16 Regency® P33E-4 Zero Clearance Direct Vent Gas FireplaceINSTALLATIONThe Top Facing Support, the Side Nailing Strips andthe 2 Top Standoffs must be correctly positioned andattached to the top before the unit is put into position.Top Standoff AssemblyThe top standoffs are shipped in a flat position andmust be pulled up and bent into the correct shape.1) Remove the standoffs from on top of the fireboxby undoing the screws.2) Take each standoff and bend into the correctshape. Bend up at the bend lines until the screwholes in the standoff and the pre-punched screwholes on the firebox top line-up.3) Attach the standoffs securely to the top with 4screws per standoff.Note: Secure the standoffs to the holes closestto the edge of the firebox top.Top Facing Support &Side Nailing StripsDetermine the total thickness of facing material(e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to allow the finishedsurface to be flush with the front of the unit. Totalfacing thickness can vary from 1/2" (13mm) to1-1/4" (32mm) thick.The Top Facing Support & Side Nailing Strips canbe mounted in various positions depending on thethickness of the facing material.1) Mount Top Facing Support using the 3 suppliedscrews into the three pre-punched screw holeson the top front of the unit. Adjust support todesired facing material depth.2) Mount Side Nailing Strip using the 3 suppliedscrews into the three pre-punched screw holesat the front sides of the unit.

The inner liner vents products of combustion to the outside while the outer linerdraws outside combustion air into the combustion chamber thereby eliminating the need to use heated room air for combustion and losing warm roomair up the chimney.There are 5 vent systems approved for use with the P33E-4: the Regency ® Direct Vent Flex System for Horizontal Terminations only and the SimpsonDura-Vent Pro, Selkirk Direct-Temp, Amerivent Direct Vent, Metal-Fab Sure Seal, Security Secure Vent and ICC Excel Direct for Horizontal and VerticalTerminations (see following "Venting" Sections for more details).Note: These fl ue 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 solidfuel or gas burning appliance. Each direct vent gas appliance must use it's own separate vent system. Common vent systems are prohibited. (See "RigidPipe Venting System" for more details and exceptions).NOTE: Ensure compliance with the outside vent terminal location before cutting hole as both dimensions must be met.For a facing material depth of1-1/4"(32mm), the top facingsupport must be reversed.
