Note:  A clean-out door is sometimes 

required, by your inspector, to be 

installed when either the Positive flue 

connection or Direct flue connection 

method is used.  

The use of one of the connection methods listed 

on this page not only increases the safety of your 

insert by directing the hot gases up the flue, but 

will also help increase the unit's efficiency and 

decrease creosote deposits in the chimney.

When a connected flue or liner is in use, the 

insert is able to “breathe” better by allowing a 

greater draft to be created.  The greater draft can 

decrease problems such as, difficult start-ups, 

smoking out the door, and dirty glass.

INSTALLATION INTO A 

FACTORY BUILT  

FIREPLACE

1)

  When installed in a factory built fireplace, a 

full stainless steel rigid or flexible flue liner 

is mandatory, for both safety and perform-

ance purposes.  When a flue or liner is in 

use, the insert is able to breathe better by 

allowing a greater draft to be created.  The 

greater draft can decrease problems such 

as, difficult start-ups, smoking out the door, 

and dirty glass.  

2)

  In order to position the flue liner, the exist

-

ing rain cap must be removed from your 

chimney  system.  In  most  cases  the  flue 

damper should also be removed to allow 

passage of the liner.

3)

  In most cases opening the existing spark 

screens fully should give enough room for 

the insert installation. If it does not, remove 

and store.

When referencing installation or connec-

tion  to  masonry  fireplaces  or  chimneys,  the 

masonry construction must or shall be code 

complying.

INSTALLATION INTO A 

MASONRY FIREPLACE

The insert must be installed as per the require-

ments of your local inspection authority.  Three 

methods of flue connection are acceptable in 

most areas, these include:

1)

  Positive  flue  connection,  where  a  large 

blocking plate and a short connector pipe 

is used.

2)

  Direct  flue  connection,  where  a  smaller 

blocking plate and a connector pipe to the 

first flue liner tile is used.

3)

  Full flue liner, where a stainless steel rigid 

or flexible liner pipe is routed from the insert 

outlet collar to the top of the chimney.

Regency highly recommends the use of a full 

liner as the safest installation and provides the 

most optimum performance.  Your retailer should 

be able to help you decide which system would 

be the best for your application.

In Canada this fireplace insert must be 

installed with a continuous chimney liner 

of 5.5" (140mm) or 6" (152mm) 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, Stand-

ard for Lining Systems for New Masonry 

Chimneys.

4)

  If  the  floor  of  your  fireplace  is  below  the 

level  of  the  fireplace  opening,  adjust  the 

insert's levelling bolts to accommodate the 

difference.  When  additional  shimming  is 

required, use non-combustible masonry or 

steel shims.

5) 

Measure approximately the alignment of the 

flue liner with the position of the smoke outlet 

hole on the insert to check for possible offset. 

If an offset is required, use the appropriate 

offset adaptor in your installation.

6)

  Once the above items have been checked, 

slide your insert into position after first po

-

sitioning and securing the flue liner to the 

offset adaptor. 

Attach the rod to the adaptor and slide the 

adaptor onto the unit as the unit is slid into 

position. Ensure a positive connection.

Secure the adaptor to the unit by using 2 

bolts, flat washers, lock washers and one 

screw in the front.

Re-install raincap at completion of installa-

tion.
