READ BEFORE YOU INSTALL
THE REGENCY HIGH
EFFICIENCY EPA CERTIFIED
FIREPLACE
INSTALLATION
This installation manual will enable you to make
a safe, efficient and dependable installation of
your fireplace and chimney system. Please
read and understand these instructions before
beginning your installation.
Do not alter or modify the fireplace or its
components under any circumstances. Any
modification or alteration of the fireplace system,
including but not limited to the fireplace, chimney
components and accessories, may void the
warranty, listing and approvals of this system
and could result in an unsafe and potentially
dangerous installation.
PLEASE RETAIN THIS MANUAL FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE.
IMPORTANT: Please read and follow these
rules for safety.
6) Use solid fuel only. DO NOT use artificial logs
containing petroleum products, chemical
chimney cleaners, gas logs, gas lighters,
salt contaminated wood or flame colorants
in your fireplace. When using compressed
sawdust logs use only at 1/3 capacity since
these get very hot and expand.
7) DO NOT use charcoal or coal under any
circumstances.
8) NEVER use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern
fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or any
liquid to start or “freshen up” a fire in this
fireplace. Keep any flammable liquid a safe
distance from the fireplace.
9) Ashes should be placed in a metal
container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed
container of ashes should be placed on a
non-combustible floor or on the ground,
well away from all combustible materials,
pending final disposal. If the ashes are
disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise
locally dispersed, they should be retained
in the closed container until all cinders have
thoroughly cooled.
1) Before starting your fireplace installation,
read these installation instructions carefully
to be sure you understand them in their
entirety. Failure to follow them could cause
a fireplace malfunction resulting in serious
injury and/or property damage.
10) WARNING: Only operate fireplace with
doors fully open when optional fire screen
is used.
2) Always check with your local building
department, fire department and local
authorities prior to installation to determine
the need to obtain a permit.
12) Allow the fireplace to cool before servicing.
Always shut-off any electricity to the fireplace
while working on it. This will prevent any
possible electrical shock.
3) This model fireplace must be installed with
one of the chimney systems listed in the
Chimney Section in this manual. These
systems are intended for use as a residential
type appliance. The chimney must always
vent to the outside of the building.
13) Regency is not responsible for any
smoking or related problems that
may result from the lack of adequate
combustion air. It is the responsibility
of the installer to ensure that adequate
combustion air has been provided for
the fireplace.
4) WARNING: THIS FIREPLACE HAS NOT
BEEN TESTED WITH AN UNVENTED
GAS LOG SET. TO REDUCE RISK OF
FIRE OR INJURY, DO NOT INSTALL AN
UNVENTED GAS LOG SET INTO THE
FIREPLACE.
5) To ensure a safe fireplace system and to
prevent the build-up of soot and creosote,
inspect and clean the fireplace and chimney
prior to use and periodically during the
heating season.
6
15) IMPORTANT: Check with your local building
department as to the requirements of sealing
any penetrations to the exterior. This will
ensure that the integrity of the building is
intact.
16) DO NOT use a fireplace insert or any other
product not specified by Regency for use
with this fireplace.
17) NEVER, under any circumstances, install
a fireplace, chimney component or any
accessories, supplied by Regency, that have
visible or suspected physical damage as a
result of handling or transportation. These
items should be inspected by a Regency
dealer or qualified factory representative
to ensure safe condition. When in doubt,
consult your Regency dealer.
18) It is recommended that power is supplied
to the terminal block of the unit to allow for
the installation of blower components now
or at a future date.
11) NEVER leave children unattended when
there is a fire burning in the fireplace.
14) FPI Fireplace Products International Ltd.
does not warranty “smoke-free” operation
nor are we responsible for inadequate
system draft caused by mechanical systems,
general construction conditions, inadequate
chimney heights, adverse wind conditions
and/or unusual environmental factors or
conditions beyond our control.
Emissions from burning wood or gas
could contain chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm.

CLEARANCES AND HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS
INSTALLATION
The FP90 may be placed on or near construction
materials. The combustion air kit, fire stop spacer
and roof flashings (not chase flashings) may be
placed directly on or against normal construction
materials. The chimney requires a minimum 2"
(51mm) clearance. A combustible mantle (to a
depth of 10", 254mm) may be installed no closer
than 18" (457mm) above the warm air vent or
55-1/2" (1410mm) from bottom of unit.
The chimney must be enclosed when installed
in or passing through a living area where
combustible material or people may come in
contact with it. This is important to prevent
possible personal injury or fire hazard.
For any further information, please call your
dealer. Special restrictions apply to the front and
facing of the fireplace and nearby walls.
No Combustibles on Face of Unit.
Combustibles May Not Extend to
Unit Face.
Do not notch wallboard around
standoffs.
WARNING: If insulation is used, do not place
the unit against it. Insulation or vapor barriers,
if used, must be secured to assure insulation
and vapor barriers remain in place and do not
affect the required air spaces.
WARNING: Do not pack or fill required air spaces
with insulation or other material. No material of
any kind is allowed in these areas.
NOTES:
1) Do not insulate the chase cavity with blown
or fill type insulation materials.
2) Local codes may not require firestopping
at the ceiling level for outside chase
installations; however, it is recommended
for safety and the reduction of heat loss.
3) We recommend that you insulate at least
the first floor of the chase to prevent heat
loss.
4) Some local codes require 1 hour fire rating
on one or all sides of fire chases. Check
with your local authorities.

There are two adjustments to allow for maximum
offset (1" , 25mm recessed from front of fireplace
or 1.25", 32mm extending past front of fireplace).
The Nailing Strip Spacers can be adjusted by
loosening the two screws securing them to the
Nailing Strips. The Nailing Strips can also be
moved forward and back by adjusting the screws
that mount them to the fireplace.

Note: If the fireplace is being cantilevered
through an outside wall, the entire
enclosure (floor, wall and false
ceiling) up to the first ceiling level
must be completely insulated and
vapor sealed and sheathed, to avoid
transfer of cold air through the
fireplace when not in use.

18” [457mm]
To accommodate varying thicknesses and
finishes of hearth materials, we have increased
the overall height of the appliance by a further 1
1/8”. This increase is added with the inclusion of
two stand-offs at the bottom of the unit, below the
outer box, taking the overall height of the framing
dimensions from 50-3/4” up to 51-7/8”.
In the event that you should choose to use thinner
materials to finish the hearth, you can omit the
stand-offs provided for raising the unit. However,
we recommend that you leave the framing
dimensions as they are in the manual and alter
only the facing requirement by reducing it by the
same distance that you have lowered the unit.
Insert the 2 unit base stand-offs underneath the
unit as shown in the diagram below. Space the
stand-offs centrally, approximately 2 or 2-1/2 feet
apart. Ensure that the unit is not unstable.

As per the diagram, the framing of the main
enclosure should not infringe on the area above
the fireplace to the ceiling level. The rear and
side walls as well as the face above the fireplace
must not extend into the area above the unit.
The only structure allowed above the unit is on
the stand-offs at the front of the unit supporting
the header.
There is framing only on the front of the unit.
When framing in the header (directly above
the fireplace) DO NOT bring any combustible
material lower than the top of the stand-offs.
Framing header may be positioned on end
directly on top of the front fireplace stand-offs.
Be sure to seal the space between the fireplace
and the enclosure above and on either side of
the unit with Wonderboard, Durock or other
similar non-combustible sheeting to prevent hot
air from entering the enclosure.

LOCATION OF
FIREPLACE
1) Carefully select the proper location for heat
circulation, aesthetics, chimney obstructions
and clearance to side wall(s). With proper
pre-planning, a slight adjustment of a few
inches can save considerable time and
expense later during construction and
assembly.
2) Carefully consider the position of the fireplace
opening with respect to the location of
adjacent or nearby stairwells, bath or kitchen
exhaust fans and/or return air registers for
forced air furnaces/air conditioners that
could cause a smoking fireplace condition
if the house is tightly insulated.

HEARTH EXTENSION
NOTE: Hearth must have 1/2" (13mm) Millboard
under finish material with minimum "k" factor
of 0.84. When unit is raised 4" (102mm), the
thermal floor protection is not required. If you
plan to raise the fireplace and hearth extension,
build the platform assembly then position
fireplace and hearth extension on top. If you
are not raising the unit, check that you will have
sufficient clearance under the bottom louver
for your finishing material on top of the hearth
extension, i.e. tiles, concrete board, etc.
1) Insert the metal safety strip, packaged
with the fireplace beneath the fireplace as
illustrated in Diagram 1 below. The safety
strip should be tacked down to prevent
possible shifting and should overlap for
continual coverage of the floor.
Note: A safety strip is not required when the
fireplace rests on a non-combustible
surface.
Note: Install the hearth extension only as
illustrated.
3) Fireplace must be anchored to the framing
to prevent movement or rocking; use the
nailing strips which have been supplied.
The nailing strips are installed to the side
of the unit and to the front side of the 2 x 4
or 2 x 6.
10
The safety strip should extend 2 in. (51 mm)
in front and on the sides of the fireplace.
In the event a wooden support is used to
elevate the fireplace above the floor, a “Z”
type safety strip should be fabricated from
20 gauge galvanized sheet steel and used
to protect the front surface of the wood
support as well as the floor beneath the
hearth extension.
How To Determine
If Alternate Floor
Protection Materials Are
Acceptable
The specified floor protector should be 1/2”
(13mm) thick material with a k-factor of 0.84.
The proposed alternative is 4” (102mm) brick
with a C-factor of 1.25 over 1/8” (3mm) mineral
board with a k-factor of 0.29.
Step (a): Use formula above to convert
specification to R-value.
R = 1/k x T = 1/0.84 x .75 = 0.893.
Step (b): Calculate R of proposed system.
4” brick of C = 1.25, therefore
Rbrick = 1/C = 1/1.25 = 0.80
1/8” mineral board of k = 0.29,
therefore Rmin.bd. = 1/0.29 x
0.125 = 0.431
Total R = Rbrick + Rmineral board
= 0.8 + 0.431 = 1.231.
Step (c): Compare proposed system R of
1.231 to specified R of 0.893.
Since proposed system R is
greater than required, the system
is acceptable.

CHIMNEY SYSTEM
CONSIDERATIONS
Regency’s FP90 Fireplace is to be installed with
one of the following Chimney Systems only.
Chimney systems only 8" (203mm) diameter
are to be used.
In U.S.A.
Any of the following air-cooled chimney systems
may be used:
Note: Fireplace Adaptor must be purchased
with Fireplace when using air cooled. When
using DuraPlus, purchase adapter with
Chimney System from Chimney Supplier.
The use of only one of these systems is permitted
when installing the fireplace. Do not alter or mix
parts from other systems as this may cause a
potential hazard and void Regency’s limited
warranty.
Chimney Height
The total height of your chimney system from the
top of the fireplace to the chimney cap must not
exceed 40'(12m), and must also meet minimum
system height requirements. Please refer to
the flue manufacturer's instructions for specific
details. Refer to Minimum Recommended Flue
Height section.
This unit requires the chase to be ventilated
with one 30 sq. inch vent. Refer to Installation
Measurements section.
Note: Insulation does not come in contact
with Chimney. Maintain a 2" (51mm)
clearance.
A chase is a vertical box-like structure constructed
to surround the fireplace and chimney. A
ventilated chase cap is highly recommended.
Refer to flue manufacturer's instructions for
reduced flue heights above chase terminations.
As with all chimney installations, avoid overhead
obstructions such as trees, power lines, etc.
A chase should be constructed just like any
outside wall, insulated and vapor barriered.
Please check with local building authorities. In
a cold climate, we recommend the base of the
chase be insulated between the solid continuous
floor beneath the fireplace and the chase bottom.
If used, the value and amount of chase insulation
in a cold climate installation is optional and not
required for safety. Insulation is recommended
to avoid heat loss.

INSTALLATION
ASSEMBLY STEPS
Note: The following steps represent the
normal sequence of installation.
Each installation is unique, however,
and might require different steps.
Each step is dealt with in detail in the
following pages.
1) Install stand-offs and insulation strip to the
unit.
I M P O R TA N T:
Remove gold
accessories such as louvers
while installing to avoid marking.
Position firebox prior to framing or into
prepared framing. See Framing Details
section.
IMPORTANT: It is absolutely necessary
to attach stand-offs to the unit to
avoid combustion problems. Serious
overheating of combustible framing and
possible fire may result if stand-offs are
not properly installed.
IMPORTANT: Under no circumstances
can the fireplace top or side spacers be
removed or modified. Do not notch the
header to be installed closer than the
fireplace outside facing spacers.
4) Install Outside Combustion Air Kit and Chase
Ventilation Grill.
5) Hook-up the Wiring.
8) Complete finish wall material, surround and
hearth extension to your individual taste.
9) Position vermiculite liner / bricks and ceramic
fiber insulation in the unit. Attach louvers,
glass, doors, handles.
INSTALLING THE
STAND-OFFS
Stand-offs are installed to provide reduced
temperatures and proper clearances for the
safe installation of your product. They consist
of four 3" (76mm) stand-offs on the back, two
3" (76mm) stand-offs on each side and one 8"
(203mm) stand-off on the top of the unit.
Attach these stand-offs where indicated in the
pre-drilled holes on the unit body.
FPI FP90 Wood Fireplace
The minimum ceiling height is 7ft (2m) from the
base of the unit. A suitable non-combustible
hearth pad is mandatory in all installations. See
Framing Details section.
Following are a set of general guidelines for
installation of the chimney system. The more
detailed installation manual supplied with the
specific chimney system must be followed.
IMPORTANT: A chase vent of 30 in2 (194
cm2) MUST be installed in all applications,
otherwise serious overheating of the chase
may result. Use the chase vent supplied with
the FP90 unit only.
7) Gravity Air Feed Option.
The fireplace may be positioned and then the
framing built around it, or the framing may be
constructed and the fireplace positioned into
the opening.
INSTALLING THE
CHIMNEY SYSTEM
3) Install the Chimney System.
6) Install the Blower.
The fireplace may be installed directly on a
combustible floor or raised on a platform of an
appropriate height. Do not place fireplace on
carpeting, vinyl or other soft floor coverings. It
may, however, be placed on flat wood, plywood,
particle board or other hard surfaces. Be sure
the fireplace rests on a solid continuous floor
or platform for support and to prevent cold air
from entering the room from under the fireplace,
if against an outside wall.
IMPORTANT: Insulation extends forward
to seal against the back of the fireplace
masonry or non-combustible face.
SET FIREPLACE
INTO POSITION
1) Estimate the total weight of the fireplace
system and surround materials such as
brick, stone, etc., to be installed. Shipping
weight is 612 lbs (278kg).
2) Measure the square footage of the floor
space to be occupied by the system,
surrounds and hearth extensions.
3) Note the floor construction, i.e. 2 x 10’s, (51
x 250 mm), single or double joists, type and
thickness of floor boards and consult your
local building code to determine if you need
additional support.
4) Remove door, firebox bricks, louvers etc.
Note: Set aside Gold louvers away from
harsh chemicals and away from
abrasive materials to avoid damage,
e.g. muriatic acid for masonry wash
will strip the gold plate. Firebricks
are fragile and should be handled
with caution.
1) Using standard construction framing
techniques, construct the opening for the
chimney route up through the ceiling(s) and
roof or through an outside chase. Framing
must maintain adequate minimum air space
clearance at all times.
CAUTION: Allow a minimum 2" (51mm)
chimney air space or as specified by
the owner's manual for the chimney, to
combustible framing members throughout
vertical or offset chimney installation.
2) Attach fireplace adaptor/anchor plate to
the top of the fireplace. It is important that
a tight seal be made with this part and the
unit’s collar. This must be purchased with
the fireplace.
3) Install firestop, radiation shield, or attic
insulation shield as required at each floor
penetration. See Table 1 (page 15). Check
chimney manufacturer's framing opening
sizes to allow for correct clearances. All
parts must be listed.
4) The roof flashing should be installed making
sure that alignment is correct with openings
below.
5) Chimney lengths may now be added until
the required height is reached. A minimum
flue height of 12ft. (4m) from the top of the
unit is mandatory. Please refer to Table 2
for Flue Heights (page 15).

INSTALLATION
2) Complete framing and installation of the
nailing strips for the FP90.
There is also 1" unit base standoffs that are
supplied with the unit. These are optional and
are to be used to raise the unit. The thickness
of the finished hearth will dictate the height of
the stove. Please be careful to ensure that the
bottom louver will open when unit is installed
with the finished hearth.
INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
The performance of your unit is governed to a
very large extent by the chimney system. Too
short a chimney can produce poor drafting
which in turn can cause difficult start-up, dirty
glass, smoking out door 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
chimney must extend at least 3ft. (0.9m)
above its point of penetration of the roof. It
must also be at least 2ft. (0.6m) higher than
any point of a roof, wall, or building within
10ft. (3m) of it.
6) The raincap and storm collar should now
be fastened to the top of the chimney.
Install additional support(s) as indicated by
chimney manufacturer's instructions.
SPECIAL NOTES:
Offset Chimney Installation
1) Negative Pressure In The House. When
there is no fire in your unit there still should
be sufficient draft to draw smoke from
a burning piece of paper held under the
baffle. If your installation is correct, smoke
will go up the flue. If however, there is a
problem with your installation, cold air may
be coming down the flue into the room.
Chimney elbows may be used in the installation
of the system. A maximum of four 30 degree
elbows are allowed. Offset angles of 30 and
15 degrees are allowed with a maximum of 2
offsets.
This may be the case if your unit smokes
on start-up with the door open, until the
unit heats up. To overcome this problem,
try closing an upstairs window and open a
nearby window to pressurize the house.
1) Install the fireplace and chimney as
described above. When you require an
elbow, proceed as follows:
2) Install the elbow. Turn the elbow to the
required direction and fasten it with screws
or locking bands depending on flue design
as specified by the manufacturer.
Note: the door can be open briefly to start
your fire but must be closed during regular
operation because the unit uses outside air
for combustion, not room air.
3) Turn the chimney lengths clockwise to
lock them together, then secure them with
screws at each joint or locking bands; see
the manufacturers requirements.
2) Multiple Terminations. When you install
more than one chimney in the same chase
or within the same general area, we suggest
that their terminations be separated by at
least 16" (410mm) horizontally and 18"
(460mm) vertically. This separation is to
prevent smoke migrating from one chimney
to another.
4) Use another elbow to return the chimney to
vertical.
5) Install an offset support in the joist at the ceiling. Re-support above each offset; elbows
are not designed to carry the weight of the
flue system.
3) Chimney Maintenance. It is important that
you inspect your chimney regularly and keep
it clean. If you note more than 1/8" (3mm)
creosote build up in your chimney have it
cleaned as per instructions of the chimney
manufacturer.

INSTALLING THE
OUTSIDE AIR KIT
Combustion air is fed to the firebox through a
connection on the rear lower left side of the unit.
A free flowing supply of air must be available to
this opening at all times. Combustion air may be
taken from inside the building if the local building
code allows, but performance may suffer. Also,
it must go through the 6" (152mm) duct to the
connection on the left hand side.
Air drawn from the interior of the building will
affect the performance of gas or oil furnaces,
and exhaust fans and fan driven appliances.
This may cause a negative pressure in the
house allowing smoke to back into the home.
FPI FP90 Wood Fireplace
# OF ELBOWS
The preferred source of combustion air is from
outside the building. If possible, install the kit
on the wind loading side of the building not the
leeward or (negative pressure) side.
Note: Do not obtain combustion air from
attic, garage or other enclosed
space.
1) Put the supplied insulated air duct to a nearby
exterior wall. Maximum length of duct is 20ft
(6.1m). Duct length should be kept to a
minimum and as straight as possible. Note:
4 ft. only is supplied with unit. Termination
should be in an area with good air flow.
2) Ensure that your air source is not close to
automobile exhaust, gas meters or other
vents.
3) Cut a 7" (178mm) hole through the wall and
mount the outside air kit.
4) Attach the two ends of the duct (making
sure not to damage the insulating cover)
after installing the flange on the fireplace
side. Duct must be secured by screws or
clamp.

1) Remove the screw from the vent hole cover
(vent cover 'A') on top of the unit.
2) Take the connector collar and press and
rotate it into the hole to cut through the
insulation layer. Remove the collar and
remove insulation from the collar. The screws
for the inner cover should be exposed.
3) Remove the screws from the inner cover
(vent cover 'B') and slide it back under the
insulation.
5) Use tin snips to cut slits into the rim of the
connector collar. A minimum of four tabs
will be required so cut the slits 1” (25mm)
(i.e. 1” (25mm) wide tabs) apart around the
perimeter of the collar.
6) Install the connecting collar into the top of
the unit until the bead of the collar rests
against the top of the inner top of the unit.
Reach inside the upper louver opening
and use pliers to bend the tabs (minimum
4) out on the connector collar. A hammer
may be required to lightly tap the tabs and
bend them so that they fit tightly against the
bottom of the inner top. Pull the insulation
sleeve down to the top of the unit. Repeat
steps 1-6 for the second flex vent and collar
assembly.
Flex Vent
9) Pull the insulation sleeve up the flex vent
to the back of the mounting frame. The flex
vent should now be connected to both the
unit and the mounting frames securely.
Repeat steps 1-8 for the second flex vent
assembly.
10) Install the block-off plate to the unit. The
block-off plate will cover the upper louver
opening of the unit and force the fan air
to circulate through the two 8” (203mm)
diameter flex vents. Put high temperature
sealant onto the block-off plate. Mount the
block-off plate onto the front of the unit and
cover the upper louver opening. Make sure
that all exposed holes in the block-off plate
are sealed with high temperature sealant.
NOTE:
Make sure the block-off plate is flush and
fastened tightly to the Regency FP90
Fireplace.
11) The rough opening size for the Chase Vent
Grille is 3” H x 10” W (76mm H x 254mm
W).
WARNING:
A chase vent of 30 sq. inches (194 cm2)
MUST be installed in all applications,
otherwise serious overheating of the chase
may result. Use the chase vent supplied with
the FP90 unit only or any equivalent one with
the same or less restriction of air flow.
12) Recheck all flex vent-work connections to
make sure that they are secure. Install wall
sheathing and cut-out openings for the chase
ventilation, and hot air discharge outlets.
7) Position the vent frames for the Discharge
Grilles into the rough opening of the stud
wall framing. Make sure to add two insulation
strips behind the flanges of the frame prior to
securing to wall. The frames will fit between
studs framed at 16” (406mm) on center. Use
4 nails or screws to mount the frame to the
stud framing.

FINISHING THE
REGENCY FP90
Completing The Facing
Facing materials must be thin veneer (non-self
supporting facades) or self supporting facades.
If you are installing a thin veneer facade the
Regency Masonry Retainer Kit is recommended.
All facades must be Non-Combustible such
as brick, rock or ceramic tile. See Clearance to
Combustible diagram at the beginning of this
manual to determine the extent to which you
must use non-combustible materials. Gypsum
wallboard is not non-combustible.
Non-self Supporting, Thin Veneer
Facades Installation
1) Install heavy expanded metal only on the
top half of the fireplace using a drill to predrill holes and install using tap screws at
locations as indicated on kit.
2) Install metal edging of kit on each side of
the doors making sure the edges fit nicely
with the arch edge above.
3) Cover the rest of the area with wire mesh
or metal lath, overlapping around the heavy
expanded metal. Make sure nails or staples
used for fastening mesh penetrate studs at
least 1" (25mm).
4) Mortar must be "thin set" or "thin bed" type
inherently polymer modified. If not modified,
you should add a synthetic latex additive.
Mix to a firm, moist consistency. Using a
plasterer's or mason's trowel apply mortar
1/2" (13mm) to 3/4" (19mm) thick to prepared
surface area. Do not spread more than a
workable area so that the mortar will not
set up before stone or brick is applied.
Note: Remove the fireplace doors and
louvers and store them in a safe place
until all the masonry work is finished.
Acid from the cleaning operation will
permanently damage gold plating.
5) If additional mortar is required, use a grout
bag to fill in joints. Care must be taken to
avoid smearing on the surface of stone or
brick. Accidental smears should be removed
only after mortar has become crumbly, using
a whisk broom or dry bristle brush. Do not
use a wet brush or a wire brush.
6) When mortar joints have become firm
(thumb-print dry) they should be pointed
up with a wood stick or metal jointing tool.

4) Extend flex vent and pull the insulation
sleeves over the 8” (203mm) diameter flex
vents. Leave a short section of flex vent
exposed at each end. On one end insert the
collar into the flex vent and use a clamp to
hold the flex vent in place.
8) Insert the connecting collar into the other
end of the 5 ft. (1.5m) flex vent and use an
adjustable clamp to hold the vent in place.
Cut tabs into the rim of the connector collar
(a minimum of 4 tabs will be required). Push
the collar through the 8” (203mm) hole in
the mounting frame. Use pliers to bend out
tabs (minimum 4) to secure the collar to the
mounting frame.
INSTALLATION
Non-Combustible Material
INSTALLATION
Do not restrict air flow through
the top and bottom louvers of
the fireplace. This will cause
overheating and possible ignition
of surrounding materials. Top
louver maybe closed only if
gravity feed kit option is used.
Diagram 1
Masonry Retainer Kit Option
For a non-selfsupporting veneer finish only.
1) Framing and plywood cannot extend past
the side and top stand-off spacers. Allow
for the thickness of the Non-Combustible
Material when framing so that the front of the
Fireplace and the Non-Combustible Material
are flush.
3) Mesh must be positioned one way only to
allow the mortar to hold and not slide off.
Place "Middle" mesh (A) on the front and
position top grill edge frame. Check dimensions from opening and mark and drill screw
holes. Depending on the installation, heavier
reinforcing wire screen may be required to
bridge the stand-off spacer area around the
perimeter of the unit. Hold in position with 2
screws while the door arch is centered.
2) Unscrew the top stand-off and move the
ceramic blanket forward so it will be tight
against the mesh to make a seal.
4) Place side metal filler strips in between stove
and framing to cover the stand-off space.
Fit the strips behind "A" so that they cover
the stand-offs, and will prevent mortar from
falling through the mesh.
5) Center door arch edge, mark and drill holes.
Note the top of the side pieces meet up with
the edges of the center arch. Attach arch
edge and bottom of grill edge to unit. The
door arch floats at each end so that it can be
adjusted to match the curve of the door.

ASH DRAWER KIT
OPTION
During constant use, ashes should be removed
every few days. The Ash Drawer Kit option
provides a convenient and easy way to keep
your wood stove clean. This ash drawer kit can
only be used with the fireplace unit.
Safety Precautions
Ash Drawer Kit Installation
Ash Drawer Operating Guideline
1) Remove the bricks from the floor of the
firebox.
1) Only clean ashes out of the fireplace when
the unit has cooled down. Remove the
plug by lifting on the handle using the tool
provided. The plug may still be warm, use
caution. Push the ashes down the hole into
the ash drawer, the large pieces can be left
in the firebox and burned during the next fire
or removed through the door opening.
2) Open the louver in front of the fireplace.
3) Remove the ash dump cover plates (one
inside the firebox and one on the underside
of the firebox) by removing the two nuts
and bolts holding the 2 plates together from
underneath the stove.
2) Always leave 1/2 to 1 inch of ash in the
bottom of the firebox. This helps in easier
starting and a more uniform burn of your
fire.
3) To remove the drawer, lift slightly and slide
it out. When the drawer is completely out,
slide the cover plate over the ash drawer
and carry away.
2) Please take care to prevent the build-up of
ash around the start-up air housing located
inside the stove box, under the loading door
lip.
3) If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil
or otherwise locally dispersed, they should
be retained in the closed container until all
cinders have thoroughly cooled. Other waste
should not be placed in the ash container.
4) Never start a fire if the ash plug and ash
drawer are not in place. This will cause over
firing which can cause excessive warping of
the stove. Over firing will void the warranty
on your stove, and damage your fireplace.
4) Push the ash plug into the hole inside the
firebox and replace all the bricks.
4) When emptying the ash drawer, make sure
the ashes are cold. Ashes should be placed
in a metal container with a tight fitting lid.
The closed container of ashes should be
placed on a non-combustible floor or on
the ground, well away from all combustible
materials, pending final disposal.
5) The firebricks are brittle and can be damaged
if the plug is replaced carelessly or pieces
that are too large are forced through the
hole.
5) Before putting the ash drawer back into
place, make sure the cover lid is off and the
ash plug is back in place.
5) Slide the ash drawer shelf into clips on the
bottom of the firebox and add thumbscrews
to secure in place.
6) Slide the ash drawer into the ash drawer
shelf.
7) Place the lid and the ash plug tool on the
fan trasfer plate for storage.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Draft Control
Both the primary and air wash drafts are
controlled by the control rod located behind
the bottom louver. To increase your draft, pull
to the right for open, to decrease push to the
left for closed.
WARNING: Never build a roaring fire in
a cold stove. Always warm your stove
up slowly!
2) Keep the doors closed during operation.
Doors can be fully open during operation
when optional fire screen door is used.
Maintain all seals in good condition.
6) Once a bed of coals has been established, you
may adjust the draft control to a low setting to
operate the unit at its most efficient mode.
3) Do not burn large quantities of paper in your
fireplace.
7) For the first few days, the stove will give
off an odour from the paint and oil burn off.
This is to be expected as the high temperature paint becomes seasoned. Windows
and/or doors should be left open to provide
adequate ventilation while this temporary
condition exists. Burning the stove at a very
high temperature the first few times may
damage the paint. Burn fires at a moderate
level the first few days.
8) For those units installed at higher elevations
drafting problems may occur. Consult an
experienced dealer on methods of increasing
your draft. Follow the Flue Height Chart
(Table 2, page 15).
WARNING: Do not build the fire too close
to the glass.
FIRST FIRE
When your installation is completed and
inspected you are ready for your first fire.
1) Open draft control fully to the right to open.
CAUTION: Fireplace equipped with
doors should be operated only with
doors fully open or doors fully closed.
If doors are left partly open, gas and
flame may be drawn out of the fireplace
opening, creating risks of both fire and
smoke.
3) With the draft still in the fully open position
add two or three seasoned logs to your fire.
Form a trench in the ash bed to allow air to
reach the rear of the firebox prior to closing
the doors.
4) During the first few days it may be more
difficult to start the fire. As you dry out
your firebrick, your draft will increase.
Due to the large quantity of firebrick, which
has a high water content, it may take many
fires (20 or more) to thoroughly cure the
firebrick. The firebrick will become lighter
in colour as it dries out.
5) After about 15 to 20 minutes, when your
wood has begun to burn strongly, adjust
your draft control down to keep the fire at a
moderate level.
FPI FP90 Wood Fireplace
10) Before opening your door to reload, open
draft fully for approximately 10 to 15 seconds
until fire has been re-established. This will
minimize any smoking.
11) All fuel burning appliances consume oxygen
during operation. It is important that you
supply a source of fresh air to your unit
while burning. Air drawn from the interior of
the building will affect the performance of
gas or oil furnaces, and exhaust fans and
fan driven appliances. This may cause a
negative pressure in the house allowing
smoke to back into the home. The preferred
source of combustion air is from outside the
building. If possible, install the kit on the wind
loading side of the building not the leeward
or (negative pressure) side.
12) Green or wet wood is not recommended
for your unit since most of the energy will
be used to drive off the moisture instead of
heating your home. As well, green or wet
wood can result in dirty glass.
5) Do not overfire fireplace. If overfiring takes
place, stop adding fuel and close the draft
control. Overfiring can cause extensive
damage to your unit including warpage and
premature steel corrosion. Overfiring will
void your warranty.
6) Do not permit creosote or soot build-up in the
chimney system. Check and clean chimney
at regular intervals.
7) The fireplace face can be very hot. You
may be seriously burned if you touch the
unit while in operation. Warn children of
the burn hazard.
8) Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue
serving another appliance.
9) Do not use grates or andirons or other
methods for supporting fuel. Burn directly
on the bricks.
10) When re-fuelling the fire turn off blowers, open
draft prior to slowly opening the door. Failure
to do so could result in smoke spillage.
11) Your unit should burn dry, standard firewood
only. The use of “mill ends” is discouraged as
this fuel can easily overheat your fireplace.
Evidence of excessive overheating will void
your warranty. As well, a large portion of
sawmill waste is chemically treated lumber,
which is illegal to burn in many areas. Salt
drift wood, chemically treated fire logs and
pressure treated woods, green or wet wood,
must not be burned in your woodstoves.
12) Do not store any fuel closer than 3 feet from
your unit.
13) Clearances from front of the fireplace to
combustible materials is 36" (i.e. from a
sofa, table, etc.).
13) Always maintain clean glass. Clean glass
means a clean flue; if you are experiencing
dirty glass you may be operating a fire that
is set too low. Ask your dealer for details.
14) IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the convection
louvers at any time. Blocking air into this area will
cause excessively high firebox temperatures
and a potentially dangerous situation.
14) Keep your spark arrester on the flue clean. It
should be checked and maintained regularly,
at least monthly.
15) Creosote: Formation and need for removal.
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar
and other organic vapors, which combine
with expelled moisture to form creosote. The
creosote vapors condense in the relatively
cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As
a result, creosote residue accumulates on
the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote
makes an extremely hot fire. The chimney
shall be inspected at least twice a year during
the heating season to determine when a
creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote
has accumulated it shall be removed to
reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
1) Never use gasoline, gasoline type lantern
fuels, kerosene, charcoal lighter fuel or
similar liquids to start or ‘freshen up’ a fire
in your fireplace. Keep all such liquids well
away from the unit while in use.
31
OPERATION
2) Open firebox doors and build a small fire
using paper and dry kindling. Secure doors
on the firebox and wait a few minutes for
a good updraft in the flue to establish the
fire. Leaving the doors slightly open will help
your fire start more rapidly and keep glass
clean. Add more kindling to establish a hot
coal bed before adding larger cordwood.
9) Some cracking and popping noises may be
experienced during the heating up process.
These noises will be minimal when your unit
reaches temperature.
4) If you have smoke detectors, prevent smoke
spillage as this may set off a false alarm.
MAINTENANCE
PLATED FINISHES
GLASS CLEANING
CHIMNEY CLEANING
The optional plated finishes on the louvers and
surrounds requires little maintenance and needs
only to be cleaned with a damp cloth. DO NOT
use abrasive materials or chemical cleaners, as
they may harm the finish and void the warranty.
Keep doors and louvers off during construction
to avoid damage.
Only clean your glass window when it is
cool. Your local retailer can supply you with
a recommended glass cleaner if plain water
and a soft cloth does not remove all deposits.
Do not use oven cleaner on the glass as it will
etch the glass.
Do not permit any creosote or soot build-up in
the chimney system. If you detect any build-up
contact a qualified chimney sweep or clean it
yourself. Perform the following steps:
DOOR GASKET
If the door gasket requires replacement, you
must use 5/8" (16mm) diameter oval, medium
density material, 34" (864mm) long for each side.
A proper high temperature gasket adhesive is
required. Contact your dealer for the Regency
Gasket Repair Kit.
DOOR HINGES
GLASS REMOVAL /
REPLACEMENT
Allow the stove to cool before removing or
replacing glass. Remove the door from the
fireplace and remove the glass retainer. Use
caution when removing broken glass to avoid
injury. When placing the replacement glass in
the door, make sure that the glass gasketing
will properly seal your unit. Replace the retainer
and tighten securely, but do not wrench down
on the glass as this may cause breakage. Do
not substitute materials. If your glass door
breaks, do not use your unit until it has been
replaced.
b. Remove the termination cap by removing
the screws and lifting.
c.
Make sure fireplace doors are shut to
prevent soot and dirt from entering the
loom.
d. Clean chimney with either nylon or steel
brush.
e. Replace chimney cap.
f.
Re-install baffles and secondary
tubes.
MAINTENANCE
Grease door hinges with high temperature
grease regularly for smooth operation and to
avoid squeaks.
Do not use any type of abrasive cleaner to
clean glass.
a. Remove the first secondary air tube and
baffles.
