On Demand Pilot (Seven Day Safety Timer)
Important information if using the appliance in CPI (continuous pilot mode) only
This appliance is a ProFlame 2 system fitted with the “On Demand” Pilot, a safety feature which will shut down the gas valve completely by extinguishing the pilot light in the event of a continuous full seven days of inactivity. This only applies if the CPI (continuous pilot) switch is in the “on” position in your remote control transmitter.
Each time the main burner shuts down, manually or through the call from the thermostat, the seven day timer starts again.
The seven day inactivity timer is controlled within the circuit board. Therefore, if in CPI mode and when the pilot light is extinguished after seven straight days of inactivity, the CPI setting on the remote control transmitter will remain in the “CPI” (continuous pilot) position. Therefore, all that is required to relight the pilot would be to press the on/off button on the remote control transmitter from “on” to “off” and back to “on”. Once the pilot has re-established operation will resume as normal. There is no requirement to do anything with the IPI/CPI mode on the remote control transmitter. If the unit never goes as long as seven full days without a call for heat, the pilot will remain lit until it is manually shut-off.
If the unit is being operated in IPI (intermittent pilot) mode, neither the above instructions nor the seven day timer will apply.
See the instructions in this manual and on the Lighting Instructions plate on the appliance to light or re-light the pilot.

WARNING CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each appliance connected to the venting system being placed into operation could result in carbon monoxide poisoning or death. The following steps shall be followed for each appliance connected to the venting system being placed into operation, while all other appliances connected to the venting system are not in operation: 1. Seal any unused openings in the venting system. 2. Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch, as required in the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1 and these instructions. Determine that there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition. 3. As far as practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which the appliance(s) connected to the venting system are located and other spaces of the building. 4. Close fireplace dampers. 5. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to the venting system. Turn on
any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they are operating at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. 6. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being inspected into operation. Adjust the thermostat so appliance is operating continuously. 7. Test for spillage from draft hood equipped appliances at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle. 8. If improper venting is observed during any of the above tests, the venting system must be corrected in accordance with National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA and/or Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1. 9. After it has been determined that each appliance connected to the venting system properly vents when tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace damper and any other gas-fired burning appliance to the previous conditions of use.

CPI/IPI Switch

This appliance comes equipped with a CPI/IPI switch. The functions of both the CPI/IPI switch are as follows: Continuous pilot (CPI) – A pilot that when in operation, is intended to remain continuously ignited until it is manually interrupted. Intermittent pilot (IPI) – A pilot that is automatically ignited when an appliance is called on to operate and which remains continuously ignited during each period of main burner operation. The pilot is automatically extinguished when each main burner operating cycle is completed. The mode of the fireplace is easily changed from an intermittent pilot ignition system (IPI) to a continuous pilot ignition system (CPI) by using remote control as noted above. The benefits of having as CPI are as follows: -Keeps venting primed for trouble free start-up under colder weather conditions or inversions. -Keeps the unit glass warm, which decreases the amount of condensation on start-up -Provides owners with flexibility to choose a traditional continuous pilot. The primary benefit of having the IPI function is a significant savings on fuel as the pilot will only run when there is a call for heat.
Thermostat Icon: If the thermostat icon is not present on the remote transmitter, follow instructions noted below: 1.Remove one battery from the remote. 2. Press and hold down the Thermostat button on the remote. 3. Reinstall the battery(removed in Step 1) while still holding down thermostat button. 4. If you see “Set” the thermostat option is now enabled. If you see “Clr” the
thermostat option is now disabled. 5. Repeat the procedure if the “Set” or “Clr” to remove or add the option back to
the remote did not appear.
Enable all other functions if not present on the remote transmitter, follow instructions noted below: 1. Remove one battery from remote. 2. Press and hold both the ON/OFF and MODE button at the same time . 3. Reinstall battery removed in Step 1 while holding both buttons–keep holding
buttons, then release the MODE button only. 4.The screen will show either “Clr” or “Set” as the first option available is to dis-
able or enable a mode. 5. “Clr” will remove a mode–use the up or down arrow while holding down ON/
OFF and MODE (mode icon will disappear once removed). 6. Use the “MODE” button to move to the next function. 7. “Set” will add a mode –use the up or down arrow while holding down ON/
OFF and MODE (mode icon will appear when added). 8. Use the “MODE” button to move to the next function.
Note: You should never program out the fan (if installed) or CPI/IPI mode on the remote.

Low Battery Power Detection Transmitter
The life span of the remote control batteries depends on various factors: quality of the batteries used, the number of ignitions of the appliance, the number of changes to the room thermostat set point, etc. When the Transmitter batteries are low, a Battery Icon will appear on the LCD display of the Transmitter (Fig. 22) before all battery power is lost. When the batteries are replaced this Icon will disappear.
Figure 22

First Fire
The first fire in your stove is part of the paint curing process. To ensure that the paint is properly cured, it is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at least four (4) hours the first time you use it with the fan on. When first operated, the unit will release an odour caused by the curing of the paint, the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing. Smoke detectors in the house may go off at this time. Open a few windows to ventilate the room for a couple of hours.
The glass panel may require cleaning after the unit has cooled down.

NOTE: This appliance will operate with 4 AA back-up batteries installed (see Back-up Battery section for details) during power outages. Only the fan and light will not operate until power is restored. If the remote is misplaced, the unit can be shut off by flipping the main ON/OFF switch, located behind the front cover plate, to the OFF position.
IMPORTANT: The remote control system supplied with this appliance has several options for starting/operating the appliance, please read the remote control operating instructions (packed with remote control) to understand how to operate this remote system.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE Operation Using an Optional

GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.

Wall Thermostat

Note: When the glass is cold and the appliance is lit, it may cause condensation and fog the glass. This condensation is normal and will disappear in a few minutes as the glass heats up.
During the first few fires, a white film may develop on the glass front as part of the curing process. The glass should be cleaned or the film will bake on and become very difficult to remove. Use a non-abrasive cleaner and NEVER clean the glass while it is hot.
DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCE WITHOUT THE GLASS FRONT IN PLACE.
Operating Instructions
1. Read and understand these instructions before operating this appliance.
2. Check to see that all wiring is correct and enclosed to prevent possible shock.
3. Check to ensure there are no gas leaks.
4. Make sure the glass in the door frame is properly positioned. Never operate the appliance with the glass removed.
5. Verify that the venting and cap are unobstructed.
6. Verify log placement. If the pilot cannot be seen when lighting the unit, the logs have been incorrectly positioned.
7. The unit should never be turned off, and on again without a minimum of a 60 second wait.
8. Remote control requires coding. See remote coding instructions for details.

All Regency stoves ship with a full function remote control as standard equipment. This allows for basic on/off function as well as the ability to operate as a thermostat. With the addition of an optional wall cradle (820-477-AWT available from an authorized dealer) the remote can reside on a wall and carry out all the functions of a typical millivolt wall thermostat as well as being able to control the fan speed, accent light and the flame height. This is the recommended procedure for operating the unit with a thermostatic set point. If a millivolt wall thermostat is required for bedroom installation or as preferred method of controlling the stove there are two options.
Option 1
Wall thermostat and remote. Set the wall thermostat to the desired set point, then place the remote transmitter in either SMART or thermostatic mode with a set point 5 degrees above the set point on the wall thermostat. The burner will fire until the set point on the wall thermostat is satisfied. The remote will remain connected and allow full control of all accessories.
Option 2
Wall thermostat only. Divorce the remote hand held from the IFC by pressing the Red SW1 button on the IFC twice. Then operate the unit by setting the wall thermostat set point to the desired temperature. ** Please be aware that in this configuration the accent light, flame height adjustment and fan will not be available.
Battery Backup
To operate the stove during a power outage or when power is not available. – Attach the backup battery pack to the 9v connector in the valve tray labeled “Battery” – Press the Red SW1 button on the IFC twice (each time you should get a three beeps in response) to put the unit into manual mode. Once this is complete the pilot will spark and ignite. – The stove can now be operated with the ON/OFF switch located on the front of the valve tray cover. The burner will remain lit until the switch is moved to the OFF position.

General Vent Maintenance
Conduct an inspection of the venting system semiannually. Recommended areas to inspect as follows:
1. Check the Venting System for corrosion in areas that are exposed to the elements. These will appear as rust spots or streaks, and in extreme cases, holes. These components should be replaced immediately.
2. Remove the Cap, and shine a flashlight down the Vent. Remove any bird nests, or other foreign material.
3. Check for evidences of excessive condensation, such as water droplets forming in the inner liner, and subsequently dripping out the joints, Continuous condensation can cause corrosion of caps, pipe, and fittings. It may be caused by having excessive lateral runs, too many elbows, and exterior portions of the system being exposed to cold weather.
4. Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe sections or fittings have been disturbed, and consequently loosened. Also check mechanical supports such as Wall Straps, or plumbers’ tape for rigidity.
5. Verify proper operation after servicing.
Log Replacement
The unit should never be used with broken logs. Turn off the gas valve and allow the unit to cool before opening door to carefully remove the logs. The pilot light generates enough heat to burn someone. If for any reason a log should need replacement, you must use the proper replacement log. The position of these logs must be as shown in the diagram under Log Installation.

Venting Introduction
The Horizontal Termination Kit and other approved venting systems as per table on next page, in combination with the Direct Vent Freestanding Gas Stoves – RC500E, has been tested and listed as direct vent heater systems by Intertek.
These units use the “balanced flue” technology Co-Axial system. The inner liner vents products of combustion to the outside while the outer pipe 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 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.
IMPORTANT
Read all instructions carefully before starting the installation. Failure to follow these instructions may create a fire or other safety hazard, and will void the warranty. Be sure to check the venting and clearance to combustible requirements. Consult your local building codes before beginning installation.
The location of the termination cap must conform to the requirements in the “Exterior Vent Terminal Locations” section.
Reversible Flue Collar

Installation Precautions
These venting systems are engineered products that have been designed and tested for use with the RC500E. The warranty will be voided and serious fire, health or other safety hazards may result from any of the following actions:
1. Installation of any damaged Direct Vent component.
2. Unauthorized modification of the Direct Vent System.
3. Installation other than as instructed by Simpson Dura-Vent and FPI Fireplace Products International Ltd.
Warning: Always maintain required clearances (air spaces) to nearby combustibles to prevent a fire hazard. Do not fill air spaces with insulation.
Be sure to check the vent termination clearance requirements from decks, windows, soffits, gas regulators, air supply inlets and public walkways as specified in the “Exterior Vent Terminal Locations” section and in your local building codes.
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 its own separate vent system. Common vent systems are prohibited.

Safety Precautions for the Installer
1. Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection. 2. Exercise extreme caution when using ladders
or on roof tops. 3. Be aware of electrical wiring locations in walls
and ceilings.
Vent Restrictor Position
To set the Vent restriction as indicated in the diagrams in “Venting Arrangements” section, simply loosen the screws and push the vent restrictor plate to the correct position. Tighten the screws.

DIrect Vent Stove Horizontal Vent Kit (#946-116 & #946-216) Installation

Review the following sequence of instructions which are typical of most installations. The sequence may vary depending on wall thickness. See the “Exterior Vent Terminal Locations” section for vent location and clearance dimensions, and “Vent Restrictor Position” section to set the Vent Restrictor to the correct position.
1. Set the unit in its desired location. Check to determine if wall studs will be in the way of the venting system, adjust location until all clearances are met and there are no obstructions.
Flue pipe Clearances to Combustibles
Horizontal top = 3″ Horizontal sides = 2″ Horizontal bottom = 2″ Vertical = 2″ Passing through wall/floor/ceiling when fire-stop is used = 1-1/2″

4ft (1.2m) 2ft (0.6m) 72″ (1829mm) 96″ (2438mm)

Note: Center line dimensions shown are specifically when using these 2 vent kits only.

Centerline
CL
IMPORTANT: Do not locate termination hood where excessive snow or ice buildup may occur. Be sure to check vent termination area after snow falls, and clear to prevent accidental blockage of venting system. When using snow blowers, make sure snow is not directed towards vent termination area.

2. Assemble a trial fit to determine the vertical centerline for the vent termination.
a) Cut a 9-1/2″ x 9-1/2″ (241mm x 241 mm) square hole on both the interior and exterior.
b) Install wall thimbles on both interior and exterior wall with 4 wood screws (#8 x 1″) per thimble.
c) Attach the 2 piece adjustable pipe section to the vent terminal and slide into position from the exterior. The larger diameter end of the adjustable pipe goes to the vent terminal.
d) Install the 90o elbow onto the adjust able pipe to determine the vertical centerline.
Note: if the centerline cannot be met, the adjustable sections will have to be cut.
e) Cut the 4 ft. section of rigid pipe to length. Attach the 45o elbow to the rigid pipe, and ensure that the pipe length when cut (with the 45o elbow) will seat onto both the starter collar and the 90o elbow. Crimped section of rigid pipe seats into the 90o elbow. Only cut the uncrimped side of pipe. Dismantle all pipe sections including vent terminal.

installation

3. Attach the 4″ dia. flex liner to the vent terminal ensuring that the flex overlaps the collar of the vent terminal by a minimum of 1-3/8″(35mm). Use Mill-Pac to seal and secure with 3 of the #8 x 1/2″ screws (stainless steel).
4. Attach the adjustable pipe section to the vent terminal using Mill-Pac attach with 3 of the #8 x 1/2″ screws (stainless steel).
NOTE: For best results and optimum performance with each approved venting system, it is highly recommended to apply “Mill-Pac” sealant (supplied) to every inner pipe connection. Failure to do so may result in drafting
or performance issues not covered under warranty.
Note: The pipe seam should be facing down.
Note: To make the installation more aesthetically pleasing, we recommend framing out a square that the cap can be mounted on.
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. For vinyl siding standoff installation refer to the Dura-Vent Termination instructions.

5. Slide the partially connected pipe and vent terminal assembly through the

Outside Wall

wall thimbles (from the

exterior into the interior) Furring

and secure the cap to the Strips

exterior wall with 4 of the

supplied screws (#8 x

1-1/2″ drill point, stainless

steel). Note: pilot holes will need to be drilled

through the wall thimble on all 4 corners.

Note: The four screws provided for the vent cap should be replaced with appropriate fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of sidings.

6. A bead of non-hardening mastic should be run around both the termination and vinyl siding standoff to prevent water from entering and to make a tight seal between the cap and the standoff.

7. Stretch the 4″ diameter flex liner out fully and get a trial fit of the liner onto the 4″ diameter starter collar.

8. Cut the 4″ diameter flex liner to the desired size.

Hint: leave an extra 12″ to 16″ of length, this will make the final assembly easier to work with.

9. Secure the 4″ dia. flex liner to the 4″ adapter with Mill-Pac and 3 of the

8 x 1/2″ screws (stainless steel).

10. Slide the decorative Thimble Cover over the pipe sections and secure with 4 screws (#8 x 1-1/2″ drill point, black) to the wall.

11. Slide the 90o elbow (crimp end up), the 45o elbow and the 4 ft. pipe section (crimp end up) over the 4″ dia. flex liner.

12. Install the spring spacers onto the pipe sections.
13. Secure the 4″ dia. flex liner with adapter onto the stove collar. Put a bead of Mill-Pac around the appliance adapter and secure with 3 screws (#8 x 1/2, stainless steel).
14. Attach the 45o elbow onto the starter collar by sealing with Mill-Pac securing with 3 of the #8 x 1/2″ (black) screws.
15. Attach the pipe section to the 45o elbow by sealing with Mill-Pac securing with 3 of the #8 x 1/2″ screws (black). Pipe seams should be facing the wall.
16. Attach the 90o elbow onto the pipe section by sealing with Mill-Pac securing with 3 of the #8 x 1/2″ screws (black).
17. Slide the adjustable pipe section onto the 90o elbow. Slide the trim collar over the adjustable pipe sections to cover the joint of the telescopic section. The flex may have to be compressed back in order for the adjustable pipe to properly mate to the elbow. Seal with Mill-Pac secure with 3 of the #8 x 1/2″ screws (black). Pipe seams facing down.
18. Install the trim collar over the starter collar and secure with a #8 x 1/2″ screw (black).
If the pipe needs to be touched up, use only StoveBrite High Temperature Metallic Black Stove Paint.

Dura-Vent Termination Kit

Planning Your Dura-Vent
Installation
There are two basic types of Dura-Vent Direct Vent System installations: horizontal termination and vertical termination. Confirm the maximum horizontal run and maximum vertical rise from the diagrams in the “Venting Arrangement” section.
When planning your installation, it will be necessary to select the proper length of vent pipe for your particular requirements. For horizontal installations, determine the minimum clearance from the rear of the unit to the wall. It is also important to note the wall thickness. (The wall thimble is suitable for 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 wall construction.) Select the amount of vertical rise desired for “vertical-to-horizontal” type installations.

Warning: Always maintain required clearances (air spaces) to nearby
combustibles to prevent a fire
hazard. Do not fill air spaces with insulation.
The minimum clearance requirements between the outer wall of the vent pipe and nearby combustible surfaces is 2″, except when passing through a wall, ceiling, or at the termination where the use of a firestop or wall thimble reduces the required clearance to 1-1/2″.

Be sure to check the vent termination clearance requirements from decks, windows, soffits, gas regulators, air supply inlets and public walkways as specified in the “Exterior Vent Terminal Locations” section and in your local building codes. To determine the length of vent pipe required for vertical installations, measure the distance from the unit flue outlet to the ceiling, the ceiling thickness, the vertical rise in an attic or second storey, and allow for sufficient vertical height above the roof line. For multi-storey applications, fire stops are required at each floor level. If an offset is needed, additional pipe, elbows and supports will be required. Do not exceed the maximum number of elbows. One 90o for horizontal terminations and two 45o for vertical termination.

Horizontal Terminations
1. Set the unit in its desired location. Check to determine if wall studs are in the way when the venting system is attached. If this is the case, you may want to adjust the location of the unit. Vertical rise with a minimum of 90 degree elbow installed.
center of hole
Centerline
CL

2. Assemble the desired combination of pipe and elbow to the appliance adapter with pipe seams oriented down. Offset the pipe seams as double seams in one place will cause the outer pipe to take an oval shape.
3. With the pipe attached to the stove, slide the stove into its correct location, and mark the wall for a 9-1/2″ (inside dimensions) round hole. The center of the round hole should line up with the centerline of the horizontal pipe, as shown in diagram 1. Cut and frame the 9-1/2 round hole in the exterior wall where the vent will be terminated. If the wall being penetrated is constructed of non-combustible material, i.e. masonry block or concrete, a 7″ diameter hole is acceptable.
a) The horizontal run of vent should have a 1/4 inch rise for every 1 foot of run towards the termination. Never allow the vent to run downward. This could cause high temperatures and may present the possibility of a fire.
b) The location of the horizontal vent termination on an exterior wall must meet all local and national building codes, and must not be blocked or obstructed. Refer to the “Exterior Vent Terminal Locations” section.
c) Snorkel Terminations: For installations requiring a vertical rise on the exterior of the building, 14-inch and 36-inch tall Snorkel Terminations as shown in Diagram 2 are available, as well as the standard Riser Vent. Follow the same installation procedures as used for standard Horizontal Termination. NEVER install the snorkel upside down.

If installing riser vent terminal, follow steps below: 1. Take the Riser Vent terminal and separate
the Backing Plate from the Riser Vent Front by removing 8 screws as shown in Diagram 4.
Diagram 4 2. Install the Backing Plate into the wall
penetration heat shield and attach using 4 screws. Diagram 4. 3. Connect all pipe sections to unit and install into wall: a) Measure pipe length required and cut
to length. Hint: use the cut end of the 6-5/8″ dia. outer pipe at the vent terminal end. b) Push the pipe sections completely together, the minimum pipe overlap is 1-1/4″. Secure all outer pipe joints by using at least two screws. Locate the screws at the bottom of the pipe so that the screw heads are hidden on the final installation. NOTE: For best results and optimum performance with each approved venting system, it is highly recommended to apply “Mill-Pac” sealant (supplied) to every inner pipe connection. Failure to do so may result in drafting or performance issues not covered under warranty.

c) Before connecting the vent pipe to the vent termination, slide the black decorative wall thimble cover over the vent pipe, then slide the Wall Penetration Heat Shield over the vent pipe. Dia. 3.
d) Slide the appliance and vent assembly towards the wall carefully inserting the vent pipe into the riser vent terminal assembly. It is important that the vent pipe extends into the Riser Vent Backing Plate a sufficient distance so as to result in a minimum pipe overlap of 1-1/4 inches. Secure the connection between the vent pipe and the vent cap by attaching the two sheet metal strips extending from the Riser Vent Backing Plate into the outer wall of the vent pipe. Use two aluminum screws provided to connect the strips to the pipe section. Bend any remaining portion of the sheet metal strip back towards the vent cap and cut off any excess, it will be concealed by the decorative wall thimble cover. See Diagram 5.

1. Maintain the 2″ clearances, except when passing through a wall, ceiling, or at the termination where the use of a firestop or wall thimble reduces the required clearance to 1-1/2″. Do not pack air spaces with insulation. Check the “Venting Arrangement” section for the maximum vertical rise of the venting 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 vent will penetrate the ceiling. Drill a small hole at this point. Next, drop a plumb bob from the roof to the hole previously drilled in the ceiling, and mark the spot where the vent will penetrate the roof. Determine if ceiling joists, roof rafters or other framing will obstruct the venting system. You may wish to relocate the appliance or to offset, as shown in diagram 8 to avoid cutting load bearing members.

4. Slide the decorative wall thimble up to the wall surface being careful not to scratch the paint. See Diagram 5.
5. Back outside: Apply sealant to the 4″ inner flue and slide the Riser Vent Front into the Backing Plate and fasten with 8 screws.
IMPORTANT: When connecting the pipe to the Riser Vent, apply Mill-Pac to the inner pipe on the Riser Vent Terminal, around the bead. Ensure that the vent pipe is pushed past the bead for a secure fit.
6. Seal around the outer edge of the riser vent backing plate.

Diagram 8 3. To install the Round Support Box/Wall Thimble
in a flat ceiling, cut a 10 inch square hole in the ceiling centred on the hole drilled in Step 2. Frame the hole as shown in Diagram 9.
Diagram 9
4. Assemble the desired lengths of black pipe and elbows necessary to reach from the appliance adapter up though the Round Support Box. Insure that all pipes and elbow connections are in the fully twist-locked position and sealed.
5. Cut a hole in the roof centred 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 10.

6. Continue to assemble pipe lengths.
Note: If an offset is necessary in the attic to avoid obstructions, it is important to support the vent pipe every 3 feet, to avoid excessive stress on the elbows, and possible separation. Wall straps are available for this purpose. See Diagram 5.

7. Ensure vent 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.
Notes: a) For multi-storey vertical installations, a Ceiling Fire stop is required at the second floor, and any subsequent floor. Diagram 12. The opening should be framed to 10 ” x 10″ inside dimensions, in the same manner as shown in Diagram 9.

b) Any occupied areas above the first floor, including closets and storage spaces, through which the vertical vent passes, must be enclosed.

Diagram 10
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.

Galvanized pipe and elbows may be utilized

in the attic as well as above the roofline. The

2

galvanized finish is desirable above the roofline

due to its higher corrosion resistance.

2

Continue to add pipe sections through the

flashing until the height of the vent cap meets

the minimum height requirements specified

in Diagram 11 or local codes. Note that for

steep roof pitches, the vertical height must be increased. A poor draft, or down drafting can

2

result from high wind conditions near big trees or adjoining roof lines, in these cases, increasing

2

the vent height may solve the problem.

Diagram 12
Offset Chart

NOTE: For best results and optimum performance with each approved venting system, it is highly recommended to apply “Mill-Pac” sealant (supplied) to every inner pipe connection. Failure to do so may result in drafting or performance issues not covered under warranty.

Converting Class A Metal Chimney to Direct Vent System
Approved for US Installations Only. The use of an existing chimney as an air intake is not covered under the ANSI Z21.88-2014, CSA 2.33-2014 test methods and the resulting ITS/WHI product certification. The code Authority Having Jurisdiction must be consulted prior to proceeding with this installation method.
Prior to installation and connection of the vent system to a Class A chimney, the chimney must be inspected and thoroughly cleaned by a qualified service person, such as a certified chimney sweep or home inspection service.
The direct vent system must not be connected to a damaged Class A chimney system.
For Class A chimneys, cleanout doors and caps or plugs for cleanout tee fittings and ash dumps shall be secured in place and sealed before installing a Direct Vent system within the chimney.

4. Pass the flex pipe down through the center of the chimney system, and center the adaptor on the top of the chimney pipe. Drill four 1/8″ diameter holes through the adaptor and into the chimney top. Insure that you are in fact, drilling into the metal on the chimney. Twistlock the Termination Cap onto the Adaptor. (Diagram 3 and 4).

If the appliance shuts off during operation, contact a qualified service person to determine if a negative pressure and/or leaky chimney condition exists. Do not operate the appliance until the problem is corrected.
IMPORTANT: If converting this appliance to a Class A Metal Chimney, the IPI/CPI switch on the handheld remote control/transmitter must be turned to CPI (Continuous Pilot Ignition) at all times. This will avoid nuisance pilot outages during operation of this appliance. See Remote manual for setup of this IPI/CPI switch.
1. Remove the existing chimney cap.
2. Measure the distance from the top end of the chimney to the bottom of the ceiling support box, add 3″ (76mm) to this measurement, and cut a section of the 4″ flex pipe to that length (the flex should already be extended to it’s nominal length).

Diagram 1 3. Connect the end of the flex pipe section to the
underside of the Top Adaptor using 3 sheet metal screws. Diagram 2.

8. Ensure vent 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.
9. Install the vertical termination cap by twist locking.
Notes: a) For multistory vertical installations, a Ceiling Fire stop is required at the second floor, and any subsequent floor. Diagram 12. The opening should be framed to 10 ” x 10″ inside dimensions, in the same manner as shown in diagram 9.
b) Any occupied areas above the first floor, including closets and storage volcanicces, through which the vertical vent passes, must be enclosed.

Note: If you are using a 6″ square support you may find it difficult to screw it in place because it is
fairly small inside.
Simpson Dura-Vent has provided angle brackets with this support which can be screwed to the outside of the support box and nailed to surrounding framing as required. Use a minimum of four #8 x 1/2″ screws per bracket. In some cases these brackets may need to be trimmed (e.g.: to fit under a flashing). Place the Finish Collar around the support and fasten it to the ceiling using the screws provided.
3. Use appropriate roof flashing. Place the flashing under the upper shingles and on top of the lower shingles approximately half of the flashing should be under the shingles.

4. Assemble the desired lengths of Black Pipe and Elbows necessary to reach from the appliance adapter up through the support box and flashing to proper height as per Diagram 12, local codes or in the “Venting Arrangement” section. Ensure that all pipe and elbow connections are in their fully twist lock position.

5. Ensure vent is vertical and secure flashing to the roof with roofing nails. Slide the storm collar over the pipe section and seal with a mastic.

Cathedral Ceilings

Round Support (RDS) & Square Support (SQS)
If your home has a cathedral ceiling (no attic volcanicce between the ceiling and the roof), install the chimney and support as follows.
1. Situate the chimney in a convenient location as near as possible to the appliance outlet. Cut and frame a hole in the roof for the support. The sides of this hole must be vertical with 1- 1/2″ clearance.
2. Place the support in the opening. Lower it to the correct height as determined by the table and diagram below.

Support Extensions – Round (RDSE) or Square (SQSE)
Steep pitched cathedral ceilings may require the use of a support extension. This piece fits down inside the support and can be adjusted to increase the support’s length by up to 22″. The extension is attached to the support using the eight metal screws provided. Be sure there is at least a 2 inch overlap where the extension joins the support.
High Elevation
This unit is approved in Canada for altitude to 4500 ft. (CSA-2.17-2017). For Natural Gas installations above 4500 ft. follow current CSA B149.1.
Gas Connection
The gas connection is 1/2″ MIP x 24″ long flexible connector. The gas line can be rigid pipe or to make installation easier, use a listed flexible connector and/or copper tubing if allowed by local codes.

Using a level, make sure the support is vertical. If the support extends above the roof, cut it flush with the top of the roof. Nail the support to the frame opening using (8) 3″ spiral nails or #8 x 1-1/2″ screws.

Since some municipalities have additional local codes it is always best to consult with your local authorities and the CAN/CGA B149 insta
