INSTALLATION
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.
This insert must be connected to a code-ap-
proved masonry chimney or listed factory-built
replace chimney with a direct ue connector
into the rst chimney liner section. The chimney
size should not be less than or more than three
times greater than the cross-sectional area of
the ue collar.
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.
Regency Inserts are constructed with the high-
est quality materials and assembled under strict
quality control procedures that ensure years of
trouble free and reliable performance.
It is important that you read this manual thor-
oughly and fully understand the installation and
operating procedures. Failure to follow instruc-
tions may result in property damage, bodily injury
or even death. 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.
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 - Build-
ing 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.
4) Your replace insert is heavy and requires
two or more people to move it safely. The
insert and surrounding structure can be
badly damaged by mishandling.
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
ue servicing another appliance or an air
distribution duct.
6) Alteration of the replace in any manner is not
permitted with the following exceptions;
a. external trim pieces which do not affect
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.
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.

INSTALLATION
Clearance diagram for installations
Side and Top facing is a maximum of 1.5" thick.
Floor protection must non-combustible, insulative
material with an R value of 1.1 or greater.
* If the hearth extension is ush with the oor (F)
it must extend 19.5" in front of the body face
(E).
Note: Hearth Extension Width (G) is measured
from edge of fuel door to side of hearth.
** A non-combustible mantel may be installed
at a lower height if the framing is made of
metal studs covered with a non-combustible
board.
*** Mantel depth, maximum of 10" (254mm).
MASONRY AND FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACE CLEARANCES
The minimum required clearances to combustible materials when installed into a masonry or factory built replace are listed below.

HOW TO DETERMINE IF ALTERNATE
FLOOR PROTECTION MATERIALS ARE ACCEPTABLE
The specied oor 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 specication
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
specied R of 0.893. Since proposed system
R is greater than required, the system is
acceptable.

Floor Protection
Please check to ensure that your oor protection and hearth will meet the standards for
clearance to combustibles. Your hearth extension must be made from a non-combustible
material.
Thermal oor protection is not required if the unit is
raised 3.5" minimum (measured from the bottom of
the stove). However, standard ember oor protection
is required. It will need to be a non-combustible mate-
rial 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.
If the unit is not raised, thermal oor protection required
is 18" (450 mm) in the US and Canada.

INSTALLATION
INSTALLING
YOUR INSERT
SAFETY NOTE: The insert is very heavy and
will require two or three people to move it into
position. The insert can be made a little 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.
NOTE: You will be required to purchase either
the standard or offset 6" diameter (152mm)
ue adaptor that is best suited for the specic
installation.
List of Tools needed;
- Pull Rod (included with insert)
- 1/2” socket / ratchet
- 3/8 open face wrench
1) Install ex liner into existing chimney as
per liner manufacturer’s specications. See
diagram 1.
2) Install the required ue adaptor onto the end
of the ex liner. Secure the adaptor using
3 screws - 1 on the front, left and right side
as shown in diagram 2.
Alignment of the ue adaptor can be critical
during the install, it is recommended that the
ex liner be left as compressed as possible.
Before inserting the unit the adaptor should
hang, when level, slightly above the required
height.
Secure adaptor using 3 screws - 1 in the
front and 1 each on the left and right side.
3) Install the unit by rst setting the rear of
the unit into the replace. See diagram
3. Ensure that the unit is centered in the
existing replace and lined up with the ue
adaptor.
4) Slide the unit back until the ue adaptor is
slightly engaged.
5) At this point it is recommended to level the
unit and ensure that the leveling bolts rest
on the surface of the replace. This will keep
the adaptor from binding as the unit is slid
into position.
6) Insert the provided pull rod through the
hole in the top center of the unit. Secure
the threaded end into the ue adaptor as
shown in diagram 4. While sliding the unit
into place pull on the rod to ensure that
the ue adaptor is properly engaged. See
diagram 5.
Pull Rod
7) Ensure that the unit is still level.
8) To complete the installation and to ensure a
secure t and connection of the ue adaptor
to the insert, it is essential that the two bolts,
at washers and lock washers (supplied
with packaged manual) be installed and
tightened using a 1/2" socket as shown in
diagram 6. This prevents the possibility of
creosote drip and exhaust gas leakage.
9) Remove the pull rod from the top center of
the replace. See diagram 7.
10) Re-install the door if removed prior to
installation.
NOTE: The pull rod should not be thrown
away. It should be kept if the stove
is ever needed to be removed from
the replace.

INSTALLATION
1) Positive Flue
Connection
with Cleanout
2) Direct Flue
Connection
with Cleanout
3a) Full Flue Liner
(No Cleanout
Required)
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 ef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, dif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 perform-
ance purposes. When a 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, difcult start-ups, smoking out the door,
and dirty glass.
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.
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.
When referencing installation or connec-
tion to masonry replaces 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 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-S635 or CAN/ULC-S640, Stand-
ard for Lining Systems for New Masonry
Chimneys.
4) If the oor of your replace is below the
level of the 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
ue liner with the position of the smoke outlet
hole on the insert to check for possible offset.
If an offset is required, use the appropriate
offset adaptor in your installation.
6) Once the above items have been checked,
slide your insert into position after rst po-
sitioning and securing the ue liner to the
offset adaptor.
Attach the rod to the adaptor and slide the
adaptor onto the unit as the unit is slid into
position. Ensure a positive connection.
Secure the adaptor to the unit by using 2
bolts, at washers, lock washers and one
screw in the front.
Re-install raincap at completion of installa-
tion.
