INSTALLATION RIGID PIPE VENTING - VERTICAL TERMINATIONS FOR BOTH RESIDENTIAL & MANUFACTURED HOMES/MOBILE HOMES Vertical Terminations with Co-linear Flex System Vertical Terminations using Rigid Piping Systems The shaded area in the diagram shows the allowable vertical terminations installed in a masonry chimney. All vertical vent installations require the Vent Restrictor to be set to 1-1/4" (32mm) open.
INSTALLATION RESIDENTIAL AND MANUFACTURED HOMES / MOBILE HOMES INSTALLATIONS You will require the following components with your new Regency® Rear Vent Direct Vent Freestanding Gas Stove. Please review your product to make sure you have everything you need. In the event that you are missing any part, contact your dealer. Decorative brass or chrome trim kits are available from Simpson Dura-Vent for their wall thimbles, as well as a square wall thimble cover. Note: These are the minimum pieces required.
INSTALLATION d) Slide the appliance and vent assembly towards the wall carefully inserting the vent pipe into the riser vent terminal assembly. It is important that the vent pipe extends into the Riser Vent Backing Plate 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 Riser Vent Backing Plate into the outer wall of the vent pipe.
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. This appliance is designed to be attached to two 3" (76mm) co-linear aluminium flex running the full length of the chimney. See the Venting Arrangements chart in the "Rigid Pipe Venting - Vertical Terminations" section for minimum and maximum flue lengths.See chart below for minimum distances from roof.
INSTALLATION CONVERTING CLASS-A METAL CHIMNEY OR MASONRY CHIMNEY TO DIRECT VENT SYSTEM General There are two different types of direct vent conversion systems listed below. Follow the appropriate directions for your installation. Approved for US Installations Only The use of an existing chimney as an air intake is not covered under the ANSI Z21.88b2003/CSA 2.33b-2003 test methods and the resulting ITS/WHI product certification.
INSTALLATION CONVERTING 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.

See diagram 1. 3) Close the door. The latch plate must be centered around the alignment pin. See diagram 2. If the latch Diagram 1 plate interferes with the corner of the stove you may want to angle the plate slightly so the door closes easier.
INSTALLATION LOUVER INSTALLATION Attach the top & bottom louvers to the side stove panel using 2 screws per side. WALL THERMOSTAT A wall thermostat may be installed if desired. Connect the wires as per the wiring diagrams. Note that the wires are connected to the "TH" on the gas valve. Use table below to determine the maximum wire length: Note: Preferable if the thermostat is installed on an interior wall.
INSTALLATION WIRING DIAGRAM 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. Caution: Ensure that the wires do not touch any hot surfaces and are away from sharp edges. CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE CONVECTION FAN OPERATION 1) Read and understand these instructions before operating this appliance. 1) Use the thermostat or remote control to turn off the main burner. 2) Check to see that all wiring is correct and enclosed to prevent possible shock. 2) Turn the main gas control clockwise to the "OFF" position to turn off the pilot (push knob in slightly).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 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. 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.
MAINTENANCE 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.
MAINTENANCE LATCH ADJUSTMENT PANEL DOOR The door latch may require adjustment as the door gasket material compresses after a few fires and after glass replacement. Turn the handle on the adjustable catch to tighten or loosen the latch. 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.
MAINTENANCE 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. 4) Lift fan off of the 2 pins, tip back and pull through the opening. Disconnect the green ground wire from the right side of the fan as soon as you can reach it.
MAINTENANCE 4) Remove the screw that holds the DC spark generator wires in place on the valve. 7) At this point you should disconnect the gas at the valve. You can access it through the front now that the control panel is off, or you can access it through the rear pedestal cover plate. DC SPARKER BATTERY REPLACEMENT 8) Carefully remove the logs and embers. 9) Remove burner. See diagram below. The battery in the DC Spark box needs to be replaced annually.
