INSTALLATION
RESIDENTIAL
INSTALLATION
1) Read all instructions before installing your
Regency Stove. Install and use only in
accordance with these installation and
operating 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 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 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 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, po-
sition the stove with the flue collar centered
under the installed chimney.
9) 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).
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 installa-
tion refer to the Mobile Home installation
instructions on page 12.
11)Do not connect this unit to a chimney serv-
ing 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 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.
13)Your Regency Woodstove is not to be
connected 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 installa-
tion when attaching outside air.
MODULAR INSTALLATION OPTIONS
Modular Part
Things to consider when choosing options:
Blower/Fan
Ash Drawer Kit
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
Things to consider when choosing options
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.
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 16.
Adding the Ash Drawer Kit makes cleaning ashes out of the stove easier and cleaner. Installation instructions on page
15.
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.
