Step-By-Step Chimney And Connector Installation - Regency F3500 Owners And Installation Manual

STEP-BY-STEP
CHIMNEY AND
CONNECTOR
INSTALLATION
Note: These are a generic set of chimney
installation instructions. Always follow
the manufacturers own instructions
explicitly. Verify the Minimum Recom-
mended Heights for Woodstove Flue
(Table 1 in the Installation section).
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 sup-
port 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.
NOTE: Ensure each section of chimney is posi-
tively attached and secured.
Note: Increasing the chimney height above
this minimum level will sometimes
help your unit to "breathe" better by
allowing a greater draft to be cre-
ated. 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, seal-
ing the joints with a silicone caulking.
6. Fasten the raincap with spark screens (if
required) to the top of your chimney.
7. For optimum efficiency when installing into
a masonry chimney, size accordingly, i.e.
the 6" (152.4mm) flue dia. is 28.28 sq.in.
(718.31mm).

8. To complete your chimney installation, install
the single wall or double wall connector pipe
from the stove's flue collar to the chimney
support device.
NOTE: When attaching the chimney to the appli-
ance, ensure a minimum of two (2) screws are
used to establish a snug fit.
9. If you are using a horizontal connector, the
chimney connector should be as high as pos-
sible while still maintaining the 18" (457mm)
minimum distance from the horizontal con-
nector to the ceiling.
10. 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.
