Regency Insert & Hearth Heater81) Positive FlueConnectionwith CleanoutFLUE CONNECTORBRACKETPackage contains: 3 brackets and 6 screws.These brackets are to be used to hold the flueliner (not supplied) to the Insert and keep theconnection. The brackets are screwed into thetop of the Insert in the pre-punched holes andthen screwed into the flue liner.INSTALLATION INTO AMASONRY FIREPLACEThe insert must be installed as per the require-ments of your local inspection authority. Threemethods of flue connection are acceptable inmost areas, these include:1) Positive flue connection, where a largeblocking plate and a short connector pipe isused.2) Direct flue connection, where a smallerblocking plate and a connector pipe to thefirst flue liner tile is used.3) Full flue liner, where a stainless steel rigidor flexible liner pipe is routed from the insertoutlet collar to the top of the chimney.Regency highly recommends the use of a fullliner as the safest installation and provides themost optimum performance. Your retailer shouldbe able to help you decide which system wouldbe the best for your application.Flush Inserts Hearth HeaterINSTALLATION2) Direct FlueConnectionwith Cleanout3a) Full Flue Liner(No CleanoutRequired)3b)Hearth Heater withFull Flue Liner(No CleanoutRequired)Note: A clean-out door is sometimesrequired, by your inspector, to beinstalled when either the Positiveflue connection or Direct flue con-nection method is used.NOTE: Adding the legschanges the height ofthe unit, make sure youhave sufficient clear-ance (min. 28") for yourflue connection.LEG OPTION ON H2100HEARTH HEATERThe addition of legs to the Hearth Heater doesnot alter its certification, it does not become afreestanding woodstove. The H2100 can onlybe installed as a Hearth Heater i.e. vented intoa masonry or factory built fireplace.The instructions below apply to the steel leg,painted cast leg and the gold plated cast leg. Itwill be easier to attach the legs to the stove ifit is tipped on its back (preferably on a softsurface to prevent scratching).1) Thread the bolt and washer through theleg, and then into the nutsert in the baseof the stove and tighten.2) Level the stove by adjusting the levellingbolts in the bottom of each leg.The use of one of the connection methodslisted on this page not only increases the safetyof your insert by directing the hot gases up theflue, but will also help increase the unit'sefficiency and decrease creosote deposits inthe chimney.When a connected flue or liner is in use, theinsert is able to “breathe” better by allowing agreater draft to be created. The greater draftcan decrease problems such as, difficult start-ups, smoking out the door, and dirty glass.INSTALLATION INTO AFACTORY BUILTFIREPLACE1) When installed in a factory built fireplace,a full stainless steel rigid or flexible flue lineris mandatory, for both safety and perform-ance purposes. When a flue or liner is inuse, the insert is able to breathe better byallowing a greater draft to be created. Thegreater draft can decrease problems suchas, difficult start-ups, smoking out the door,and dirty glass.2) In order to position the flue liner, the existingrain cap must be removed from your chim-ney system. In most cases the flue dampershould also be removed to allow passageof the liner.3) In most cases opening the existing sparkscreens fully should give enough room forthe insert installation. If it does not, removeand store.4) If the floor of your fireplace is below thelevel of the fireplace opening, adjust theinsert's levelling bolts to accommodate thedifference. When additional shimming isrequired, use non-combustible masonry orsteel shims.5) Measure approximately the alignment ofthe flue liner with the position of the smokeoutlet hole on the insert to check for pos-sible offset. If an offset is required, use a
