OPTIONAL FLUE
CONNECTOR KIT
The optional Flue Connector Kit (Part # 846-527)
and the Straight Flue Adaptor (Part #846-504)
shown here, may be used to produce a secure
connection between your flue connector and the
insert collar. Detailed installation instructions are
included with the kit.
LEG OPTION ON H2104
HEARTH HEATER
The addition of legs to the Hearth Heater does
not alter its certification, it does not become a
freestanding woodstove. The H2104 can only
be installed as a Hearth Heater i.e. vented into
a masonry or factory built fireplace.
The instructions below
apply to the cast legs.
It will be easier to at-
tach the legs to the
stove if it is tipped on its
back (preferably on a
soft surface to prevent
scratching).
1) Thread the bolt and washer through the
leg, and then into the nutsert in the base
of the stove and tighten.
2) Level the stove by adjusting the levelling
bolts in the bottom of each leg.
NOTE: Adding the legs changes the height of
the unit, make sure you have sufficient clearance
(min. 28") for your flue connection.

INSTALLATION INTO A
MASONRY FIREPLACE
When referencing installation or connec-
tion to masonry fireplaces or chimneys, the
masonry construction must or shall be code
complying.
The insert must be installed as per the require-
ments of your local inspection authority. Three
methods of flue connection are acceptable in
most areas, these include:
1) Positive flue connection, where a large
blocking plate and a short connector pipe
is used.
2) Direct flue connection, where a smaller
blocking plate and a connector pipe to the
first flue liner tile is used.
3) Full flue liner, where a stainless steel rigid
or flexible liner pipe is routed from the insert
outlet collar to the top of the chimney.
Regency highly recommends the use of a full
liner as the safest installation and provides the
most optimum performance. Your retailer should
be able to help you decide which system would
be the best for your application.

In Canada this fireplace insert must be
installed with a continuous chimney liner
of 5.5" (140mm) or 6" (152mm) 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-S640, Standard for Lining Sys-
tems for New Masonry Chimneys.
FLUE CONNECTOR
BRACKET
Package contains: 3 brackets and 6 screws.
These brackets are to be used to hold the flue
liner (not supplied) to the Insert and keep the
connection. The brackets are screwed into the
top of the Insert in the pre-punched holes and
then screwed into the flue liner.
Note: A clean-out door is sometimes
required, by your inspector, to be
installed when either the Positive flue
connection or Direct flue connection
method is used.
The use of one of the connection methods listed
on this page not only increases the safety of your
insert by directing the hot gases up the flue, but
will also help increase the unit's efficiency and
decrease creosote deposits in the chimney.
When a connected flue or liner is in use, the
insert is able to "breathe" better by allowing a
greater draft to be created. The greater draft can
decrease problems such as, difficult start-ups,
smoking out the door, and dirty glass.

FIREPLACE

mandatory, for both safety and performance
purposes. When a flue or liner is in use, the
insert is able to breathe better by allowing
a greater draft to be created. The greater
draft can decrease problems such as, dif-
ficult start-ups, smoking out the door, and
dirty glass.
2) In order to position the flue liner, the exist-
ing rain cap must be removed from your
chimney system. In most cases the flue
damper should also be removed to allow
passage of the liner.
3) In most cases opening the existing spark
screens fully should give enough room for
the insert installation. If it does not, remove
and store.
6) Once the above items have been checked,
