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.
CAUTION: Any alteration to the product
that causes sooting or carboning that
results in damage is not the responsibil-
ity of the manufacturer.

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-

*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.

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.

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

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,

ly together, then twist-lock one section
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

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.

tant to support the vent pipe every
3 feet, to avoid excessive stress
on the elbows, and possible sep-
aration. Wall straps are available

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.

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.

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
areas that are exposed to the elements.
These will appear as rust spots or streaks,
and in extreme cases, holes. These compo-
nents should be replaced immediately.
2) Remove the Cap, and shine a flashlight
down the Vent. Remove any bird nests, or
other foreign material.
3) Check for evidences of excessive conden-
sation, such as water droplets forming in
the inner liner, and subsequently dripping
