Regency Inserts are constructed with the highest
quality materials and assembled under strict quality
control procedures that ensure years of trouble free
and reliable performance.
It is important that you read this manual thoroughly
and fully understand the installation and operating
procedures. Failure to follow instructions may result
in property damage, bodily injury or even death. The
more you understand the way your Regency Insert
operates, the more enjoyment you will experience
from knowing that your unit is operating at peak
performance.
Before Installing Your Insert
1. Read all instructions before installing and us-
ing your fireplace insert. Install and use only
in accordance with manufacturer's installation
and operating instructions.
2. Check your local building codes - Building In-
spection 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 ma-
jor 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.
4. Your fireplace insert is heavy and requires two
or more people to move it safely. The insert and
surrounding structure 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 flue
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 fireplace
that is constructed in accordance with the require-
ments of "The Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces,
Vents, and Solid Fuel Burning Appliance", N.F.P.A.
211, the National Building Code of Canada, or the
applicable local code requirements.
The appliance, when installed, must be electrically
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.
This insert must be connected to a code-approved
masonry chimney or listed factory-built fireplace
chimney with a direct flue connector into the first
chimney liner section. The chimney size should
not be less than or more than three times greater
than the cross-sectional area of the flue collar.
Requirements for Installing
Solid-fuel Inserts in Factory-built
Fireplaces.
1. The insert must be tested and meet the require-
ments 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.
5. Means must be provided to prevent room air
passage to the chimney cavity of the fireplace.
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 op-
eration of the fireplace may be removed pro-
viding they can be stored on or within the fire-
place for re-assembly if the insert is removed.
b. the chimney damper may be removed to
install the chimney liner.
7. Circulating air chambers (i.e. in a steel fire-
place liner or metal heat circulator) shall not
be blocked.
8. Means must be provided for removal of the
insert to clean the chimney flue.
9. Inserts that project in front of the fireplace must
be supplied with appropriate supporting means.
