REQUIRED STEPS AND PROCEDURES FOR E18E INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT : 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.
