Assembly Steps, Installing STAND-OFFS

INSTALLATION

ASSEMBLY STEPS

Note: The following steps represent the normal sequence of installation. Each installation is unique, however, and might require different steps. Each step is dealt with in detail in the following pages.

1)Install stand-offs and insulation strip to the unit. See Installing the Stand-offs section on this page.

There is also 1" unit base standoffs that are supplied with the unit. These are optional and are to be used to raise the unit. The thickness of the ﬁnished hearth will dictate the height of the stove. Please be careful to ensure that the bottom louver will open when unit is installed with the ﬁ nished hearth.

IMPORTANT: It is absolutely necessary to attach stand-offs to the unit to avoid combustion problems. Serious overheatingofcombustibleframingand possible ﬁre may result if stand-offs are not properly installed.

The ﬁ replace may be installed directly on a combustible ﬂ oor or raised on a platform of an appropriate height. Do not place ﬁ replace on carpeting, vinyl or other soft ﬂ oor coverings. It may, however, be placed on ﬂ at wood, plywood, particle board or other hard surfaces. Be sure the ﬁ replace rests on a solid continuous ﬂ oor or platform for support and to prevent cold air from entering the room from under the ﬁ replace, if against an outside wall.

The ﬁ replace may be positioned and then the framing built around it, or the framing may be constructed and the ﬁ replace positioned into the opening.

2)Complete framing and installation of nailing strips for the FP90.

IMPORTANT: Remove gold accessories such as louvers while installing to avoid marking.

Position ﬁ rebox prior to framing or into prepared framing.

3)Install the Chimney System.

4)Install Outside Combustion Air Kit .

5)Hook-up the Wiring.

6)Install the Blower.

7)Gravity Air Feed Option.

8)Complete ﬁ nish wall material, surround and hearth extension to your individual taste.

9)Position vermiculite liner/bricks and ceramic ﬁ ber insulation in the unit. Attach louvers, glass, doors, handles.

INSTALLING THE

STAND-OFFS

Stand-offs are installed to provide reduced temperatures and proper clearances for the safe installation of your product. They consist of four 3" (76mm) stand-offs on the back, two 3" (76mm) stand-offs on each side and one 8" (203mm) stand-off on the top of the unit.

Attach these stand-offs where indicated in the pre-drilled holes on the unit body.

IMPORTANT: Under no circumstances can the ﬁreplace top or side spacers be removed or modiﬁed. Do not notch the header to be installed closer than the ﬁreplace outside facing spacers.

IMPORTANT:Insulationextendsforward to seal against the back of the ﬁreplace masonry or non-combustible face.

SET THE REGENCY FP90 INTO POSITION

1)Estimate the total weight of the ﬁreplace system and surround materials such as brick, stone, etc., to be installed. Shipping weight is 612 lbs (278kg).

2)Measure the square footage of the ﬂ oor space to be occupied by the system, surrounds and hearth extensions.

3)Note the ﬂ oor construction, i.e. 2 x 10’s, (51 x 250 mm), single or double joists, type and thickness of ﬂ oor boards and consult your local building code to determine if you need additional support.

4)Remove door, ﬁ rebox bricks, louvers etc.

Note: Set aside Gold louvers away from harsh chemicals and away from abrasive materials to avoid damage, e.g. muriatic acid for masonry wash will strip the gold plate. Firebricks are fragile and should be handled with caution.

The minimum ceiling height is 7ft (2m) from the base of the unit. A suitable non-combustible hearth pad is mandatory in all installations. See Framing Details.

INSTALLING THE CHIMNEY SYSTEM

Following are a set of general guidelines for installation of the chimney system. The more detailed installation manual supplied with the speciﬁ c chimney system must be followed.

1)Using standard construction framing techniques, construct the opening for the chimney route up through the ceiling(s) and roof or through an outside chase. Framing must maintain adequate minimum air space clearance at all times.

CAUTION: Allow a minimum 2" (51mm) chimney air space or as specified by the owner's manual for the chimney, to combustible framing members throughout vertical or offset chimney installation.

2)Attach ﬁ replace adaptor/anchor plate to the top of the ﬁreplace. It is important that a tight seal be made with this part and the unit’s collar. This must be purchased with the ﬁ replace.

3)Install ﬁ restop, radiation shield, or attic insulation shield as required at each ﬂ oor penetration. See Table 1 (page 15). Check chimney manufacturer's framing opening sizes to allow for correct clearances. All parts must be listed.

4)The roof ﬂ ashing should be installed making sure that alignment is correct with openings below.

5)Chimney lengths may now be added until the required height is reached. A minimum ﬂ ue height of 12ft. (4m) from the top of the unit is mandatory. Please refer to Table 2 for Flue Heights (page 15).
