COMBUSTIBLE MANTELS
Because of the extreme heat this fireplace emits, the mantel clearances are critical.
Combustible mantel clearances from top of unit are shown in the diagram below.
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.

Combustible mantel leg clearances as per diagram below:
This drawing is 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.
CLEARANCES
The clearances listed below are Minimum
distances unless otherwise stated:
A major cause of chimney related fires is
failure to maintain required clearances (air

INSTALLATION
3) For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to
the same degree as the rest of the house,
apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per
local installation codes. (Do not insulate
the fireplace itself.)
4) The top of the unit must not be closer than
30" (762mm) to the ceiling.
5) Combustible material may be brought up to
the top and sides of the unit and be covered
with ceramic tiles, bricks, rock or other
suitable combustible finishing materials.
Note: Theunit doesnothavetobe 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 clearance from
the vent to combustible materials
for flex or for Rigid Vent (Refer to
"Clearances" Section).
1) Determine the total thickness of facing
material (e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to
allow the finished surface to be flush with
the front of the unit. Total facing thickness
can vary from 1/2" (13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm)
thick.
6) Use steel studs for framing where the
1-1/2" (38mm) clearance from the vent
to combustible material cannot be
maintained.
2) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with
framing material.

The Top Facing Support, the Side Nailing Strips
and the 2 Top Standoffs must be correctly
positioned and attached to the top before the
unit is put into position.
Top Standoff Assembly
The top standoffs are shipped in a flat position
and must be pulled up and bent into the correct
shape.
1) Remove the standoffs from on top of the
firebox by undoing the screws.
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 firebox top
line-up.
3) Attach the standoffs securely to the top with
4 screws per standoff.
Note: Secure the standoffs to the holes
closest to the edge of the firebox top.
Top Facing Support &
Side Nailing Strips
Determine the total thickness of facing material
(e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to allow the
finished surface to be flush 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 & Side Nailing Strips
can be mounted in various positions depending
on the thickness of the facing material.
1) Mount Top Facing Support using the 3
supplied screws into the three pre-punched
screw holes on the top front of the unit.Adjust
support to desired facing material depth.
2) Mount Side Nailing Strip using the 3
supplied screws into the three pre-punched
screw holes at the front sides of the unit.
Adjust support to desired facing material
thickness.
UNIT ASSEMBLY PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
VENTING INTRODUCTION
The P33-4 uses the "balanced flue" 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.
There are 5 vent systems approved for use with the P33-4: the Regency®Direct Vent Flex System for Horizontal Terminations only and the Simpson
Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct-Temp, Amerivent Direct Vent and Security Secure Vent Systems for Horizontal and Vertical Terminations (see following
"Venting" Sections for more details).
Note: These flue 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
solid fuel or gas burning appliance. Each direct vent gas appliance must use it's own separate vent system. Common vent systems are prohibited.
(See "Rigid Pipe 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 of
1-1/4"(32mm), the top facing
support must be reversed.
