SAFETY LABEL This is a copy of the label that accompanies each P42 Zero Clearance Direct Vent Gas Fireplace. We have printed a copy of the con- tents here for your review. The safety label is located on the front inside base of the unit, visible when the bottom louver is open. NOTE: Regency units are constantly being improved. Check the label on the unit and if there is a difference, the label on the unit is the correct one.
INSTALLATION IMPORTANT: SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS The P42-NG/P42-LP Direct Vent Fireplace must be installed in accordance with these instructions. Carefully read all the instructions in this manual first. Consult the "authority having jurisdiction" to determine the need for a permit prior to starting the installation. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure this fireplace is installed in compliance with manufacturers instructions and all applicable codes.
INSTALLATION This includes: 1) Clocking the appliance to ensure the correct firing rate (rate noted on label 35,000 Btu/h) after burning appliance for 15 minutes. 2) If required, adjusting the primary air to ensure that the flame does not carbon. First allow the unit to burn for 15-20 min. to stabilize. CAUTION: Any alteration to the product that causes sooting or carboning that results in damage is not the responsibility of the manufacturer.
INSTALLATION CLEARANCES MANTELS The clearances listed below are Minimum distances unless otherwise stated: Because of the extreme heat this fireplace emits, the mantel clearances are critical. Combustible mantel clearances from louver are shown in the diagram below. A major cause of chimney related fires is failure to maintain required clearances (air space) to combustible materials.
INSTALLATION FRAMING AND FINISHING 1) The facing allows for 1/2" (13mm) of drywall material. The unit may be installed directly on/or against standard combustible building materials. 2) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing material. The framed opening for the assembled kit is 36-5/8" high x 40-1/4" wide x 19" deep (930mm H x 1022mm W x 483mm D). See Diagram 1. 5) The unit does not have to be completely enclosed in a chase.

INSTALLATION VENTING Regency Direct Vent System (Flex) Horizontal Terminations Only These venting systems, in combination with the P42 Direct Vent Gas Fireplace, have been tested and listed as a direct vent heater system by Warnock Hersey. The location of the termination cap must conform to the requirements in the Vent Terminal Locations diagram on page 9. Regency Direct Vent (Flex) System Termination Kit (Part # 946-515) includes all the parts needed to install the P42 with a maximum run of 4 feet.
INSTALLATION RIGID PIPE VENTING COMPONENTS LIST All Simpson Dura-Vent components are available directly from FPI.
INSTALLATION RIGID PIPE VENTING Horizontal or Vertical Terminations The Rigid Pipe Venting System offers a complete line of component parts for installation of both horizontal and vertical installations. Many items are offered in decorative black, as well as galvanized finish. We recommend using the galvanized finish for installation with the P42.
INSTALLATION RIGID PIPE VENTING ARRANGEMENTS - HORIZONTAL TERMINATIONS REGENCY DIRECT VENT SYSTEM (FLEX) (Propane & Natural Gas) The shaded areas in the diagram show all allowable combinations of vertical runs with horizontal terminations. The chart below shows the distances with one 90o bend (two 45o elbows equal one 90o elbow). For a second 90o bend, see page 14. A vent guard may be required, check local codes.
INSTALLATION RIGID PIPE VENTING ARRANGEMENTS - HORIZONTAL TERMINATIONS REGENCY DIRECT VENT SYSTEM (FLEX) - Propane & Natural Gas The diagram below shows examples of horizontal termination arrangements using two 90o elbows. Note: 1) 2) 3) A maximum of two 90o elbows are permitted (two 45o elbows equal one 90o elbow). A minimum of 6 ft.(1.8m) vertical from base of unit is required if two 90o elbows are used. Minimum distance between elbows is 2 ft. (0.6m).
INSTALLATION RIGID PIPE VENTING ARRANGEMENTS - VERTICAL TERMINATIONS (Propane & Natural Gas) The shaded area in the diagram shows all allowable combinations of straight vertical and offset to vertical terminations with rigid pipe vent systems for Propane and Natural Gas. Maximum two 45o elbows allowed. • • Vent restrictor #6 must be used in shaded area in diagram below. Vent must be supported at offsets The P42 is approved for a 37 ft. (11.3m) straight vertical, including a 20" (0.
INSTALLATION The P42 is approved for a 23 ft. (7.0m) vertical, with a maximum 12 ft (3.7m) horizontal offset using two 90o elbows (two 45o elbows equal one 90o elbow) with rigid pipe vent systems for Propane and Natural Gas, as per the diagram below. • • No Vent restrictor is required. Vent must be supported at offsets The P42 is approved for a 37 ft. (11.3m) straight vertical, with rigid pipe vent systems for Propane and Natural Gas, as per the diagram below.
INSTALLATION VERTICAL TERMINATION WITH CO-LINEAR FLEX SYSTEM THE APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE CONNECTED TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING A SEPARATE SOLID FUEL BURNING APPLIANCE. Masonry chimneys may take various contours which the flexible liner will accommodate. However, keep the flexible liner as straight as possible, avoid unnecessary bending. The Air Intake pipe must be attached to the inlet air collar of the termination cap.
INSTALLATION Venting Arrangements - Vertical Terminations with Co-linear Flex System for both Residential & Manufactured Homes into Masonry Fireplaces The shaded area in the diagrams show the allowable vertical terminations.
INSTALLATION HORIZONTAL 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. Rough in the gas preferably on the right side of the unit and the electrical (junction block is on the left side) on the left.
INSTALLATION 6) The arrow on the vent cap should be pointing up. Insure that the 1-1/4"(32mm) clearances to combustible materials are maintained (Diagram 5). Install the termination cap. 9) Install wall thimble in the center of the 10" (254mm) square and attach with wood screws (Diagram 6). 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.

To access the air shutter loosen the lock nut and then use the allen key to turn the turning gear which will adjust the air shutter. Open the air shutter for a blue flame or close it for a yellower flame. Tighten the lock nut when adjustment is complete.
INSTALLATION LOG SET INSTALLATION WARNING: Dangerous operating conditions may occur if these logs are not positioned in their correct certified locations. Read the following instructions carefully and refer to the attached diagram. 3) Sprinkle the vermiculite on the sides and front of the fireplace bottom being careful not to get any into the air shutter or the burner ports (burner ports are the little holes in the top of the burner).
INSTALLATION STANDARD FLUSH DOOR The standard flush door comes with a black frame. To install the frame, simply hook the top door flange onto the top of the unit and swing the door towards the unit, diagram 1. FLUSH LOUVERS 1) Install the top louver by sliding the two bracket clips into the brackets located underneath the top of the firebox. Diagram 1. 2) Attach the 2 bottom louver hinges to the bottom flange on the firebox using 2 screws per hinge. Diagram 1.
