installation
1) Please read this entire manual before you
install and use your new woodstove. Failure
to follow instructions may result in property
damage, bodily injury or even death. 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 double
wall connector systems.
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) This woodstove must be connected to a
UL 103 HT (ULC S629) listed chimney or
a code approved masonry chimney with a
flue liner.
6) 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 difficult start-up, dirty
glass, back smoking 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 flue pipe
damper may be helpful in reducing excessive
draft.
caution: The chimney should be the same
size as the 6" 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
section within this manual.
7) 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.
8) The floor protector must be of non-combus-
tible material and must extend 16" (406mm)
in front of the door opening and 6" (152mm)
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 within this manual.
9) When the floor protection is complete, posi-
tion the stove with the flue collar centered
under the installed chimney.
10) 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).
11) For residential installations using 6" "C"
Vent (single wall) the chimney connector
must be at least 24 gauge steel. Do not use
galvanized pipe. For Mobile Home instal-
lation refer to the Mobile Home installation
instructions within this manual.
12) do not connect this unit to a chimney
serving another appliance.
13) 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
partition of combustible construction is
desired, the installation shall conform to
CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid-
Fuel-Burning Appliances and Equipment.
14) Your Regency Woodstove is not to be con-
nected to any air distribution duct.
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" (450mm) to the front and
8" (200mm) to each side and back
of the stove.
Modular installation options
Modular part things to consider when choosing options:
Modular option
Blower/fan
ash drawer Kit
screen door
options: these can be installed at time of installation or added later:
f2400M
airmate or
rear Heat deflector
f2400M, s2400M
pedestal or
legs
things to consider when choosing options
The following items are required when assembling your Regency Stove. F2400M unit - 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 Minimum Clearance to Combustible Materials chart in the Installation section of this
manual. 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. Refer to the Installation section within this manual.
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 (refer to Leg and Bottom Shield Assembly, Installation section).
Adding the blower will increase the area heated by the stove, it can move warm air beyond the room where the stove
is installed (refer to Blower/Fan, Installation section).
Adding the Ash Drawer Kit makes cleaning ashes out of the stove easier and cleaner (refer to Bottom Shield Ash
Drawer Kit, Installation section).
A simple add-on option that will allow you to enjoy the sound, warmth and view of an open fire.
