Installation into a Masonry
Fireplace
Regency Inserts are constructed with the high-
est quality materials and assembled under strict
quality control procedures that insure years of
trouble free and reliable performance.
It is important that you read this manual thor-
oughly and fully understand the safe instal-
lation and operating procedures. The more
you understand the way your Regency Insert
operates, the more enjoyment you will experi-
ence from knowing that your unit is operating
at peak performance.
Before Installing
Your Insert
1. Please read this entire manual before you
install and use your new wood insert. Failure
to follow instructions may result in property
damage, bodily injury or even death. Install
and use only in accordance with manufac-
turer's installation and operating instructions.
2. Check your local building codes - Building
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 fireplace insert or hearth
heater.
4. Your fireplace insert is heavy and requires
two or more people to move it safely. The
insert 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
system servicing another appliance or
an air distribution duct.
When referencing installation or connec-
tion to masonry fireplaces or chimneys,
the masonry construction must or shall be
code complying.

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 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) flue.
In Canada this fireplace insert must be
installed with a continuous chimney liner
of 5.5" (140 mm) or 6" (152 mm) diameter
extending from the fireplace 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, Standard for
Lining Systems for New Masonry Chimneys.
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 (2100
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.

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.
