Regency Freestanding Woodstove 7
INSTALLATION
RESIDENTIAL
INSTALLATION
1) Please read this entire manual before you
install and use your new woodstove. Fail-
ure to follow instructions may result in
property damage, bodily injury or even death.
Be aware that local Codes and Regulations
may override some items in this manual.
Check with your local inspector.
2) Select a position for your Regency Stove.
Consult the minimum clearance chart for
your model and set the stove in place. For
close clearance installation use listed dou-
ble wall connector systems.
3) To insure vertical alignment, suspend a
plumb bob from the ceiling over the exact
center of your stove flue and mark a spot on
the ceiling to indicate the center of the
chimney.
4) Check that the area above the ceiling is clear
for cutting. Re-confirm the clearance from
the stove to combustibles to insure that they
are within the prescribed limits.
5) This woodstove must be connected to a UL
103 HT (ULC S629) listed chimney or a code
approved masonry chimney with a flue
liner.
6) Install chimney according to chimney man-
ufacturers instructions. The performance
of your woodstove is governed to a very
large part by the chimney system. Too short
a chimney can cause difficult start-up, dirty
glass, backsmoking when door is open, and
even reduced heat output. Too tall a chim-
ney may prompt excessive draft which can
result in very short burn times and exces-
sive heat output. The use of an inexpensive
flue pipe damper may be helpful in reducing
excessive draft.
CAUTION: The chimney should be the same
size as the 6" flue outlet on the stove. The
chimney must be listed as suitable for use
with solid fuels. For other types of chim-
neys check with your local building code
officials. Do not confuse a chimney with a
type “B” Venting System used for gas
appliances as suitable for a wood burning
appliance. For Mobile Home installations
refer to that section on page 15.
7) Mark the location of the pedestal base or
legs on the floor, then move the stove aside
and mark the position of the floor protector.
8) The floor protector must be of non-combus-
tible material and must extend 16" in front
of the door opening and 6" to the sides and
rear of the unit. Some areas may require a
larger size floor protector. See your local
inspector. For outside air installation refer
to Mobile Home installation instructions on
page 15.
9) When the floor protection is complete, po-
sition the stove with the flue collar centered
under the installed chimney.
10) In seismically active areas, Regency rec-
ommends that your unit is secured to the
floor by using the bolt down holes inside the
pedestal (the same ones used in Mobile
Home installations).
11) For residential installations using 6" "C"
Vent (single wall) the chimney connector
must be at least 24 gauge steel. Do not use
galvanized pipe. For Mobile Home installa-
tion refer to the Mobile Home installation
instructions on page 15.
12) Do not connect this unit to a chimney
serving another appliance.
13) A chimney connector cannot pass through
an attic or roof space, closet or similar
concealed space, or a floor, ceiling, wall or
partition of combustible construction. In
Canada, if passage through a wall, or par-
tition of combustible construction is de-
sired, the installation shall conform to CAN/
CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-
Burning Appliances and Equipment.
14) Your Regency Woodstove is not to be
connected to any 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.
NOTE: In Canada, floor protection must
extend 18" (450mm) to the front
and 8" (200mm) to each side and
back of the stove.
MODULAR INSTALLATION OPTIONS
Modular Part Things to consider when choosing options:
Modular Option
Blower/Fan
Ash Drawer Kit
Screen Door
OPTIONS: These can be installed at time of installation or added later:
F2400M
Airmate OR
Rear Heat Deflector
F2400M, S2400M
Pedestal OR
Legs
Things to consider when choosing options
The following items are required when assembling your Regency Stove. F2400M unit - the Rear Heat Deflector is supplied with the stove, but
if you choose not to use it you must use the Airmate instead.
Clearances are different. See the chart on pages 8 and 9. Generally you can get closer clearances with the airmate
than with the rear heat deflector.
Convection heat with Airmate vs. Radiant Heat with Rear Heat Deflector. The airmate pushes heat forward and into
the room, the rear heat deflector deflects the heat upward. See installation instructions on pages 10 and 11.
There are no performance differences with either the pedestal or legs. It is primarily a personal preference. Legs
can be either painted steel, painted cast, or gold plated cast.
Leg installation requires the bottom shield. See installation instructions on page 11.
Adding the blower will increase the area heated by the stove, it can move warm air beyond the room where the stove
is installed. Installation instructions on page 18.
Adding the Ash Drawer Kit makes cleaning ashes out of the stove easier and cleaner. Installation instructions on page
17.
A simple add-on option that will allow you to enjoy the sound, warmth and view of an open fire.
