COMBUSTIBLE MANTELS
INSTALLATION
WARNING
Fire hazard is an extreme risk if
these clearances are not ahered to.
Clearances for Bay or Flush Front
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.
MANTEL LEG CLEARANCES
Combustible mantel leg clearances as per diagram below:
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.

TheTopFacingSupport,theSide NailingStrips
and the 2 Top Standoffs must be correctly po-
sitioned and attached to the top before the unit
is put into position.
Top Standoff Assembly
The top standoffs are shipped in a flat position
and must be pulled up and bent into the cor-
rect shape.
1) Remove the standoffs from on top of the
firebox by undoing the screws.
2) Take each standoff and bend into the cor-
rect shape. Bend up at the bend lines until
the screw holes in the standoff and the

3) Attachthe standoffssecurelyto thetopwith
4 screws per standoff.
Note: Secure the standoffs to the holes
closest to the edge of the firebox top.
Top Facing Support &
Side Nailing Strips
Determine the total thickness of facing mate-
rial (e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to allow the
finished surface to be flush with the front of the
unit. Total facing thickness can vary from 1/2"
(13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm) thick.
The Top Facing Support & Side Nailing Strips
canbe mountedinvariouspositionsdepending
on the thickness of the facing material.
1) Mount Top Facing Support using the 3
suppliedscrews intothethree pre-punched

2) Mount Side Nailing Strip using the 3 sup-
plied screws into the three pre-punched
screw holes at the front sides of the unit.
Adjust support to desired facing material
thickness.
UNIT ASSEMBLY
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
FLUEING INTRODUCTION
The P33 uses the "balanced flue" technology Co Axial system. The inner liner flues 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 2 flue systems approved for use with the P33: the Regency®Direct Flue System (Flex) for Horizontal Terminations only, and the Simpson
Dura-Vent Systems for Horizontal and Vertical Terminations.
Note: These flue pipes must not be connected to any other appliance.
The gas appliance and flue system must be flueed 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 flue gas appliance must use it's own separate flue system. Common flue systems are prohibited.
NOTE: Ensure compliance with the outside flue terminal location before cutting hole as both dimensions must be met.
