Once the fuel door is closed, the blower may 

be turned back on.

CHIMNEY  

SPECIFICATIONS

Before installing, check and clean your chimney 

system thoroughly. If in doubt about its condi-

tion, 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 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.

This insert must be connected to a code-ap-

proved 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 

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.

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.

Regency Inserts are constructed with the high-

est 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 thor-

oughly and fully understand the installation and 

operating procedures.  Failure to follow instruc-

tions 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

  Read all instructions before installing and 

using your fireplace insert.  Install and use 

only  in  accordance  with  manufacturer’s 

installation and operating instructions.

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

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.

  Do not connect the insert to a chimney 

flue servicing another appliance or an air 

distribution duct.

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.

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.
