Regency ® P36-4 Gas Log Fireplace 17INSTALLATIONDiagram 58) Slide the appliance and flue assemblytowards the wall carefully inserting theflue pipe into the flue cap assembly. It isimportant that the flue pipe extends intothe flue cap sufficient distance so as toresult in a minimum pipe overlap of 1-1/4inches. Secure the connection between theflue pipe and the flue cap by attaching thetwo sheet metal strips extending from theflue cap assembly into the outer wall of theflue pipe. Use the two sheet metal screwsprovided to connect the strips to the pipesection. See Diagram 4.9) Install wall thimble in the center of the10" square and attach with wood screws(Diagram 5).HORIZONTALTERMINATIONSInstall the flue system according to themanufacturer's instructions included withthe components.1) Set the unit in its desired location. Checkto determine if wall studs or roof raftersare in the way when the flueing system isattached. If this is the case, you may wantto adjust the location of the unit. Rough inthe gas preferably on the right side of theunit and the electrical (junction block is onthe left side) on the left.2) Co Axial Flue pipe and fittings are designedwith special twist-lock connections toconnect the flueing system to the applianceflue outlet. A twist-lock appliance adaptoris an available option that must be used inconjunction with the Simpson Dura-Vent CoAxial Flue GS system.3) Put a bead of silicone inside the outersection of the adapter and a bead of StoveMate on the inner collar. Slip the adapterover the existing inner and outer flue collarand fasten to the outer collar only with the3 supplied screws (drilling pilot holes willmake this easier). Level the fireplace andfasten it to the framing using nails or screwsthrough the nailing strips.4) Assemble the desired combination of pipeand elbows to the appliance adaptor andtwist-lock for a solid connection.Note:a) Twist-lock procedure: Four indentations,located on the female ends of pipes andfittings, are designed to slide straightonto the male ends of adjacent pipesand fittings, by orienting the four pipeindentations so they match and slidein to the four entry slots on the maleends, Diagram 1. Push the pipe sectionscompletely together, then twist-lockone section clockwise approximatelyone-quarter turn, until the two sectionsare fully locked. The female locking lugswill not be visible from the outside, onthe Black Pipe or fittings. They may belocated by examining the inside of thefemale ends.Diagram 1b) Horizontal runs of flue must be supportedevery three feet. Wall straps are availablefor this purpose.5) Mark the wall for a 10" x 10" square hole. Thecenter of the square hole should line up withthe centerline of the horizontal pipe. Cut andframe the 10 inch square hole in the exteriorwall where the flue will be terminated. If thewall being penetrated is constructed of non-combustible material, i.e. masonry block orconcrete, a 7"(178mm) dia. (7-1/2"(191mm)dia. for flex) hole is acceptable.Diagram 2Note:a) The horizontal run of flue must be level,or have a 1/4 inch rise for every 1 footof run towards the termination. Neverallow the flue to run downward. Thiscould cause high temperatures and maypresent the possibility of a fire.b) The location of the horizontal fluetermination on an exterior wall must meetall local and national building codes,and must not be blocked or obstructed.For External Flue Terminal Locations,see diagram in section "Exterior FlueTermination Locations."6) The arrow on the flue cap shouldbe pointing up. Insure that the 1-1/2"clearances to combustible materials aremaintained. Install the termination cap,diagram 5.The four wood screws provided shouldbe replaced with appropriate fasteners forstucco, brick, concrete, or other types ofsidings.Note: If installing termination on a sidingcovered wall, a vinyl siding standoffor furring strips must be used toensure that the termination is notrecessed into the siding.7) Before connecting the horizontal run offlue pipe to the flue termination, slide theWall Thimble (Part # 620-926) over the fluepipe.Note: Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to inner pipeand high temperature silicone sealantto outer pipe on everytwist-lock joint.Note: WithD u r a - Ve n t ,the minimumh e i g h t i sachieved byinstalling a9 0 o e l b o wdirectly to theflue adaptor.Diagram 4Diagram 3
