INSTALLATION

GAS PIPE

PRESSURE TESTING

The appliance must be isolated from the gas

supply piping system by closing its individual

manual shut-off valve during any pressure

testing of the gas supply piping system at test

pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig. (3.45

kPa). Disconnect piping from valve at pressures

over 1/2 psig.

The manifold pressure is controlled by a regulator

built into the gas control, and should be checked

at the pressure test point.

Note: To properly check gas pressure, both

inlet and manifold pressures should

be checked using the valve pressure

ports on the valve.

1) Make sure the valve is in the "OFF"

position.

2) Loosen the "IN" and/or "OUT" pressure

tap(s), turning counterclockwise with a 1/8"

wide fl at screwdriver.

3) Attach manometer to "IN" and/or "OUT"

pressure tap(s) using a 5/16" ID hose.

4) Light the pilot and turn the valve to "ON"

position. Read manometer.

5) The pressure check should be carried out

with the unit burning and the setting should

be within the limits specifi ed on the safety

label.

6) When fi nished reading manometer, turn

off the gas valve, disconnect the hose and

tighten the screw (clockwise) with a 1/8"

fl at screwdriver.

Note: Screw should be

snug, but do not over tighten

OFFSET FLUE

ADAPTOR

A Offset Flue Adaptor Kit, Part #532-920 is

available as an accessory to move the fl ue

outlet back for easier liner installations in deep

fi replaces.

VENTING

THE APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE

CONNECTED TO A CHIMNEY FLUE

SERVING A SEPARATE SOLID FUEL

BURNING APPLIANCE.

This appliance is designed to attach to a 4"

diameter type B-Vent or double thickness

approved aluminium fl ex liner.

The fl ue collar of the appliance will fi t inside

a standard vent and may be fastened directly

to the vent by sheet metal screw or a B-Vent,

single wall vent connector.

B-Vent chimneys require a 1" clearance to

combustibles.

A 3" diameter type B-Vent or approved aluminium

fl ex liner may also be used with a 4" to 3" reduc-

ing adapter. Consult venting charts and local

code requirements.

The Regency Insert incorporates its own internal

draft hood, so no additional external draft hood

is required. Check periodically that the vent is

unrestricted and an adequate draft is present

when the unit is in operation.

Before installing the vent system ensure that the

damper plate is locked into the open position

and secure to prevent the damper plate from

falling down and crushing the liner.

The appliance is equipped with a vent safety

shutoff system and a safety control system

designed to protect against improper venting

of combustion products. The appliance will not

function without being connected to a proper

system.

WARNING: Operation of this heater

when not connected to a properly

installed and maintained venting

system or tampering with the vent

shut-off system can result in carbon

monoxide (CO) poisoning and

possible death.

This appliance must not be connected to a

chimney fl ue serving a separate solid fuel burn-

ing appliance.

For best venting performance, we

recommend

the following venting rules:

1) Use only certifi ed Type B gas vent or

approved fl ex liner.

2) Follow the vent manufacturer's instructions

and clearance requirements.

3) Observe any local code restrictions, if any,

regarding the installation of gas inserts.

4) Use as few elbows as possible.

5) Keep horizontal lengths as short as possible

and maintain at least an upward slope of

1/4 in. (6.4mm) for every 12 in. (305mm) of

horizontal run.

6) Terminate the vent with a suitable certifi ed

vent cap.

COMBUSTION AND

VENTILATION AIR

WARNING: This appliance needs fresh air

for safe operation and must be installed

with provisions for adequate combustion

and ventilation air available to the room in

which it is to be operating.

Follow CAN/CGA B149 (in Canada) or ANSI

Z223.1 (in the USA) requirements, and any

local codes or regulations of the enforcing

authority.

Air for combustion is drawn in through the front

of the unit, therefore, the front of the unit must

be kept clear of any obstructions.
