INSTALLATION

Due to the extreme heat this ﬁ replace emits, the mantel clearances are critical. Combustible mantel clearances from the top of unit are shown

in the diagrams below.

COMBUSTIBLE MANTELS

These drawings are to scale at 1:6 (one inch = 6 inches)

Mantel can be installed anywhere in shaded area or higher using the

above scale.

Note: Ensure the paint that is used on the mantel and the facing

is "heat resistant" or the paint may discolour.

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.

Regency® PG36-5 Gas Log Fireplace

Note: 40-1/2" (1029mm) is the minimum

height for both ﬂ ex termination or

Simpson Dura-Vent ﬂ ueing.

MANTEL LEG

CLEARANCES

Combustible mantel leg clearances as per

diagram below:

FRAMING AND

FINISHING

1) Determine the total thickness of facing

material (e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to

allow the ﬁ nished surface to be ﬂ ush with

the front of the unit. Total facing thickness

can vary from 1/2" (13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm)

Note:The unit does not have to be completely

enclosed in a chase. The clearance on

top of the unit is 0" to the standoffs so

combustible building materials can be

laid directly on top of the standoffs. You

must maintain 1-1/2" (38mm) clearance

from the ﬂ ue to combustible materials

for ﬂ ex (1-1/4" (32mm) for Simpson

Dura-Vent).

5) Use steel studs for framing where the

1-1/2" (38mm) clearance from the ﬂ ue to

combustible material cannot be maintained,

e.g. front top header.

2) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with

Regency® PG36-5 Gas Log Fireplace 9

INSTALLATION

FLUEING

INTRODUCTION

The PG36 uses the "balanced ﬂ ue" technology

Co Axial system. The inner liner ﬂ ues 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.

Note: These flue pipes must not be

connected to any other appliance.

The gas appliance and ﬂ ue system must be

ﬂ ued directly to the outside of the building,

and never be attached to a chimney serving a

separate solid fuel or gas burning appliance.

Each Co Axial Flue gas appliance must use

it's own separate ﬂ ue system. Common ﬂ ue

systems are prohibited.

Before the unit is slid into position, install the

provided spacers to the side of the ﬁ replace

as follows;

1) Align the screw locations on spacer with

screw locations on the side of the ﬁ rebox

and secure in place using 3 screws.

2) Repeat for other side.

NOTE: The side nailing strips are to be in-

stalled to the spacer after the spacer

is attached to the unit.

UNIT ASSEMBLY

PRIOR TO

INSTALLATION

The Top Facing Support, the Side Nailing Strips

and the 2 Top Standoffs must be correctly

positioned and attached to the top before unit

is slipped into position.

Top Standoff Assembly

The top standoffs are shipped in a ﬂ at position

and must be folded into shape and attached.

1) Remove the standoffs from the ﬁ replace top.

2) Take each standoff and bend into the correct

shape. Bend up at the bend lines until the

screw holes in the standoff and the pre-

punched screw holes on the ﬁ replace top

line up.

3) Attach the standoff securely to the top with

2 screws per standoff (on opposite corners).

Top Facing Support

Side Nailing Strips

Determine the total thickness of facing material

(e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to allow the

ﬁ nished surface to be ﬂ ush with the front of the

unit. Total facing thickness can vary from 1/2"

(13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm) thick.

The Top Facing Support can be mounted in 3

different positions depending on the thickness

of the facing material.

2) Fold out the two nailing strips on each side.

8) Slide the appliance and ﬂ ue assembly

towards the wall carefully inserting the

ﬂ ue pipe into the ﬂ ue cap assembly. It is

important that the ﬂ ue pipe extends into

the ﬂ ue cap sufﬁ cient distance so as to

result in a minimum pipe overlap of 1-1/4

inches. Secure the connection between the

ﬂ ue pipe and the ﬂ ue cap by attaching the

two sheet metal strips extending from the

ﬂ ue cap assembly into the outer wall of the

ﬂ ue pipe. Use the two sheet metal screws

provided to connect the strips to the pipe

section. See Diagram 4.

9) Install wall thimble in the center of the

10" square and attach with wood screws

(Diagram 5).

HORIZONTAL

TERMINATIONS

Install the ﬂ ue system according to the

manufacturer's instructions included with

the components.

1) Set the unit in its desired location. Check to

determine if wall studs or roof rafters are in

the way when the ﬂ ueing system is attached.

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 and

the electrical (junction block is on the left

side) on the left.

2) Co Axial Flue pipe and ﬁ ttings are designed

with special twist-lock connections to connect

the ﬂ ueing system to the appliance ﬂ ue outlet.

A twist-lock appliance adaptor is an available

option that must be used in conjunction with

the Simpson Dura-Vent Co Axial Flue GS

system.

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 ﬂ ue collar and fasten

to the outer collar only with the 3 supplied

screws (drilling pilot holes will make this

easier). Level the ﬁ replace and fasten it to

the framing using nails or screws through

the nailing strips.

4) Assemble the desired combination of pipe

and elbows to the appliance adaptor and

twist-lock for a solid connection.

Note:

a) Twist-lock procedure: Four indentations,

located on the female ends of pipes and

ﬁ ttings, are designed to slide straight

onto the male ends of adjacent pipes

and ﬁ ttings, by orienting the four pipe

indentations so they match and slide

in to the four entry slots on the male

ends, Diagram 1. Push the pipe sections

completely 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 ﬁ ttings. They may be

located by examining the inside of the

female ends.

Diagram 1

b) Horizontal runs of flue must be

supported every three feet. Wall straps

are available for this purpose.

5) Mark the wall for a 10" x 10" (254mm x

254mm) square hole. The center of the

square hole should line up with the centerline

of the horizontal pipe. Cut and frame the 10

inch (254mm) square hole in the exterior

wall where the ﬂ ue will be terminated. If the

wall being penetrated is constructed of non-

combustible material, i.e. masonry block or

concrete, a 7"(178mm) dia. (7-1/2"(191mm)

dia. for ﬂ ex) hole is acceptable.

Diagram 2

Note:

a) The horizontal run of ﬂ ue must be level,

or have a 1/4 inch (6mm) rise for every 1

foot (.3m) of run towards the termination.

Never allow the ﬂ ue to run downward.

This could cause high temperatures and

may present the possibility of a ﬁ re.

b) The location of the horizontal flue

termination on an exterior wall must meet

all local and national building codes, and

must not be blocked or obstructed. For

External Flue Terminal Locations, see

diagram in the "Exterior Flue Termination

Locations" section.

6) The arrow on the flue cap should

be pointing up. Insure that the 1-1/2"

clearances to combustible materials are

maintained. Install the termination cap,

diagram 5.

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 standoff

or furring strips must be used to

ensure that the termination is not

recessed into the siding.

7) Before connecting the horizontal run of

ﬂ ue pipe to the ﬂ ue termination, slide the

Wall Thimble (Part # 620-926) over the ﬂ ue

pipe.

Note: Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to inner

pipe and high temperature silicone

sealant to outer pipe on every twist-

lock joint.

Note: With Dura-Vent,

the minimum

height is

achieved by

installing a 90o

elbow directly

to the flue

adaptor.

Diagram 4

Diagram 3

Regency® PG36-5 Gas Log Fireplace

Offset Chart

Galvanized pipe is desirable above the rooﬂ ine

due to its higher corrosion resistance. Continue

to add pipe sections through the ﬂ ashing until

the height of the ﬂ ue cap meets the minimum

height requirements speciﬁ ed in Diagram 5 or

local codes. Note that for steep roof pitches,

the vertical height must be increased. A poor

draft, or down drafting can result from high wind

conditions near big trees or adjoining roof lines,

in these cases, increasing the ﬂ ue height may

solve the problem.

7) Ensure ﬂ ue is vertical and secure the base

of the ﬂ ashing to the roof with rooﬁ ng rails,

slide storm collar over the pipe section and

seal with a mastic.

8) Install the vertical termination cap by twist-

locking it.

Note: Any closets or storage spaces, which

the ﬂ ue passes through must be

enclosed.

Diagram 3

Diagram 5

Diagram 1

Diagram 2

Note: Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to inner pipe

and high temperature silicone seal-

ant to outer pipe on every twist-lock

joint.

VERTICAL

TERMINATIONS

1) Maintain the 1-1/4" (32mm)

clearances (air spaces) to

combustibles when passing

through ceilings, walls, roofs,

enclosures, attic rafter, or other

nearby combustible surfaces.

Do not pack air spaces with

insulation. Check seciotn

"Simpson Dura-vent Flueing"

for the maximum vertical rise of

the ﬂ ueing system and the

maximum horizontal offset

limitations.

2) Set the gas appliance in its

desired location. Drop a

plumb bob down from the

ceiling to the position of

the appliance ﬂ ue exit, and mark the location

where the ﬂ ue will penetrate the ceiling. Drill

a small hole at his point. Next, drop a plumb

bob from the roof to the hole previously

drilled in the ceiling, and mark the spot where

the ﬂ ue will penetrate the roof. Determine

if ceiling joists, roof rafters o r

other framing will obstruct the

ﬂ ueing system.

You may wish

to relocate the

appliance or to

offset, as shown

in Diagram 2

to avoid cutting

load bearing

members.

3) A Firestop spacer must be installed in the

ﬂ oor or ceiling of every level. To install the

Firestop spacer in a ﬂ at ceiling or wall,

cut a 10 inch square hole. Frame the hole

as shown in Diagram 3 and install the

ﬁ restop.

4) Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and

elbows. Ensure that all pipes and elbow

connections are in the fully twist-locked

position and sealed.

5) Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small

drilled hole placed in the roof in Step 2. The

hole should be of sufﬁ cient size to meet

the minimum requirements for clearance

to combustibles of 1-1/2" (38mm). Slip the

ﬂ ashing under the shingles (shingles should

overlap half the ﬂ ashing) as per Diagram

Diagram 4: The upper half of the ﬂ ashing is

installed under the rooﬁ ng material and not

nailed down until the chimney is installed. This

allows for small adjustments.

6) Continue to assemble pipe lengths.

Note: If an offset is necessary in the attic

to avoid obstructions, it is important

to support the ﬂ ue pipe every 3 feet,

to avoid excessive stress on the

elbows, and possible separation.

Wall straps are available for this

purpose (Diagram 2).

also be used if approved by AS5601-2004.

The gas connection at the valve is 1/2 male.

For minimum and maximum supply pressure

see the System Data Table.

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 3.45 kPa (14" w.c.).

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" (# 3) and/or "OUT" (# 4)

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" (8mm) ID

hose.

4) Seal and or check the pilot outlet (# 8)

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. Screw should be snug, but do

not over tighten.
