chimney. anchor plate must be purchased

supplier.

The use of only one of these systems is permitted

when installing the fireplace. Do not alter or mix

parts from other systems as this may cause a

potential hazard and void Regency’s limited

chimney Height

The total height of your chimney system from the

top of the fireplace to the chimney cap must not

exceed 40'(12m), and must also meet minimum

system height requirements. Please refer to

the flue manufacturer's instructions for specific

details. Refer to Minimum Recommended Flue

Height section.

chase enclosure

A chase is a vertical box-like structure

constructed to surround the fireplace and

chimney. A ventilated chase cap is highly

recommended. Refer to flue manufacturer's

instructions for reduced flue 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 out-

side 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 floor

beneath the fireplace 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.
