The lift handles add approximately 4 inches to the width of the appliance. If the appliance will be lifted off the ground and slid into the framed opening, we suggest changing the framing width from 54-3/8″ (1381 mm) to 58-3/8″ (1483 mm) to allow the appliance to slide into position with the handles on,
or creating a platform in front of the framed opening where the lift handles can be removed prior to installation. If the framing is raised off the ground you can install it after the appliance is in place with handles removed to maintain the framing width of 54-3/8″ (1381 mm). Ensure that the wood base for the
appliance is strong enough to support its shipping weight of 480 pounds.

Note: A combined minimum of 152 square inches of open area is required for the convection air outlet to cool the enclosure. Ensure clearances for convection air outlets are met. See clearances in this manual for different ways to achieve this.

1. Locate the unit in the framing, rough in the gas (preferably on the right side of the unit). Locate the centerline of the termination and mark wall accordingly. Cut an square hole in the wall – see chart (inside dimension).
Note: If installing termination on a siding covered wall, a vinyl siding standoff or vinyl furring strips must be used to ensure that the termination is not recessed into the siding.

Outside Wall

6. Pull the centre inner and outer flex liner out enough to slip over the flue collars of the fireplace. (You may wish to cut the liner shorter to make it more workable.) Do not bend liner more than 90º. The liners must slip over the collars a minimum of 1-3/8″.
7. Apply Mill-Pac over the fireplace inner flue collar and slip the inner flex liner down over it and attach with 3 supplied screws.
8. Do the same with the outer flue collar and outer flex liner.
9. Apply a bead of silicone between the thimble and termination and around the outer edge of the terminal at the wall in order to keep the water out.
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.

NOTE

NOTES

Venting Introduction (Non Power Vent)
The CV50E 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. 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.
These flue pipes must not be connected to any other appliance.
Venting Arrangement for Horizontal Terminations (Rigid and Flex)
The diagram shows all allowable combinations of vertical runs with horizontal terminations, using one 90o elbow (two 45o elbows equal one 90o elbow). · Must use optional rigid pipe adapter (part# 770-994) when using rigid pipe venting systems. · For horizontal terminations, the Regency direct vent flex system may be used for installations with a maximum continuous vent length of up to 10 feet. If longer runs are required, rigid pipe must be used.

VENT RESTRICTOR SETTING: Vent restrictor factory set at Set 0. Refer to the “Vent Restrictor Position” section for details on how to change the vent restrictor from the factory setting of Set 0 to Set 3 if required. · 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.

Horizontal Terminations – Rigid Pipe 5″ x 8″ (Non Power Vent)
The minimum components required for a basic horizontal termination are:

1 Horizontal Termination Cap 1 Rigid Pipe Adaptor (770-994) 1 Wall Thimble 1 Length of pipe to suit wall thickness
(see chart)

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 the 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.

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.

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.

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.

See diagram 56. Do not attempt to enclose the snorkel within the wall or any other type of enclosure.
Diagram 5 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.

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 table below 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.

Roof Flashing

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.

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.
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 MillPac 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.
12. Repeat Step 11 to secure outer flex.

IMPORTANT

Introduction
· The instructions contained in this manual must be read carefully prior to installation of this appliance. · 120 Volt AC power is required for this appliance to operate. A receptacle box, receptacle, and cover are provided.
See the “Wiring the Unit” section in this manual. Electrical power must be brought to the appliance by a licensed electrician.
The City 50 Series power vent system is designed to allow the installation of this gas appliance when typical vent configurations (Non-Power Vent Direct Vent Systems With no Fan Assist) are not possible due to excessive offsets, long or negative vent runs, etc.
When installed as a power vent appliance, this unit is designed to use flex or rigid venting.
The City 50 models come with a 5″ inner and 8″outer collar which must be reduced to 4″ inner x 6-5/8″ outer (102 mm x 168 mm) in all applications. See required reducers required as per below depending if using rigid/flex pipe.

NOTES

The Vent Pipe Adaptor must always be used for Power Vent System: See below ” Pipe Adaptor & Reducer CHART”.

· Rigid pipe is approved for up to 72 feet (21.95 m). · Flex pipe is approved for up to 40 feet (12.19 m) using 2 X 946-756– 20 foot (6.10 m) flex kits.

NOTES

There are two options available when installing this unit as a power vent appliance: · End of line flush horizontal power vent system (Part #946-535): flush power vent fan acts as the termination cap and sits flush to the outside
wall. Allowed for horizontal termination only. · Inline power vent system (Part #666-945): power vent fan terminal is incorporated into the vent run – allows for both horizontal and vertical
termination.
This unit may be terminated vertically or horizontally using the Power Vent Systems available. See the following pages for various vent configurations using rigid or flex & vertical or horizontal terminations. The instructions contained in this manual must be read carefully prior to installation.
