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 requirements
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
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.
In Canada this fireplace insert must be
installed with a continuous chimney liner
of 5.5" (140 mm) or 6" (152 mm) 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-S635 or CAN/ULC-S640,
Standard for Lining Systems for New
Masonry Chimneys.
In the U.S.A., a 5.5 (140 mm) or 6 inch (152
mm) diameter, stainless steel, full height
chimney liner that meets type HT (2100
requirements per UL 1777 must be installed.
The full liner must be attached to the insert
flue collar and to the top of the existing
masonry chimney.
Draft is the force which moves air from the
appliance up through the chimney. The amount
of draft in your chimney depends on the length of
the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions
and other factors. Too much draft may cause
excessive temperatures in the appliance and
may cause damage. An uncontrollable burn or
excessive temperature indicates excessive draft.
Inadequate draft may cause back puffing into the
room and plugging of the chimney. Inadequate
draft will cause the appliance to leak smoke
into the room through appliance and chimney
connector joints. Ensure the heater is installed
in areas that are not too close to neighbors or in
valleys that would cause unhealthy air quality or
nuisance conditions.
