Regency®P36-4 Gas Log Fireplace 7
Because of the extreme heat this fireplace emits, the mantel clearances are critical. Combustible mantel clearances from top of unit are shown in Diagrams 1 & 2.
COMBUSTIBLE MANTELS
These drawings are 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.
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.

Simpson Dura-Vent flueing.
Note: The unit does not have to be
completely enclosed in a chase. The
clearance on top of the unit is 0" to
the standoffs so combustible building
materials can be laid directly on top
of the standoffs. You must maintain
1-1/2" (38mm) clearance from the
flue to combustible materials for flex
(1-1/4" for Simpson Dura-Vent ).
5) Use steel studs for framing where the
1-1/2" (38mm) clearance from the flue to
combustible material cannot be maintained,
e.g. front top header.

reversed.
UNIT ASSEMBLY
PRIOR TO
INSTALLATION
The Top Facing Support, the Side Nailing Strips
and the 2 Top Standoffs must be correctly
positioned and attached to the top before unit
is slipped into position.
Top Standoff Assembly
The top standoffs are shipped in a flat position
and must be folded into shape and attached.
1) Remove the standoffs from the fireplace
top.
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 top
line up.
3) Attach the standoff securely to the top with 2
screws per standoff (on opposite corners).
Top Facing Support and
Side Nailing Strips
Determine the total thickness of facing material
(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 can
be mounted in 3 different positions depending
on the thickness of the facing material.
Screw Facing Material
Position Depth
A 1/2" / 13mm
B 7/8" / 22mm
C*1-1/4" / 32mm
*For "C" screw position the top facing support
is reversed.
1) Mount Top Facing Support using the 3
supplied screws into the three pre-punched
screw holes on the top front of the unit. Use
hole positions A, B, or C depending on your
facing depth.
2) Use the same screw hole position for the
Side Nailing Strips as was used for the Top
Facing Support. Attach each side nailing
strip using 3 screws.
INSTALLATION
Before the unit is slid into position, install the
provided spacers to the side of the fireplace
as follows;
1) Align the screw locations on spacer with
screw locations on the side of the firebox
and secure in place using 3 screws.
2) Repeat for other side.

FLUEING
INTRODUCTION
The P36 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.
Note: These flue pipes must not be
connected to any other appliance.
The gas appliance and flue system must be
flued directly to the outside of the building,
and never be attached to a chimney serving a
separate solid fuel or gas burning appliance.
Each Co Axial Flue gas appliance must use
it's own separate flue system. Common flue
systems are prohibited.

8) Slide the appliance and flue assembly
towards the wall carefully inserting the
flue pipe into the flue cap assembly. It is
important that the flue pipe extends into
the flue cap sufficient distance so as to
result in a minimum pipe overlap of 1-1/4
inches. Secure the connection between the
flue pipe and the flue cap by attaching the
two sheet metal strips extending from the
flue cap assembly into the outer wall of the
flue pipe. Use the two sheet metal screws
provided to connect the strips to the pipe
section. See Diagram 4.
9) Install wall thimble in the center of the
10" square and attach with wood screws
(Diagram 5).
HORIZONTAL
TERMINATIONS
Install the flue system according to the
manufacturer's instructions included with
the components.
1) Set the unit in its desired location. Check
to determine if wall studs or roof rafters
are in the way when the flueing system is
attached. If this is the case, you may want
to adjust the location of the unit. Rough in
the gas preferably on the right side of the
unit and the electrical (junction block is on
the left side) on the left.
2) Co Axial Flue pipe and fittings are designed
with special twist-lock connections to
connect the flueing system to the appliance
flue outlet. A twist-lock appliance adaptor
is an available option that must be used in
conjunction with the Simpson Dura-Vent Co
Axial Flue GS system.
3) Put a bead of silicone inside the outer
section of the adapter and a bead of Stove
Mate on the inner collar. Slip the adapter
over the existing inner and outer flue collar
and fasten to the outer collar only with the
3 supplied screws (drilling pilot holes will
make this easier). Level the fireplace and
fasten it to the framing using nails or screws
through the nailing strips.
4) Assemble the desired combination of pipe
and elbows to the appliance adaptor and
twist-lock for a solid connection.
Note:
a) Twist-lock procedure: Four indentations,
located on the female ends of pipes and
fittings, are designed to slide straight
onto the male ends of adjacent pipes
and fittings, by orienting the four pipe
indentations so they match and slide
in to the four entry slots on the male
ends, Diagram 1. Push the pipe sections
completely together, then twist-lock
one section clockwise approximately
one-quarter turn, until the two sections
are fully locked. The female locking lugs
will not be visible from the outside, on
the Black Pipe or fittings. They may be
located by examining the inside of the
female ends.
Diagram 1
b) Horizontal runs of flue must be supported
every three feet. Wall straps are available
for this purpose.
5) Mark the wall for a 10" x 10" square hole. The
center of the square hole should line up with
the centerline of the horizontal pipe. Cut and
frame the 10 inch square hole in the exterior
wall where the flue will be terminated. If the
wall being penetrated is constructed of non-
combustible material, i.e. masonry block or
concrete, a 7"(178mm) dia. (7-1/2"(191mm)
dia. for flex) hole is acceptable.
Diagram 2
Note:
a) The horizontal run of flue must be level,
or have a 1/4 inch rise for every 1 foot
of run towards the termination. Never
allow the flue to run downward. This
could cause high temperatures and may
present the possibility of a fire.
b) The location of the horizontal flue
termination on an exterior wall must meet
all local and national building codes,
and must not be blocked or obstructed.
For External Flue Terminal Locations,
see diagram in section "Exterior Flue
Termination Locations."
6) The arrow on the flue cap should
be pointing up. Insure that the 1-1/2"
clearances to combustible materials are
maintained. Install the termination cap,
diagram 5.
The four wood screws provided should
be replaced with appropriate fasteners for
stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of
sidings.
Note: If installing termination on a siding
covered wall, a vinyl siding standoff
or furring strips must be used to
ensure that the termination is not
recessed into the siding.
7) Before connecting the horizontal run of
flue pipe to the flue termination, slide the
Wall Thimble (Part # 620-926) over the flue
pipe.
Note: Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to inner pipe
and high temperature silicone sealant
to outer pipe on every
twist-lock joint.
Note: With
Dura-Vent,
the minimum
height is
achieved by
installing a
90oelbow
directly to the
flue adaptor.

Offset Chart
Galvanizedpipe isdesirable above the roofline
due to itshigher corrosion resistance.Continue
to add pipe sections through the flashing until
the height of the flue cap meets the minimum
height requirements specified in Diagram 5 or
local codes. Note that for steep roof pitches,
the vertical height must be increased. A poor
draft, or down drafting can result from high
wind conditions near big trees or adjoining
roof lines, in these cases, increasing the flue
height may solve the problem.
7) Ensure flue is vertical and secure the base
of the flashing to the roof with roofing rails,
slide storm collar over the pipe section and
seal with a mastic.
8) Install the vertical termination cap by twist-
locking it.
Note: Any closets or storage spaces, which
the flue passes through must be
enclosed.

VERTICAL
TERMINATIONS
1) Maintain the 1-1/4"
clearances (air spaces)
to combustibles when
passing through ceilings,
walls, roofs, enclosures,
attic rafter, or other nearby
combustible surfaces.
Do not pack air spaces
with insulation. Check
section "Simpson Dura-
vent Flueing" for the
maximum vertical rise of
the flueing system and the
maximum horizontal offset
limitations.
2) Set the gas appliance in its desired location.
Drop a plumb bob down from the ceiling to the
position of the appliance flue exit, and mark
the location where the flue will penetrate
the ceiling. Drill
a small hole at
his point. Next,
drop a plumb
bob from the
roof to the hole
previously drilled
in the ceiling,
and mark the
spot where
the flue will
penetrate the
roof. Determine
if ceiling joists,
roof rafters or
other framing
3) A Firestop spacer must be installed in the
floor or ceiling of every level. To install the
Firestop spacer in a flat ceiling or wall,
cut a 10 inch square hole. Frame the hole
as shown in Diagram 3 and install the
firestop.
4) Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and
elbows. Ensure that all pipes and elbow
connections are in the fully twist-locked
position and sealed.
5) Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small
drilled hole placed in the roof in Step 2. The
hole should be of sufficient size to meet
the minimum requirements for clearance
to combustibles of 1-1/2". Slip the flashing
under the shingles (shingles should overlap
half the flashing) as per Diagram 4.

Diagram 4: The upper half of the flashing is
installed under the roofing material and not
nailed down until the chimney is installed.
This allows for small adjustments.
6) Continue to assemble pipe lengths.
Note: If an offset is necessary in the attic
to avoid obstructions, it is important
to support the flue pipe every 3 feet,
to avoid excessive stress on the
elbows, and possible separation.
Wall straps are available for this
purpose (Diagram 2).

GAS PIPE PRESSURE
TESTING
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.
The manifold pressure is controlled by a
regulator built into the gas control, and should
be checked at the pressure test point.
Note: To properly check gas pressure, both
inlet and manifold pressures should
be checked using the valve pressure
ports on the valve.
1) Make sure the valve is in the "OFF"
position.
2) Loosen the "IN" and/or "OUT" pressure
tap(s), turning counterclockwise with a
1/8" wide flat screwdriver.
3) Attach manometer to "IN" and/or "OUT"
pressure tap(s) using a 5/16" ID hose.

PILOT ADJUSTMENT
Periodically check the pilot flames. Correct
flame pattern has three strong blue flames:
1 flowing around the thermopile, 1 around
the thermocouple and 1 flowing across the
burner (it does not have to be touching the
burner).
Note: If you have an incorrect flame pattern,
contact your Regency®dealer for
further instructions.
Incorrect flame pattern will have small,
probably yellow flames, not coming into
proper contact with the rear burner or
thermopile or thermocouple.
AERATION
ADJUSTMENT
The air shutter can be adjusted by moving the
adjusting wire up or down. The wire is accessed
through the bottom louvre opening. Open the air
shutter for a blue flame or close for a yellower
flame. The burner aeration is factory set but
may need adjusting due to either the local gas
supply or altitude. This adjustment is performed
by the gas fitter.
Minimum Air Shutter Opening:
8 mm NG
Full Open LPG
CAUTION: Carbon will be produced if air shutter
is closed too much.
Note: Any damage due to carboning
resulting from improperly setting
the aeration controls is NOT covered
under warranty.
Closed - Tall yellow
Open - Short Blue
GAS LINE
INSTALLATION
The gas line can be brought through either the
right or the left side of the appliance. The gas
valve is situated on the right hand side of the
unit and the gas inlet is on the right hand side
of the valve.
Note: If the gas line is being installed from
the left side, be sure to leave room to
accommodate servicing of the fan.
The gas line connection may be made of
rigid pipe, copper pipe or an approved flex
connector. (If you are using rigid pipe, ensure
that the valve can be removed for servicing.)
Since some municipalities have additional local
codes it is always best to consult with your local
authorities and the AS5601-2004 or NZS 5261
installation code.
When using copper or flex connectors use only
approved fittings. Always provide a union so
that gas lines can be easily disconnected for
servicing. Flare nuts for copper lines and flex
connectors are usually considered to meet this
requirement.
Important: Always check for gas leaks with a
soap and water solution or gas leak detector.
Do not use open flame for leak testing.
