INSTALLATION
HORIZONTAL VENT DEFLECTOR INSTALLATION
NAILING STRIPS
The side, top and bottom nailing strips come attached to the unit. There
are 3 plates on each side and 2 on the bottom - 8 in total. They can be
foldedoutasrequired. Thebottomnailingstripissecuredtotheunfinished
floor - if installing the unit directly on the floor.
Note: This installation is only required for horizontal terminations.
If any rise is used when venting this unit - the deflector and
extender are not required.
1) The deflector and extender are shipped on top of the firebox.
Slide the deflector out from under the nailing strip and lift the
extender up off the nailing strip.
2) Remove the 3 screws near the vent outlet on the firebox - as shown
below.
3) Install the deflector near the vent outlet - secure with the same
3 screws. Ensure flange on deflector is facing downward.
4) Install the extender on top of the deflector with 2 screws -
slide the extender until it touches the outside wall - tighten
screws to secure. Extender can be adjusted to max. 15-1/2".

STANDOFF ASSEMBLY
The side, top and rear standoffs are shipped in a flat position and must
be folded into shape and attached.
1) Remove the standoffs from the fireplace.
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 fireplace side line up.
3) Attach the standoff securely to the side with 2 screws per standoff (on
opposite corners).
Nailing Strips shown folded out.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Framing depth measurement is noted with the
side & top nailing strips set as far forward on
the firebox as possible. The nailing strips can
be adjusted back up to 1” to allow for varying
thicknesses in non-combustible material & wall
finishes.

INSTALLATION
Note: When constructing the framed opening, please ensure there is
access to install the gas lines when the unit is installed.
2) The unit does not have to be completely enclosed in a chase. You must
maintain clearances from the vent to combustible materials: See "Clear-
ances" section. Combustible materials can be laid against the side and
back standoffs and the stove base.
3) 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 1-1/2" as shown in the diagram below. The
faceplate will not be able to be mounted if the finished material is beyond
1-1/2".
FRAMING & FINISHING
1) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing material.
IMPORTANT: Vertical studs and the header must be metal.
Note:
Dependingon the material used for finishing,thenailingstrips must be set ac-
cordinglysothatthefinishedmaterialisalwaysatthe1-1/2"edgeoftheflange.
4) If material such as brick, stone, etc. extends past the faceplate depth,
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.

The Power Vent System is a Direct Vent Terminal designed to allow installation of gas appliances where typical vent configurations cannot be achieved.
These installation instructions must be used in conjunction with the appliance and appropriate Power Vent components installation instructions.
120 Volt power supply is required to operate this system (see Electrical Installation section in this manual).
Clearances listed in these Instructions supersede those in the appliance's Installation Instructions.
Models Equipped with Surefire Ignition
The power vent system can only be used with units that have been tested with the Regency Power Vent system.
Downward vertical vent runs are permitted with the Surefire Ignition system. See vent configuration in this manual.

Note: Optional 5 wire BX cable comes in 20' or 60' lengths as required.
Wires are color coded for ease of installation.
1) Frame in opening for the Power Vent Terminal by first determining the
correct height - frame in an 11-3/4" x 11-3/4" opening.
3) Install the Power Vent outer frame with 4 screws - screw locations
shown below.
Important: Orient the frame so the BX cable will pass through in the lower
left corner.
4) Remove the plate from the bottom right corner of the frame by removing
2 screws from the inside of the frame.
7) Feed a length of BX cable through - (approx. 18") the plate and tighten
the strain relief grommet to the plate.
2) Feed the BX cable through the firestop - ensure protective grommet is in
place before feeding the cable through.
