INSTALLATION INSTALLATION CHECKLIST MINIMUM FIREPLACE DIMENSIONS Before installing vent system ensure that the damper plate is open and secure to prevent the damper plate from falling down and crushing the liner. The minimum fireplace clearances & dimensions for the Regency gas insert are shown in the following diagrams: The Regency Gas Insert is installed as listed.
INSTALLATION MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES The clearances listed below are Minimum distances unless otherwise stated: A major cause of fires is failure to maintain required clearances (air space) to combustible materials. It is of the greatest importance that this decorative gas appliance be installed only in accordance with these instructions. Clearance: Dimension A: Sides 12" / 305 mm From inside edge of faceplate / doors B: Ceiling 60" / 1524 mm Bottom of unit C: Mantel (Min.
INSTALLATION GAS CONNECTION GAS CONNECTION WARNING: Only persons licensed to work with gas piping may make the necessary gas connections to this appliance. The Air Intake and exhaust pipes must be attached to the inlet and exhaust collars of the termination cap with a minimum of three screws per pipe. Part # 948-305 948-336 946-588 Description 3" Flex - 35 ft. (Air intake) 4" Flex - 35 ft.
INSTALLATION Connecting the Vent Liners FLUE / VENT INSTALLATION NOTE: Flue Plate Connector Gasket must not be damaged or removed. Care must be taken to ensure that this gasket remains intact to prevent flue leakage. 4) Use the Flue Connector Slide Tool to slowly pull the Flue Connector Plate forward as you move the Insert rearward into the Fireplace Chase.
INSTALLATION LEVELING LEG ADJUSTMENT The L540PB / HZI540PB inserts are equipped with 2 levelling legs that are accessible while the appliance is in its final installation position. The unit can be adjusted up to 5/8" (16mm). The faceplate must not be installed to do this adjustment, if installed, remove faceplate. Remove left and right inner panels by sliding them forward. The rear levelling bolts are located in the back corners of the firebox and can be adjusted using a 7/16" wrench.
INSTALLATION AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT Air Shutters are required to increase or decrease the amount of air that is mixed with the fuel before combustion. This will have an affect on how well the fuel combusts and how the flame physically appears. Low primary air will leave a taller, yellower flame while higher primary air will leave a lower, bluer flame. This setting is largely for appearance, however, not enough primary air may lead to carboning, sooting or a flame that reaches the top of the firebox.
