installation
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 fi replace
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 6" (152mm) fl ue.
This fi replace insert must be installed with a continu-
ous chimney liner of 6" diameter extending from the
fi replace insert to the top of the chimney. The chimney
liner must conform to the Class 3 requirements of
CAN/ULC-S635, Standard for Lining Systems for
Existing Masonry or Factory- Built Chimneys and
Vents, or CAN/ULC S640, Standard for Lining Systems
for New Masonry Chimneys,UL1777.
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 fi replace.
2. The factory-built fi replace must be listed per UL
127 or ULC S610.

4. Installation must include a full height listed chim-
ney liner type HT requirements (2100 degree
F.) per UL 1777 (U.S.) or ULC S635, ULCS640
(Canada). The liner must be securely attached
to the insert fl ue collar and the chimney top.
5. Means must be provided to prevent room air pas-
sage to the chimney cavity of the fi replace. This
may be accomplished by sealing the damper
area around the chimney liner, or sealing the
fi replace front.
6. Alteration of the fi replace in any manner is not
permitted with the following exceptions;
a. external trim pieces which do not affect the
operation of the fi replace may be removed
providing they can be stored on or within
the fi replace for re-assembly if the insert is
removed.
b. the chimney damper may be removed to
install the chimney liner.
Regency Inserts are constructed with the highest
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 thoroughly
and fully understand the safe installation and operat-
ing procedures. 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.
7. Circulating air chambers (i.e. in a steel fi replace
liner or metal heat circulator) shall not be blocked.
8. Means must be provided for removal of the insert
to clean the chimney fl ue.
9. Inserts that project in front of the fi replace must
be supplied with appropriate supporting means.
10. Installer must mechanically attach the supplied
metal tag to the inside of the fi rebox of the
fi replace into which the insert is installed.
In order for a solid-fuel insert to be certifi ed for use
in factory-built fi replaces, the above information
must be clearly stated in the installation manual and
appropriate markings. Final approval is contingent
on the authority having jurisdiction.
Emissions from burning wood or gas could con-
tain chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproduc-
tive harm.
"WARNING: This fireplace has been
converted for use with a wood insert only
and cannot be used for burning wood or
solid fuels unless all original parts have been
replaced, and the fi replace re-approved by
the authority having jurisdiction."
