STEP-BY-STEP
INSTALLATION INTO A
FACTORY BUILT
FIREPLACE
1) When installed in a factory built fi replace, a |
full stainless steel rigid or fl exible fl ue liner |
is mandatory, for both safety and perform- |
ance purposes. When a fl ue 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, diffi cult |
and dirty glass. |
2) In order to position the fl ue liner, the exist- |
ing rain cap must be removed from your |
chimney system. In most cases the fl ue |
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. |
INSTALLATION INTO A MASONRY FIREPLACE
The insert must be installed as per the require- ments of your local inspection authority. Three methods of fl ue connection are acceptable in most areas in the US, however a full flue liner is required in Canada.
1)Positive fl ue connection, where a large blocking plate and a short connector pipe is used.
2)Direct fl ue connection, where a smaller blocking plate and a connector pipe to the fi rst fl ue liner tile is used.
3)Full fl ue liner, where a stainless steel rigid or fl exible 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.

(No Cleanout Required)
Note: A
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 fl ue, but will also help increase the unit's effi ciency and decrease creosote deposits in the chimney.
When a connected fl ue 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, diffi cult
4) If the fl oor of your fi replace is below the |
level of the fi replace opening, adjust the |
insert's levelling bolts to accommodate the |
difference. When additional shimming is |
required, use |
steel shims. |
5) Measure approximately the alignment of |
the fl ue liner with the position of the smoke |
outlet hole on the insert to check for pos- |
sible offset. If an offset is required, use a |
proper stainless steel unit available with the |
chimney liner. |
6) Once the above items have been checked, |
slide your insert into position after fi rst po- |
sitioning the fl ue liner and offset if required. |
