READ BEFORE YOU INSTALL
THE REGENCY HIGH
EFFICIENCY EPA CERTIFIED
FIREPLACE
This installation manual will enable you to make
a safe, effi cient and dependable installation of
your fi replace and chimney system. Please
read and understand these instructions before
beginning your installation.
Do not alter or modify the fi replace or its
components under any circumstances. Any
modifi cation or alteration of the fi replace system,
including but not limited to the fi replace, chimney
components and accessories, may void the
warranty, listing and approvals of this system
and could result in an unsafe and potentially
dangerous installation.
INSTALLATION
PLEASE RETAIN THIS MANUAL FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE.
IMPORTANT: Please read and follow these
rules for safety.
1) Before starting your fi replace installation,
read these installation instructions carefully
to be sure you understand them in their
entirety. Failure to follow them could cause
a fi replace malfunction resulting in serious
injury and/or property damage.
2) Always check with your local building
department, fire department and local
authorities prior to installation to determine
the need to obtain a permit.
3) This model fi replace must be installed with
one of the chimney systems listed in the
Chimney Section in this manual. These
systems are intended for use as a residential
type appliance. The chimney must always
vent to the outside of the building.
4) WARNING: THIS FIREPLACE HAS NOT
BEEN TESTED WITH AN UNVENTED
GAS LOG SET. TO REDUCE RISK OF
FIRE OR INJURY, DO NOT INSTALL AN
UNVENTED GAS LOG SET INTO THE
FIREPLACE.
5) To ensure a safe fi replace system and to
prevent the build-up of soot and creosote,
inspect and clean the fi replace and chimney
prior to use and periodically during the
heating season.
6) Use solid fuel only. DO NOT use artifi cial logs
containing petroleum products, chemical
chimney cleaners, gas logs, gas lighters,
salt contaminated wood or fl ame colorants
in your fi replace. When using compressed
sawdust logs use only at 1/3 capacity since
these get very hot and expand.
7) DO NOT use charcoal or coal under any
circumstances.
8) NEVER use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern
fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fl uid, or any
liquid to start or “freshen up” a fi re in this
fi replace. Keep any fl ammable liquid a safe
distance from the fi replace.
9) Ashes should be placed in a metal
container with a tight-fi tting lid. The closed
container of ashes should be placed on a
non-combustible fl oor or on the ground,
well away from all combustible materials,
pending fi nal disposal. If the ashes are
disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise
locally dispersed, they should be retained
in the closed container until all cinders have
thoroughly cooled.
10) WARNING: Only operate fi replace with
doors fully open when optional fi re screen
is used.
11) NEVER leave children unattended when
there is a fi re burning in the fi replace.
12) Allow the fi replace to cool before servicing.
Always shut-off any electricity to the fi replace
while working on it. This will prevent any
possible electrical shock.
13) Regency is not responsible for any
smoking or related problems that
may result from the lack of adequate
combustion air. It is the responsibility
of the installer to ensure that adequate
combustion air has been provided for
the fi replace.
Emissions from burning wood or gas
could contain chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
14) FPI Fireplace Products International Ltd.
does not warranty “smoke-free” operation
nor are we responsible for inadequate
system draft caused by mechanical systems,
general construction conditions, inadequate
chimney heights, adverse wind conditions
and/or unusual environmental factors or
conditions beyond our control.
15) IMPORTANT: Check with your local building
department as to the requirements of sealing
any penetrations to the exterior. This will
ensure that the integrity of the building is
intact.
16) DO NOT use a fi replace insert or any other
product not specifi ed by Regency for use
with this fi replace.
17) NEVER, under any circumstances, install
a fi replace, chimney component or any
accessories, supplied by Regency, that have
visible or suspected physical damage as a
result of handling or transportation. These
items should be inspected by a Regency
dealer or qualifi ed factory representative
to ensure safe condition. When in doubt,
consult your Regency dealer.
18) It is recommended that power is supplied
to the terminal block of the unit to allow for
the installation of blower components now
or at a future date.

CLEARANCES AND HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS
The FP90 may be placed on or near construction
materials. The combustion air kit, fi re stop spacer
and roof fl ashings (not chase fl ashings) may be
placed directly on or against normal construction
materials. The chimney requires a minimum 2"
(51mm) clearance. A combustible mantle (to a
depth of 10", 254mm) may be installed no closer
than 18" (457mm) above the warm air vent or
55-1/2" (1410mm) from bottom of unit.
The chimney must be enclosed when installed
in or passing through a living area where
combustible material or people may come in
contact with it. This is important to prevent
possible personal injury or fi re hazard.
For any further information, please call your
INSTALLATION
dealer. Special restrictions apply to the front and
facing of the fi replace and nearby walls.
WARNING: If insulation is used, do not place
the unit against it. Insulation or vapor barriers, if
used, must be secured to assure insulation and
vapor barriers remain in place and do not affect
the required air spaces.
No Combustibles on Face of Unit.
Combustibles May Not Extend to
Unit Face.
Do not notch wallboard around
standoffs.
WARNING: Do not pack or fi ll required air spaces
with insulation or other material. No material of
any kind is allowed in these areas.
NOTES:
1) Do not insulate the chase cavity with blown
or fi ll type insulation materials.
2) Local codes may not require fi restopping
at the ceiling level for outside chase
installations; however, it is recommended
for safety and the reduction of heat loss.
3) We recommend that you insulate at least the
fi rst fl oor of the chase to prevent heat loss.
4) Some local codes require 1 hour fi re rating
on one or all sides of fi re chases. Check with
your local authorities.

ENCLOSURE FRAMING
As per the diagram, the framing of the main
enclosure should not infringe on the area above
the fi replace to the ceiling level. The rear and
side walls as well as the face above the fi replace
must not extend into the area above the unit.
The only structure allowed above the unit is on
the stand-offs at the front of the unit supporting
the header.
The enclosure walls can be framed using any
suitable material (2x4 - 2x6 studs, plywood,
gyproc, etc.), Normally, framing will be set
back to allow Non-Combustible Material to
be fl ush with the front of the fi replace.
50-3/4"
44"
(1118mm)
Framing Specifi cations
(1289mm)
There is framing only on the front of the unit.
When framing in the header (directly above
the fi replace) DO NOT bring any combustible
material lower than the top of the stand-offs.
Framing header may be positioned on end
directly on top of the front fi replace stand-offs.
Be sure to seal the space between the fi replace
and the enclosure above and on either side of
the unit with Wonderboard, Durock or other
similar non-combustible sheeting to prevent hot
air from entering the enclosure.
CAUTION: ONLY NONCOMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL
LIKE EXPANDED METAL OR
CONCRETE BOARDS SUCH AS
WONDERBOARD AND DUROCK,
ETC. MAY BE USED IN THE
SPACE BETWEEN THE UNIT AND
THE FRAMING IN FRONT OF THE
UNIT ONLY.
Note: If the fi replace is being cantilevered
through an outside wall, the entire
enclosure (floor, wall and false
ceiling) up to the fi rst ceiling level
must be completely insulated and
vapor sealed and sheathed, to avoid
transfer of cold air through the
fi replace when not in use.

HEARTH EXTENSION
NOTE: Hearth must have 1/2" (13mm) Millboard
under fi nish material with minimum "k" factor
of 20.07. When unit is raised 4" (102mm), the
thermal fl oor protection is not required. If you
plan to raise the fi replace and hearth extension,
build the platform assembly then position
fi replace and hearth extension on top. If you
are not raising the unit, check that you will have
suffi cient clearance under the bottom louver
for your fi nishing material on top of the hearth
extension, i.e. tiles, concrete board, etc.
1) Insert the metal safety strip, packaged
with the fi replace beneath the fi replace as
illustrated in Diagram 1 below. The safety
strip should be tacked down to prevent
possible shifting and should overlap for
continual coverage of the fl oor.
Note: A safety strip is not required when the
fi replace rests on a non-combustible
surface.
Note: Install the hearth extension only as
illustrated.
The safety strip should extend 2 in. (51 mm)
in front and on the sides of the fi replace.
In the event a wooden support is used to
elevate the fi replace above the fl oor, a “Z”
type safety strip should be fabricated from
20 gauge galvanized sheet steel and used
to protect the front surface of the wood
support as well as the fl oor beneath the
hearth extension.
Note: The “Z” type safety strip is not
supplied by Regency and must be
fabricated locally.

How To Determine
If Alternate Floor
Protection Materials Are
Acceptable
The specifi ed fl oor protector should be 1/2”
(13mm) thick material with a k-factor of 20.07.
The proposed alternative is 4” (102mm) 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.
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 specifi ed R of 0.893.
Since proposed system R is
greater than required, the system
is acceptable.

CHIMNEY SYSTEM
CONSIDERATIONS
Regency’s FP90 Fireplace is to be installed
with one of the following Chimney Systems
only. Chimney systems only 7" (178mm) or 8"
(203mm) diameter are to be used.
In Canada
Any of the following ULCS 629 listed chimney
systems may be used:
1) CF Sentinal
2) SuperPro 2100+
3) SuperVent 2100+
4) Security S-2100+
5) Oliver Macleod HT6000+
6) Dura Plus HTC
7) ICC Excel 2100
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.
Chimney Height
The total height of your chimney system from the
top of the fi replace 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.
Chase Enclosure
Note: Insulation does not come in contact
with Chimney. Maintain a 2" (51mm)
A chase is a vertical box-like structure
clearance.
constructed to surround the fi replace and
chimney. A ventilated chase cap is highly
recommended. Refer to fl ue manufacturer's
instructions for reduced fl ue heights above chase
terminations. As with all chimney installations,
avoid overhead obstructions such as trees,
power lines, etc.
A chase should be constructed just like any outside 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.
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.
