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.
This drawing is to scale at 1:6 (one inch = 6 inches). Mantel can be installed anywhere in shaded

The clearances listed below are Minimum dis-
tances unless otherwise stated:

Floor 0" (0mm)
NOTE: The minimum floor clearance must be
maintained from the top surface of the carpet-
ing, tile, etc.

See page 9 for assembly details.
2) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with
framing material.
3) For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to
the same degree as the rest of the house,
apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per lo-
cal 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 suit-
able combustible finishing materials.

For a facing material depth of
1-1/4"(32mm), the top facing
support must be reversed.
TheTopFacingSupport,theSideNailingStrips
and the 2 Top Standoffs must be correctly po-
sitioned 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 cor-
rect shape.
1) Remove the standoffs from on top of the
firebox by undoing the screws.
2) Take each standoff and bend into the cor-
rect shape. Bend up at the bend lines until
the screw holes in the standoff and the
pre-punchedscrewholesonthefireboxtop

3) Attachthestandoffssecurelytothetopwith
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 mate-
rial (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
canbe mountedin variouspositionsdepending
on the thickness of the facing material.

FLUEING INTRODUCTION
The PG33 uses the "balanced flue" technology CoAxial system. The inner liner flues 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 2 flue systems approved for use with the PG33: the Regency Direct Flue System (Flex) for Horizontal Terminations only (see pages 11-
12), and the Simpson Dura-Flue Systems for Horizontal and Vertical Terminations (see pages 13-25).
Note: These flue pipes must not be connected to any other appliance.
The gas appliance and flue system must be flueed 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 flue gas appliance must use it's own separate flue system. Common flue systems are prohibited.
NOTE: Ensure compliance with the outside flue terminal location before cutting hole as both dimensions must be met.
