- Flex system can only be used up to a maximum continuous vent length of up to 10 feet. If longer runs are required, rigid pipe must be used.
*Unit is not exactly as shown.
Venting Introduction
- The CB60E 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)
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 2 if required.
Note: 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.
- 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.
Rigid Pipe 5″ x 8″
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.
Flat Wall Installation
Wall Thickness (inches)| Vent Length Required (inches)
4″ – 5-1/2″| 6″
7″ – 8-1/2″| 9″
10″ – 11-1/2″| 12″

VERTICAL TERMINATIONS
The minimum components required for a basic vertical termination are:
- 1 Vertical Termination Cap
- 1 Rigid Pipe Adaptor (770-994)
- 1 Ceiling Firestop
- 1 Flashing
- 1 Storm Collar
- 1 Length of pipes to suit wall thickness & vent run (see chart)
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.

- Minimum 1 ft (0.3 m) following an elbow.
- Minimum 2 ft (0.6 m) prior to a termination cap.
- Minimum 2 ft. from inline PV to termination cap.
- Minimum 4′ from top of unit to inline PV.
- Max. of 72′ (22 m), using up to six 900 elbows
- (Example shows two 900 elbows).
- No negative runs.
NOTE
The inline power vent must be installed within the confines of the
home/structure.
Unit Installation with Horizontal Termination
– 5″ x 8″ Venting (Rigid Vent Systems) (Non Power Vent)
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).
Horizontal Top* | 3″ (76mm)* |
---|---|
Horizontal Side | 2 ” (51mm) |
Horizontal Bottom | 2″ (51mm) |
Vertical Vent | 2″ (51mm) |
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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).
-
Level the fireplace and fasten it to the framing using nails or screws through the top and side nailing strips.
-
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 available for this purpose. -
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 : -
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.
-
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.
-
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. *As specified in CSA B149.1 Installation Code. Local codes or regulations may require different clearances.
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. -
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. -
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.
-
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.
-
Install wall thimble in the center of the framed hole and attach with wood screws.
