INSTALLATION
RESIDENTIAL
INSTALLATION
1) Read all instructions before installing your
Regency Stove. Install and use only in ac-
cordance with these installation and operat-
ing instructions. 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 (see page 13).
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) 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 excessive
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 flue 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 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 sec-
tion on page 12.
6) 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.
7) 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 12.
8) When the floor protection is complete, posi-
tion the stove with the flue collar centered
under the installed chimney.
9) In seismically active areas, Regency recom-
mends that your unit is secured to the floor by
using the bolt down holes inside the pedestal
(the same ones used in Mobile Home instal-
lations).
10) For residential installations using "C" Vent
(single wall) the chimney connector must be
at least 24 gauge steel. Do not use galva-
nized pipe. For Mobile Home installation
refer to the Mobile Home installation instruc-
tions on page 12.
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 floor, ceiling, wall or partition of
combustible construction. In Canada, if pas-
sage through a wall, or partition of combus-
tible construction is desired, the installation
shall conform to CAN/CSA-B365, Installa-
tion Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances
and Equipment.
13) Your Regency Woodstove is not to be con-
nected to any air distribution duct.
ROOM AIR
IMPORTANT
For installation using room air for combustion,
remove knockout from the pedestal, and/or from
the bottom if using a heat shield.
Mobile home installations require the use of
outside air.
On pedestal units there are two locations where
outside air may be adapted to the unit. If using
the bottom of the pedestal, do not remove
knockout from the rear of the pedestal. Only
remove rear knockout if outside air will be brought
in from the rear.
On leg units outside air can only be brought in
from the bottom of the heat shield.
Note: Once the knockout is removed there
are two tabs remaining. Bend both tabs
out for ease of installation when attach-
ing outside air.
MODULAR INSTALLATION OPTIONS
Modular Part
Things to consider when choosing options:
OPTIONS: These can be installed at time of installation or added later:
F1100 & F3100 only:
Airmate OR
Rear Heat Deflector
(all units)
Pedestal OR
Legs
The following items are required when assembling your Regency Stove. F1100 and F3100 units - 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 page 10.
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.
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" to the front and 8" to
each side of the stove.
Modular Option
Blower/Fan
Ash Drawer Kit
Screen Door
Things to consider when choosing options
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.
