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.
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 fire-
place that is constructed in accordance with the
requirements of "The Standard for Chimneys,
Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel Burning Ap-
pliance", 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.
A continuous liner is required from the unit to
the cap.
Requirements for Installing
Solid-fuel Inserts in Factory-built
Fireplaces.
1. The insert must be tested and meet the
requirements of UL 1482 (U.S.) and or ULC
S628 (Canada) when tested in a masonry
fireplace built per ULC S628.
2. The factory-built fireplace must be listed per
UL 127 or ULC S610.
3. Clearances obtained from the masonry fire-
place tests are also relevant for installation
in factory-built fireplaces.
4. Installation must include a full height listed
chimney liner type HT requirements (2100
degree F.) per UL 1777 (U.S.) or ULC
S635 (Canada). The liner must be securely
attached to the insert flue collar and the
chimney top, a continuous full liner.
5. Means must be provided to prevent room
air passage to the chimney cavity of the fire-
place. This may be accomplished by sealing
the damper area around the chimney liner,
or sealing the fireplace front.
6. Alteration of the fireplace in any manner is
not permitted with the following exceptions;
a. external trim pieces which do not affect the
operation of the fireplace may be removed
providing they can be stored on or within
the fireplace for re-assembly if the insert is
removed.
b. the chimney damper may be removed to
install the chimney liner.

must be supplied with appropriate supporting
means.

"WARNING: This fireplace has been converted
for use with a wood insert only and cannot be
used for burning wood or solid fuels unless

In order for a solid-fuel insert to be certified for
use in factory-built fireplaces, the above infor-
mation must be clearly stated in the installation
manual and appropriate markings. Final approval
is contingent on the authority having jurisdiction.
