INSTALLATION IMPORTANT MESSAGE SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS The P33CE-NG or P33CE-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 manufacturer's instructions and all applicable codes.
INSTALLATION INSTALLATION CHECKLIST 1) Locate appliance a) Room location (Refer to "Locating Your Fireplace" Section) b) Clearances to Combustibles (Refer to "Clearances" Section) c) Mantle Clearances (Refer to "Combustible Mantels" Section) d) Framing & Finishing Requirements (Refer to "Framing & Finishing" Section) e) Venting Requirements (Refer to "Venting" Sections) 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.

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. Caution Requirements The top, back and sides of the fireplace are defined by standoffs.
INSTALLATION COMBUSTIBLE MANTELS Because of the extreme heat this fireplace emits, the mantel clearances are critical. Combustible mantel clearances from top of unit 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 non-combustible board. This drawing is to scale at 1:6 (one inch = 6 inches). Mantel can be installed anywhere in shaded area or higher using the above scale.
INSTALLATION MANTEL LEG CLEARANCES Combustible mantel leg clearances from side of unit as per diagram: Top View 0-3 Side opening of Unit Maximum 1-1/2" projection at 2" minimum clearance.

INSTALLATION FRAMING & FINISHING 1. There are 8 (eight) side nailing strips and one top nailing strip available on the unit. One set of four (4) are for a clean finish (board only, painted) installation, the other set are for a non-combustible finish (ex. tile, concrete, mantel, surround) as they are set back 1/2" (13mm). The top nailing strip is adjustable to 1/2" (13mm). 2. Bend the required four (4) nailing strips to 90º. 3.

INSTALLATION VENTING INTRODUCTION The P33CE uses the "balanced flue" technology Co-Axial system. The inner liner vents products of combustion to the outside while the outer liner 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.

INSTALLATION UNIT INSTALLATION WITH HORIZONTAL TERMINATION b) Horizontal runs of vent must be supported every three feet. Wall straps are available for this purpose. 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.
INSTALLATION 8) 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 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 3 sheet metal screws. 4) Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and elbows. Ensure that all pipes and elbow connections are in the fully twist-locked position and sealed.

Combustible Material Non-combustible Material (3-1/2" x 36") Nailing Strip -1/2" back from unit face 4.
INSTALLATION Optional WALL THERMOSTAT A wall thermostat may be installed if desired, connect the wires as per the wiring diagram. Use table below to determine the maximum wire length. Note: Preferable if the thermostat is installed on an interior wall. Regency ® offers an optional programmable thermostat but any 250-750 millivolt rated nonanticipator type thermostat that is CSA, ULC or UL approved may be used. CAUTION Do not wire millivolt wall thermostat wires to 120V wire.
INSTALLATION WIRING DIAGRAMS This heater does not require a 120V A.C. supply for operation. In case of a power failure, the burner switch and the optional remote control/thermostat will continue to operate. However, a 120V A.C. power supply is needed for the fan/blower operation. (Do not cut the ground terminal off under any circumstances.
INSTALLATION AC POWER ADAPTOR INSTALLATION (FOR SUREFIRE SYSTEMS) An optional AC power adaptor may be installed as a constant power source for the SureFire system. IMPORTANT: Recommend removing the 4-AA batteries in the SureFire receiver. This will avoid battery leakage and power drainage. 4-AA Battery pack may be re-installed into receiver during power outages. NOTE: For all Gas Fireplaces 120 volt power must be brought to the receptacle box inside the ERWWRP RI WKH ¿UHER[ (provided with the unit).
