Framing And Finishing Inset Installations - Regency Fireplace Products City Series CC40LE-NG12 Owners & Installation Manual

Framing and Finishing Inset Installations

1. Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing material
Note: When constructing the framed opening ensure there is sufficient
access to install the gas lines,electrical. Also the wiring harness must be
wall mounted using the receptacle provided with the appliance. The wiring
harness will be located on the right hand side of the appliance if facing the
unit from the front. This must be done prior to any finishing.
2. For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to the same degree as the rest
of the house, apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per local installation
codes. (Do not insulate the fireplace itself.)
WARNING: Failure to insulate and add vapor barriers to the inside of the
exterior wall will result in operational and performance problems including,
but not limited to: excessive condensation on glass doors, poor flame pack-
age, carbon, blue flames etc. These are not product related issues.
3. IMPORTANT:
Exterior wall/Alcove enclosure: When installing into an exterior
cavity or alcove enclosure (ceiling, back and sides), regardless of where
appliance is placed within the home, requires the use of either drywall
or other means such as plywood, wood studs, etc. to prevent heat from
escaping anywhere above/through the enclosure other than the required
grill/ventilation openings.
Internal chase: When installing as an internal chase framing installa-
tion, regardless of where appliance is placed within the home, requires
the use of either drywall or other means such as plywood, on the rear
wall of the chase to eliminate heat escaping into the rear wall cavity.
If the chase is extended to the ceiling ,the ceiling will also need to be
finished in a manner to prevent heat escaping into floor joist/attic space.
One of the following methods must be used to prevent the heat from
escaping:
a. If choosing drywall, ensure that the drywall is butt up tight with no
gaps.
b. Plywood, wood studs, etc. installed tightly with no gaps.
As this appliance has been designed with all hot air escaping through
the chase enclosure ventilation / grill openings only, if hot air is trapped
as a result of the hot air escaping through joints, crevasses, open studs,
or other openings within the enclosure above, this will change the clear-
ances within the enclosure causing the enclosure to overheat. It is vital
that all the hot air from within the enclosure exits through the ventilation
openings only.
Ensure that the ventilation openings are made as such to prevent debris,
objects from falling into the enclosure.
Warning: DO NOT cover or place objects in front of the ventilation open-
ing air outlet(s).
Note that in all applications while there is a zero clearance to combustibles
to the unit, all clearances to combustibles from the venting inside the chase
still applies. Please see venting clearances in the specific product manual.
4. Combustible material (drywall, wood, wood panels, etc.) may be brought
up to this appliance (top,bottom and sides)
5. Ensure that the material being used does not encroach anywhere in the
area of the glass. This would cause dangerous operating conditions.
6. This appliance comes with a 1/2" lip at top, sides and bottom to hide the
ends of the drywall. The 1/2" side and bottom, front and bottom side lips
supplied with the appliance can alternatively be removed and replaced
with J Style Trim or Metal Corner Bead purchased at your local hardware
store to cover cut/exposed edges of the combustible facing material or
any other finishing materials being used. Six (6) screws secure the bot-
tom front lip. Two (2) secure the bottom side lips and 2 secure the side
if deciding to remove these. These will be hidden so the outer panels (if
installed) will need to be removed to access the screws. See outer panel
removal in this manual.
7. This appliance can also be recessed (using combustible materials) with a
hearth in front of the appliance. This can also extend to the top.
8. The wall behind the unit must be closed off.
Note: an offset screwdriver is provided with the appliance for ease of removal/
installation.
**Combustible material may extend a minimum of 1/2" and to a maximum of
5-1/8" (130mm) from the Front top. See mantle clearance chart for details.
The base and side (with smaller glass) have no limit when it comes to how
far the combustible material may extend out from the appliance. Ensure
that no material encroaches anywhere in the area of the glass as these are
defined by the finishing lip above, below and to the sides of this appliance.
