CHIMNEY SYSTEM
CONSIDERATIONS
Regency's FP90 Fireplace is to be installed with
one of the following Chimney Systems only.
Chimney systems only 8" (203mm) diameter
are to be used.
In U.S.A.
Any of the following air-cooled chimney systems
may be used:
1) Majestic SK8
2) Security FTF8
3) Superior TF8
4) Simpson DuraVent Dura-Plus
5) Metal Fab
Note: Fireplace Adaptor must be purchased
with Fireplace when using air cooled. When
using DuraPlus, purchase adapter with
Chimney System from Chimney Supplier.
The use of only one of these systems is permitted
when installing the fireplace. Do not alter or mix
parts from other systems as this may cause a
potential hazard and void Regency's limited
warranty.
Chimney Height
The total height of your chimney system from the
top of the fireplace to the chimney cap must not
exceed 40'(12m), and must also meet minimum
system height requirements. Please refer to
the flue manufacturer's instructions for specific
details. Refer to Minimum Recommended Flue
Height section.
Ventilated Chase Pan
12 | FP90 Wood Fireplace
Chase Enclosure
This unit requires the chase to be ventilated
with one 30 sq. inch vent. Refer to Installation
Measurements section.
A chase is a vertical box-like structure constructed
to surround the fireplace and chimney.
ventilated chase cap is highly recommended.
Refer to flue manufacturer's instructions for
reduced flue heights above chase terminations.
As with all chimney installations, avoid overhead
obstructions such as trees, power lines, etc.
A chase should be constructed just like any
outside wall, insulated and vapor barriered.
Please check with local building authorities. In
a cold climate, we recommend the base of the
chase be insulated between the solid continuous
floor beneath the fireplace and the chase bottom.
If used, the value and amount of chase insulation
in a cold climate installation is optional and not
required for safety. Insulation is recommended
to avoid heat loss.

BEFORE YOU START

Check your inventory list to be sure you have all the necessary parts supplied in good usable
condition. Check for any concealed damage. Check the operation of the combustion air damper.
When the damper is in the fully closed position, the damper handle should be to the left. When
damper is in the fully open position, the damper handle must be in the right position.
