Regency CS1200 Freestanding Wood Stove
INSTALLATION
RESIDENTIAL
INSTALLATION
1) Read all instructions before installing your Re-
gency 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 instal-
lation use listed double wall connector systems
(refer to Combustible Wall Chimney Connector
Pass - Throughs).
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 manu-
facturers instructions. 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, backsmoking 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.
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 build-
ing 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.
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.
Some areas may require a larger size fl oor protector.
See your 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 instal-
lation 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 Appli-
ances and Equipment.
13) Your Regency Wood stove is not to be connected
to any air distribution duct.

Mobile home installations require the use of outside air.
