INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
for Regency
®
Direct Flue System (Flex)
Minimum and Maximum Flue Clearances
INSTALLATION
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.
*
If this is an outside corner, the minimum distance between the fl ue and the outside
corner is 6" (15cm) with
AstroCap
termination cap or 12" (30cm) with Dura-Vent
termination cap. See "F" on the diagram on page 10.
Note: A 2-1/2" (64mm) horizontal top and
1-1/2" (38mm) horizontal sides &
bottom clearance around the liner
must be maintained except that only
a 1" (25mm) clearance 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
fi replace and fasten it to the framing
using nails or screws through the nailing
strips.
3)
Assemble the fl ue 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 or high temperature
silicone to the 6-7/8"(175mm) fl ex pipe and
slip it over the 6-7/8" outer collar of the fl ue
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
assembly 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 fl ue collars of the fi replace.
7)
Apply Mill Pac over the fi replace inner collar
and slip the 4"(100mm) liner down over it
and attach with 3 supplied screws.
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
fl ue termination area after snow falls,
and clear to prevent accidental blockage
of fl ueing system. When using snow
blowers, make sure snow is not directed
towards fl ue termination area.
