4. Install vent. Refer to the "Venting" section.

5. Test Gas pressure. Refer to the "Gas Pipe

Pressure Testing" section.

Check aeration. Refer to the "Gas Insert Aera-

tion System" section.

6. Test for flue spillage. Refer to the "Drafthood

Check" section.

Before leaving this unit with the customer, the

installer must ensure that the appliance is firing

correctly and operation fully explained to customer.

This includes:

1. Clocking the appliance to ensure the correct

firing rate (rate noted on label) after burning

appliance for 15 minutes.

2. If required, adjusting the primary air to ensure

that the flame does not carbon. First allow the

unit to burn for 15-20 min. to stabilize.

3. Ensure that the appliance is venting correctly.

4. All original vent systems must be inspected for

carbon/soot build up prior to installation of the

E18E. The installer should also ensure prior

to installation that the existing vent system is

adequate for the rated input of this appliance

(21,600 BTU NG/20,500 BTU LP).

Signs of white buildup (aldehydes) in the vent

system would indicate that the appliance

was not drafting properly due to vent height,

diameter of vent, excessive offsets, negative

pressure, kinks, etc.

Adhere to the local gas code within your

jurisdiction for vent sizing.

Any venting system that causes the Regency

E18E to not function as it should is not the

responsibility of the manufacturer.

CAUTION: Any alteration to the product that

causes sooting or carboning that results in dam-

age is not the responsibility of the manufacturer.

GAS CONNECTION

Only persons licensed to work with gas piping

may make the necessary gas connections to this

appliance.

The gas connection is a 1/2" NPT accessible on the

left side of the unit. 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 CAN/CGA B149 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 burner or

fan 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.
