Clean Front Installation (non-Cool Wall)—Mantel Clearances Due to the extreme heat this fireplace emits, the mantel clearances are critical. Combustible mantel clearances from top of front facing are shown in the Diagram on the right. Note: Ensure the paint that is used on the mantel and the facing is "High Quality" or the paint may discolour. Mantel Clearances Combustible 19"...
Clean Front Installation The finishing material can be brought to the edge of the fireplace opening.

Flex Vent or rigid pipe 4" x 6-5/8" The Diagrams show all allowable combinations of vent runs with 4" x 6-5/8" venting using the Regency direct vent system or rigid vent system. A vent guard should be used whenever the termination is lower than the specified minimum or as per local codes.
Rigid Pipe Venting Systems Horizontal or Vertical Terminations The minimum components required for a basic horizontal termination are: Horizontal Termination Cap Flat Wall Installation Elbow Wall Thickness (inches) Vent Length Required (inches) Rigid Pipe Adaptor Wall Thimble 4" - 5-1/2" 6"...
