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 according- ly. Cut a 10"(254mm) hole in the wall (inside dimension).

Note: To make the installation more aes- thetically pleasing, we recom- mend framing out a square to mount the terminal to.

Note: A 1-1/2"(38mm) clearance around the liner must be maintained ex- cept that only a 1" (25mm) clear- ance is needed at the termination

*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" on the diagram on page 9.

end. We recommend framing a 10"(254mm) x 10"(254mm) (inside dimensions) hole to give structur- al rigidity for mounting the termi- nation.

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

2)

Level the fireplace and fasten it to the

 

framing using nails or screws through the

 

nailing strips.

3)

Assemble the vent assembly by applying

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 flue collars of the fireplace.

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

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

IMPORTANT: Do not locate termina- tion 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 sys- tem. When using snow blowers, make sure snow is not directed to- wards vent termination area.

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

termination and slipping the 4"(100mm) liner

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

the 3 screws (drilling pilot holes will make

this easier). Apply Mill Pac or high temper-

ature silicone to the 6-7/8"(175mm) flex

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".

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