Ventilation Openings
Regency's patented Cool Wall system releases warmth at ceiling level. This
system reduces excessive radiant heat in front of the replace so you can
enjoy your replace more often.
• Design your own chase vent solution to suit your home
• Use optional front or left & right side chase vent grills
• Release warmth into the room discreetly
Front Exit
The ventilation opening may be placed in front ensuring it meets the 120
square inch opening & is located 0-3" (76mm) from the enclosure ceiling.
SIde Exit (Left/Right)
Ventilation openings, when placed on both sides, must be of the same size.
They must be have an equal split (50/50) free air opening to balance air ow.
A ventilation opening may never be on one side only.
The ventilation openings cannot be any smaller than 6" (152mm) wide to
equal the total area of 120 square inches of free open area.
Example: 6" (152mm) wide x 10" (254 mm) High = 60 square inches per
side of free open area. A second ventilation grill is installed on the other side
to =100%.
The ventilation openings must be located 0-3" from the enclosure ceiling.
Top Exit
The ventilation opening may be short of the ceiling as shown below.
Minimum opening height must be 1-1/2" (38 mm) measured from top of
enclosure to the ceiling and must be in open in front and both sides to
meet the minimum 120 square inches free open air requirement.
Ventilation Opening Locations
The following are examples of how the ventilation openings may be placed
above the replace.
If using the optional heat wave kit, this does not reduce the size of the
ventilation opening. The ventilation opening(s) must be a minimum 120
square inches regardless.
The air travelling through the heat exchanger is heated by the replace and
then directed out the back of the replace. The combined warmed air is then
vented back into the room.
The ventilation opening may be fully open at the top of the enclosure.
This type of ventilation opening would be used when the top of the
enclosure is not visible from above and where the ceiling within the
room is higher than normal. When creating this type of ventilation
opening, measures should be into place to avoid having objects of any
type falling or be thrown into the ventilation opening. Mesh screen or
other preventative measures should be put into place.
The ventilation opening may be placed on top ensuring it meets the 120
square inch opening. This type of ventilation opening would be used
when the top of the enclosure is visible from above and where the
ceiling within the room is higher than normal.
