Regency Gemfire™ Gas Fireplace
13
INSTALLATION
VENTING INTRODUCTION
The Gem54™ uses the "balanced flue" technology Co Axial system.
The inner liner vents products of combustion to the outside while the
outer liner draws outside combustion air into the combustion chamber
thereby eliminating the need to use heated room air for combustion and
losing warm room air up the chimney.
Note: These flue pipes must not be connected to any other
appliance.
The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside
of the building, and never be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid
fuel or gas burning appliance. Each direct vent gas appliance must use
it's own separate vent system. Common vent systems are prohibited.
The top stand off / nailing strip is shipped attached to the back of the unit as
shown below.

Replace the screw on the back the unit after removing the
standoff / nailing strip.
2)
Bend the 3 tabs at the bottom of the stand off / nailing strip to 90
°
,
bend in the same direction as the top tabs.
3)
Install on the top front of the unit as shown in diagram 3. Do not fully
tighten the screws when installing - until the facing thickness has been
determined.

NAILING STRIPS
The nailing strips come attached to the unit. There is 1 plate on each side,1
on the top, and one on the bottom that can be folded out as required. The
top and side nailing strips are secured to the framing. The bottom nailing
strip is secured to the unfinished floor - if installing the unit directly on the
floor.
Note:
The bottom nailing strip will need to be bent on site and
adjusted to accommodate the thickness of the facing material.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Framing depth measurement is noted with
the side nailing strips set as far forward on
the firebox as possible. The nailing strips can
be adjusted back up to 1” to allow for varying
thicknesses in non-combustible material & wall
finishes.
