SOLID FUEL BURNING APPLIANCE.
This appliance is designed to attach to a 100
mm diameter twin skin or listed gas fuel type
flue liner running the full length of the chimney.A
minimum flue height of 1.5 m. is recommended.
The Regency Inbuilt Fireplace incorporates
its own internal draft diverter, so no additional
external draft diverter is required.
Periodically check that the flue is unrestricted
and an adequate draft is present when the unit
is in operation.
Before installing flue system ensure that the
damper plate is open and secure to prevent the
damper plate from falling down and crushing
the liner.

The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shut-off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at
test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig.
(3.45 kPa). Disconnect piping from valve at
pressures over 3.45 kPa (14" w.c.).
Themanifoldpressureiscontrolledbyaregu-
lator built into the gas control, and should be
checked at the pressure test point.
Note: To properly check gas pressure,
bothinletandmanifoldpressures
