CHIMNEY
SPECIFICATIONS
Before installing, check and clean your chimney
system thoroughly. If in doubt about its condi-
tion, seek professional advice. Your Regency
Insert is designed for installation into a masonry
replace that is constructed in accordance with
the requirements of "The Standard for Chimneys,
Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel Burning Ap-
pliance", N.F.P.A. 211, the National Building
Code of Canada, or the applicable local code
requirements.
The appliance, when installed, must be electri-
cally 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) ue.
Requirements for Installing
Solid-fuel Inserts in Factory-built
Fireplaces.
1) The insert must be tested and meet the
requirements of UL 1482 (U.S.) and or ULC
S628 (Canada) when tested in a masonry
replace built per ULC S628.
2) The factory-built replace must be listed per
UL 127 or ULC S610.
3) Clearances obtained from the masonry re-
place tests are also relevant for installation
in factory-built 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 ue collar and the
chimney top.
5) Means must be provided to prevent room
air passage to the chimney cavity of the
replace. This may be accomplished by
sealing the damper area around the chimney
liner, or sealing the replace front.
6) Alteration of the replace in any manner is not
permitted with the following exceptions;
a. external trim pieces which do not a󰀨ect
the operation of the replace may be
removed providing they can be stored
on or within the 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
replace liner or metal heat circulator) shall
not be blocked.
8) Means must be provided for removal of the
insert to clean the chimney ue.
Regency Inserts are constructed with the high-
est 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 thor-
oughly and fully understand the safe instal-
lation and operating procedures. The more
you understand the way your Regency Insert
operates, the more enjoyment you will experi-
ence from knowing that your unit is operating
at peak performance.
BEFORE INSTALLING
YOUR INSERT
1) Read all instructions before installing and
using your 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
major 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 replace insert or hearth
heater.
4) Your replace insert is heavy and requires
two or more people to move it safely. The
insert can be badly damaged by mishan-
dling.
5) If your existing replace damper control
will become inaccessible once you have
installed your Regency Insert, you should
either remove or secure it in the open posi-
tion.
6) Inspect your 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 replace.
7) Do not connect the insert to a chimney
system servicing another appliance or an
air distribution duct.
9) Inserts that project in front of the replace
must be supplied with appropriate supporting
means.
10) Installer must mechanically attach the sup-
plied label to the inside of the rebox of the
replace into which the insert is installed.
In order for a solid-fuel insert to be certied
for use in factory-built replaces, the above
information must be clearly stated in the instal-
lation manual and appropriate markings. Final
approval is contingent on the authority having
jurisdiction.

Package contains: 3 brackets and 6 screws.
These brackets are to be used to hold the ue
liner (not supplied) to the Insert and keep the
connection. The brackets are screwed into the
top of the Insert in the pre-punched holes and
then screwed into the ue liner.
Note: A clean-out door is sometimes
required, by your inspector, to be
installed when either the Positive ue
connection or Direct ue connection
method is used.
The use of one of the connection methods listed
on this page not only increases the safety of your
insert by directing the hot gases up the ue, but
will also help increase the unit's e󰀩ciency and
decrease creosote deposits in the chimney.
When a connected 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, di󰀩cult start-ups,
smoking out the door, and dirty glass.
INSTALLATION INTO A
FACTORY BUILT
FIREPLACE
1) When installed in a factory built replace, a
full stainless steel rigid or exible ue liner is
mandatory, for both safety and performance
purposes. When a ue or liner is in use, the
insert is able to breathe better by allowing

INSTALLATION INTO A
MASONRY FIREPLACE
The insert must be installed as per the require-
ments of your local inspection authority. Three
methods of ue connection are acceptable in
most areas, these include:
1) Positive ue connection, where a large
blocking plate and a short connector pipe
is used.
2) Direct ue connection, where a smaller
blocking plate and a connector pipe to the
rst ue liner tile is used.
3) Full ue liner, where a stainless steel rigid
or exible liner pipe is routed from the insert
outlet collar to the top of the chimney.
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.
In Canada this replace insert must be
installed with a continuous chimney liner
of 5.5" (140mm) or 6" (152mm) diameter
extending from the replace insert to the
top of the chimney. The chimney liner must
conform to the Class 3 requirements of
CAN/ULC-S640, Standard for Lining Sys-
tems for New Masonry Chimneys.

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.
6) Once the above items have been checked,
slide your insert into position after rst po-
sitioning the ue liner and o󰀨set if required.
(Re-install raincap at completion of installa-
tion).
A) H2103M and I3103L Insert
1) Slide the spring nuts (supplied) over the
slots in the insert’s side convection panels
(the spring nuts may need to be squeezed
with a pair of pliers rst, to help them stay
in position).
2) Screw the side faceplate panels, (item A in
the diagram) one to each side.
3) Using the top panel (item B in the diagram)
as a gauge, check that the side panels are
within approximately 1/4" of the overall width.
If the di󰀨erence is greater than this, use
the supplied washers to attain the required
width.
B) All units
The unit may now be slid into nal position and
attached to the connection system.
Once connection is made, the insulation strips
should be installed between the insert faceplates
and the replace face. The faceplate top may
now be installed (with insulation strip behind)
by aligning its brackets with the top ange on
the side shields and the angle iron bar on the
insert top. The faceplate trim may be installed
to the edge of the faceplate at this time.

2) In order to position the ue liner, the exist-
ing rain cap must be removed from your
chimney system. In most cases the ue
damper should also be removed to allow
passage of the liner.

4) If the oor of your replace is below the
level of the replace opening, adjust the
insert's levelling bolts to accommodate the
di󰀨erence. When additional shimming is
required, use non-combustible masonry or
steel shims.
5) Measure approximately the alignment of
the ue liner with the position of the smoke
outlet hole on the insert to check for pos-
sible o󰀨set. If an o󰀨set is required, use a
proper stainless steel unit available with
the chimney liner.
FACEPLATE AND TRIM
Prior to sliding your insert into its nal position
and attaching the connector or liner pipe, the
faceplate side panel plates must be installed
as follows:
