Regency CI1200 / CI1250 Wood Cast Insert

INSTALLATION

Regency Inserts are constructed with the highest
quality materials and assembled under strict quality
control procedures that ensure years of trouble free
and reliable performance.

It is important that you read this manual thoroughly
and fully understand the installation and operating
procedures. Failure to follow instructions may result
in property damage, bodily injury or even death. The
more you understand the way your Regency Insert
operates, the more enjoyment you will experience
from knowing that your unit is operating at peak
performance.

BEFORE INSTALLING

YOUR INSERT

Note: The CI1200 does not include a blower and

one cannot be added to this appliance. If a blower
is required, you must purchase the CI1250 which
comes with a standard blower. The CI1250 has
an increased height to accommodate the blower.

1) Read all instructions before installing and us­ing your fi replace insert. Install and use only
in accordance with manufacturer’s installation
and operating instructions.

2) Check your local building codes - Building
Inspection Department. You may require
a permit before installing your insert. Be
aware that local codes and regulations may
override some items in the manual.

WARNING: Careless installation is the ma-

jor cause of safety hazard. Check all local
building and safety codes before installation
of unit.

3) Notify your home insurance company that you

plan to install a fi replace insert.

4) Your fi replace insert is heavy and requires two
or more people to move it safely. The insert and
surrounding structure can be badly damaged
by mishandling.

5) If your existing fi replace damper control will
become inaccessible once you have installed
your Regency Insert, you should either remove
or secure it in the open position.

6) Inspect your fi replace and chimney prior to
installing your insert to determine that it is free
from cracks, loose mortar or other signs of
damage. If repairs are required, they should
be completed before installing your insert. Do
not remove bricks or mortar from your masonry
fi replace.

CHIMNEY

SPECIFICATIONS

Before installing, check and clean your chimney
system thoroughly. If in doubt about its condition,
seek professional advice. Your Regency Insert is
designed for installation into a masonry fi replace
that is constructed in accordance with the require­ments of "The Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces,
Vents, and Solid Fuel Burning Appliance", N.F .P.A.
211, the National Building Code of Canada, or the
applicable local code requirements.

The appliance, when installed, must be electrically
grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical
code, CSA C22.1.

Regency Inserts are designed to use either a 5.5"
or 6" (152mm) fl ue.

This insert must be connected to a code-approved
masonry chimney or listed factory-built fi replace
chimney with a direct fl ue connector into the fi rst
chimney liner section.

Requirements for Installing

Solid-fuel Inserts in Factory-built

Fireplaces.

1) The insert must be tested and meet the require-

ments of UL 1482 (U.S.) and or ULC S628
(Canada) when tested in a masonry fi replace
built per ULC S628.

2) The factory-built fi replace must be listed per
UL 127 or ULC S610.

3) Clearances obtained from the masonry fi replace
tests are also relevant for installation in factory­built fi replaces.

4) Installation must include a full height listed
chimney liner type HT requirements (2100
degree F.) per UL 1777 (U.S.) or ULC S635
(Canada). The liner must be securely attached
to the insert fl ue collar and the chimney top.

5) Means must be provided to prevent room air
passage to the chimney cavity of the fi replace.
This may be accomplished by sealing the
damper area around the chimney liner, or
sealing the fi replace front.

6) Alteration of the fi replace in any manner is not
permitted with the following exceptions;

a. external trim pieces which do not affect the

operation of the fi replace may be removed
providing they can be stored on or within
the fi replace for re-assembly if the insert is
removed.

b. the chimney damper may be removed to

install the chimney liner.

7) Circulating air chambers (i.e. in a steel fi re-
place liner or metal heat circulator) shall not
be blocked.

8) Means must be provided for removal of the
insert to clean the chimney fl ue.

9) Inserts that project in front of the fi replace must
be supplied with appropriate supporting means.

10) Installer must mechanically attach the supplied
label to the inside of the fi rebox of the fi replace
into which the insert is installed.

"WARNING: This fireplace has been
converted for use with a wood insert only and
cannot be used for burning wood or solid fuels
unless all original parts have been replaced,
and the fi replace re-approved by the authority
having jurisdiction."

FIREPLACE

SPECIFICATIONS

Your fi replace opening requires the following
minimum sizes:

CI1200

Height: 19-5/8" (499mm)
Width: 25" (635mm)
Depth:

(w/ standard fl ue adaptor) 15-1/16" (383mm)

Depth:

(w/ standard fl ue adaptor) 15-1/16" (383mm)
(w/ offset fl ue adaptor) 17-11/16" (449mm)

7) Do not connect the insert to a chimney fl ue
servicing another appliance or an air distribution
duct.

Emissions from burning wood or gas could
contain chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm.

Floor Protection

Please check to ensure that your fl oor protection
and hearth will meet the standards for clearance to
combustibles. Y our hearth extension must be made
from a non-combustible material.

Thermal fl oor protection is not required if the unit is
raised 3.5" minimum (measured from the bottom of
the stove). However, standard ember fl oor protec-
tion is required. It will need to be non-combustible
material that covers 16" (406mm) in the US and
18" (450mm) in Canada to the front of the unit
and 8" (200mm)in Canada, 6" (152mm)in the US
to the sides.

If the unit is not raised, thermal fl oor protection
required is R value of 1.1 or greater.

HOW TO DETERMINE IF ALTERNATE

FLOOR PROTECTION MATERIALS ARE ACCEPTABLE

The specifi ed fl oor protector should be 3/8" (18mm)
thick material with a K - factor of 0.84.

The proposed alternative is 4" (100mm) brick with
a C-factor of 1.25 over 1/8" (3mm) mineral board
with a K-factor of 0.29.

Step (a):

Use formula above to convert specifi cation to

R-value.

R = 1/k x T = 1/0.84 x .75 = 0.893.

Clearance diagram for installations

Step (b):

Calculate R of proposed system.
4" brick of C = 1.25, therefore
Rbrick = 1/C = 1/1.25 = 0.80
1/8" mineral board of k = 0.29, therefore

Rmin.bd. = 1/0.29 x 0.125 = 0.431

Total R = Rbrick + Rmineral board =

0.8 + 0.431 = 1.231.

Step (c):

Compare proposed system R of 1.231 to speci-

fi ed R of 0.893. Since proposed system R is
greater than required, the system is acceptable.
