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 area or higher using the above scale.
Note: Ensure the paint that is used on the mantel and the facing is "heat resistant" or the paint may discolour.

INSTALLATION
FRAMING & FINISHING
1. Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing material.
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.)
WARNING: Failure to insulate and add vapor barriers to the inside of the exterior wall will result in operational and performance 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. Tile Finish Option 1: Drywall may be installed onto the unit as shown below to create a surface to apply finishing materials such as tile, slate, etc.
Drywall cannot extend onto the metal surface of the unit.
5. Tile Finish Option 2: If applying a non-combustible finishing material (tile,slate,brick, stone, mantel, surround etc) the material can be installed directly
onto the metal surface of the unit in the area shown below.

1. There are 8 (eight) side nailing strips and one top nailing strip available on the unit. One set of four (4) are for a clean finish (board only, painted) installation,
the other set are for a non-combustible finish (ex. tile, concrete, mantel, surround) as they are set back 1/2" (13mm). The top nailing strip is adjustable
to 1/2" (13mm).
2. Bend the required four (4) nailing strips to 90º.
3. Attach top nailing strip with one (1) screw (located at the back of the nailing strip). Adjust to required position, flush or back 1/2" and tighten screw.

7) Non-combustible material (ie. tile, slate, etc) may be brought up to the edge of the glass door of the unit. Minimum clearances must be adhered to, this
will assure ease of glass door removal and access to the lower panel.
NOTE: Non-combustible finishing materials may be of any thickness desired.
Minimum Clearances for Finishing Materials Trim materials
Combustible and Non-combustible Facing and Finishing
Materials around unit.
Note: All non-combustible facing material should butt up cleanly
to the flanges around the firebox opening.
Rough edges may be visible from an angle.
To maintain a clean finished edge - facing material edges
may be finished with a J-style trim or metal cornerbead (both
materials available at your local building or hardware store).
IMPORTANT: Materials used must be NON-COMBUSTIBLE.
6) If applying a non-combustible facing it may be installed over the metal surface of the firebox of the unit in the area shown below.
IMPORTANT FINISHING DETAIL NOTE:
Before placing unit into final position - it is important to know the
total thickness / height of finished hearth (tile, carpet, flooring etc.)
TheVeronaSurround orthe ModeraMantel mustbe levelto orhigher
than the finished hearth height.
NOTE: The 3-1/2" x 34-9/16" non combustible material supplied with this unit can be replaced if trying to achieve a clean finish. A large piece of non com-
bustible material (ie. 4' x 8' x 1/2") can be used to eliminate taped seams on or near unit.

16 P33CE Direct Vent Gas Fireplace
INSTALLATION
VENTING INTRODUCTION
The P33CE 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.
There are 5 vent systems approved for use with the P33CE: the Regency®Direct Vent Flex System for Horizontal Terminations only and the Simpson
Dura-Vent Pro, Selkirk Direct-Temp, Amerivent Direct Vent, Metal-Fab Sure Seal, Security Secure Vent and ICC Excel Direct for Horizontal and Vertical
Terminations (see following "Venting" Sections for more details).
Note: These flue pipes must not be connected to any other appliance.
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. (See "Rigid
Pipe Venting System" for more details and exceptions).
NOTE: Ensure compliance with the outside vent terminal location before cutting hole as both dimensions must be met.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
for Regency®Direct Vent System (Flex)
Minimum and Maximum Vent Clearances
1) Locate the unit in the framing, rough in the gas
(preferablyonthe right side of the unit)and the
electrical (Junction block is on the left side) on
theleft.Locatethecenterlineofthetermination
and mark wall accordingly. Cut a 10"(254mm)
hole in the wall (inside dimension).
Note: Tomaketheinstallationmoreaesthetically
pleasing, we recommend framing out a
square to mount the terminal to.
*If this is an outside corner, the minimum distance between the vent and the outside
corneris6"(15cm)with AstroCap termination cap or 12" (30cm) with Dura-Vent ter-
minationcap.See"F"inthediagramin"ExteriorVentTerminationLocations"Section.
Note: A 2-1/2" (64mm) horizontal top and
1-1/2"(38mm)horizontalsides&bottom
clearancearoundthelinermustbemain-
tainedexceptthatonlya1"(25mm)clear-
ance is needed at the termination end.
We recommend framing a 10"(254mm)
x 10"(254mm) (inside dimensions) hole
to give structural rigidity for mounting
the termination.
Note: If installing termination on a siding
covered wall, furring strips must be
used to ensure that the termination is
not recessed into the siding.
2) Level the fireplace and fasten it to the framing
usingnailsorscrewsthroughthenailingstrips.
3) Assemble the vent assembly by applying
Mill Pac to the 4"(100mm) inner collar of the
termination and slipping the 4"(100mm) liner
overitatleast1-3/8"(35mm).Fastenwiththe3
screws(drillingpilotholeswillmakethiseasier).
Apply Mill Pac or high temperature silicone to
the6-7/8"(175mm) flexpipeand slipitoverthe
6-7/8" outer collar of the vent terminal at least
1-3/8"(35mm) and fasten with the 3 screws.
4) Separate the 2 halves of the wall thimble and
securely fasten the one with the tabs to the
outside wall making sure that the tabs are on
top and bottom. Fasten the other thimble half
totheinsidewall.Thethimblehalvesslipinside
each other and can be adjusted for 2 x 4 or 2 x
6walls. The liners mustslipover the collars
a minimum of 1-3/8".
5) Slip the assembled liner and termination as-
sembly through the thimble making sure the
termination cap faces up (there are markings
onthecapthatshowwhichwayisup).Thiswill
position the termination cap with proper down
slope for draining water. Fasten the cap to the
outer wall with the 4 supplied screws.
6) Pull the centre 4"(100mm) liner and outer
6-7/8"(175mm) liner out enough to slip over
the flue collars of the fireplace.
7) Apply Mill Pac over the fireplace inner collar
and slip the 4"(100mm) liner down over it and
attach with 3 supplied screws.
8) Do the same with the 6-7/8"(175mm) liner.
9) Applyabeadof silicone between the thimble
andterminationandaroundtheouteredgeof
the terminal at the wall in order to keep the
water out.
IMPORTANT: Do not locate termination
hood where excessive snow or ice
buildup may occur. Be sure to check
vent termination area after snow falls,
