E33 Gas Insert Zero Clearance Kit

E33 Gas Insert Zero Clearance Kit Speciﬁ cations

GENERAL INFORMATION

This kit consists of factory built parts that require minimal assembly to form the Zero Clearance enclosure for the E33 Gas

Insert. The enclosure can then be ﬁ xed into a framed combustible construction, and a standard Simpson Dura-Vent Direct Vent

GS System installed on the assembly for the required venting. The insert can be installed later. The faceplate will normally

overlap on top of the ﬁ nished wall.

INSTALLATION

CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES

The clearances for the Zero Clearance Kit are 0" to combustibles (back, side and ﬂ oor) but when planning your installation

review the clearances required for the Insert (see below) after it is installed in the Zero Clearance Kit.

Warning: Combustible facing materials must not extend inside the 1/2" (13mm) lip at the edge of the face panels.

Any non-combustible facing materials (such as ceramic tile or masonry face brick) up to 1-1/2" (38mm) thick may be used to

ﬁ nish the area inside the 1/2" (13mm) lip on the face panels. Non-combustible tile backer board such as Wonderboard or Durock

, or metal lath or screen may be fastened directly to the front of the face panels to provide a base for attaching facing materials

if needed. The Zero Clearance Kit must be installed on a ﬂ at, solid, continuous surface (e.g. wood, metal, concrete).

Because of the extreme heat this ﬁ replace emits, the mantel clearances are critical.

Combustible mantel clearances from top of unit are shown in the above diagrams.

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.

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.

FRAMING

1)

The cabinet face panels have a 1/2" (13mm) lip to deﬁ ne the zones for

combustible and non-combustible facing materials: outside the lip, any

material up to 1/2" (13mm) may be used; inside the lip, only non-combus-

tible materials may be used (with a maximum thickness of 1-1/2" (38mm)).

The kit may be installed directly on and/or against standard combustible

building materials. Refer to Page 3 for diagram.

2)

Frame in the enclosure for the Kit with framing material. The framed

opening for the assembled kit is 52" (1321 mm) high x 50-1/4" (1276

mm) wide x 18-1/2" (470 mm) deep. See diagram.

If the interior of the cabinet framing is ﬁ nished (with sheet rock,

for example), The dimensions given are from the inside of the

ﬁ nished surfaces. The ceiling inside the framed enclosure

should be a minimum of 55-1/2" (1410mm) from the base.

3)

For exterior walls, use a vapour barrier and insulate the enclo-

sure to the same degree as the rest of the house, or according

to local installation codes. In colder climates, if the heater is

to be installed against an exterior wall or chase, insulate the exterior walls according to local installation codes.

SIMPSON DURA-VENT VENTING

COMPONENTS LIST

All Simpson Dura-Vent components are available directly from Regency.

VENTING INTRODUCTION

The E33 Insert uses the "balanced ﬂ ue" technology Co.

Axial system. The inner liner vents 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 ﬂ ue pipes must not be connected to any

other appliance. Do not common-vent.

The location of the termination cap must conform to the require-

ments in the Vent Terminal Locations indicated in the diagram

on page 4.

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 solid fuel or gas burning appliance. Each

direct vent gas appliance must use it's own separate vent

system. Common vent systems are prohibited.

Note: The unit cannot be terminated horizontally,

only vertically.
