“This manual describes the installation and operation of the Regency I1150 wood heater. This heater meets the 2020 U.S. Environmental Protec-
tion Agency’s cord wood emission limits for wood heaters. Under specific test conditions this heater has been shown to deliver heat at rates rang-
ing from 12,800 BTU/hr to 39,100 BTU/hr.” Efficiency is determined using the B415 method resulting in lower and higher heat values. This heater
generates the best efficiency when operated using well-seasoned wood and installed in the main living areas where the majority of the chimney
is within the building envelope.
It is against federal regulation to operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions in this manual."
"This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efficiencies and lower emissions generally result when burning air dried seasoned
hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or to green or freshly cut hardwoods."

Chimney Specifications
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.
Installation Into a Masonry
Fireplace
Regency inserts are constructed with the highest
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 thoroughly
and fully understand the installation and operating
procedures. Failure to follow instructions 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 InstallingYour Insert
1. Read all instructions before installing and us-
ing your fireplace insert. Install and use only
in accordance with manufacturer’s installation
and operating instructions.
2. Check your local building codes - Building In-
spection 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 ma-
jor cause of safety hazard. Check all local
buildingand safetycodesbeforeinstallation
of unit.
3. Notify your home insurance company that you
plan to install a fireplace insert.
4. Your fireplace 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 fireplace damper control will
become inaccessible once you have installed
your Regency Insert, you should either remove
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 damage. If repairs are required, they should
be completed before installing your insert. Do
not remove bricks or mortar from your masonry
fireplace.
7. Do not connect the insert to a chimney flue
servicing another appliance or an air distribution
duct.
When referencing installation or connection to
masonry fireplaces or chimneys, the masonry
construction must or shall be code complying.
In Canada this fireplace insert must be in-
stalledwithacontinuouschimneylinerof5.5"
(140mm) or 6" (152mm) diameter extending
from the fireplace insert to the top of the
chimney.The chimney liner must conform to
theClass3requirements of CAN/ULC-S635 or
CAN/ULC-S640,StandardforLiningSystems
for New Masonry Chimneys.
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance
up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your
chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local
geography, nearby obstructions and other factors.
Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures
in the appliance and may cause damage. An uncon-
trollable burn or excessive temperature indicates
excessive draft. Inadequate draft may cause back
puffing into the room and plugging of the chimney.
Inadequate draft will cause the appliance to leak
smoke into the room through appliance and chim-
ney connector joints. Ensure the heater is installed
in areas that are not too close to neighbors or in
valleys that would cause unhealthy air quality or
nuisance conditions.
Optional Flue
Connector Kit
The Straight Flue Adaptor (Part #846-504) shown
here, may be used to produce a secure connection
between your flue connector and the insert collar.
Detailed installation instructions are included with
the kit.
The following may also be purchased separately
if required to complete the install:
846-506 6" Flue Adaptor-30 degree
846-508 6" Flue Adaptor-45 degree
948-412/P 6" Flue Offset Adaptor (offsets back 4")
846-527 Flue Connector Kit
In the U.S.A., a 5.5 inch (140 mm) or 6 inch
(152 mm) diameter, stainless steel,full height
chimney liner that meets type HT (21000F)
requirements per UL 1777 must be installed.
The full liner must be attached to the insert
flue collar and to the top of the existing ma-
sonry chimney.

I1150 Regency Wood Insert | 9
installation
WARNING: This fireplace may have been altered
to accommodate an insert. It must be returned
to its original condition before use as a solid fuel
burning fireplace.
1. When installed in a factory built fireplace, a
full stainless steel rigid or flexible flue liner is
mandatory, for both safety and performance
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.
2. In order to position the flue liner, the existing
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.
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 possible offset. If
an offset is required, use the appropriate offset
adaptor in your installation.
Installation Into a Factory
Built Fireplace
Regency inserts are constructed with the highest
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 thoroughly
and fully understand the installation and operating
procedures. Failure to follow instructions 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.
Draft
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance
up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your
chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local
geography, nearby obstructions and other factors.
Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures
in the appliance and may cause damage. An uncon-
trollable burn or excessive temperature indicates
excessive draft. Inadequate draft may cause back
puffing into the room and plugging of the chimney.
Inadequate draft will cause the appliance to leak
smoke into the room through appliance and chim-
ney connector joints. Ensure the heater is installed
in areas that are not too close to neighbors or in
valleys that would cause unhealthy air quality or
nuisance conditions.
Requirements for Installing Solid-fuel
Inserts in Factory-built Fireplaces
1. A permit may be required for installations, final
approval is contingent of the authority having
local jurisdiction. Consult insurance carrier,
local building, fire officials or authorities ha-
ving jurisdiction about restrictions, installation
inspection, and permits.
2. Inspect the existing fireplace and chimney for
any damage or flaws such as burnouts, metal
or refectory warping.
3. Inspection to a minimum of NFPA 211 Level
II is recommended. All repairs must be made
prior to installing an insert. The fireplace must
be structurally sound and be able to support
the weight of the solid-fuel insert.
4. The factory-built chimney must be listed per UL
127 or ULC 610-M87 for all installations. Install
thermal protection as per this appliance listing
requirements.
5. A full height 5.5 inch (140 mm) or 6 inch (152
mm) diameter stainless steel full height listed
chimney liner must be installed meeting type
HT (2100oF) requirements per UL 1777 (USA)
or ULC S635 with ''0'' clearance to masonry
(Canada). The full liner must be attached to the
insert flue collar and to the top of the existing
chimney.
6. The flue liner top support attachment must not
reduce the air flow for the existing air-cooled
chimney system. Reinstall original factory-built
chimney cap only.
7. To prevent room air passage to the chimney
cavity of the fireplace, seal either the damper
area around the chimney liner or the insert
surround. Circulating air chamber (i.e. in a steel
fireplace liner or metal hearth circulatory) may
not be blocked. The air flow within and around
the fireplace shall not be altered, blocked by
the installation of the insert (i.e. not louvers or
cooling air inlet or outlet ports may be blocked
by the insert or the insert surround).
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
label to the inside of the firebox of the fireplace
into which the insert is installed.
WARNING
Fire Risk.
When lining air-cooled factory-built
chimneys:
- Run chimney liner approved to
UL 1777 Type HT requirements
(2100oF)
- Reinstall original factory-built chim-
ney cap ONLY
- DO NOT block cooling air openings
in chimney
- Blocking cooling air will overheat
the chimney
Altering the Fireplace
The following modifications of factory-built fireplaces
are permissible:
The following parts may be removed:
Damper Smoke Shelf or Baffle
Ember Catches Fire Grate
Viewing Screen/
Curtain Doors
- The fireplace must be altered. Cutting any sheet
metal parts of the fireplace in which the fireplace
insert is to be installed is prohibited, except that the
damper may be removed to accomodate a direct-
connect starter pipe or chimney liner.
- External trim pieces which do not affect the op-
eration of the fireplace may be removed providing
they can be stored on or within the fireplace for
reassembly if the insert is removed.
- The permanent metal warning label provided in
the component pack must be attached to the back
of the fireplace, with screws or nails, stating that the
fireplace may have been altered to accomodate the
insert, and must be returned to original condition
for use as a conventional fireplace.
- If the hearth extension is lower than the fireplace
opening, the portion of the insert extending onto
the hearth must be supported.
- Manufacturer designed adjustable support kit can
be ordered from your dealer.
- Final approval of this installation type is contingent
upon the authority having jurisdiction.

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)
flue adaptor that is best suited for the specific
installation.
List of Tools needed;
- Pull Rod (included with insert)
- 1/2” socket / ratchet
- 3/8 open face wrench
1. Install flex liner into existing chimney as
per liner manufacturer’s specifications. See
Diagram 1.
2. Install the required flue adaptor onto the end
of the flex liner. Secure the adaptor using
3 screws - 1 on the front, left and right side
as shown in Diagram 2.
Alignment of the flue adaptor can be critical
during the install, it is recommended that the
flex 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 first setting the rear of the
unit into the fireplace. See Diagram 3. En-
sure that the unit is centered in the existing
fireplace and lined up with the flue adaptor.
4. Slide the unit back until the flue 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 fireplace. This will keep
the adaptor from binding as the unit is slid
into position.
6. Insert the provided pull rod through the
