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 stainless steel liner.
This fireplace insert must be installed with a con-
tinuous chimney liner extending from the fireplace
insert to the top of the chimney. The chimney liner
must conform to the Class 3 requirements of CAN/
ULC-S635, Standard for Lining Systems for Exist-
ing Masonry or Factory- Built Chimneys and Vents,
or CAN/ULC S640, Standard for Lining Systems for
New Masonry Chimneys,UL1777.
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.
2. The factory-built fireplace must be listed per UL
127 or ULC S610.
3. Clearances obtained from the masonry fireplace
tests are also relevant for installation in factory-
built fireplaces.
4. Installation must include a full height listed chim-
ney liner type HT requirements (2100 degree
F.) per UL 1777 (U.S.) or ULC S635, ULCS640
(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 pas-
sage 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.
6. Alteration of the fireplace in any manner is not
permitted with the following exceptions;
a. External trim pieces which do not affect the
operation of the fireplace may be removed
providing they can be stored on or within
the fireplace for re-assembly if the insert is
removed.
b. The chimney damper may be removed to
install the chimney liner.
Regency Inserts are constructed with the highest
quality materials and assembled under strict quality
control procedures that insure years of trouble free
and reliable performance.
It is important that you read this manual thoroughly
and fully understand the safe installation and operat-
ing procedures. 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.
7. Circulating air chambers (i.e. in a steel fireplace
liner or metal heat circulator) shall not be blocked.
8. Means must be provided for removal of the insert
to clean the chimney flue.
9. Inserts that project in front of the fireplace must
be supplied with appropriate supporting means.
10. Installer must mechanically attach the supplied
metal tag to the inside of the firebox of the
fireplace into which the insert is installed.
In order for a solid-fuel insert to be certified for use
in factory-built fireplaces, the above information
must be clearly stated in the installation manual and
appropriate markings. Final approval is contingent
on the authority having jurisdiction.
Emissions from burning wood or gas could contain
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
"WARNING: This fireplace has been
converted for use with a wood insert only
and cannot be used for burning wood or
solid fuels unless all original parts have been
replaced, and the fireplace re-approved by
the authority having jurisdiction."

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

tion is required. It will need to be a non-combustible
material that covers 16" (406 mm) in the US and
18" (450 mm) in Canada to the front of the unit and
8" (200 mm) to the sides.
All floor protection must be non-combustible (i.e.,
metals, brick, stone, mineral fiber boards, etc.) Any
organic materials (i.e. plastics, wood paper products,
etc.) are combustible and must not be used. The floor
protection specified includes some form of thermal
designation similar to R-value (thermal resistance)
or k-factor (thermal conductivity).
Floor protector listed to UL1618.
The minimum required clearances to combustible materials when installed into a masonry or factory built fireplace are listed below.

HOW TO DETERMINE IF ALTERNATE FLOOR PROTECTION MATERIALS ARE ACCEPTABLE
The specified floor protector should be 3/8"
(18mm) thick material with a K - factor of 0.84.
The proposed alternative is 4" (100mm) 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 = Rbrick + 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.

CI2600/HI400 | wood insert
10 | installation
Your insert is very heavy and will require two or three people to move it into position. The insert can be made lighter by removing the cast iron
door by opening it and lifting it off its hinges. Be sure to protect your hearth extension with a heavy blanket or carpet scrap during the installation.
Evaluate your minimum cavity opening. If the cavity height lends itself to conduct the install without removing the flue collar, then just slide the unit into place
and position the liner within the flue collar and secure.
If the cavity dictates the flue collar needs to be removed or the optional offset flue adaptor is required, please follow the steps below.
1. Remove door, manual package, and bricks - see instructions in manual.
2. Remove Bypass Rod - turn counter clockwise.
3. The Bypass Rod was threaded through a "Fork" - access Fork through
the flue and remove by bringing it through the front of the unit.
4. From inside the firebox - remove 7/16" bolt at back of firebox to remove
the flue collar.
5. Install chimney liner, attach connector from flex kit with band and screws
(ensure tabs on connector are positioned so they won't get in the way
of the Bypass Rod - or remove them) attach flue collar with 2 or more
screws, to the liner within fireplace cavity.
Ensure to position at the proper height and angle to be able to attach the
unit.
6. Before sliding the unit into place and attaching the collar - the following
parts must be removed to allow access and a positive connection.
a) Primary Air Shield
b) Combustor Flame Shield
c) Combustor
d) Upper Shield - accessed through combustor opening
Remove Fork
Bypass Rod
A-Primary Air Shield - loosen 2 x 7/16"
bolts - slide forward to remove.
B- Combustor Flame Shield - loosen 2 x 7/16"
bolts to remove.
