the minimum clearance chart for your model and
set the stove in place. For close clearance instal-
lation use listed double wall connector systems
(refer to Combustible Wall Chimney Connector
Pass - Throughs).

MODULAR INSTALLATION OPTIONS
Emissions from burning wood or gas could
contain chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm.
OPTIONS: These can be installed at time of installation or added later:
Modular Option Considerations when choosing options
Blower/Fan Adding the blower will increase the area heated by the stove, it can move warm air beyond the room where the stove is installed.
Ash Drawer Kit Adding the Ash Drawer Kit makes cleaning ashes out of the stove easier and cleaner.
Side Shields Choice of black or stainless side shields. One set of side shields must be installed on unit.

local inspector. For outside air installation refer to
Mobile Home section.
8) When the fl oor protection is complete, position
the stove with the fl ue collar centered under the
installed chimney.
9) In seismically active areas, Regency recommends
that your unit is secured to the fl oor by using the
bolt down holes inside the pedestal (the same ones
used in Mobile Home installations).
10) For residential installations using "C" Vent (single
wall) the chimney connector must be at least 24
gauge steel. Do not use galvanized pipe. For
Mobile Home installation refer to the Mobile Home
installation section.
11) Do not connect this unit to a chimney serving
another appliance unless approved by your local
building authority.
12) A chimney connector cannot pass through an attic
or roof space, closet or similar concealed space,
or a fl oor, ceiling, wall or partition of combustible
construction. In Canada, if passage through a wall,
or partition of combustible construction is desired,
the installation shall conform to CAN/CSA-B365,
Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances
and Equipment.
13) Your Regency Wood stove is not to be connected
to any air distribution duct.

8) Final
check.
3) To insure vertical alignment, suspend a plumb bob
from the ceiling over the exact center of your stove
fl ue 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-confi rm the clearance from the stove
to combustibles to insure that they are within the
prescribed limits.
5) Install chimney according to chimney manufac-
turers instructions. Specifi cation of the chimney
as a type of suitable for solid fuel with warning
that it and the required chimney connector must
be in good condition. The performance of your
woodstove is governed to a very large part by the
chimney system. Too short a chimney can cause
diffi cult start-up, dirty glass, back smoking when
door is open, and even reduced heat output. Too
tall a chimney may prompt excessive draft which
can result in very short burn times and excessive
heat output. The use of an inexpensive fl ue pipe
damper may be helpful in reducing excessive draft.
When room heater is not properly installed, a
house fi re may result. To reduce risk of fi re, follow
the installation instructions. Contact local building
or fi re offi cials about restrictions and installation
inspection requirements in your area.
CAUTION : The chimney should be the same size
as the fl ue outlet on the stove. The chimney must be
listed as suitable for use with solid fuels. For other
types of chimneys check with your local building
code offi cials. Do not confuse a chimney with a
type “B” Venting System used for gas appliances
as suitable for a wood burning appliance (refer to
the Mobile Home installations section).
6) Mark the location of the unit base on the fl oor, then
move the stove aside and mark the position of the
fl oor protector.
WARNING: Do not install in a sleeping room.
7) The fl oor protector must be of non-combustible
material and must extend 16" in front of the door
opening and 6" to the sides and rear of the unit and
if venting horizontally, beneath the chimney and
extending at least 2" to each side. Some areas
may require a larger size fl oor protector. See your
NOTE: In Canada, fl oor protection must
extend 18" to the front and 8" to
each side of the stove.
