Regency Inserts are designed to use either a
5.5" (140mm) or 6" (152mm) flue.
Requirements for Installing
Solid-fuel Inserts in Factory-built
Fireplaces.
1) The insert must be tested and meet the
requirementsof UL1482(U.S.)and or ULC
S628 (Canada) when tested in a masonry
fireplace built per ULC S628.
2) Thefactory-builtfireplacemustbelistedper
UL 127 or ULC S610.
3) Clearancesobtainedfromthemasonryfire-
place tests are also relevant for installation
in factory-built fireplaces.
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 flue collar and the

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 fireplace 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
awarethatlocal codesand regulationsmay
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
youplantoinstallafireplaceinsertorhearth

4) Your fireplace 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 fireplace 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 fireplace 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
yourinsert. Donotremovebricksormortar
from your masonry fireplace.
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 fireplace
mustbesuppliedwithappropriatesupporting
means.
10) Installer must mechanically attach the sup-
plied label 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 instal-
lation manual and appropriate markings. Final
approval is contingent on the authority having
jurisdiction.

These brackets are to be used to hold the flue

connection. The brackets are screwed into the
top of the Insert in the pre-punched holes and
then screwed into the flue liner.

When a connected flue or liner is in use, the
insert is able to “breathe” better by allowing a

decrease problems such as, difficult start-ups,
smoking out the door, and dirty glass.
INSTALLATION INTO A
FACTORY BUILT
FIREPLACE
1) When installed in a factory built fireplace, a
full stainless steel rigid or flexible flue liner
When referencing installation or connec-
tion to masonry fireplaces or chimneys, the
masonry construction must or shall be code
complying.
INSTALLATION INTO A
MASONRY FIREPLACE
The insert must be installed as per the require-
ments of your local inspection authority. Three
methods of flue connection are acceptable in
most areas, these include:
1) Positive flue connection, where a large
blocking plate and a short connector pipe
is used.
2) Direct flue connection, where a smaller
blocking plate and a connector pipe to the
first flue liner tile is used.
3) Full flue liner, where a stainless steel rigid
orflexiblelinerpipeisrouted fromthe 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
mostoptimumperformance. Yourretailershould
be able to help you decide which system would
be the best for your application.
In Canada this fireplace insert must be
installedwith acontinuous chimney liner
of 5.5" (140mm) or 6" (152mm) diameter
extending from the fireplace insert to the
topofthechimney.Thechimneylinermust
conform to the Class 3 requirements of
CAN/ULC-S640, Standard for Lining Sys-
tems for New Masonry Chimneys.

2) In order to position the flue liner, the exist-
ing rain cap must be removed from your
chimney system. In most cases the flue
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.
6) Once the above items have been checked,
slide your insert into position after first po-
sitioning the flue liner and offset if required.
(Re-installraincapatcompletion ofinstalla-
tion).
A) H2104M and I3104L 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 first, to help them stay
in position).
2) Screw the side faceplate panels, (itemA 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
withinapproximately1/4"oftheoverallwidth.
If the difference is greater than this, use
the supplied washers to attain the required
width.
B) All units
The unit may now be slid into final position and
attached to the connection system.
Once connection is made, the insulation strips

is mandatory, for both safety and perform-
ance purposes. When a flue 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, difficult start-ups, smoking out the door,
and dirty glass.
Flush Inserts Hearth Heater
4) If the floor of your fireplace is below the
level of the fireplace 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 flue 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.
FACEPLATE AND TRIM
Prior to sliding your insert into its final position
and attaching the connector or liner pipe, the
faceplate side panel plates must be installed
as follows:

The stainless smoke deflector is located in the upper front area of the firebox. The deflector is held in place with 2 bolts
Prior to the first fire, ensure deflector is seated properly and secured with 2 hand tightened bolts.
To replace the deflector, loosen off both bolts and slide defector upward and out. Install new defector and hand tighten bolts. Ensure positive location of
the defector prior to hand tightening.
WARNING: Operation of the unit with out proper installation of smoke deflector will void warranty.
