INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION INTO A MASONRY FIREPLACE

When referencing installation or connec- tion to masonry fi replaces or chimneys, the masonry construction must or shall be code complying.

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, these include:

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 mostoptimumperformance. Your retailer should be able to help you decide which system would be the best for your application.

(No Cleanout

Required)

In Canada this fireplace insert must be installed with a continuous chimney liner of 6" diameter extending from the fire- place 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, Standard for Lining Systems for New Masonry Chimneys.

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 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 start-ups, smoking out the door, and dirty glass.

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 start-ups, smoking out the door, 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.

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 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 fi rst po- sitioning and securing the fl ue 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, fl at washers, lock washers and one screw in the front.

Re-install raincap at completion of installa- tion.
