INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
for Regency Direct Vent System (Flex)
Minimum and Maximum Vent Clearances
INSTALLATION
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
of the termination and mark wall according-
ly. Cut a 10"(254mm) hole in the wall (inside
dimension).
Note: To make the installation more aes-
thetically pleasing, we recom-
mend framing out a square to
mount the terminal to.
*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: 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.
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.
2) Level the fireplace and fasten it to the
framing using nails or screws through the
nailing strips.
3) Assemble the vent assembly by applying
Mill Pac to the 4"(100mm) inner collar of the
termination and slipping the 4"(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.
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".
5) Slip the assembled liner and termination
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.
6) Pull the centre 4"(100mm) liner and outer 6-
7/8"(175mm) liner out enough to slip over the
flue collars of the fireplace.
7) Apply Mill Pac over the fireplace inner collar
and slip the 4"(100mm) liner down over it
and attach with 3 supplied screws.
8) Do the same with the 6-7/8"(175mm) liner.
9) Apply a bead of silicone between the thim-
ble and termination and around the outer
edge of the terminal at the wall in order to
keep the water out.
IMPORTANT: Do not locate termina-
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.
