REQUIREMENTS MA Code - CO Detector (for the State of Massachusetts only) 5.08: Modifications to NFPA-54, Chapter 10 (2) Revise 10.8.
INSTALLATION BEFORE YOU START Safe installation and operation of this appliance requires common sense, however, we are required by the Canadian Safety Standards and ANSI Standards to make you aware of the following: INSTALLATION AND REPAIR SHOULD BE DONE BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSON. THE APPLIANCE SHOULD BE INSPECTED BEFORE USE AND AT LEAST ANNUALLY BY A PROFESSIONAL SERVICE PERSON. MORE FREQUENT CLEANING MAY BE REQUIRED DUE TO EXCESSIVE LINT FROM CARPETING, BEDDING MATERIAL, ETC.
INSTALLATION IMPORTANT MESSAGE SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS The P42-NG/P42-LP Direct Vent Fireplace must be installed in accordance with these instructions. Carefully read all the instructions in this manual first. Consult the "authority having jurisdiction" to determine the need for a permit prior to starting the installation. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure this fireplace is installed in compliance with manufacturers instructions and all applicable codes.
INSTALLATION LOCATING YOUR GAS FIREPLACE This includes: 1) Clocking the appliance to ensure the correct firing rate (rate noted on label 35,000 Btu/h) after burning appliance for 15 minutes. 2) If required, adjusting the primary air to ensure that the flame does not carbon. First allow the unit to burn for 15-20 min. to stabilize. CAUTION: Any alteration to the product that causes sooting or carboning that results in damage is not the responsibility of the manufacturer.
INSTALLATION CLEARANCES MANTELS The clearances listed below are Minimum distances unless otherwise stated: Because of the extreme heat this fireplace emits, the mantel clearances are critical. Combustible mantel clearances from louver are shown in the diagram below. A major cause of chimney related fires is failure to maintain required clearances (air space) to combustible materials.
INSTALLATION FRAMING AND FINISHING 1) Determine the total thickness of facing material (ie. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to allow the finished surface to be flush with the front of the unit. Total facing thickness can vary from 1/2" (13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm) thick. 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.

INSTALLATION RIGID PIPE VENTING ARRANGEMENTS - HORIZONTAL TERMINATIONS REGENCY® DIRECT VENT SYSTEM (FLEX) (Propane & Natural Gas) The shaded areas in the diagram show all allowable combinations of vertical runs with horizontal terminations. The chart below shows the distances with one 90o bend (two 45o elbows equal one 90o elbow). For a second 90o bend, see the "Rigid Pipe Venting Arrangements - Horizontal Terminations" section. A vent guard may be required, check local codes.

Note: 1) 2) 3) A maximum of two 90o elbows are permitted (two 45o elbows equal one 90o elbow). A minimum of 6 ft.(1.8m) vertical from base of unit is required if two 90o elbows are used. Minimum distance between elbows is 2 ft. (0.6m).
INSTALLATION RIGID PIPE VENTING ARRANGEMENTS - VERTICAL TERMINATIONS (Propane & Natural Gas) The shaded area in the diagram shows all allowable combinations of straight vertical and offset to vertical terminations with rigid pipe vent systems for Propane and Natural Gas. Maximum two 45o elbows allowed. • • Vent restrictor #6 must be used in shaded area in diagram below. Vent must be supported at offsets The P42 is approved for a 37 ft. (11.3m) straight vertical, including a 20" (0.
INSTALLATION The P42 is approved for a 23 ft. (7.0m) vertical, with a maximum 12 ft (3.7m) horizontal offset using two 90o elbows (two 45o elbows equal one 90o elbow) with rigid pipe vent systems for Propane and Natural Gas, as per the diagram below. The P42 is approved for a 37 ft. (11.3m) straight vertical, with rigid pipe vent systems for Propane and Natural Gas, as per the diagram below. • • • No Vent restrictor is required.
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. Masonry chimneys may take various contours which the flexible liner will accommodate. However, keep the flexible liner as straight as possible, avoid unnecessary bending. The Air Intake pipe must be attached to the inlet air collar of the termination cap.
INSTALLATION VENTING ARRANGEMENTS - VERTICAL TERMINATIONS with Co-linear Flex System for both Residential & Manufactured Homes into Masonry Fireplaces The shaded area in the diagrams show the allowable vertical terminations.
INSTALLATION HORIZONTAL TERMINATIONS 1) Set the unit in its desired location. Check to determine if wall studs or roof rafters are in the way when the venting system is attached. If this is the case, you may want to adjust the location of the unit. 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. b) Horizontal runs of vent must be supported every 3 feet (0.9meter). Wall straps are available for this purpose.
INSTALLATION 6) The arrow on the vent cap should be pointing up. Insure that the 1-1/4"(32mm) clearances to combustible materials are maintained (Diagram 5). Install the termination cap. 9) Install wall thimble in the center of the 10" (254mm) square and attach with wood screws (Diagram 6). Note: If installing termination on a siding covered wall, a vinyl siding standoff or furring strips must be used to ensure that the termination is not recessed into the siding.
