Regency P42-LP4 Framing And Finishing, Top Assembly & Nailing Strips, Venting Introduction

INSTALLATION

FRAMING AND

FINISHING

1)Determine the total thickness of facing material (ie. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to allow the fi nished surface to be fl ush with the front of the unit. Total facing thickness can vary from 1/2" (13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm) thick.

2)Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing material. The framed opening for the assembled kit is 36-5/8" high x 40-1/4" wide x 19" deep (930mm H x 1022mm W x 483mm D). See Diagram 1.

Diagram 1

5)The unit does not have to be completely enclosed in a chase. The clearance on top of the unit from the top standoffs is 0" so combustible building materials can be laid directly on top of the standoffs. You must maintain these clearances from the vent to combustible materials: Flex Termination clearance1-1/2"(38mm),SimpsonDura-Vent clearance or (1-1/4" (32mm). Combustible materials can be laid against the side and back standoffs and the fi replace base.

The HeatWave Duct Kit has different clearance and framing requirements, check the HeatWave manual for details.

TOP ASSEMBLY &

NAILING STRIPS

The Top Facing Support and Side Nailing Strips must be correctly positioned and attached before the unit is slipped into position.

1)The top standoffs are shipped installed.

2)The Top Facing Support and the 2 Side Nailing Strips can be installed at different depths depending on the width of your facing. Match the depths of the top facing support and the side nailing strips.

a)Mount Top Facing Support using the 3 supplied screws into the 3 pre-punched screw holes on the top front of the unit. See Diagrams 2 & 3 for the proper position of the Top Facing Support for the various material depths.

b)Mount the Side Nailing Strip using the 3 supplied screws into the 3 screw holes or slots (diagram 4) on the side of the unit and repeat for the other side. Use the hole for a 1/2" (13mm) thick facing material and the slot for a range of thickness from 3/4" to 1-1/2" (25mm to 38mm).

VENTING

INTRODUCTION

The P42 uses the "balanced fl ue" 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.

Note: These flue pipes must not be connected to any other appliance.

The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and never be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas burning appliance. Each direct vent gas appliance must use it's own separate vent system. Common vent systems are prohibited.

VENT RESTRICTOR

A vent restrictor may be required. Check

the diagrams in the "Rigid Pipe Venting

Arrangements" section to determine if the #6

restrictor is needed for your vent confi guration.

If required, attach the 2 piece #6 restrictor

Diagram 1

using 4 screws per piece to the inside top of the fi rebox.

Note: 43" (1092mm) is the minimum height
	for flex termination and Rigid Pipe
	terminations.
3) For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to
	the same degree as the rest of the house,
	apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per
	local installation codes. (Do not insulate
	the fireplace itself.)
4)	The top louvers must not be closer than
	36" (914mm) to the ceiling.	Diagram 2
