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.

This insert must be connected to a code-approved 

masonry chimney or listed factory-built fireplace 

chimney with a direct flue connector into the first 

chimney liner section.  The chimney size should 

not be less than or more than three times greater 

than the cross-sectional area of the flue collar.

Requirements for Installing 
Solid-fuel Inserts in Factory-built 
Fireplaces.

1.  The insert must be tested and meet the require-

ments  of  UL  1482  (U.S.)  and  or  ULC  S628 

(Canada) when tested in a masonry fireplace 

built per ULC S628.

2.  The factory-built fireplace must be listed per 

UL 127 or ULC S610.

3.  Clearances  obtained  from  the  masonry  fire

-

place tests are also relevant for installation in 

factory-built fireplaces.

4.  Installation  must  include  a  full  height  listed 

chimney  liner  type  HT  requirements  (2100 

degree F.) per UL 1777 (U.S.) or ULC S635 

(Canada). The liner must be securely attached 

to the insert flue collar and the chimney top.

5.  Means must be provided to prevent room air 

passage to the chimney cavity of the fireplace. 

This may be accomplished by sealing the 

damper area around the chimney liner, or 

sealing the fireplace front.

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.
