INSTALLATION INTO A SOLID
FUEL BURNING FIREPLACE
OR FACTORY BUILT
FIREPLACE
The E33 Gas Inserts have been tested and
approved to be vented into any masonry fireplace
or approved solid fuel burning factory built
fireplace that will allow the insert to physically fit
into the firebox. Refer to the "Minimum Fireplace
Dimensions" section.
If the factory built fireplace* height is too low
for your Insert, you may remove the smoke
baffle plate and damper from the factory built
fireplace as long as these items are saved and
are reinstalled in the event that the Insert is
removed. NOTE: Any alterations made to the
listed solid fuel burning factory built fireplace
may void the listing of the fireplace. Cutting
any sheet-metal parts of the fireplace, in which
the gas fireplace insert is to be installed, is
prohibited.
If the factory-built fireplace has no gas access
hole(s) provided, an access hole of 1.5"
(37.5mm) or less may be drilled through the
lower sides or bottom of the firebox in a proper
workmanship like manner. This access hole
must be plugged with non-combustible

E33-10 FPI Direct Vent Gas Insert
insulation after the gas supply line has been
installed.
The fireplace and fireplace chimney must
be clean and in good working order and
constructed of non-combustible materials and
chimney cleanouts must fit properly. Refractory,
glass doors, screen rails, screen mesh, and
log grates can be removed from the fireplace
before installing the gas fireplace insert. Smoke
shelves, shields and baffles may be removed
if attached by mechanical fasteners. A tight
connection between the gas fireplace insert flue
collar and the fireplace chimney must be made.
*Check with your local inspector before commencing
with this installation.
INSTALLATION
CHECKLIST
Before installing vent system ensure that the damper
plate is open and secure to prevent the damper plate
from falling down and crushing the liner.
The Regency Gas Insert is installed as listed below.
1) Check all clearances to combustibles. Refer
to the following sections where applicable:
a. Minimum Clearances to Combustibles.
b. Regency Flush Combustible Mantel
Clearances
c. Mantel Clearances
2) Make the gas connection. Refer to the "Gas
Connection" section.
3) Install the 3" flue liner to the sliding connector
plate. Refer to the "Flue Liner Installation"

4) Slide the unit half way into the fireplace.
5) Pull the vent connector plate through the tapered
brackets and fasten to the front plate. Refer to
the "Flue Liner Installation" section.
6) Slide the unit fully into the fireplace.
7) Install 4AA batteries into receiver. Hook receiver
to wire marked receiver, this will enable
operation of the appliance manually when
position in "ON" position.
8) Test gas pressure, refer to the "Gas Pipe
Pressure Testing" section. Check aeration
system, refer to "Gas Insert Aeration Systems"
section.
Installer must mechanically attach the supplied
label to the inside of the firebox of the fireplace
into which the gas fireplace insert is installed.
"WARNING: This fireplace has been
converted for use with a gas fireplace insert
only and cannot be used for burning wood or
solid fuels unless all original parts have been
replaced, and the fireplace re-approved by
the authority having jurisdiction."
9) Install standard and optional features. Refer

a. Brick Panels
b. Log Installation
c. Faceplate
d. Standard Flush Door
e. Remote Control
10) Final check. Refer to the "Final Check"
section. Before leaving this unit with the
customer, the installer must ensure that the
appliance is firing correctly. This includes:
a)
Clocking the appliance to ensure the
correct firing rate.
b)
Adjusting the primary air, if required, to
ensure that the flame does not carbon.
Refer to the "Gas Insert Aeration
System" section.
c)
Ensuring that the appliance is venting
correctly.
MATERIALS
REQUIRED
No electrical power supply is required for the gas
control to operate. A 120 Volt AC power cord is
hooked up to the fan. Plug the 3 wire cord into
a suitable receptacle. Do not cut the ground
terminal off under any circumstances. When
connected with 120 volts, the appliance must be
electrically grounded in accordance with local
codes, current version of the Canadian Electrical
Code CSA C22.1 (in Canada) or in the absence
of local codes, with the National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA 70.
NOTE:
This unit is equipped with a heat
sensor
thermodisc which will prevent the
blower from operating until the unit reaches
the correct temperature.
