Regency F1500 Manual page 7

This stove may be connected to a lined masonry
chimney or a listed factory built chimney suitable
for use with solid fuels and conforming to ULC629
in Canada or UL-103HT in the USA. Do not connect
it to a chimney serving another appliance. To do
so will affect the safe operation of both appliances,
and will void the stove warranty. You must comply
with the local authority having jurisdiction and/or
in Canada, CSA installation standard B365-M87.
The chimney connector must be 6" diameter, 24 MSG
Black/Blue steel. Do not use aluminum or galvanized
steel, they cannot properly withstand the extreme
temperatures of a wood fire. The chimney connector
between the stove and the chimney should be as
short and direct as possible.
The chimney connector must be attached to either
an approved masonry chimney or one of the listed
factory built chimneys suitable for use with solid
wood fuel. All joints must be tight and fastened
with sheet metal screws.

STEP-BY-STEP
CHIMNEY AND
CONNECTOR INSTALLATION
Note: These are a generic set of chimney
installation instructions. Always
follow the manufacturers own
instructions explicitly. Check the
Minimum Recommended Flue
Heights section (Table 1).
1. With your location already established, cut
and frame the roof hole. It is recommended
that no ceiling support member be cut for
chimney and support box installation. If it is
necessary to cut them, the members must
be made structurally sound.
2. Install radiant shield and support from above.
3. Stack the insulated pipe onto your finish
support to a minimum height of 3 feet above
the roof penetration, or 2 feet above any
point within 10 feet measured horizontally.
There must be at least 3 feet of chimney
above the roof level.
A CHIMNEY
BARRIER
AT THE
Note: Increasing the chimney height
above this minimum level will
sometimes help your unit to
"breathe" better by allowing
a greater draft to be created.
This greater draft can decrease
problems such as, difficult start-
ups, back-smoking when door is
open, and dirty glass. It might be
sufficient to initially try with the
minimum required height, and then
if problems do arise add additional
height at a later date.
4. Slide the roof flashing over your chimney
and seal the flashing to the roof with roofing
compound. Secure the flashing to your roof
with nails or screws.
5. Place the storm collar over the flashing,
sealing the joints with a silicone caulking.
6. Fasten the raincap with spark screens (if
required) to the top of your chimney.
7. To complete your chimney installation, install
the double wall connector pipe from the
stove's flue collar to the chimney support
device.
8. If you are using a horizontal connector,
the chimney connector should be as
high as possible while still maintaining
the 18" (457mm) minimum distance
from the horizontal connector to the
ceiling.
9. NOTE: Residential Close Clearance
and Alcove installations require a
listed double wall connector from
the stove collar to the ceiling level.
The diagrams below illustrate one way to
install your unit into a standard ceiling or
with a horizontal connector. Check with
your dealer or installer for information on
other options available to you.
