INSTALLATION
VENT RESTRICTORS #1 AND #2
Vent restrictors are required for certain venting installations,
see the diagrams on pages 13 and 14 to determine if they are
required for your installation. The two vent restrictors are
supplied with your unit. If a vent restrictor is required it must be
insteiied prior to connecting the pipe to the twist>lock
appliance adaptor.
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.
IMPORTANT
Read all instructions carefully before starting the installation.
Failure to follow these instructions may create a fire or other
safety hazard, and will void the warranty. Be sure to check the
venting and clearance to combustible requirements. Consult
your local building codes before beginning installation.
The location of the termination cap must conform to the
requirements in the Exterior Vent Terminal Locations diagram
on page 12.
Slide the restrictor into
the adaptor collar and
push the tabs down
between the inner flue
collar and the inside
pipe of the twist-lock
appliance adaptor. See
the diagram below.
The same procedure is
used for vent restrictor
#2.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
These venting systems are engineered products that have
been designed and tested for use with the U45-NG2, U45-LP2,
U29-NG1, and U29-LP1. The warranty will be voided and
serious fire, health or other safety hazards may result from any
of the following actions:
1) Installation of any damaged Direct Vent component
2) Unauthorized modification of the Direct Vent System
3) Installation of any component part not manufactured or
approved by Simpson Dura-Vent or Fireplace Products
International Ltd.
4) Installation other than as Instructed by Simpson Dura-
Vent and Fireplace Products International Ltd.
Warning: Always maintain required clearances (air spac¬
es) to nearby combustibles to preventafire hazard. Do not
fill air spaces with insulation.
Be sure to check the vent termination clearance requirements
from decks, windows, soffits, gas regulators, air supply inlets
and puWic walkways as specified in the Exterior Vent Terminal
Locations on page 12 and in your local building codes.
The DV Stove Horizontal Vent Kit and the Simpson Dura-Vent
Direct Vent System Model DV-GS venting systems, In combi¬
nation with the ULTIMATE Direct Vent Freestanding Gas
Stove, U45-NG2, U45-LP2, U29-NG1. and U29-LP1. have
been tested and listed as direct vent heater systems by
Warnock Mersey.
The gas appliance and vent system must be vented direct¬
ly 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,
These units use the "balanced flue" technology Co-Axial
system. The inner liner vents products of combustion to the
outside while the outer pipe 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.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR
THE INSTALLER
1) Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection.
2) Exercise extreme caution when using ladders or on roof
tops.
3) Be aware of electrical wiring locations in walls and ceil¬
ings.

4) If installing the vent termination to a wall with vinyl siding,
the Vinyl Siding Standoff must be used. Attach the Vln^
Siding Standoff to the Horizontal Vent Termination, but
first run a bead of non-hardening mastic around its
outside edges, so as to make a seal between vent cap
and the standoff. Install the Vinyl Siding Standoff (Part#
950) between the vent cap and the exterior wall and
attach with the four wood screws provided. Seal around
the Vinyl Siding Standoff on all four sides. Diagram 5.
The arrow on the vent cap should be pointing up.
Insure that the 1-1/4" clearances to combustible materi¬
als are maintained. See diagram 5,
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. The four wood screws provided should
be replaced with appropriate fasteners for stucco,
brick, concrete, orothertypes of sidings.
5} Before connecting the horizontal run of vent pipe to the
vent termination, slide the black decorative wall thimble
cover over the vent pipe, then slide the Wall Thimble (Part
# 942) over the vent pipe.
S) Slide the appliance and vent assembly towards the wall
carefully Inserting the vent pipe into the vent cap assem¬
bly. It is important that the vent pipe extends into the vent
cap a sufficient distance so as to result in a minimum pipe
overlap of 1-1/4 inches. Secure the connection between
the vent pipe and the vent cap by attacliing the two sheet
metal strips extending from the vent cap assembly into the
outer wall of the vent pipe. Use the two sheet metal screws
provided to connect the strips to the pipe. Bend any
remaining portion of the sheet metal strip back towards the
vent cap, so it will be concealed by the decorative wall
thimble cover. See diagram 6.

MAINTENANCE
DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE IF ANY PART HAS BEEN
UNDER WATER. IMMEDIATELY CALL A QUALIFIED
SERVICE TECHNICIAN TO INSPECT THE APPLIANCE
AND TO REPLACE ANY PART OF CONTROL SYSTEM
AND ANY GAS CONTROL WHICH HAS BEEN UNDER
WATER._
CAUTION: ANY SAFETY SCREEN OR GUARD REMOVED
FOR SERVICING AN APPLIANCE MUST BE REPLACED
PRIOR TO OPERATING THE APPLIANCE.
CLOTHING OR OTHER FLAMMABLE MATERIAL SHOULD
NOT BE PLACED ON OR NEAR THE APPLIANCE.
7) Each time the appliance is lit. it may cause condensation
and fog the glass. This condensation and fog is normal
and will disappear in a few minutes as the glass heats up.
Never operate the appliance without the g lass proper¬
ly secured in place or with the door open.
8) Periodically check the pilot flames. Correct flame pattern
has three strong blue flames: 1 flowing around the ther¬
mopile and 1 around the thermocouple, and 1 flowing
across the rear of the burner (it does not have to be
touching the burner).
GENERAL VENT MAINTENANCE
Conduct an inspection of the venting system semi-annually.
Recommended areas to inspect as follows:
1) Check the Venting System for corrosion in areas that are
exposed to the elements. These will appear as rust spots
or streaks, and in extreme cases, holes. These compo¬
nents should be replaced immediately.
2) Remove the Cap, and shine a flashlight down the Vent.
Remove any bird nests, or other foreign material.
3) Check for evidences of excessive condensation, such as
water droplets forming in the inner liner, and subsequently
dripping out the joints. Continuous condensation can
cause corrosion of caps, pipe, and fittings. It may be
caused by having excessive lateral runs, too many el¬
bows, and exterior portions of the system being exposed
to cold weather.
4) Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe sections or fittings
have been disturbed, and consequently loosened. Also
check mechanical supports such as Wall Straps, or plumb¬
ers* tape for rigidity,
Not 0 : If you have an incorrect flame pattern, contact
your Regency dealer for further instructions. LOG REPLACEMENT

The unit should never be used with broken logs. Turn off the
gas valve and allow the unit to cool before opening door to
carefully remove the logs. The pilot light generates enough
heat to burn someone. If for any reason a log should need
replacement, you must use the proper replacement log. The
position of these logs must be as shown in the diagram under
Log Installation.
Note: Improper positioning of logs may create carbon

GOLD-PLATED DOORS
The 24 carat gold plated finish on the door requires tittle
maintenance, and need only be cleaned with a damp cloth. DO
NOT use abrasive materials or chemical cleaners, as they may
harm the finish and void the warranty. Clean any fingerprints off
before turning the unit on. If the door starts to discolour,
check the gasket seal and replace If necessary.
