INSTALLATION IMPORTANT: SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS The ULTIMATE Rear Vent Direct Vent Freestanding Gas Stove must be installed in accordance with these instructions. Carefully read all the instructions in this manual first. Consult the building authority having jurisdiction to determine the need for a permit prior to starting the installation. Note: Failure to follow the instructions could cause a malfunction of the heater which could result in death, serious bodily injury, and/or property damage.
INSTALLATION INSTALLATION CHECKLIST CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES LOCATING YOUR ULTIMATE GAS STOVE 1) Check Clearances to Combustibles (page 6), location of unit (page 6) and venting requirements (pages 6-10). The clearances listed are MINIMUM distances. Measure the clearance to both the appliance and the chimney connector. The farthest distance is correct if the two clearances do not coincide.

INSTALLATION RIGID PIPE VENTING COMPONENTS LIST All Simpson Dura-Vent components are available directly from FPI.
INSTALLATION RIGID PIPE VENTING - VERTICAL TERMINATIONS FOR BOTH RESIDENTIAL & MANUFACTURED HOMES/MOBILE HOMES Vertical Terminations with Co-linear Flex System Vertical Terminations using Rigid Piping Systems The shaded area in the diagram shows the allowable vertical terminations installed in a masonry chimney. All vertical vent installations require the Vent Restrictor to be set to 1-1/4" (32mm) open.
INSTALLATION RESIDENTIAL AND MANUFACTURED HOMES/ MOBILE HOMES INSTALLATIONS You will require the following components with your new Regency Rear Vent Direct Vent Freestanding Gas Stove. Please review your product to make sure you have everything you need. In the event that you are missing any part, contact your dealer. Decorative brass or chrome trim kits are available from Simpson Dura-Vent for their wall thimbles, as well as a square wall thimble cover. Note: These are the minimum pieces required.
INSTALLATION Use two aluminum screws provided to connect the strips to the pipe section. Bend any remaining portion of the sheet metal strip back towards the vent cap and cut off any excess, it will be concealed by the decorative wall thimble cover. See diagram 5. Diagram 2b NOTE: For Snorkel terminations in ABOVE grade installations, follow national or local code requirements.

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. This appliance is designed to be attached to two 3" (76mm) co-linear aluminium flex running the full length of the chimney. See the Venting Arrangements chart on page 10 for minimum and maximum flue lengths.See chart below for minimum distances from roof. Periodically check that the vent is unrestricted.
INSTALLATION CONVERTING A CLASS-A METAL CHIMNEY OR MASONRY CHIMNEY TO A DIRECT VENT SYSTEM General There are two different types of direct vent conversion systems listed below. Follow the appropriate directions for your installation. A ) Through an existing factory built metal chimney going through the ceiling: A typical conversion of this type is shown in diagram 1.
INSTALLATION Converting a Masonry Chimney Important: The existing masonry flue opening needs to have an area of at least a 36 sq. in. to insure proper intake/exhaust flow. 1) Before cutting any holes, assemble the desired sections of black direct vent pipe to determine the center of the masonry penetration.
INSTALLATION Conversion Kit from Natural Gas to Propane THIS CONVERSION MUST BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED GAS FITTER IF IN DOUBT DO NOT DO THIS CONVERSION !! Conversion Kit # 680-969 Contains: Qty. Part # 1 910-018 1 1 1 1 1 910-037 904-390 908-528 908-255 918-031 7) Unscrew the pilot orifice with the allen key and replace with the LP pilot orifice in the kit.
INSTALLATION GAS CONNECTION The gas connection is a 3/8" NPT 90o elbow. The gas line can be rigid pipe or to make installation easier, use a listed flexible connector and/or copper tubing if allowed by local codes. Since some municipalities have additional local codes it is always best to consult with your local authorities and the CAN/CGA B149 installation codes. For USA installations follow local codes and/or the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
INSTALLATION 3) Place Rear Log A)02-65 on the two pins on the rear log support. 7) Place the Left Top Log D)02-46 on the pin on Log B)02-56 and on top of the cutout on Log A)02-65. 11) Position notch in Front Right Log G)02-48 on Log F)02-47 and push the bottom right edge against the bracket on the burner tray.

INSTALLATION DOOR INSTALLATION (Packaged Separately) 1) Open the two side panels. 2) Slide the door onto the two hinge pins making sure the two pieces are flush together. See diagram 1. 3) Close the door. The latch plate must be centered around the alignment pin. See diaDiagram 1 gram 2. If the latch plate interferes with the corner of the stove you may want to angle the plate slightly so the door closes easier.
INSTALLATION LOUVER INSTALLATION OPTIONAL WALL THERMOSTAT OPTIONAL REMOTE CONTROL Attach the top & bottom louvers to the side stove panel using 2 screws per side. A wall thermostat may be installed if desired. Connect the wires as per the wiring diagrams. Note that the wires are connected to the "TH" on the gas valve. Use table below to determine the maximum wire length: Use the Regency Remote Control Kit approved for this unit. Use of other systems may void your warranty.
INSTALLATION WIRING DIAGRAM This heater does not require a 120V A.C. supply for operation. In case of a power failure, the burner switch and the optional remote control/ thermostat will continue to operate. However, a 120V A.C. power supply is needed for the fan/ blower operation. Caution: Ensure that the wires do not touch any hot surfaces and are away from sharp edges. CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1) Read and understand these instructions before operating this appliance. 2) Check to see that all wiring is correct and enclosed to prevent possible shock. 4) When the pilot stays lit, turn the gas knob further counterclockwise to the "ON" position. 5) Use the thermostat or remote control to turn on the unit. 6) Rotate the flame height regulator to adjust the flame height higher or lower. CONVECTION FAN OPERATION 3) Check to ensure there are no gas leaks.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Again, this is normal for steel fireboxes. Blower Thermodisc: When this thermally activated switch turns ON it will create a small "clicking" sound. This is the switch contacts closing and is normal. Pilot Flame: While the pilot flame is on it can make a very slight "whisper" sound. Gas Control Valve: As the gas control valve turns ON and OFF, a dull clicking sound may be audible, this is normal operation of a gas regulator or valve.
MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS 1) Always turn off the valve before cleaning. For relighting, refer to lighting instructions. Keep the burner and control compartment clean by brushing and vacuuming at least once a year. When cleaning the logs, use a soft clean paint brush as the logs are fragile and easily damaged. 2) Clean glass (never when unit is hot), appliance, louvers, and door with a damp cloth. Never use an abrasive cleaner.
MAINTENANCE PANEL DOOR LATCH ADJUSTMENT 1) Remove the door from the unit and place on a soft surface to prevent scratching. The door latch may require adjustment as the door gasket material compresses after a few fires and after glass replacement. Turn the handle on the adjustable catch to tighten or loosen the latch. 2) Pull out the door gasket. 3) Remove the nuts holding the glass retainers in place. 4) Remove the glass retainers (sides, top and bottom) and the door catch plate. 5) Replace the glass.
MAINTENANCE FAN MAINTENANCE If your fan requires maintenance or replacement, access to the fan is through the plate on the rear wall of the firebox. NOTE: the unit MUST NOT be operated without the fan access panel securely in place and correctly sealed. 4) Lift fan off of the 2 pins, tip back and pull through the opening. Disconnect the green ground wire from the right side of the fan as soon as you can reach it.
MAINTENANCE 4) Remove the two outside frame pieces by removing two screws per side. See diagram below. 9) Carefully lift the burner tray assembly out. Be careful not to tear gaskets when lifting out the valve tray; these gaskets seal the valve from the exterior of the firebox. 5) At this point you should disconnect the gas at the valve. You can access it through the front now that the control panel is off, or you can access it through the rear pedestal cover plate. 6) Carefully remove the logs and embers.
