Regency Fireplace Products Contura Ri50, Owners & Installation Manual

Page: 16 / 84

When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer's
installation instructions must be followed. You must also purchase
and install the ceiling support package or wall pass-through and
"T" section package, firestops (where needed), insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, etc. Maintain proper clearance to the
structure as recommended by the manufacturer. The chimney
must be the required height above the roof or other obstructions
for safety and proper draft operation.
Masonry Chimney
Ensure that a masonry chimney meets
the minimum standards of the National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA) by
having it inspected by a professional.
Make sure there are no cracks, loose
mortar or other signs of deterioration
and blockage. Have the chimney cleaned
before the fireplace is installed and
operated. When connecting the fireplace
through a combustible wall to a masonry
chimney, special methods are needed.
Masonry Fireplace
There are listed kits available to connect
a fireplace to a masonry fireplace. The
kit is an adapter that is installed at the
location of the fireplace damper. The
existing damper may have to be removed
to allow installation.
This unit is designed to use either a
5.5" (140mm) or 6" (152mm) flue liner
only within the confines of the masonry
chimney as shown.
