RESIDENTIAL
INSTALLATION
1) Read all instructions before installing your
Regency Stove. Install and use only in ac-
cordance with these installation and operating
instructions. Be aware that local Codes and
Regulations may override some items in this
manual. Check with your local inspector.
2) Select a position for your Regency Stove.
Consult the minimum clearance chart for your
model and set the stove in place. For close
clearance installation use listed double wall
connector systems (refer to Combustible Wall
Chimney Connector Pass - Throughs).
3) To insure vertical alignment, suspend a plumb
bob from the ceiling over the exact center of
your stove flue and mark a spot on the ceiling
to indicate the center of the chimney.
4) Check that the area above the ceiling is clear
for cutting. Re-confirm the clearance from the
stove to combustibles to insure that they are
within the prescribed limits.
5) Install chimney according to chimney manu-
facturers instructions. The performance of your
woodstove is governed to a very large part by
the chimney system. Too short a chimney can
cause difficult start-up, dirty glass, backsmok -
ing when door is open, and even reduced heat
output. Too tall a chimney may prompt exces-
sive draft which can result in very short burn
times and excessive heat output. The use of an
inexpensive flue pipe damper may be helpful
in reducing excessive draft.
CAUTION : The chimney should be the same
size as the flue outlet on the stove. The chimney
must be listed as suitable for use with solid
fuels. For other types of chimneys check with
your local building code officials. Do not con -
fuse a chimney with a type “B” Venting System
used for gas appliances as suitable for a wood
burning appliance (refer to the Mobile Home
installations section).
6) Mark the location of the pedestal base or legs
on the floor, then move the stove aside and
mark the position of the floor protector.
7) The floor protector must be of non-combustible
material and must extend 16" in front of the
door opening and 6" to the sides and rear of
the unit. Some areas may require a larger size
floor protector. See your local inspector. For
outside air installation refer to Mobile Home
section.
8) When the floor protection is complete, position
the stove with the flue collar centered under
the installed chimney.
9) In seismically active areas, Regency recom-
mends that your unit is secured to the floor by
using the bolt down holes inside the pedestal
(the same ones used in Mobile Home instal-
lations).
10) For residential installations using "C" Vent
(single wall) the chimney connector must be
at least 24 gauge steel. Do not use galvanized
pipe. For Mobile Home installation refer to the
Mobile Home installation section.
11) Do not connect this unit to a chimney serving
another appliance unless approved by your
local building authority.
12) A chimney connector cannot pass through an
attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed
space, or a floor, ceiling, wall or partition of
combustible construction. In Canada, if pas-
sage through a wall, or partition of combustible
construction is desired, the installation shall
conform to CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code
for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and Equip -
ment.
13) Your Regency Woodstove is not to be connected
to any air distribution duct.
ROOM AIR
IMPORTANT
For installation using room air for combustion,
remove knockout from the pedestal, and/or from
the bottom if using a heat shield.
Mobile home installations require the use of out-
side air.
On pedestal units there are two locations where
outside air may be adapted to the unit. If using the
bottom of the pedestal, do not remove knockout from
the rear of the pedestal. Only remove rear knockout
if outside air will be brought in from the rear.
On leg units outside air can only be brought in from
the bottom of the heat shield.
Note: Once the knockout is removed there are
two tabs remaining. Bend both tabs out
for ease of installation when attaching
outside air.
MODULAR INSTALLATION OPTIONS
Modular Part Things to consider when choosing options:
OPTIONS: These can be installed at time of installation or added later:
F1105 & F3105 only:
Airmate OR
Rear Heat Deflector
(all units)
Pedestal OR
Legs
The following items are required when assembling your Regency Stove. F1105 and F3105 units - the Rear Heat Deflector is supplied with the
stove, but if you choose not to use it you must use the Airmate instead.
Clearances are different. See chart on pages 7 and 8. Generally you can get closer clearances with the airmate than
with the rear heat deflector.
Convection heat with Airmate vs. Radiant Heat with Rear Heat Deflector. The airmate pushes heat forward and into
the room, the rear heat deflector deflects the heat upward. See installation instructions.
There are no performance differences with either the pedestal or legs. It is primarily a personal preference. Legs can
be either painted cast or gold plated cast.
Leg installation requires the bottom shield. See installation instructions.
Emissions from burning wood or gas could
contain chemicals known to the State of Cali-
fornia to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
NOTE: In Canada, floor protection must ex -
tend 18" to the front and 8" to each
side of the stove.
Modular Option
Blower/Fan
Ash Drawer Kit
Screen Door
Things to consider when choosing options
Adding the blower will increase the area heated by the stove, it can move warm air beyond the room where the stove
is installed. Installation instructions.
Adding the Ash Drawer Kit makes cleaning ashes out of the stove easier and cleaner. Installation instructions.
A simple add-on option that will allow you to enjoy the sound, warmth and view of an open fire.
