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
*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
Minimum and Maximum Vent Clearances
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 |
the 3 screws (drilling pilot holes will make |
this easier). Apply Mill Pac or high temper- |
ature silicone to the |
pipe and slip it over the |
of the vent terminal at least |
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 |
