INSTALLATION
8) NEVER leave children unattended when
there is a fire burning in the fireplace.
9) Allow the fireplace to cool before servicing.
Always shut off any electricity to the fireplace
while working on it. This will prevent any
possible electrical shock.
10) Regency is not responsible for any smok-
ing or related problems that may result
from the lack of adequate combustion
air. It is the responsibility of the installer
to ensure that adequate combustion air
has been provided for the fireplace.
11) Regency Industries Ltd. does not warranty
“smoke free” operation nor are we respon-
sible for inadequate system draft caused by
mechanical systems, general construction
conditions, inadequate chimney heights,
adverse wind conditions and/or unusual
environmental factors or conditions beyond
our control.
12) DO NOT use a fireplace insert or any other
product not specified by Regency for use
with this fireplace.
13) Never, under any circumstances, install a
fireplace, chimney component or any ac-
cessories, supplied by Regency, that have
visible or suspected physical damage as a
result of handling or transportation. These
items should be inspected by a Regency
dealer or qualified factory representative
to ensure safe condition. When in doubt,
consult your Regency dealer.
14) It is recommended that power is supplied
to the terminal block of the unit to allow for
the installation of blower components now
or at a future date.
READ BEFORE YOU INSTALL
THE REGENCY WARMHEARTH
HIGH EFFICIENCY EPA
CERTIFIED FIREPLACE
This installation manual will enable you to make
a safe, efficient and dependable installation of
your fireplace and chimney system. Please
read and understand these instructions before
beginning your installation.
Do not alter or modify the fireplace or its
components under any circumstances. Any
modification or alteration of the fireplace system,
including but not limited to the fireplace, chimney
components and accessories, may void the
warranty, listing and approvals of this system
and could result in an unsafe and potentially
dangerous installation.
PLEASE RETAIN THIS MANUAL FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE.
IMPORTANT: Please read and follow these
rules for safety.
1) Before starting your fireplace installation,
read these installation instructions carefully
to be sure you understand them in their
entirety. Failure to follow them could cause
a fireplace malfunction resulting in serious
injury and/or property damage.
2) Always check your local building codes.
The installation must comply with all local,
regional and state codes and regulations.
3) This model fireplace must be installed with
one of the chimney systems listed in the
Chimney Section in this manual. These
systems are intended for use as a residential
type appliance. The chimney must always
vent to the outside of the building.
4) To ensure a safe fireplace system and to
prevent the build-up of soot and creosote,
inspect and clean the fireplace and chimney
prior to use and periodically during the heat-
ing season.
5) Use solid fuel only. DO NOT use artificial logs
containing petroleum products, chemical
chimney cleaners, gas logs, gas lighters,
salt contaminated wood or flame colorants
in your fireplace. When using compressed
sawdust logs use only at 1/3 capacity since
these get very hot and expand.
6) DO NOT use charcoal or coal under any
circumstances.
7) NEVER use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern
fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or any
liquid to start or “freshen up” a fire in this
fireplace. Keep any flammable liquid a safe
distance from the fireplace.
DIMENSIONS AND
SPECIFICATIONS
The WarmHearth is a woodburning fireplace
featuring a self-contained heat-circulating
system and cast-iron door with large viewing
window. Options available are a Central Heating
System or an Internal Blower. A set of andirons
are installed in the firebox to properly position
the fire, do not remove them.
Note: Illustrations shown reflect “typical”
installations with nominal dimen-
sions and are for design and framing
reference only. Actual installations
may vary due to individual design
preferences. However, always main-
tain minimum clearances to combus-
tible materials and do not violate any
specific installation requirements.
The WarmHearth fireplace has been tested
and listed by Warnock Hersey Inc. to UL. 127
Standard for U.S. installations and ULC. S610
standard for Canadian installations. This unit
is intended for installation in conventional
homes and buildings of conventional con-
struction, not in mobile homes.
This fireplace system is designed for installation
in accordance with the National Fire Protection
Standard for chimneys, fireplaces and solid
fuel burning appliances; NFPA 211 and in ac-
cordance with codes such as the BOCA Basic

requires a minimum 2 in. (50 mm) clearance. A
combustible mantle (to a depth of 10 in.) may be
installed no closer than 18 in. (457 mm) above
the warm air vent.
The chimney must be enclosed when installed
in or passing through a living area where com-
bustible material or people may come in contact
with it. This is important to prevent possible
personal injury or fire hazard.
For any further information, please call your
dealer. Special restrictions apply to the front and
facing of the fireplace and nearby walls.
WARNING: If insulation is used, do not place
the unit against it. Insulation or vapor barriers,
if used, must be secured to assure insulation
and vapor barriers remain in place and do not
affect the required air spaces.
WARNING: Do not pack or fill required air
spaces with insulation or other material. No
material of any kind is allowed in these areas.

fire stop spacer and roof flashings (not chase
flashings) may be placed directly on or against
normal construction materials. The chimney
1) Do not insulate the chase cavity with blown
or fill type insulation materials.
2) Local codes may not require firestopping at
the ceiling level for outside chase installa-
tions; however, it is recommended for safety
and the reduction of heat loss.
3) We recommend that you insulate at least
the first floor of the chase to prevent heat
loss.
4) Some local codes require 1 hour fire rating
on one or all sides of fire chases. Check
with your local authorities.
FIREPLACE
ENCLOSURE FRAMING
As per the diagram, the framing of the main
enclosure should not infringe on the area above
the fireplace to the ceiling level. The rear and
side walls as well as the face above the fireplace
must not extend into the area above the unit.
The only structure allowed above the unit is on
the stand-offs at the front of the unit supporting
the header.
The enclosure walls can be framed using any
suitable material (2 x 4 - 2 x 6 studs, plywood,
gyproc, etc.), 2 x 6 is not acceptable for header.
Normally, framing will be set back to allow
sheathing to be flush with the front of the
fireplace.
When framing in the header (directly above the
fireplace) DO NOT bring any combustible mate-
rial lower than the top of the stand-offs.
Be sure to seal the space between the fireplace
and the enclosure above with Wonderboard, Du-
rock or other similar non-combustible sheeting to
prevent hot air from entering the enclosure.
CAUTION: ONLY NON-COMBUSTI-
BLE MATERIAL LIKE EXPANDED
METAL OR CONCRETE BOARDS
SUCH AS WONDERBOARD AND
DUROCK ETC. MAY BE USED IN
THE SPACE BETWEEN THE UNIT
AND THE FRAMING.

Regency Z2510 WarmHearth8
HEARTH EXTENSION
Note: When the unit is raised 4 inches above
the floor the Regency Hearth Extension (Part#
000-910) is not required. If you plan to raise
the fireplace and hearth extension, build the
platform assembly then position fireplace and
hearth extension on top. If you are not raising
the unit, check that you will have sufficient clear-
ance under the bottom louver for your finishing
material on top of the hearth extension, i.e. tiles,
concrete board, etc.
1) Insert the metal safety strip, packaged with
the fireplace beneath the fireplace as il-
lustrated below. The safety strip should be
tacked down to prevent possible shifting and
should overlap for continual coverage of the
floor.
Note: A safety strip is not required when the
fireplace rests on a non-combustible
surface.
Note: Install the hearth extension only as
illustrated.
The safety strip should extend 2 in. (51 mm)
in front and on the sides of the fireplace.
In the event a wooden support is used to
elevate the fireplace above the floor, a “Z”
type safety strip should be fabricated from
20 gauge galvanized sheet steel and used
to protect the front surface of the wood
INSTALLATION
FRAMING DETAILS
Note: Ducting is tested at 1 in. clearance to framing for the first 6 feet and 1/2 in. thereafter
and no stand-offs are required.
LOCATION OF
FIREPLACE
Carefully select the proper location for heat
circulation, aesthetics, chimney obstructions
and clearance to side wall(s). With proper
pre-planning, a slight adjustment of a few inches
can save considerable time and expense later
during construction and assembly.
Carefully consider the position of the fireplace
opening with respect to the location of adjacent
or nearby stairwells, bath or kitchen exhaust
fans and/or return air registers for forced air
furnaces/air conditioners that could cause a
smoking fireplace condition if the house is
tightly insulated.
Building Structures Cannot
Encroach on Chase
Note: If the fireplace is being cantilevered
through an outside wall, the entire
enclosure (floor, wall and false ceil-
ing) up to the first ceiling level must
be completely insulated and vapor
sealed and sheathed, to avoid transfer
of cold air through the fireplace when
not in use.

support as well as the floor beneath the
hearth extension.
Note: The “Z” type safety strip is not
supplied by Regency and must be
fabricated locally.
2) Refer to fireplace Dimensions and Specifi-
cations section for framing dimensions and
details. The framing header may be posi-
tioned directly on top of the front fireplace
stand-offs.
IMPORTANT: Under no circum-
stances can the fireplace top or side
spacers be removed or modified. Do
not notch the header to be installed
closer than the fireplace outside
facing spacers.
3) Fireplace must be anchored to the framing
to prevent movement or rocking; use wall
grips or seismic brackets which have been
supplied. These angle brackets are installed
by attaching them to the side of the unit and
to the back side of the 2 x 4 or further back
on 2 x 6 framing.
CHIMNEY SYSTEM
CONSIDERATIONS
Regency’s WarmHearth Fireplace is to be
installed with one of the following Chimney
Systems only. Chimney systems going from 7
in. to 8 in. diameter (with adaptor #000-924)
may be used.
Chimney Height
The total height of your WarmHearth fireplace
system from the surface the fireplace rests on
to the chimney top must not exceed 36 ft. and
must also meet minimum system height chart.
Please refer to the Flue Manufacturer's Instruc-
tions for specific details (refer to the Minimum
Flue System Heights section).
Chase Enclosure
A chase is a vertical box-like structure con-
structed to surround the fireplace and chimney.
A ventilated chase cap is highly recommended.
Refer to flue manufacturer's instructions for
reduced flue heights above chase terminations.
ICC and Dura-Vent allow for reduced height with
ventilated chase flashing. As with all chimney
installations, avoid overhead obstructions such
as trees, power lines, etc.
A chase should be constructed just like any
outside wall. In a cold climate, we recommend
the base of the chase be insulated between the
solid continuous floor beneath the fireplace and
the chase bottom. If used, the value and amount
of chase insulation in a cold climate installation
is optional and not required for safety. Insulation
is recommended to avoid heat loss.
Note: Insulation does not come in contact with
Chimney. Maintain a 2 in. clearance.
