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
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 - Build-
ing 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
major 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.
7) Do not connect the insert to a chimney
fl ue servicing another appliance or an air
distribution duct.
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/NFP A 70, or the Canadian
Electrical code, CSA C22.1.
Regency Inserts are designed to use either a
5.5" (140mm) or 6" (152mm) fl ue.
This insert must be connected to a code-ap-
proved masonry chimney or listed factory-built
fi replace chimney with a direct fl ue connector
into the fi rst chimney liner section. The chimney
size should not be less than or more than three
times greater than the cross-sectional area of
the fl ue collar.
Requirements for Installing
Solid-fuel Inserts in Factory-built
Fireplaces.
1) The insert must be tested and meet the
requirements 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 re-
place tests are also relevant for installation
in factory-built 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 replace 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 fi replace 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:
Height: 19" (483mm)
Width: 23" (584mm)
Depth:
(w/ standard fl ue adaptor) 13-3/4" (349mm)
(w/ offset fl ue adaptor) 16-1/2" (419mm)
Two faceplates are available to seal the
fi replace opening:
Standard 38" W x 26" H
Oversize 44" W x 30" H
Emissions from burning wood or gas could
contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm.

INSTALLATION
MASONRY AND FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACE CLEARANCES
The minimum required clearances to combustible materials when installed into a masonry or factory built fi replace are listed below.
Adjacent Mantle** Top Side Minimum Minimum Minimum
Unit Side Wall (to Top) Facing Facing Hearth Hearth Hearth Side
(to Side) (to Top) (to Side) Extension* Thickness* Extension
A B C D E F G
I1200S 15" (381mm) 20" (508mm) 14" (356mm) 7.375"(187mm) 16" (406mm) 1.5" (38mm) 8" (203mm)
Side and Top facing is a maximum of 1.5" thick.
Floor protection must non-combustible, insulative
material with an R value of 1.1 or greater.
* If the hearth extension is fl ush with the fl oor (F)
it must extend 19.5" in front of the body face
(E).
Note: Hearth Extension Width (G) is meas-
ured from edge of fuel door to side of
hearth.
** A non-combustible mantel may be installed
at a lower height if the framing is made of
metal studs covered with a non-combustible
board.
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 protection
is required. It will need to be a non-combustible material that covers 16" (406 mm) in the US and 18" (450
mm) in Canada to the front of the unit and 8" (200
mm) to the sides.
If the unit is not raised, thermal fl oor protection required
is 18" (450 mm) in the US and Canada.
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
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.
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.
