note: a clean-out door is sometimes

required, by your inspector, to be

installed when either the positive flue

connection or direct flue connection

method is used.

note: Adding the

legs changes the

height of the unit,

make sure you have

sufficient clearance

(min. 28") for your flue

connection.

leG option on H2100

HeartH Heater

The addition of legs to the Hearth Heater does

not alter its certification, it does not become a

freestanding woodstove. The H2100 can only

be installed as a Hearth Heater i.e. vented into

a masonry or factory built fireplace.

The instructions below apply to the cast legs.

It will be easier to attach the legs to the stove

if it is tipped on its back (preferably on a soft

surface to prevent scratching).

1) Thread the bolt and washer through the

leg, and then into the nutsert in the base

of the stove and tighten.

2) Level the stove by adjusting the levelling

bolts in the bottom of each leg.

The use of one of the connection methods listed

on this page not only increases the safety of your

insert by directing the hot gases up the flue, but

will also help increase the unit's efficiency and

decrease creosote deposits in the chimney.

When a connected flue or liner is in use, the

insert is able to “breathe” better by allowing a

greater draft to be created. The greater draft can

decrease problems such as, difficult start-ups,

smoking out the door, and dirty glass.

installation into a

factorY Built

fireplace

1) When installed in a factory built fireplace, a

full stainless steel rigid or flexible flue liner

is mandatory, for both safety and perform-

ance purposes. When a flue or liner is in

use, the insert is able to breathe better by

allowing a greater draft to be created. The

greater draft can decrease problems such

as, difficult start-ups, smoking out the door,

and dirty glass.

2) In order to position the flue liner, the exist-

ing rain cap must be removed from your

chimney system. In most cases the flue

damper should also be removed to allow

passage of the liner.

3) In most cases opening the existing spark

screens fully should give enough room for

the insert installation. If it does not, remove

and store.

When referencing installation or connec-

tion to masonry fireplaces or chimneys, the

masonry construction must or shall be code

complying.

installation into a

MasonrY fireplace

The insert must be installed as per the require-

ments of your local inspection authority. Three

methods of flue connection are acceptable in

most areas, these include:

1) Positive flue connection, where a large

blocking plate and a short connector pipe

is used.

2) Direct flue connection, where a smaller

blocking plate and a connector pipe to the

first flue liner tile is used.

3) Full flue liner, where a stainless steel rigid

or flexible liner pipe is routed from the insert

outlet collar to the top of the chimney.

Regency highly recommends the use of a full

liner as the safest installation and provides the

most optimum performance. Your retailer should

be able to help you decide which system would

be the best for your application.

in canada this fireplace insert must be

installed with a continuous chimney liner

of either 5.5" or 6" diameter extending

from the fireplace insert to the top of the

chimney. the chimney liner must conform

to the class 3 requirements of can/ulc-

s640, standard for lining systems for

new Masonry chimneys.
