Regency
L234-10 Direct Vent Gas Insert
®
If the factory built fireplace* height is too low
for your Insert, you may remove the smoke
baffle plate and damper from the factory built
fireplace as long as these items are saved and
are reinstalled in the event that the Insert is
removed. NOTE: Any alterations made to the
listed solid fuel burning factory built fireplace
may void the listing of the fireplace. Cutting
any sheet-metal parts of the fireplace, in which
the gas fireplace insert is to be installed, is
prohibited.
If the factory-built fireplace has no gas
access hole(s) provided, an access hole of
1.5" (37.5mm) or less may be drilled through
the lower sides or bottom of the firebox in a
proper workmanship like manner. This access
hole must be plugged with non-combustible
insulation after the gas supply line has been
installed.
The fireplace and fireplace chimney must
be clean and in good working order and
constructed of non-combustible materials and
chimney cleanouts must fit properly. Refractory,
glass doors, screen rails, screen mesh, and
log grates can be removed from the fireplace
before installing the gas fireplace insert. Smoke
shelves, shields and baffles may be removed if
attached by mechanical fasteners. A tight seal
between the gas fireplace insert flue collar and
the fireplace chimney must be made to prevent
heat loss.
*Check with your local inspector before commencing
with this installation.
