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 10"(254mm) hole in the wall (inside dimension).

Note: To make the installation more aestheticallypleasing,werecommend framing out a square to mount the terminal to.

Note: A 2-1/2" (64mm) horizontal top and 1-1/2" (38mm) horizontal sides & bottom clearance around the liner

*If this is an outside corner, the minimum distance between the vent and the outside corner is 6" (15cm) with AstroCap termination cap or 12" (30cm) with Dura-Vent termination cap. See "F" in the diagram in "Exterior Vent Trmination Locations" Section.

Minimum and Maximum Vent Clearances

must be maintained except that only a 1" (25mm) clearance is needed at the termination end. We recommend framing a 10"(254mm) x 10"(254mm) (inside dimensions) hole to give structural rigidity for mounting the termination.

Note: If installing termination on a siding covered wall, furring strips must be used to ensure that the termination is not recessed into the siding.

2) Levelthefireplaceandfastenittotheframing

using nails or screws through the nailing

strips.

5)Slip the assembled liner and termination assembly through the thimble making sure the termination cap faces up (there are markings on the cap that show which way is up). This will position the termination cap with proper down slope for draining water. Fasten the cap to the outer wall with the 4 supplied screws.

6)Pull the centre 4"(100mm) liner and outer 6-7/8"(175mm) liner out enough to slip over the fl ue collars of the fi replace.

7)Apply Mill Pac over the fi replace inner collar and slip the 4"(100mm) liner down over it and attach with 3 supplied screws.

8)Do the same with the 6-7/8"(175mm) liner.

9)Apply a bead of silicone between the thimble and termination and around the outer edge of the terminal at the wall in order to keep the water out.

IMPORTANT:Donotlocatetermination hood where excessive snow or ice buildup may occur. Be sure to check vent termination area after snow falls, and clear to prevent accidental blockage of venting system. When using snow blowers, make sure snow is not directed towards vent termination area.

3) Assemble the vent assembly by applying

Mill Pac to the 4"(100mm) inner collar of the

terminationand slippingthe4"(100mm)liner

over it at least 1-3/8" (35mm). Fasten with

the3screws(drillingpilotholeswillmakethis

easier). Apply Mill Pac or high temperature

silicone to the 6-7/8"(175mm) fl ex pipe and

slip it over the 6-7/8" outer collar of the vent

terminal at least 1-3/8"(35mm) and fasten

with the 3 screws.

4) Separate the 2 halves of the wall thimble and

securely fasten the one with the tabs to the

outside wall making sure that the tabs are

on top and bottom. Fasten the other thimble

half to the inside wall. The thimble halves

slip inside each other and can be adjusted

for 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 walls. The liners must slip

over the collars a minimum of 1-3/8".
