* Framing depth measurement is noted with the nailing strips set as far forward on the firebox as possible.
The nailing strips can be adjusted back up to 38mm to allow for varying thicknesses in non-combustible
material & wall finishes.
NOTE: A minimum thickness of 12mm non-combustible facing board compliant with AS1530-1 and AS1530-3 is required.

NON COMBUSTIBLE FACING INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Prior to installation of non-combustible materials by oth-
ers, check and inspect carefully for any hairline cracks and
or damage to board. The non combustible board must be
a minimum of 12mm thick and comply with AS1530-1 and
AS1530-3. Material which is thinner may crack as a result
due to the high temperatures this appliance emits.
1) Using screws for use with non-combustible boards-secure non-
combustible material around unit, framing and top nailing strip every
150mm
Important Note: To avoid cracking the board-pre-drill holes prior
to securing to unit/framing.
2) Wipe any debris/dust from the non-combustible material and dry wall.
3) Prior to securing, it is mandatory to prime the facing and edges using
a quality primer. This will ensure proper adhesion of the tape, filler and
paint.
Failure to follow this procedure will result in cracked seams.
4) Tape the seams using a mesh type tape.
5) Fill seams as normal. Avoid using filler which shrinks excessively.
Filler must be cured as per manufacturer's recommendations.
6) Prime wall for a second time for proper adhesion of paint.
7) Paint walls using a high quality paint which will withstand the high
temperatures being emitted from this appliance.
IMPORTANT
Regency Fireplace Products are designed, produced, tested and
certified to the highest industry standards. The finishing of the walls
surrounding Regency is as critical as the installation itself. The tem-
peratures around linear gas fireplaces are typically higher than would
be acceptable for the combustible materials. Your Regency Fireplace
is no exception to this rule. Therefore, the units are specified with
non-combustible required materials to specific dimensions above and
around the units. This is due to these areas reaching higher temperature
levels than required/acceptable for a combustible material. To obtain
the best, most durable finish around your fireplace, this calls for a high
level of care and attention to the preparation and finish around this
appliance, using only the highest quality materials, able to withstand
the temperatures produced.
By following the installation instructions in the manual exactly, you will
increase your chances for a damage free finish.
Every precaution is taken in providing the recommendations on prepara-
tion and finish, given the variation in paint quality, with temperature limits
and workmanship applied to or used in any application surrounding
the fireplace. This includes framing as well as finishing.
Over time natural convection from any fireplace can cause discoloration
in the area directly above the appliance. Lower quality paints, under
prepared finishes, poor applications and any framing discrepancies or
in the installation can cause this discoloration process to be expedited.
Discoloration is not the responsibility of Regency Fireplace Products,
we believe careful attention to the recommendations provided here will
be result in aesthetically pleasing result free of issues outlined above.
NOTE: When applying 12mm minimum non-combustible board to frame-
work it is advisable to use the same 12mm minimum non-combustible
board on the whole front face of the wall.
When using a standard fascia cut out the clean edge trim opening plus
a further 10 mm border.
When using a 15mm finishing trim cut out the clean edge trim opening
plus a further 4mm border.
When using painted 12mm minimum non-combustible board as finished
wall surface use 15mm finishing trim.
When using clean edge trim do not seal heater to finished wall material.
The above will allow for possible expansion and contraction.

FRAMING & FINISHING
Note: When constructing the framed opening, please ensure
there is access to install the gas lines when the unit is
installed.
2) 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 and/or the
flueing. Clearances must be maintained as per this manual.)
WARNING: Failure to insulate and add vapor barriers to the
inside of the exterior wall will result in operational and per-
formance problems including, but not limited to: excessive
condensation on glass doors, poor flame package, carbon,
blue flames etc. These are not product related issues.
3) The unit does not have to be completely enclosed in a chase. You
must maintain clearances from the vent to combustible materials:
See "Clearances" section. Combustible materials can be laid
against the side and back standoffs and the stove base.
4) Non-combustible material (ie. tile, slate, etc) may be brought up to
and overlap the unit (top and bottom) ensuring that the maximum
thickness does not go beyond the 38mm as shown in the diagram
below. The faceplate will not be able to be mounted if finished
material is beyond 38mm.
1) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing material.
IMPORTANT:The framed opening must be of non-combustible
material.
5) If material such as brick, stone, etc extends past the faceplate depth 38mm,
when finishing around the faceplate, the minimum opening dimensions
noted below must be adhered to ensuring for the removal of the faceplate
and for the safe operation of this appliance.
NOTE: Spacing of 25mm around the completed surround must be adhered to.

COMBUSTIBLE REQUIREMENTS
FRAMING & FINISHING
Note:
Depending on the material used for finishing, the nailing
strips must be set accordingly so that the finished material
is always at the 38mm edge of the flange.

Flue restriction is required for certain venting installations, see the diagrams
in the "Flueing
Arrangements" section to determine if they are required for your installation.
The Flue Restrictor plate is located on the inside top of the firebox.
To set the flue restriction as indicated in the flueing arrangements diagrams,
refer to the following instructions;
1. Remove the glass door and inner panels - see instructions in this manual.
2. Remove 6 screws (3 front - 3 back) to remove heat baffle to access restrictor
plate.
3. Remove the screws that hold the flue restrictor in place.

FLUEING INTRODUCTION
The GF900L 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.
Note: These ue pipes must not be connected to any other appliance.
The gas appliance and flue 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 flue system. Common flue systems are prohibited.
FLUEING ARRANGEMENT FOR HORIZONTAL TERMINATIONS
The diagram shows all allowable combinations of vertical runs with horizontal terminations, using one 90o (two 45o elbows equal one 90o elbow).
Note: Must use optional rigid pipe adapter (Part# 510-994) when using Simpson Dura Vent Only.
• Maintain clearances to combustibles as listed in "Clearances" section
• Horizontal ue must be supported every 0.9m
• A ue guard should be used whenever the termination is lower than the specied minimum or as per local codes.
• Flex system can only be used up to 3m in total length- otherwise rigid venting must be used.
