installation
Chimney Specifications
Before installing, check and clean your chimney
system thoroughly. If in doubt about its condition,
seek professional advice. Your Regency Insert is
designed for installation into a masonry fireplace
that is constructed in accordance with the require-
ments of "The Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces,
Vents, and Solid Fuel Burning Appliance", N.F.P.A.
211, the National Building Code of Canada, or the
applicable local code requirements.
The appliance, when installed, must be electrically
grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical
code, CSA C22.1.
Regency Inserts are designed to use either a 5.5"
(140mm) or 6" (152mm) flue.
Installation Into a Masonry
Fireplace
Regency inserts are constructed with the highest
quality materials and assembled under strict quality
control procedures that ensure years of trouble free
and reliable performance.
It is important that you read this manual thoroughly
and fully understand the installation and operating
procedures. Failure to follow instructions may result
in property damage, bodily injury or even death. The
more you understand the way your Regency Insert
operates, the more enjoyment you will experience
from knowing that your unit is operating at peak
performance.
Before Installing Your Insert
1. Read all instructions before installing and us-
ing your fireplace insert. Install and use only
in accordance with manufacturer’s installation
and operating instructions.
2. Check your local building codes - Building In-
spection Department. You may require a permit
before installing your insert. Be aware that
local codes and regulations may override
some items in the manual.
WARNING: Careless installation is the ma-
jor cause of safety hazard. Check all local
building and safety codes before installation
of unit.
3. Notify your home insurance company that you
plan to install a fireplace insert.
4. Your fireplace insert is heavy and requires two
or more people to move it safely. The insert and
surrounding structure can be badly damaged
by mishandling.
5. If your existing fireplace damper control will
become inaccessible once you have installed
your Regency Insert, you should either remove
or secure it in the open position.
6. Inspect your fireplace and chimney prior to
installing your insert to determine that it is
free from cracks, loose mortar or other signs
of damage. If repairs are required, they should
be completed before installing your insert. Do
not remove bricks or mortar from your masonry
fireplace.
7. Do not connect the insert to a chimney flue
servicing another appliance or an air distribution
duct.
When referencing installation or connection to
masonry fireplaces or chimneys, the masonry
construction must or shall be code complying.
In Canada this fireplace insert must be in-
stalled with a continuous chimney liner of 5.5"
(140mm) or 6" (152mm) diameter extending
from the fireplace insert to the top of the
chimney. The chimney liner must conform to
the Class 3 requirements of CAN/ULC-S635 or
CAN/ULC-S640, Standard for Lining Systems
for New Masonry Chimneys.
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance
up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your
chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local
geography, nearby obstructions and other factors.
Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures
in the appliance and may cause damage. An uncon-
trollable burn or excessive temperature indicates
excessive draft. Inadequate draft may cause back
puffing into the room and plugging of the chimney.
Inadequate draft will cause the appliance to leak
smoke into the room through appliance and chim-
ney connector joints. Ensure the heater is installed
in areas that are not too close to neighbors or in
valleys that would cause unhealthy air quality or
nuisance conditions.
Optional Flue
Connector Kit
The Straight Flue Adaptor (Part #846-504) shown
