RESIDENTIAL

INSTALLATION

1) Please read this entire manual before you
install and use your new wood heater. Failure
to follow instructions may result in property
damage, bodily injury or even death. Be
aware that local Codes and Regulations may
override some items in this manual. Check
with your local inspector.
2) Select a position for your Regency Heater.
Consult the minimum clearance chart for
your model and set the heater in place. For
close clearance installation use listed double
wall connector systems.
3) To ensure vertical alignment, suspend a
plumb bob from the ceiling over the exact
center of your heater flue and mark a spot
on the ceiling to indicate the center of the
flue.
4) Check that the area above the ceiling is
clear for cutting. Re-confirm the clearance
from the heater to combustibles to ensure
that they are within the prescribed limits.
5) This wood heater must be connected to a
UL 103 HT (ULC S629) listed flue or a code
approved masonry flue with a flue liner.
6) Install flue according to flue manufacturers
instructions. The performance of your wood
heater is governed to a very large part by
the flue system. Too short a flue can cause
difficult start-up, dirty glass, backsmoking
when door is open, and even reduced heat
output. Too tall a flue may prompt excessive
draft which can result in very short burn

MODULAR INSTALLATION OPTIONS

WARNING: ONLY USE SPECIFIED COMPONENTS.
The following items are required when assembling your Regency Stove. F2402 unit - the Rear Heat Deflector is supplied with the stove, but if you choose
not to use it you must use the Airmate instead.
Modular Part
Airmate OR
Rear Heat Deflector
Pedestal or Legs
OPTIONS: These can be installed at time of installation or added later:
Blower/Fan
Ash Drawer Kit
Screen Door
F2400/S2400 Freestanding Woodfire
times and excessive heat output. The use
of an inexpensive flue pipe damper may be
helpful in reducing excessive draft.
CAUTION: The flue should be the same
size as the 6" flue outlet on the heater. The
flue must be listed as suitable for use with
solid fuels. For other types of flues check
with your local building code officials. Do
not confuse a flue with a type "B" Venting
System used for gas appliances as suitable
for a wood burning appliance. For Mobile
Home installations refer to that section on
page 14.
7) Mark the location of the pedestal base or
legs on the floor, then move the heater aside
and mark the position of the floor protector.
8) The floor protector must be of non-combus-
tible material and must extend 16" in front
of the door opening and 6" to the sides and
rear of the unit. Some areas may require
a larger size floor protector. See your local
inspector. For outside air installation refer
to Mobile Home installation instructions on
page 14.
NOTE: In Canada, floor protection must
extend 18" (450mm) to the front
and 8" (200mm) to each side and
back of the heater.
9) When the floor protection is complete, posi-
tion the heater with the flue collar centered
under the installed flue.
10) In seismically active areas, Regency rec-
ommends that your unit is secured to the
floor by using the bolt down holes inside
Clearances are different. Generally you can get closer clearances with the airmate than with the rear heat deflector.
Convection heat with Airmate vs. Radiant Heat with Rear Heat Deflector. The Airmate pushes heat forward out into
the room, the Rear Heat Deflector deflects the heat upward. Refer to the Installation sections within this manual.
There are no performance differences with either the pedestal or legs. It is primarily a personal preference. Legs can
be either painted steel or painted cast.
Leg installation requires the bottom shield.
Adding the blower will increase the area heated by the stove, it can move warm air beyond the room where the
stove is located.
Adding the Ash Drawer Kit makes cleaning ashes out of the stove easier and cleaner (refer to Bottom Shield Ash
Drawer Kit, Installation section).
A simple add-on option that will allow you to enjoy the sound, warmth and view of an open fire.
10) In seismically active areas, Regency rec-
ommends that your unit is secured to the
floor by using the bolt down holes inside
the pedestal (the same ones used in Mobile
Home installations).
11) For residential installations using 6" (152mm)
"C" Vent (single wall) the flue connector
must be at least 24 gauge steel. Do not use
galvanized pipe. For Mobile Home installa-
tion refer to the Mobile Home installation
instructions on page 14.
12) Do not connect this unit to a flue serving
another appliance.
13) A flue connector cannot pass through an attic
or roof space, closet or similar concealed
space, or a floor, ceiling, wall or partition
of combustible construction. In Canada,
if passage through a wall, or partition of
combustible construction is desired, the
installation shall conform to CAN/CSA-B365,
Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Ap-
pliances and Equipment.
14) Your Regency Wood heater is not to be
connected to any air distribution duct.
Emissions from burning wood or gas
could contain chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
