LOCATION OF
FIREPLACE
1)
Carefully select the proper location for heat
circulation, aesthetics, chimney obstructions
and clearance to side wall(s). With proper
pre-planning, a slight adjustment of a few
inches can save considerable time and
expense later during construction and
assembly.
2)
Carefully consider the position of the fireplace
opening with respect to the location of
adjacent or nearby stairwells, bath or kitchen
exhaust fans and/or return air registers for
forced air furnaces/air conditioners that
could cause a smoking fireplace condition
if the house is tightly insulated.
3)
Fireplace must be anchored to the framing
to prevent movement or rocking; use the
nailing strips which have been supplied.
The nailing strips are installed to the side
of the unit and to the front side of the 2 x 4
or 2 x 6.
1)
Insert the metal safety strip, packaged
with the fireplace beneath the fireplace as
illustrated in Diagram 1 below. The safety
strip should be tacked down to prevent
possible shifting and should overlap for
continual coverage of the floor.
Note: A safety strip is not required when the
fireplace rests on a non-combustible
surface.
Note: Install the hearth extension only
as illustrated.
The safety strip should extend 2 in. (51 mm)
in front and on the sides of the fireplace.
In the event a wooden support is used to
elevate the fireplace above the floor, a “Z”
type safety strip should be fabricated from
20 gauge galvanized sheet steel and used
to protect the front surface of the wood
support as well as the floor beneath the
hearth extension.

Diagram 1
Note: The “Z” type safety strip is not
supplied by Regency and must be
fabricated locally.
The proposed alternative is 4” (102mm) brick
with a C-factor of 1.25 over 1/8” (3mm) mineral
board with a k-factor of 0.29.
Step (a):
Use formula above to convert
specification to R-value.
R = 1/k x T = 1/0.84 x .75 = 0.893.
Step (b):
Calculate R of proposed system.
4” brick of C = 1.25, therefore
Rbrick = 1/C = 1/1.25 = 0.80
1/8” mineral board of k = 0.29,
therefore Rmin.bd. = 1/0.29 x
0.125 = 0.431
Total R = Rmineral board
= 0.8 + 0.431 = 1.231.
Step (c):
Compare proposed system R of
1.231 to specified R of 0.893.
Since proposed system R is
greater than required, the system
is acceptable.

Thermal Conductance:

= Btu = W
(hr)(ft2)(oF) (m2))(k)
Thermal Conductivity:
k =(Btu)(inch) = W = Btu
(hr)(ft3)(oF) (m)(k) (hr)(ft)(oF)
Thermal Resistance:
R = (ft2)(hr)(oF) = (m2)(k)

W
Note: Ducting is tested at 1 in. (25mm) clearance to framing.
HEARTH EXTENSION
NOTE
: Hearth must have 1/2" (13mm) Millboard
under finish material with minimum "k" factor
of 0.84. When unit is raised 4" (102mm), the
thermal floor protection is not required. If you
plan to raise the fireplace and hearth extension,
build the platform assembly then position
fireplace and hearth extension on top. If you
are not raising the unit, check that you will have
sufficient clearance under the bottom louver
for your finishing material on top of the hearth
extension, i.e. tiles, concrete board, etc.
How To Determine
If Alternate Floor
Protection Materials Are
Acceptable
The specified floor protector should be 1/2”
(13mm) thick material with a k-factor of 0.84.
