INSTALLATION INTO A
MASONRY FIREPLACE
When referencing installation or connec-
tion to masonry fireplaces 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 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.

10 | I1205
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.
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
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) Direct Flue
Connection
2) In order to position the flue liner, the exist-
with Cleanout
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.
FIREPLACE
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.
