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 fi replace
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"
or 6" (152mm) fl ue.
This insert must be connected to a code-approved
masonry chimney or listed factory-built fi replace
chimney with a direct fl ue connector into the fi rst
chimney liner section.
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 fi replace
built per ULC S628.
2)
The factory-built fi replace must be listed per
UL 127 or ULC S610.
3)
Clearances obtained from the masonry fi replace
tests are also relevant for installation in factory-
built fi replaces.
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 fl ue collar and the chimney top.
5)
Means must be provided to prevent room air
passage to the chimney cavity of the fi replace.
This may be accomplished by sealing the
damper area around the chimney liner, or
sealing the fi replace 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
Note:
The CI1200 does not include a blower and
one cannot be added to this appliance. If a blower
is required, you must purchase the CI1250 which
comes with a standard blower. The CI1250 has
an increased height to accommodate the blower.
1)
Read all instructions before installing and us-
ing your fi replace insert. Install and use only
in accordance with manufacturer’s installation
and operating instructions.

Check your local building codes - Building
Inspection Department. You may require
a permit before installing your insert. Be

building and safety codes before installation

your Regency Insert, you should either remove
or secure it in the open position.
6)
Inspect your fi replace 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
fi replace.

Do not connect the insert to a chimney fl ue
servicing another appliance or an air distribution
duct.
