the appliance must be electrically grounded in ac-
cordance with local codes, or in the absence of local
codes, with the current Canadian Electrical Code
CSA C22.1 (in Canada) or with the current National

CONNECTED TO A CHIMNEY FLUE
SERVING A SEPARATE SOLID FUEL
BURNING APPLIANCE.
This appliance is designed to attach to a 4" diameter
type B-Vent or double thickness approved aluminium
flex liner.
VENTING CONFIGURATIONS
The E18E is approved to be attached to any of
the approved appliances listed in the Installation
Checklist. The existing unit must be connected to
B-Vent Pipe having at least 8 feet of vertical venting
and can have a maximum of 6 feet horizontal vent-
ing with two 90 degree elbows. The venting must
terminate vertically with an approved B-Vent Cap.
All horizontal runs must maintain a 1/4" of rise for
every foot of horizontal run.
The flue collar of the appliance will fit inside a
standard vent and may be fastened directly to the
vent using a minimum of 3 sheet metal screws or
a B-Vent, single wall vent connector.
B-Vent chimneys require a 1" clearance to com-
bustibles.
The Regency
®
Insert incorporates its own internal
draft hood, so no additional external draft hood is
required. Check periodically that the vent is unre-
stricted and an adequate draft is present when the
unit is in operation.
Before installing the vent system ensure that the
damper plate is locked into the open position and
secure to prevent the damper plate from falling
down and crushing the liner.
The appliance is equipped with a vent safety shutoff
system and a safety control system designed to
protect against improper venting of combustion
products. The appliance will not function without
being connected to a proper system.
WARNING: Operation of this heater when
not connected to a properly installed and
maintained venting system or tampering
with the vent shut-off system can result
in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and
possible death.
This appliance must not be connected to a chimney
flue serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance.
For best venting performance, we recommend the
following venting rules:
1. Use only certified Type B gas vent or approved
flex liner.
2. Follow the vent manufacturer's instructions and
clearance requirements.
3. Observe any local code restrictions, if any,
regarding the installation of gas inserts.
4. Use as few elbows as possible.
5. Keep horizontal lengths as short as possible
and maintain at least an upward slope of 1/4 in.
(6.4mm) for every 12 in. (305mm) of horizontal
run.
6. Terminate the vent with a suitable certified
vent cap.
