Regency Bellerive Fireplace Insert
10
INSTALLATION INTO A
MASONRY FIREPLACE
The insert must be installed as per the require-
ments of your local inspection authority.
Regency highly recommends the use of a full
liner as the safest installation and provides the
most optimum performance. Your retailer should
be able to help you decide which system would
be the best for your application.
Full Flue Liner
The use of this connection method not only
increases the safety of your insert by directing
the hot gases up the fl ue, but will also help
increase the unit's effi ciency and decrease
creosote deposits in the chimney.
When a connected fl ue or liner is in use, the
insert is able to “breathe” better by allowing a
greater draft to be created. The greater draft can
decrease problems such as, diffi cult start-ups,
smoking out the door, and dirty glass.
INSTALLATION INTO A
FACTORY BUILT
FIREPLACE
1)
When installed in a factory built fi replace, a
full stainless steel rigid is mandatory, for both
safety and performance purposes. When
a fl ue or liner is in use, the insert is able to
breathe better by allowing a greater draft to
be created. The greater draft can decrease
problems such as, diffi cult start-ups, smoking
out the door, and dirty glass.
2)
In order to position the fl ue liner, the exist-
ing rain cap must be removed from your
chimney system. In most cases the fl ue
damper should also be removed to allow
passage of the liner.
3)
In most cases opening the existing spark
screens fully should give enough room for
the insert installation. If it does not, remove
and store.
4)
If the fl oor of your fi replace is below the
level of the fi replace opening, adjust the
insert's levelling bolts to accommodate the
difference. When additional shimming is
required, use non-combustible masonry or
steel shims.
5)
Measure approximately the alignment of
the fl ue liner with the position of the smoke
outlet hole on the insert to check for pos-
sible offset. If an offset is required, use a
proper stainless steel unit available with the
chimney liner.
6)
Once the above items have been checked,
slide your insert into position after fi rst po-
sitioning the fl ue liner and offset if required.
(Re-install raincap at completion of installa-
tion).
