the vertical termination cap by twist
locking it.
Notes:
a) For multistorey vertical installations, a
Ceiling Fire stop (Part # 963) is required
at the second floor, and any subsequent floor. Diagram 13. The opening
should be framed to 10 " x 10" inside
dimensions, in the same manner as
shown in diagram 10.
Diagram 13
Offset Chart
b) Any occupied areas above the first floor,
including closets and storage spaces,
through which the vertical vent passes,
must be enclosed.
CATHEDRAL CEILINGS
Round Support (RDS) &
Square Support (SQS)
If your home has a cathedral ceiling (no attic
space between the ceiling and the roof), install
the chimney and support as follows.
1) Situate the chimney in a convenient location
as near as possible to the appliance outlet.
Cut and frame a hole in the roof for the
support. The sides of this hole must be
vertical with 1 1/4" clearance.
2) Place the support in the opening. Lower it
to the correct height as determined by the
table and diagram below.

INSTALLATION
Using a level, make sure the support is
vertical. If the support extends above the
roof, cut it flush with the top of the roof. Nail
the support to the frame opening using (8)
3" spiral nails or #8 x 1-1/2" screws.
Note: If you are using a 6" square sup-
port you may find it difficult to
screw it in place because it is fairly
small inside.
Simpson Dura-Vent has provided angle
brackets with this support which can be
screwed to the outside of the support box
and nailed to surrounding framing as required. Use a minimum of four #8 x 1/2"
screws per bracket. In some cases these
brackets may need to be trimmed (e.g.: to
fit under a flashing). Place the Finish Collar
around the support and fasten it to the
ceiling using the screws provided.
3) Use appropriate roof flashing. Place the
flashing under the upper shingles and on
top of the lower shingles approximately
half of the flashing should be under the
shingles.
4) Assemble the desired lengths of Black Pipe
and Elbows necessary to reach from the
appliance adaptor up through the support
box and flashing to proper height as per Dia.
12, local codes or page 11. Ensure that all
pipe and elbow connections are in their
fully twist lock position.
5) Ensure vent is vertical and secure flashing
to the roof with roofing nails. Slide the
storm collar over the pipe section and seal
with a mastic.
6) Twist lock the vent cap on to the last
section.
Support Extensions - Round
(RDSE) or Square (SQSE)
Steep pitched cathedral ceilings may require
the use of a support extension. This piece fits
down inside the support and can be adjusted
to increase the support's length by up to 22".
The extension is attached to the support using
the eight metal screws provided. Be sure there
is at least a 2 inch overlap where the extension
joins the support.
CONVERTING A
CLASS-A METAL
CHIMNEY OR
MASONRY CHIMNEY
T O A DIRECT VENT
SYSTEM
General
There are two different types of direct vent
conversion systems listed below. Follow the
appropriate directions for your installation.
A) Through an existing factory built metal chim-
ney going through the ceiling: A typical
conversion of this type is shown in diagram
1. The concept of direct vent conversion is
to connect an adaptor to an Underwriters
Laboratories (UL) listed 4 inch diameter
aluminum flex pipe which is then passed
down through the center of the existing
metal chimney system. Three sizes of Top
Adaptors are available from Simpson DuraVent. The Retro Connector (909B) is attached to the bottom of the flex pipe. The Top
Adaptor and the Retro Connector are attached to the existing chimney with sheet
metal screws. The appliance is then connected to the chimney with appropriate
black direct vent pipe and an adjustable
length section.
B) Through the wall of an existing masonry
chimney: A typical conversion of an existing masonry chimney is shown in Diagram
6. A Top Adaptor (985K) and Flashing are
used at the top of the masonry chimney. The
4 inch aluminum liner is connected to the
adaptor and is passed down the chimney
and out through the masonry wall and
attached to the Retro Connector (909B).
The Retro Connector is attached to the
masonry wall and then connected to the
direct vent pipe leading to the appliance.
Prior to installation and connection of the
vent system to a factory-built or masonry
chimney, the chimney must be inspected
and thoroughly cleaned by a qualified
service person, such as a certified chimney sweep or home inspection service.
If the appliance shuts off during operation, contact a qualified service person to
determine if a negative pressure and/or
leaky chimney condition exists. Do not
operate the appliance until the problem
is corrected.
Approved for US Installations Only
The use of an existing chimney as an air
intake is not covered under the ANSI
Z21.88b-1999, CSA 2.33b-M99 test methods and the resulting ITS/WHI product
certification. The code Authority Having
Jurisdiction must be consulted prior to
proceeding with this installation method.
Converting a Factory Built Metal
Chimney
1) Remove the existing chimney cap.
2) Measure the distance from the top end of
the chimney to the bottom of the ceiling
support box, add 3" (76mm) to this measurement, and cut a section of the 4" flex pipe
to that length (the flex should already be
extended to its nominal length).
The direct vent system must not be connected to a damaged factory-built or masonry chimney.
For factory built, zero clearance, and masonry chimneys cleanout doors and caps
or plugs for cleanout tee fittings and ash
dumps shall be secured in place and
sealed before installing a Direct Vent system within the chimney.

3) Connect the end of the
flex pipe section to the
underside of the Top
Adaptor using 3 sheet
metal screws.

INSTALLATION
4) Pass the flex pipe down through the center
of the chimney system, and center the
adaptor on the top of the chimney pipe. Drill
four 1/8" diameter holes through the adaptor and into the chimney top. Insure that you
are in fact, drilling into the metal on the
chimney. Twist-lock the Termination Cap
(Part# 980 or 991) onto the Adaptor. (Diagram 3 and 4).
Diagram 3
Diagram 4
5) Pull the flex pipe down through the ceiling
support box, until it protrudes approximately 3" (76mm). Connect the flex pipe to the
Retro Connector by slipping it into the
4-3/4" diameter sleeve on the top side of the
Connector. Use 3 sheet metal screws to
assemble these two parts.
6) Push the flex pipe back up into the ceiling
support box, center the Retro Connector,
and attach it to the support box, or decorative sleeve for double wall solid packed
pipe, with the sheet metal screws (supplied). The holes in the Retro Connector are
pre-punched. Diagram 5.
Converting a Masonry Chimney
Important: The existing masonry flue
opening needs to have an area of at least
a 36 sq. in. to insure proper intake/exhaust flow.
1) Before cutting any holes, assemble the
desired sections of black direct vent pipe to
determine the center of the masonry penetration.
Diagram 6
2) Once the center point of the penetration has
been determined, cut a 6" (152mm) dia. hole
in the masonry. Be careful, if the hole is too
large, the Retro Connector might not mount
properly, and if the hole is too small, then the
appliance might starve for intake air. If there
is a frame wall in front of the masonry wall,
cut and frame a 10" (254mm) clear square
opening in the wall (centered around the 6"
(152mm) masonry opening). IF there is
sheet rock only (no studs) in front of the
masonry, the 10" (254mm) clear opening is
still needed, but does not need to be framed.
This allows the Retro Connector to mount
directly on the masonry and provide clearance to the combustibles. Diagram 11.
Diagram 7
4) To determine the length of flex required,
measure from 3" (76mm) above the top of
the Flashing down to the level of the opening. Add to this measurement the distance
from the center of the chimney to out through
the wall. Cut a piece of 4" flex to this length
(the flex should already be extended to its
nominal length).
5) Connect the 4" flex liner to the Top Adaptor
(Part # 985K) using 3 sheet metal screws.
Diagram 2.
6) Feed the 4" flex liner through the Flashing
into the chimney. Continue to feed the liner
out through the opening in the masonry
wall.
7) Secure the Top Adaptor to the Flashing.
Use 3 sheet metal screws through the side
of the adaptor into the flange on the Flashing
(diagram 8). Twist lock the Termination Cap
(Part # 980 or 991) on to the Top Adaptor.
Diagram 8
Diagram 5
7) The connection between the appliance and
the Retro Connector may be completed
with sections of black direct vent pipe,
together with an adjustable length.

3) Secure the Flashing (Part # 705C) to the top
of the masonry chimney using a bead of
non-hardening sealant-adhesive. If the
Flashing is larger than the top of the chimney, then cut and fold flashing as needed
to fit chimney. Diagram 7.
Regency U39 ULTIMATE Direct Vent Freestanding Gas Stove
8) Attach the flex to the Retro Connector. Use
3 sheet metal screws to attach the flex liner
to the Connector. Diagram 9. Mount the
Retro Connector to the masonry wall using
masonry bolts. Re-drill larger holes on connector as needed. Be careful to insure that
the connector is centered in the opening
and the mounting holes line up with the
masonry wall.

9) Slide the Wall Thimble Cover (Part # 940)
over the Retro Connector and secure with
masonry bolts. Diagram 10. If you have a
framed wall in front of the masonry, use
wood screws to mount the Wall Thimble
Cover to the framed wall, over the Retro
Connector and the 10" (254mm) square
framed opening. Diagram 11. If needed, add
a section of direct vent pipe to the Retro
Connector in order to extend through the
opening in the Wall Thimble Cover.

GAS CONNECTION
The gas connection is a 3/8" NPT 90o elbow. The
gas line can be rigid pipe or to make installation
easier, use a listed flexible connector and/or
copper tubing if allowed by local codes. Since
some municipalities have additional local codes
it is always best to consult with your local
authorities and the CAN/CGA B149 installation
codes.
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 and/or valve 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.
Note: Prior to any pressure testing of
the gas supply piping system that
exceeds test pressures of 1/2 psig,
this appliance 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.

FIRST FIRE
The FIRST FIRE in your stove is part of the paint
curing process. To ensure that the paint is
properly cured, it is recommended that you
burn your fireplace for at least four (4) hours
the first time you use it with the fan on. When
first 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.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE
GLASS WHILE IT IS STILL HOT!
OPERA TING
INSTRUCTIONS
Before operating this appliance, proceed
through the following check list.
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 three pieces of door glass
are properly positioned. Never operate the
appliance with any of the glass removed or
with the door open.
5) Verify that all venting and the cap is unobstructed.
6) Verify log placement. If the pilot cannot be
seen when lighting the unit - the logs or the
embers have been incorrectly positioned.
7) The unit should never to turned off and on
without a minimum of a 60 second wait.
2) Push in PILOT knob slightly and turn clockwise to off. Knob cannot be turned from
pilot to off unless knob is pushed in slightly. Do not force.
3) Wait five minutes to allow gas, that may
have accumulated in the main burner compartment, to escape. If you smell gas, follow

OPERA TING
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 nor-
mal operating sounds and should
not be considered as defects in your

Blower:
Regency gas appliances use high tech
blowers to push heated air farther into
the room. It is not unusual for the fan to
make a "whirring" sound when ON. This
sound will increase or decrease in volume depending on the speed setting of
your fan speed control.
Burner Tray:
The burner tray is positioned directly
under the burner tube(s) and logs and is
made of a different gauge material from
the rest of the firebox and body. Therefore, the varying thicknesses of steel
will expand and contract at slightly different rates which can cause "ticking"
and "cracking" sounds. You 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 fireboxes.
AUTOMATIC
CONVECTION FAN
OPERA TION
The fan operates automatically - turn the knob
on the pedestal control panel to adjust to the
desired speed. The fan will turn on as the stove
comes up to operating temperature. After the
unit has been turned off and cools to below a
useful heat output range the fan will shut off
automatically.
28
ADJUSTING FLAME
HEIGHT
Your heater has an adjustable flame to tailor the
look and heat output to your specific needs. It
is adjusted by turning the flame adjustment dial
on the gas control valve.
Turn clockwise to adjust
the flame
higher, counterclockwise
for a lower
flame.
Regency U39 ULTIMATE Direct Vent Freestanding Gas Stove
Blower Thermodisc:
When this thermally activated switch
turns ON it will create a small "clicking"
sound. This is the switch contacts closing and is normal.
Pilot Flame:
While the pilot flame 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.

MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Always turn off the valve before cleaning.
For relighting, refer to lighting instructions.
Keep the burner and control compartment
clean by brushing and vacuuming at least
once a year. When cleaning the logs, use
a soft clean paint brush as the logs are
fragile and easily damaged.
2) Clean glass (never when unit is hot), appliance, louvers, and door with a damp cloth.
Never use an abrasive cleaner. The gold
louvers (and optional gold door) may be
scratched if abrasives are used to clean
them.
The heater is finished in a heat resistant
paint and should only be refinished with
heat resistant paint (not with wall paint).
Regency uses StoveBright Paint - Metallic
Black #6309.
3) Make a periodic check of burner for proper
position and condition. Visually check the
flame of the burner periodically, making
sure the flames are steady; not lifting or
floating. If there is a problem, call a qualified
service person.
4) Caution: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors
can cause improper and dangerous operation.
5) The appliance and venting system must be
inspected before use, and at least annually,
by a qualified field service person, to ensure that the flow of combustion and ventilation air is not obstructed.
During the annual service call, the burners
should be removed from the burner tray and
cleaned. Replace the embers but do not
block the pilot.
6) Keep the area near the appliance clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline,
and other flammable vapours and liquids.
WARNING: CHILDREN AND
ADULTS SHOULD BE ALERTED TO
THE HAZARDS OF HIGH SURFACE
TEMPERATURE AND SHOULD
STAY AWAY TO AVOID BURNS OR
CLOTHING IGNITION. YOUNG
CHILDREN SHOULD BE CAREFULLY SUPERVISED WHEN THEY ARE
IN THE SAME ROOM AS THE APPLIANCE.
DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE IF
ANY PART HAS BEEN UNDER WATER. IMMEDIATELY CALL A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN TO
INSPECT THE APPLIANCE AND
TO REPLACE ANY PART OF CONTROL SYSTEM AND ANY GAS
CONTROL WHICH HAS BEEN
UNDER WATER.
CAUTION: ANY SAFETY SCREEN
OR GUARD REMOVED FOR SERVICING AN APPLIANCE MUST BE
REPLACED PRIOR TO OPERATING THE APPLIANCE.
CLOTHING OR OTHER FLAMMABLE MATERIAL SHOULD NOT BE
PLACED ON OR NEAR THE APPLIANCE.
7) Each time the appliance is lit, it may cause
condensation and fog the glass. This condensation and fog is normal and will disappear in a few minutes as the glass heats up.
Never operate the appliance without
the glass properly secured in place or
with the door open.
8) Periodically check the pilot flames. Correct
flame pattern has three strong blue flames:
1 flowing around the thermopile and 1
around the thermocouple, and 1 flowing
across the rear of the burner (it does not
have to be touching the burner).
Note: If you have an incorrect flame pat-
tern, contact your Regency dealer
for further instructions.
Top View of pilot flame
Incorrect flame pattern will have small, probably yellow flames, not coming into proper contact with the rear of the burner or thermopile.

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 flashlight
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 fittings.
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 fittings have been disturbed, and consequently loosened. Also check mechanical
supports such as Wall Straps, or plumbers'
tape for rigidity.
GOLD-PLATED DOORS
The 24 carat gold plated finish on the door
requires little maintenance, and need only be
cleaned with a damp cloth. DO NOT use
abrasive materials or chemical cleaners, as
they may harm the finish and void the warranty.
Clean any fingerprints off before turning the
unit on. If the door starts to discolour,
check the gasket seal and replace if necessary.

MAINTENANCE
LOG REPLACEMENT
The unit should never be used with broken logs.
Turn off the gas valve and allow the unit to cool
before opening door to carefully remove the
logs. The pilot light generates enough heat to
burn someone. If for any reason a log should
need replacement, you must use the proper
replacement log. The position of these logs
must be as shown in the diagram under Log
Installation.
Note: Improper positioning of logs may
create carbon build-up and will alter the unit’s performance which
is not covered under warranty.
DOOR GASKET
If the door gasket requires replacement use 7/
8" diameter oval door gasket (Part # 650-920).
LATCH ADJUSTMENT
The door latch may require adjustment as the
door gasket material compresses after a few
fires and after glass replacement. Turn the
adjustable catch to tighten or loosen the latch.
Note: Wearing gloves will protect your hands
while handling glass.
Panel Glass Replacement
1) Remove the door from the unit and place on
a soft surface to prevent scratching.
2) Pull out the door gasket.
3) Remove the nuts holding the glass retainers
in place.
4) Remove the glass retainers (sides, top and
bottom) and the door catch plate.
5) Replace the glass. The glass must have
gasketing around it.
6) Reverse the previous steps, replace the
retainers and fasten with the nuts but do not
overtighten, as this can break the glass.
Note: the door catch plate fits on top of the
left side retainer.
7) Put gasket glue on the retainers, but do not
put glue on the screws. Replace the door
gasket, the two ends butt tight together on
the bottom edge of the door.
8) Replace door on the stove and check the
seal.
Mitred Glass Replacement
Removing Glass
1) Remove the door from the unit and place on
a soft surface to prevent scratching.
2) Pull out the door gasket.
3) Remove the 24 nuts holding the glass
retainers in place. Do not remove the nuts
underneath the retainers.
4) Remove the door catch plate.
5) Remove glass retainers on sides first (3
each side) then remove two center retainers.
Note: Center glass retainers are glued
to center glass.
6) Remove glass from extrusions. When re-
moving center glass, leave white insulation in place.
GLASS
REPLACEMENT
Your ULTIMATE stove is supplied with high
temperature, 5 mm Neoceram ceramic glass
that will withstand the highest heat that your
unit will produce. In the event that you break
your glass by impact, purchase your replacement door from an authorized Regency dealer
only, and follow our step-by-step instructions
for replacement. The glass is not sold separately, as it must be properly sealed in the door
frame.

FAN MAINTENANCE
If your fan requires maintenance or replacement, access to the fan is through the plate on
the rear wall of the firebox. NOTE: the unit
MUST NOT be operated without the fan
access panel securely in place and correctly sealed.
IMPORTANT: These fans collect a lot of
dust from within your home. Ensure you maintain these fan motors on a regular basis by vacuuming out the fan squirrel cages,
around the motor, and around the
grills on the back of the stove.
IMPORTANT
Disconnect power supply
before servicing
To remove U39 fan:
1) Unplug or disconnect power source to
stove.
2) Remove all logs and the rear log support,
then remove the 10 screws holding the
access panel in place.
3) Unclip the black and white wires from the
fan motor.
4) Open both side doors and gently pull the
flex pipe away from the center, otherwise
the fan can catch on the flex pipe during
installation and tear the pipe. Do not tear or
damage the flex pipe.
Alternate Fan Access:
If the rear access cover is
accessible, it can be removed
to provide access to the fan.
Replacing U39 Fan:
Reverse the above steps (1 - 5). If necessary
install a new gasket before replacing the fan
access panel. Make sure the fan wires and the
ground wire are reattached.
Hint for pushing fan down onto pins - rub a bit
of dish soap on the grommet so it will slide more
easily onto the pin. Check to make sure the fan
is seated properly on the pins - try to move the
fan back and forth, there should be no noise,
if there is check that the grommets haven't
come loose.
WARNING:
Electrical Grounding Instructions
This appliance is equipped with a
three pronged (grounding) plug
for your protection against shock
hazard and should be plugged
directly into a properly grounded
three-prong receptacle. Do not cut
or remove the grounding prong
from this plug.
5) Lift fan off of the 2 pins, tip back and pull
through firebox opening. Disconnect the
green ground wire from the right side of the
fan as soon as you can reach it.
