On Demand Pilot Light (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.

4. The unit will turn on.

• Not offered on all models.
  Fan Operation: The standard fan can be operated by using the remote control supplied with this unit. See remote control instructions.
  Note: In thermostat mode: When the appliance is turned on, the fan will not come on for the first 5 minutes (if fan is turned on). When the appliance is turned off the fan will not turn off for 12 minutes (if in on position)

Manual mode: Fan will turn on and off immediately using the remote control transmitter if the fan function is in the “on” position.

Continuous Pilot/Intermittent Pilot (CPI/IPI) selection

See remote control instructions for details.

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.

CPI/IPI Switch

Figure 20

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.

Non-Combustible Requirements

• Installation of the ON/OFF Wall Switch/Battery Holder must be completed before installing non-combustible facing. All three pieces (top, 2 sides) are supplied to meet the non combustible requirements.

Calcium silicate board is a high – grade material
with cement, quartz, natural and selected minerals as the main raw materials. It is widely used for partitions and ceilings in buildings.
It is fire proof and earthquake proof.

If finishing the wall above the unit with materials such as tile, brick, marble, etc. non-combustible
board available from the building supply store
can be used.

Note: Calcium Silicate is 1/2′ thick

NOTE: A minimum thickness
of 1/2″ non combustible facing is required.

Drywall or similar materials

3-1/4″ (83mm)

Caution: The non-combustible board can be damaged if dropped or struck.
Handle with care.
1. Using drywall screws – secure non combustible material around unit, framing and top nailing strip every 6 inches.
Important Note: To avoid cracking the board – pre-drill holes prior to securing to unit/ framing.
2. Wipe any debris/dust from the non combustible material and drywall.
3. Prior to securing it is mandatory to prime the facing and edges using a quality primer. This will ensure proper adhesion of both the tape and mud. The supplied board is very porous. Failure to follow this procedure will result in cracked seams.
4. Tape the seams using a mesh type tape.
5. Mud seams as normal. We recommend using a product called Durabond high strength compound – for the first coat. This product can be found most hardware stores. Mud must be cured as per manufacturer’s recommendations.
6. Prime wall for a second time for proper adhesion of paint
7. Paint walls using a high quality paint which will withstand the high temperatures being emitted from this appliance.

Framing & Finishing

1. Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing material.
   IMPORTANT: The framed opening must be of noncombustible 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 and/or the venting. Clearances must be maintained as per this manual.)
   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. Non-combustible material (ie. tile, slate, etc) may be brought up to and overlap the unit (top and bottom) ensuring that the maximum thickness does not go beyond the 1-1/2″ as shown in the diagram below. The faceplate will not be able to be mounted if finished material is beyond 1-1/2″.

18-1/16″

5. If material such as brick, stone, etc extends past the faceplate depth 1-1/2″, when finishing around the faceplate, the minimum opening dimensions noted below must be adhered to ensuring for the removal of the faceplate and for the safe operation of this appliance.
   NOTE: Spacing of 1″around the completed surround must be adhered to.

Important: Determine the nailing strip position by determining the facing material being used.
Examples:
1/2″ non-combustible wall board for clean finish =1″ adjustment.
1/2″ non-combustible wall board + 1/2″ tile = 1″ of finished material = 1/2″ adjustment.
Note: Depending on the material used for finishing, the nailing strips must be set accordingly so that the finished material is always at the 1-1/2″ edge of the flange.
Note : If material such as brick, stone, etc extends past the depth of 1-1/2″ when finishing around the faceplate ( Inner/Outer faceplate/Verona glass surround), the minimum opening dimensions around the faceplate must be adhered to ensuring for the removal of the faceplate and for the safe operation of this appliance. See framing and finishing in this manual for details. If only using the inner door trim to create a clean edge finish on all 4 sides, non combustible material may extend beyond the 1 1/2″ face to give you a recessed look. If the material below the appliance which only requires combustible material extends beyond the 1 1/2″ lip, ( ie: a hearth in front of the appliance) non combustible material must be used. Combustible material cannot extend beyond the bottom lip of the fireplace. If using the finishing trim for clean face design, the maximum allowable depth is 1 1/2″ .The finishing trim will not fit if it exceeds 1 1/2″.

Unit

IMPORTANT Regency Fireplace Products are designed, produced, tested and certified to the highest industry standards. The finishing of the walls surrounding your Regency Horizon Fireplace is as critical as the installation itself. The temperatures around linear gas fireplaces are typically higher than would be acceptable for combustible materials. Your Regency Horizon Fireplace is no exception to this rule. Therefore, the units are specified with non-combustible required materials to specific dimensions above and around the units. This is due to these areas reaching higher temperature levels than required/acceptable for a combustible material. To obtain the best, most durable finish around your fireplace, this calls for a high level of care and attention to the preparation and finish around this appliance, using only the highest quality materials, able to withstand the temperatures produced. By following the installation instructions in the manual exactly, you will increase your chances of a damage free finish. While every precaution is taken in providing the recommendations on preparation and finish, given the variations in paint quality, with temperature limits and workmanship in application, Regency is unable to guarantee the life of the joint compounds, paint or any other finish materials or workmanship applied to or used in any application surrounding the fireplace. This includes framing as well as finishing. Over time natural convection from any fireplace can cause discoloration in the area directly above the appliance. Lower quality paints, under-prepared finishes, poor applications, and any framing discrepancies or in the installation can cause this discoloration process to be expedited. Discoloration is not the responsibility of Regency Fireplace Products. This is out of the control of Regency Fireplace Products Ltd., therefore not covered under any part of the warranty policy. While discoloration is not the responsibility of Regency Fireplace Products, we believe careful attention to the recommendations provided here will result in an aesthetically pleasing result free of issues outlined above.

Rigid Pipe Venting Systems – Basic Horizontal & Vertical Terminations

Rigid Pipe Vent Systems offer a complete line of component parts for installation of both horizontal and vertical installations. Many items are offered in decorative black, as well as galvanized finish.

The minimum components required for a basic Horizontal Termination are:
1 AstroCap XL Termination Cap 1 90o Elbow 1 Rigid Pipe Adaptor 1 Wall Thimble 1 Length of rigid pipe to suit wall thickness
The minimum components required for a basic Vertical Termination are:
1 Vertical Termination Cap 1 Rigid Pipe Adaptor 1 Lengths of pipe to adequately
penetrate roof 1 Ceiling Firestop 1 Flashing 1 Storm Collar
Wall thickness is measured from the back standoffs to the inside mounting surface of termination cap. For siding other than vinyl, furring strips may be used, instead of a vinyl siding standoff, to create a level surface to mount the vent terminal. The Terminal must not be recessed into siding. Measure the wall thickness including furring strips.
If a Vinyl Siding Standoff is required (it must be used with vinyl siding), measure to outside surface of wall without siding and add 2 inches.

Venting Introduction
The U1500E-11 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.
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.
Venting Arrangement for Horizontal Terminations
The diagram shows all allowable combinations of vertical runs with horizontal terminations, using one 90o (two 45o elbows equal one 90o elbow). Note: Must use optional rigid pipe adapter (Part# 770-994) when using Rigid Pipe Venting Systems.

Horizontal Termination – 5″ x 8″ Venting (Rigid Vent Systems) Minimum Vent Clearances
to Combustibles

• Clearances noted below must be maintained;
  except when passing through a wall, ceiling or at the termination where the use of a firestop or wall thimble reduces clearance to 1-1/2″ (38mm).

Below are the recommended framing dimensions (inside measurements) for the 5″ x 8″ rigid vent terminations – for use with a firestop or wall thimble.

Install the vent 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 venting 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. Direct Vent pipe and fittings are designed with special twist-lock connections to connect the venting system to the appliance flue outlet. A twist-lock appliance adaptor is required.
3. In conjunction with the Approved Vent system, install the adaptor after the unit is set in its desired location. Slip the adapter over the existing inner and outer flue collar. Fasten to the outer collar only with the 3 supplied screws (drilling pilot holes will make this easier).
4. Level the fireplace and fasten it to the framing using nails or screws through the top and side nailing strips.

Diagram 1
5. Assemble the desired combination of pipe and elbows to the appliance adaptor and twist-lock for a solid connection.
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.

Horizontal runs of vent must be supported every 3 feet (0.9meter). Wall straps are avail-
able for this purpose.

6. Mark the wall for a square hole.-see chart to left
for size. The center of the square hole should line up with the center-line of the horizontal pipe. Cut and frame the square hole in the
exterior wall where the vent will be terminated. See diagram 54 for center line requirements.

If the wall being penetrated is constructed of non-combustible material, i.e. masonry block
or concrete, an 8″ (203mm) diameter hole is acceptable.
Notes: a) The horizontal run of vent must be level, or 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. See

“Exterior Vent Termination Locations”

section for more details. center

IMPORTANT
Must use Rear Venting Deflector packaged with unit in rear vent horizontal termination applications.
c) Snorkel Terminations: For installations requiring a vertical rise on the exterior of the building, 14-inch and 36-inch tall Snorkel Terminations 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. Diagram 3

7. Ensure that the pipe clearances to combustible materials are maintained (Diagram 55). Install the termination cap.
Note: If installing termination on a vinyl siding covered wall, a vinyl siding standoff or furring strips must be used to ensure that the termination is not recessed into the siding.
The four wood screws provided should be replaced with appropriate fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of sidings.
8. Before connecting the horizontal run of vent pipe to the vent termination, slide the Wall Thimble over the vent pipe. The wall thimble is required for all horizontal terminations.
9. Slide the appliance and vent assembly towards the wall carefully inserting the vent pipe into the vent cap assembly. It is important that the vent pipe extends into the vent cap sufficient distance so as to result in a minimum pipe overlap of 1-1/4 inches (32mm). Secure the connection between the vent pipe and the vent cap.
10. Install wall thimble in the center of the framed hole and attach with wood screws.

Vertical Termination – 5″ x 8″ Venting (Rigid Vent Systems)
MUST USE RIGID PIPE ADAPTOR #770-994

• Clearances noted below must be maintained; except when passing through a wall, ceiling or at the termination where the use of a firestop or wall thimble reduces clearance to 1-1/2″ (38mm).

1. Maintain the 2″ 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 “Venting” Sections 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

Diagram 1

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.

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 11 inch square hole. Frame the hole as shown in Diagram
2 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.

Note: All vertical terminations are vented using 5″ x 8″ venting and rigid pipe adaptor #770-994.

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 2″. Slip the flashing under the shingles (shingles should overlap half the flashing) as per Diagram 4.
Diagram 3 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.
6. Continue to assemble pipe lengths.
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.
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.
Galvanized pipe is desirable above the roofline due to its higher corrosion resistance. Continue to add pipe sections through the flashing until the height of the vent 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 vent height may solve the problem.

Gas Line Installation

The gas line is brought through the right 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.

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 CSA B149.1 installation code.
For USA installations follow local codes and/or the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
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.

1. Maintain the 1-1/2″ (38 mm) clearance (air space) to combustibles
when passing through ceilings, walls, floors, enclosures, attic rafters or other nearby combustibles. Do not pack air spaces
with insulation. Check venting sections for the maximum vertical
rise of the venting system and the maximum horizontal offset limitations.

Ensure that you maintain clearances around enclosures, walls,
below or above floors, floor joists, etc. Each appliance has different clearance requirements (top,sides,bottom). See specific appliance manual for details.

2. Set the appliance in its desired position. Drop a plumb bob down
from the ceiling/floor joist 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 at the ceiling level and mark the spot where the vent will penetrate the roof.

3. Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small hole placed in the roof in the previous steps. The hole should be a minimum of 11″ (279 mm). The hole may be round and or square.

4. Slip the flashing under the shingles and line up flashing so it is
centered to the hole (shingles should overlap half of the flashing) as per Diagram 1.

Diagram 1 – 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.
Diagram 1
5. A ceiling firestop/firestop spacer must be installed when passing through each floor or ceiling level. To install the ceiling firestop/ firestop spacer in a flat ceiling or floor joist cut a 11″ (279 mm) square hole. Frame the hole as show in Diagram 2 and install the
ceiling firestop. Slide the top attic insulation spacer onto the top of the attic insulation shield/firestop – See Diagram 2a. Secure with 4 screws/nails. If more than one is required, these can be purchased separately.
The ceiling firestop/firestop spacer may be cut down to size if this shield is too high for the application.

Diagram 2a

Ceiling firestop

6. Determine the overall height of the chimney from the top of the
appliance to the underside of the vent. If required cut the flexible inner and outer pipe to the desired length up to a maximum of
20 ft. (6.1 m).

7. Put a bead of Mill-Pac around the 5″ (127 mm) collar on the
appliance and slide the inner flex pipe over the inner collar of the appliance and secure with a minimum of 3 screws.

NOTE

8. Install 5″ (127 mm) spacers around 5″ (127 mm) flex.
9. Repeat Step 7 to install the outer pipe to the outer collar of the appliance.
If an offset is necessary in the attic or floor joists it is important to support the vent pipe every 3 feet (914 mm )to avoid excessive stress and sagging of the vent pipe. Wall straps are provided (3 in total) for this purpose. All round/plumbers strapping may also be used if further supports are required.
10. Attach the rigid pipe section to the adaptor by using Mill-Pac on the inner/ outer pipe. Use 3 screws to secure outer pipe.
11. Secure inner flex pipe to pipe adaptor using Mill-Pac over the adaptor. Slide the inner pipe over the flex to rigid adaptor and secure with 3 screws.

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.

Note: To properly check gas pressure, both inlet and manifold pressures should be checked using the valve pressure ports on the valve.

NOTE: A shutoff / dante valve should be supplied in or near the unit (or as per local codes) for ease of servicing this appliance.
IMPORTANT: Always check for gas leaks with a soap and water solution or gas leak detector. Do not use open flame for leak testing.

1. Make sure the unit 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.

4. Turn the unit on with the remote or wall switch

5. The pressure check should be carried out with the unit burning and the setting should be within the limits specified on the safety label.

6. When finished reading manometer, turn off the unit, disconnect the hose and tighten the
screw (clockwise) with a 1/8″ flat screwdriver. Note: Screw should be snug, but do
not over tighten.

Wiring Diagram
WARNING: Electrical Grounding
Instructions This appliance is equipped with a three pronged (grounding) plug for your protection against shock
hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded
three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.

This heater requires a 120V A.C. supply for operation of the blower. While the burner does
not require a 120V A.C. power supply, it is highly recommended as a primary power source.
Batteries (4 AA) should be used as a secondary power source only.

CAUTION: Ensure that the wires do not touch a hot surface and are away from sharp edges.
Note: 4 AA Batteries must be installed into the wall mounted battery holder, however for this unit to operate when power is lost. See battery back up instructions in this manual. The fan will not operate during a power outage.

DISCONNECT POWER SUPPLY TO UNIT PRIOR TO WORKING ON ELECTRICAL
COMPONENTS.
