Regency I2400 In a Mobile *Pics Added*

I have that stove but know nothing about mobile home installs. A quick browse of my owner's manual didn't say anything about mobile installs. I don't think it would draft very well without putting in a 6 in round chimney liner.

From the owners manual when installing in a factory built fireplace:
4) Installation must include a full height listed
chimney liner type HT requirements (2100
degree F.) per UL 1777 (U.S.) or ULC
S635 (Canada). The liner must be securely
attached to the insert fl ue collar and the
chimney top.
6) Alteration of the fi replace in any manner is not
permitted with the following exceptions;
a. external trim pieces which do not affect
the operation of the fi replace may be
removed providing they can be stored
on or within the fi replace for re-assembly
if the insert is removed.
b. the chimney damper may be removed
to install the chimney liner. (which means you cant go chopping up the fireplace to make room for this to fit)

On the brochure under features:
Standard Features Optional Features
• EPA Certified
• Single rod draft control
• Airwash system
• Brick-lined fire box
• Black convection grills
• Mobile home approved (I2400 only)

So it looks like if the insert will fit without removing any major parts of your fireplace, and you line the chimney to the top, you should be good to go. I would first contact your local AHJ and get a permit/inspection. Also notify your insurance company.

You can find the answers to your questions by visiting Regencys website and downloading the documents for the stove your looking to buy.

Just installed a buck stove 75zc in my mobile home cost me $1780 for the stove. Replace the pipe it is more than likely junk just like mine was that was hooked to our existing pre-fab fireplace.

Ok so i guess i need a liner. my current pipe is 8" and i am pretty sure the 2400 has a 6" outlet. How long of a liner do i need to get it to draft correctly? also which is a affordable brand of liner? called 2 places on the unit it self and there was a 600 dollar difference and their 50 miles from each other. crazy huh? anyways keep the info coming i'm takin it all in, hopefully it will all work out and i can finally save money on my electric bill.

For liner length, you need to line your current flue all the way up, and likely it needs to be insulated to meet the UL1777 spec. How long all the way up is depends on how tall your current chimney is

As for what the minimum acceptable chimney height is, give the manual a read - most call for at least 15 feet.

Bottom line - read the instructions for whatever product you use and follow what they say. They will say if they are suitable for relining a factory-built chimney, and how to do it.

Usually a ceramic-fibre blanket is wrapped around the liner before it is inserted into the chimney - but as I said, read the instructions, and do what they say. If you have a pro do the job, read the instructions, and make sure he does what they say.

If your pipe was like mine I think you would be better off just buying new stove pipe and forget trying to line it. My pipe size was 6 inch to the flue off the fireplace. Pipe surrounding that pipe was 10 inches if I remember correctly with no insulation. Replaced it with stainless insulated double wall.

That insert should work very well if you can get it properly installed. You should call Regency to see if it's rated to be installed in your fireplace. You will have to install a 6" flue. If it was me I would shop around online for a good price for stainless 6" flex and run it down inside your 8" pipe. You cannot change your fireplace in anyway other than removing trim, damper, etc. I reinforced underneath the bottom of mine since it seemed too flimsy to support such a heavy insert. Regency also makes a smaller model.
