ensure that the clearances outlined on this  
page are met.  
This includes:  
2) Provide adequate clearances for servicing.  
The HeatWave Air Duct Kit increases the  
effectiveness of your fireplace by dispersing  
warm air from the fireplace to remote locations  
in the same room or other rooms in your home.  
1) Clocking the appliance to ensure the cor-  
rect firing rate (rate noted on label) after  
burning appliance for 15 minutes.  
3) The appliance must be installed on a flat,  
solid, continuous surface (e.g. wood, met-  
al, concrete). This may be the floor, or  
raised up on a platform to enhance its visual  
impact. If the appliance is going to be in-  
stalled on carpeting, combustible linoleum  
tile or other combustible material other than  
wood flooring, the appliance must be in-  
stalled on a metal or wood panel extending  
the full width and depth of the appliance.  
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.  
Up to two kits may be installed on the fireplace.  
Please Note: Only 1 HeatWave kit may be  
operated at one time. This includes the internal  
blower option as well.

CLEARANCES  
COMBUSTIBLE MANTELS  
Because of the extreme heat this fireplace emits, the mantel clearances are critical.  
Combustible mantel clearances from top of unit are shown in the diagram below.  
The clearances listed below are Minimum dis-  
tances unless otherwise stated:  
Note: A non-combustible mantel may be installed at a lower height if the framing is  
made of metal studs covered with a non-combustible board.  
A major cause of chimney related fires is  
failure to maintain required clearances  
(air space) to combustible materials. It is  
of the greatest importance that this fire-  
place and vent system be installed only in  
accordance with these instructions.

INSTALLATION  
VENTING INTRODUCTION  
The P33R-2 uses the "balanced flue" 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.  
There are 2 vent systems approved for use with the P33R-2: the Regency Direct Vent System (Flex) for Horizontal Terminations only (see pages  
11-12), and the Simpson Dura-Vent Systems for Horizontal and Vertical Terminations (see pages 13-19).  
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.  
NOTE: Ensure compliance with the outside vent terminal location before cutting hole as both dimensions must be met.  
REGENCY DIRECT VENT SYSTEM (FLEX)  
HORIZONTAL TERMINATIONS ONLY  
This venting system, in combination with the P33R-2 Direct Vent Gas Fireplace, have been tested and listed as a direct vent heater system by Warnock  
Hersey. The location of the termination cap must conform to the requirements in the Vent Terminal Locations diagram on page 10.  
Regency Direct Vent (Flex) System Termination Kit (Part # 946-513) includes all the parts needed to install the P33R-2 with a  
maximum run of 2 feet. If installing the P33 with a continuous vent length of more than 2 ft (.6m) to a maximum of 10 ft. (3.0m) using Kit # 946-  
515 (4 ft) or 946-516 (10 ft) or see page 13 for alternate venting arrangements.

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  
oftheterminationandmarkwallaccording-  
ly.Cuta10"(254mm)holeinthewall(inside  
dimension).  
*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.  
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  
end. We recommend framing a  
10"(254mm) x 10"(254mm) (inside  
dimensions) hole to give structur-  
al rigidity for mounting the termi-  
nation.  
Minimum and Maximum Vent Clearances  
5) Slip the assembled liner and termination 9) Apply a bead of silicone between the thim-  
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.  
ble and termination and around the outer  
edge of the terminal at the wall in order to  
keep the water out.  
IMPORTANT:Donotlocatetermina-  
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.  
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.  
6) Pull the centre 4"(100mm) liner and outer 6-  
7/8"(175mm)lineroutenoughtoslipoverthe  
flue collars of the fireplace.  
2) Level the fireplace and fasten it to the  
framing using nails or screws through the  
nailing strips.  
7) Apply Mill Pac over the fireplace inner collar  
and slip the 4"(100mm) liner down over it  
and attach with 3 supplied screws.  
3) Assemble the vent assembly by applying  
Mill Pac to the 4"(100mm) inner collar of the  
terminationand slippingthe4"(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.  
8) Do the same with the 6-7/8"(175mm) liner.  
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".

INSTALLATION  
HORIZONTAL INSTALLATIONS  
Install the vent system according to the manu-  
facturer's instructions included with the com-  
ponents.  
b) Horizontal runs of vent must be sup-  
ported every three feet. Wall straps are  
available for this purpose.  
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 at-  
tached. 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  
andtheelectrical(junctionblockisontheleft  
side) on the left.  
5) Mark the wall for a 10" x 10" square hole.  
Thecenterofthesquareholeshouldlineup  
with the centerline of the horizontal pipe.  
Cutandframethe10inchsquareholeinthe  
exterior wall where the vent will be termi-  
nated. If the wall being penetrated is con-  
structed of non-combustible material, i.e.  
masonry block or concrete, a 7"(178mm)  
diameter (7-1/2"(191mm) dia. for flex) hole  
is acceptable. See Horizontal Termination  
diagram on page 14.  
2) Direct Vent pipe and fittings are designed  
with special twist-lock connections to con-  
nect the venting system to the appliance  
flue outlet. A twist-lock appliance adaptor is  
an available option that must be used in  
conjunction with the Simpson Dura-Vent  
Direct Vent GS system.  
Diagram 2a  
Below Grade Snorkel Installation  
If the Snorkel Termination must be in-  
stalled below grade, i.e. basement ap-  
plication, proper drainage must be pro-  
vided to prevent water from entering  
theSnorkelTermination. RefertoDura-  
Vent Installation instructions for de-  
tails. Do not attempt to enclose the  
Snorkel within the wall, or any other  
type of enclosure.  
Note: With Dura-Vent, the minimum  
height is achieved by installing a  
90o elbow directly to the flue adapt-  
er.  
3) Put a bead of silicone inside the outer  
section of the adapter and a bead of Stove  
Mate on the inner collar. Slip the adapter  
over the existing inner and outer flue collar  
and fasten to the outer collar only with the  
3 supplied screws (drilling pilot holes will  
make this easier). Level the fireplace and  
fasten it to the framing using nails or screws  
through the nailing strips.  
Note:  
a) Thehorizontalrunofventmustbelevel,  
or have a 1/4 inch rise for every 1 foot  
of run towards the termination. Never  
allow the vent to run downward. This  
could cause high temperatures and  
may present the possibility of a fire.  
6) The arrow on the vent cap should be  
pointing up. Insure that the 1-1/2" clear-  
ances to combustible materials are main-  
tained (Dia. 3). Install the termination cap.  
AstroCapTM or Dura-Vent Horizontal Ter-  
mination Cap may be used.  
b) The location of the horizontal vent ter-  
mination on an exterior wall must meet  
all local and national building codes,  
and must not be blocked or obstructed.  
For External Vent Terminal Locations,  
see diagram on page 9.  
4) Assemble the desired combination of pipe  
and elbows to the appliance adaptor and  
twist-lock for a solid connection.  
Note:  
a) Twist-lockprocedure:Fourindentations,  
located on the female ends of pipes and  
fittings, are designed to slide straight  
onto the male ends of adjacent pipes  
and fittings, by orienting the four pipe  
indentations so they match and slide in  
to the four entry slots on the male ends,  
Dia. 1. Pushthepipesectionscomplete-

clockwise approximately one-quarter  
turn, until the two sections are fully  
locked. The female locking lugs will not  
be visible from the outside, on the Black  
Pipe or fittings. They may be located by  
examiningtheinsideofthefemaleends.  
c) Snorkel Terminations:  
For installations requiring a vertical rise  
on the exterior of the building, 14-inch  
and 36-inch tall Snorkel Terminations  
and the Riser Vent as shown in Dia. 2  
& 2a are available. Follow the same  
installation procedures as used for  
standardHorizontalTermination. NEV-  
ER install the snorkel upside down.  
Diagram 3  
The four wood screws provided should be  
replaced with appropriate fasteners for  
stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of  
sidings.  
Note: If installing termination on a siding  
covered wall, a vinyl siding stand-  
off or furring strips must be used  
to ensure that the termination is  
not recessed into the siding.  
7) Before connecting the horizontal run of  
vent pipe to the vent termination, slide the  
Wall Thimble (Part # 620-926) over the vent  
pipe.

that the vent pipe extends into the vent cap  
sufficient distance so as to result in a  
minimum pipe overlap of 1-1/4 inches.

1) Maintain the 1-1/2" clearances (air spaces)  
to combustibles when passing through ceil-  
ings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafter,  
or other nearby combustible surfaces. Do  
not pack air spaces with insulation. Check  
pages 13-14 for the maximum vertical rise

This allows for small adjustments.  
2) Set the gas appliance in its

6) Continue to assemble pipe lengths.  
Note: If an offset is necessary in the attic  
to avoid obstructions, it is impor-  
tant to support the vent pipe every  
3 feet, to avoid excessive stress  
on the elbows, and possible sep-  
aration. Wall straps are available  
for this purpose.

authorities and the CAN/CGA B149 installation  
code.  
penetrate the roof.  
Diagram 1  
Galvanized pipe is desirable above the roof-  
line due to its higher corrosion resistance.  
Continue to add pipe sections through the  
flashing until the height of the vent cap meets  
theminimumheightrequirementsspecifiedin  
Dia. 4 or local codes. Note that for steep roof  
pitches,theverticalheightmustbeincreased.  
A poor draft, or down drafting can result from  
high wind conditions near big trees or adjoin-  
ing roof lines, in these cases, increasing the  
vent height may solve the problem.  
3) A Firestop spacer must be installed in the  
floor or ceiling of every level. To install the  
Firestop spacer in a flat ceiling or wall, cut  
a 10 inch square hole. Frame the hole as  
shown in Diagram 2 and install the firestop.  
For USA installations follow local codes and/or  
the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI  
Z223.1.  
When using copper or flex connectors use only  
approved fittings. Always provide a union so  
that gas lines can be easily disconnected for  
servicing. Flare nuts for copper lines and flex  
connectors are usually considered to meet this  
requirement.  
7) Ensure vent is vertical and secure the base  
of the flashing to the roof with roofing rails,  
slide storm collar over the pipe section and  
seal with a mastic.

FIRST FIRE  
LIGHTING PROCEDURE  
The first fire in your stove is part of the paint  
curing process. To ensure that the paint is  
properly cured, it is recommended that you  
burn your fireplace for at least four (4) hours  
the first time you use it with the fan on.  
IMPORTANT: Gas cock knob cannot be  
turned from "PILOT" to "OFF" unless it is  
partially depressed.  
When first operated, the unit will release an  
odour caused by the curing of the paint, the  
burning off of any oils remaining from manufac-  
turing. Smokedetectorsinthehousemaygooff  
at this time. Open a few windows to ventilate  
the room for a couple of hours.  
1) Turn burner OFF using "ON/OFF" switch.  
2) Turn gas control knob so indicator points to  
"OFF" position and allow 5 minutes for any  
gas in the combustion chamber to escape.  
Closed - Tall yellow  
Open - Short blue  
The glass panel may require cleaning after the  
unit has cooled down. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO  
CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.  
3) Turn gas control knob counterclockwise so  
indicator points to the "PILOT" position.  
Depress the gas control knob fully. De-  
press the igniter button several times until  
the pilot lights. After approximately one  
minute, release the gas control knob. The  
pilot flame should continue to burn. If the  
pilot does not remain lit, repeat operation  
allowing a longer period before releasing  
gas control knob.  
Note: Any damage due to carboning re-  
sulting from improperly setting  
the aeration controls is NOT cov-  
ered under warranty.  
Note: When the glass is cold and the  
appliance is lit, it may cause con-  
densation and fog the glass. This  
condensation is normal and will  
disappear in a few minutes as the  
glass heats up.  
Note: Aeration Adjustment should only  
be performed by an authorized  
Regency Installer at the time of  
installation or service.  
DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCE  
WITHOUT THE GLASS FRONT IN  
PLACE.  
4) When the pilot stays lit, turn the gas knob  
further counterclockwise to the "ON" posi-  
tion.  
During the first few fires, a white film may  
develop on the glass front as part of the  
curing process. The glass should be  
cleaned or the film will bake on and  
become very difficult to remove. Use a  
non-abrasive cleaner and NEVER clean  
the glass while it is hot.  
5) Use the wall switch, thermostat or remote  
control to turn on the unit.  
6) Rotate the flame height regulator to adjust  
the flame height higher or lower.

MAINTENANCE  
out the joints, Continuous condensation  
can cause corrosion of caps, pipe, and  
fittings. It may be caused by having exces-  
sive lateral runs, too many elbows, and  
exterior portions of the system being ex-  
posed to cold weather.  
NORMAL OPERATING  
SOUNDS OF  
MAINTENANCE  
INSTRUCTIONS  
GAS APPLIANCES  
1) Always turn off the gas valve before clean-  
ing. For relighting, refer to lighting instruc-  
tions. Keep the burner and control compart-  
ment 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.  
It is possible that you will hear some sounds  
from your gas appliance. This is perfectly  
normal due to the fact that there are various  
gauges and types of steel used within your  
appliance. Listed below are some examples.  
All are normal operating sounds and  
should not be considered as defects in your  
appliance.  
4) Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe sections  
or fittings have been disturbed, and conse-  
quently loosened. Also check mechanical  
supports such as Wall Straps, or plumbers'  
tape for rigidity.  
2) Clean appliance and door with a damp cloth  
(never when unit is hot). Never use an  
abrasive cleaner. The glass should be  
cleaned with a gas fireplace glass cleaner.  
The glass should be cleaned when it  
starts looking cloudy.  
GOLD-PLATED or  
BRASS LOUVERS  
Blower:  
Regency gas appliances use high tech blow-  
ers to push heated air farther into the room. It  
is not unusual for the fan to make a "whirring"  
sound when ON. This sound will increase or  
decrease in volume depending on the speed  
setting of your fan speed control.  
The 24 carat gold-plated or brass finish on the  
louversandtrimrequireslittlemaintenance,and  
need only be cleaned with a damp cloth. DO  
NOT use abrasive materials or chemical clean-  
ers, as they may harm the finish and void the  
warranty. Clean any fingerprints off be-  
fore turning the unit on.  
3) The heater is finished in a heat resistant  
paint and should only be refinished with  
heat resistant paint. Regency uses Stove-  
Bright Paint - Metallic Black #6309.  
Burner Tray:  
The burner tray is positioned directly under the  
burner tube(s) and logs and is made of a  
different gauge material from the rest of the  
firebox and body. Therefore, the varying thick-  
nesses of steel will expand and contract at  
slightly different rates which can cause "tick-  
ing" and "cracking" sounds. You should also  
be aware that as there are temperature chang-  
es within the unit these sounds will likely re-  
occur. Again, this is normal for steel fireboxes.  
4) Make a periodic check of burner for proper  
position and condition. Visually check the  
flame of the burner periodically, making  
sure the flames are steady; not lifting or  
floating. If there is a problem, call a qualified  
service person.  
GOLD-PLATED or  
BRASS TRIM  
The 24 carat gold plated or brass finish on the  
trim requires little maintenance, and need only  
be cleaned with a damp cloth. DO NOT use  
abrasive materials or chemical cleaners, as  
they may harm the finish and void the warranty.  
Clean any fingerprints off before turning  
5) The appliance and venting system must be  
inspected before use, and at least annually,  
by a qualified field service person, to en-  
sure that the flow of combustion and ven-  
tilation air is not obstructed.

discolour, check the door gasket seal  
and replace if necessary.  
Pilot Flame:  
While the pilot flame is on it can make a very  
slight "whisper" sound.  
6) Do not use this appliance if any part has  
been under water. Immediately call a qual-  
ified service technician to inspect the appli-  
ance and to replace nay part of the control  
system and any gas control which has  
been under water.  
LOG REPLACEMENT  
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.  
The unit should never be used with broken logs.  
Turn off the gas valve and allow the unit to cool  
before opening door and carefully remove the  
logs. (The pilot light generates enough heat to  
burn someone.) If for any reason a log should  
need replacement, you must use the proper  
replacement log. The position of these logs  
must be as shown in the diagrams under Log  
Installation.  
7) Verify operation after servicing.  
Unit Body/Firebox:  
General Vent Maintenance  
Different types and thicknesses of steel will  
expand and contract at different rates result-  
inginsome"cracking"and"ticking"soundswill  
be heard throughout the cycling process.  
Conduct an inspection of the venting system  
semi-annually. Recommended areas to inspect  
as follows:  
Note: Improper positioning of logs may  
create carbon build-up and will  
severely alter the unit's perform-  
ance which is not covered under  
warranty.  
1) Check the Venting System for corrosion in
