This is a copy of the label that accompanies each P48-NG and P48-LP Zero Clearance Direct Vent Gas Fireplace. We have printed a copy of the contents 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 P48-NG/P48-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 51,000 (NG) Btu/h, 48,000 (LP) 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 The clearances listed below are Minimum distances unless otherwise stated: A major cause of chimney related fires is failure to maintain required clearances (air space) to combustible materials. It is of the greatest importance that this fireplace and vent system be installed only in accordance with these instructions. Clearance to Combustibles from: Back Side Floor 0" 0" 0" (0mm) (0mm) (0mm) Caution Requirements The top, back and sides of the fireplace are defined by standoffs.
INSTALLATION MANTELS Because of the extreme heat this fireplace emits, the mantel clearances are critical. Combustible mantel clearances from louver are shown in the diagram below. Note: A non-combustible mantel may be installed at a lower height if the framing is made of metal studs covered with a noncombustible board. This drawing is to scale at 1:6 (one inch = 6 inches) Mantel can be installed anywhere in shaded area using the above scale for units with the Flush Front and with the optional Bay Front.
INSTALLATION FRAMING & FINISHING 1) Determine the total thickness of facing material (eg. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to allow the finished surface to be flush with the front of the unit. Total facing thickness can vary from 1/2" (13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm) thick. 2) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing material. The framed opening for the assembled kit is 47-1/2" high x 48-1/2" wide x 26-1/4" deep (1207mm H x 1232mm W x 667mm D). See Diagram 1.
INSTALLATION UNIT ASSEMBLY PRIOR TO INSTALLATION The Top Facing Support, the Side Nailing Strips and the 2 Top Standoffs must be correctly positioned and attached to the top before unit is slipped into position. Top Standoff Assembly The top standoffs are shipped in a flat position and must be folded into shape and attached. 1) Remove the standoffs from the fireplace top. 2) Take each standoff and bend into the correct shape.

Firestops are required at each floor level and whenever passing through a wall. Maintain clearances to combustibles.
INSTALLATION The P48 is approved for a maximum 40 ft. straight vertical, with Simpson Dura-Vent Direct Vent GS vent systems for Propane and Natural Gas, as per diagram. The shaded area in the diagram shows all allowable combinations of straight vertical and offset to vertical terminations with Simpson Dura-Vent Direct Vent GS vent systems for Propane and Natural Gas. Maximum two 45o elbows allowed.
INSTALLATION HORIZONTAL INSTALLATIONS Install the vent system according to the manufacturer's instructions included with the components. 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 VERTICAL TERMINATION 1) Maintain the 1-1/4"(32mm) clearances (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 pages 16-17 for the maximum vertical rise of the venting system and the maximum horizontal offset limitations. Diagram 1 2) Set the gas appliance in its desired location.
INSTALLATION INSTALLATION PROCEDURES for Regency Direct Vent System (Flex) 1) Locate the unit in the framing, 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. Locate the centerline of the termination and mark wall accordingly. Cut a 11"(279mm) hole in the wall (inside dimension).

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. 2) Install the bottom louver by folding the louver down and then sliding the Bottom Louver bracket down onto the 2 pins on the base of the unit (diagram 1).
