INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
for Regency
Direct Vent System (Flex)
®
1) Locate the unit in the framing, 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. Locate the centerline of the termination
and mark wall accordingly. Cut a 10"(254mm)
hole in the wall (inside dimension).
Note: To make the installation more aesthetically
pleasing, we recommend framing out a
square to mount the terminal to.

Note: A 2-1/2" (64mm) horizontal top and
1-1/2" (38mm) horizontal sides & bottom
clearance around the liner must be main-
tained except that only a 1" (25mm) clear-
ance is needed at the termination end.
We recommend framing a 10"(254mm)
x 10"(254mm) (inside dimensions) hole
to give structural rigidity for mounting
the termination.
Note: If installing termination on a siding
covered wall, furring strips must be
used to ensure that the termination is
not recessed into the siding.
2) Level the fireplace and fasten it to the framing
using nails or screws through the nailing strips.
3) Assemble the vent assembly by applying
Mill Pac to the 4"(100mm) inner collar of the
termination and slipping the 4"(100mm) liner
over it at least 1-3/8" (35mm). Fasten with
the 3 screws (drilling pilot holes will make this
easier). Apply Mill Pac to the 6-7/8"(175mm)
flex pipe and slip it over the 6-7/8" outer collar
of the vent terminal at least 1-3/8"(35mm) and
fasten with the 3 screws.
4) Separate the 2 halves of the wall thimble and
securely fasten the one with the tabs to the
outside wall making sure that the tabs are on
top and bottom. Fasten the other thimble half
to the inside wall. The thimble halves slip inside
each other and can be adjusted for 2 x 4 or 2 x
6 walls. The liners must slip over the collars
a minimum of 1-3/8".

5) Slip the assembled liner and termination as-
sembly through the thimble making sure the
termination cap faces up (there are markings
on the cap that show which way is up). This will
position the termination cap with proper down
slope for draining water. Fasten the cap to the
outer wall with the 4 supplied screws.
6) Pull the centre 4"(100mm) liner and outer
6-7/8"(175mm) liner out enough to slip over
the flue collars of the fireplace.
7) Apply Mill Pac over the fireplace inner collar
and slip the 4"(100mm) liner down over it and
attach with 3 supplied screws.

*If this is an outside corner, the minimum distance between the vent and the outside
corner is 6" (15cm) with AstroCap termination cap or 12" (30cm) with Dura-Vent ter-
mination cap. See "F" in the diagram in "Exterior Vent Termination Locations" Section.

8) Do the same with the 6-7/8"(175mm) liner.
9) Apply a bead of silicone between the thimble
and termination and around the outer edge of
the terminal at the wall in order to keep the
water out.
IMPORTANT: Do not locate termination
hood where excessive snow or ice
buildup may occur. Be sure to check
vent termination area after snow falls,
and clear to prevent accidental blockage
of venting system. When using snow
blowers, make sure snow is not directed
towards vent termination area.
