Chase Enclosure

A chase is a vertical box-like structure constructed to surround the fi replace and chimney. A ventilated chase cap is highly recommended. Refer to fl ue manufacturer's instructionsforreducedflueheightsabovechase terminations. As with all chimney installations, avoid overhead obstructions such as trees, power lines, etc.

A chase should be constructed just like any out- side wall, insulated and vapor barriered. Please check with local building authorities. In a cold climate, we recommend the base of the chase be insulated between the solid continuous fl oor beneath the fi replace and the chase bottom. If used, the value and amount of chase insulation in a cold climate installation is optional and not required for safety. Insulation is recommended to avoid heat loss.

Note: Insulation does not come in contact with Chimney. Maintain a 2" (51mm) clearance.

INSTALLATION

Note: 8" (203mm) - 7" (178mm) adapter is mandatory for installation using 7" (178mm) chimney. Anchor plate must be purchased with selected chimney system from Chimney Supplier.

The use of only one of these systems is permitted when installing the fi replace. Do not alter or mix parts from other systems as this may cause a potential hazard and void Regency’s limited warranty.

BEFORE YOU START

Check your inventory list to be sure you have all the necessary parts supplied in good usable condition. Check for any concealed damage. Check the operation of the combustion air damper. When the damper is in the fully closed position, the damper handle should be to the left. When damper is in the fully open position, the damper handle must be in the right position.

Chimney Height

The total height of your chimney system from the top of the fireplace to the chimney cap must not exceed 40'(12m), and must also meet minimum system height requirements. Please refer to the fl ue manufacturer's instructions for specifi c details. Refer to Minimum Recommended Flue Height section.
