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.

2)

 

Check your local building codes - Building 
Inspection 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 fi replace insert.

4) 

Your fi replace 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 fi replace 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 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.

7)

  Do not connect the insert to a chimney fl ue 

servicing another appliance or an air distribution 
duct.

6)

  Alteration of the fi replace in any manner is not 

permitted with the following exceptions; 

 
 

a. 

  external trim pieces which do not affect the 

operation of the fi replace may be removed 
providing they can be stored on or within 
the fi replace for re-assembly if the insert is 
removed.

 
 

b.

   the chimney damper may be removed to 

install the chimney liner.

7)

  Circulating air chambers (i.e. in a steel fi re-

place liner or metal heat circulator) shall not 
be blocked.

8)

  Means must be provided for removal of the 

insert to clean the chimney fl ue.

9)

  Inserts that project in front of the fi replace must 

be supplied with appropriate supporting means.

10)

 Installer must mechanically attach the supplied 

label to the inside of the fi rebox of the fi replace 
into which the insert is installed.
