Heaters ANSI Z21.88 · CSA 2.33 and Gas-fired Appliances for Use at High
Altitudes CSA 2.17.
This appliance may only be installed in an aftermarket permanently located,
manufactured home (U.S.A only) or mobile home, where not prohibited by local
codes.
This Direct Vent System Appliance must be installed in accordance with the
manufacturer’s installation instructions and the Manufactured Home
Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280, or the current
Standard of Fire Safety Criteria for Manufactured Home Installations, Sites,
and Communities ANSI/NFPA 501A, and with CAN/CSA Z240-MH Mobile Home Standard
in Canada.
This appliance installation must comply with the manufacturer’s installation
instructions and local codes, if any. In the absence of local codes follow the
current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 and the current National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 in the U.S.A., and the current CSA B149.1 Gas
Installation Code and the current Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 in
Canada.
This appliance comes equipped with a dedicated #8 Ground Lug for attachment of
the ground wire to the steel chassis as applicable to local codes.
The appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance
with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicated on the rating
plate. This appliance is not convertible for use with other gases unless a
certified kit is used. Ensure that structural members are not cut or weakened
during installation.
This appliance may be installed as an OEM installation in a manufactured home

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.

- 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.

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.

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
- 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. - 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. - 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.
- 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″
- 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.
49-7/8″
Unit shown with inner door frame only Using the clean edge of the unit shown

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.

used for installations with a maximum continuous vent length of up to 10 feet.
If longer runs are required, rigid pipe must be used.
· Maintain clearances to combustibles as listed in “Clearances” section ·
Horizontal vent must be supported every 3 feet. · Firestops are required at
each floor level and whenever passing through a wall. · A vent guard should be
used whenever the termination is lower than the specified minimum or as per
local codes.

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

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

Below Grade Snorkel Installation If the snorkel termination must be installed
below grade, i.e. basement application, proper drainage must be provided to
prevent water from entering the snorkel termination. See diagram 56. Do not
attempt to enclose the snorkel within the wall or any other type of enclosure.

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.

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.
