Regency install
Last Sunday I finally finished installing my Regency F1100 (1.4cu.ft fire box, 55K BTU). Some of you may remember I picked up the stove and hearth pad last fall, from an as on Craig’s list for the sum of $250.
Here are some pics of the install, all and all it went quite well, no major problems to speak of. The forum was a great help as it provided much information, pics and examples.
I purchased the chimney components online form Dynamite buys, their pricing was quite good and free shipping.
When framing the support box, I had to use a hydraulic jack to push back one of the ceiling joist as it was somewhat warped. I used wood screws for everything so I could make adjustments if necessary. This turned out to be a good idea as a few things need some minor repositioning.
Support box installed. I used some scrap wood screwed to the ceiling to hold the box in place.
I installed the 4’ chimney pipe and used a level placed against the outside of the pipe to mark the hole in the roof, then I drilled a bunch of 3/8 holes. I then used a sawzall to cut the hole in the roof. I had to go back and enlarge the hole in a few places to achieve the required 2” clearance.
I pried up the shingles on the upper half of the roof hole and installed the flashing; I used some polyurethane roof caulk to seal the flashing. I sealed up the storm collar with hi temp silicone and installed the cap, chimney was done.
On the inside I used Simson DVL double wall pipe, I used a telescoping section and 2 45* elbows to position the stove where I wanted it. It went together with no problems.
I am quite pleased with the result, and the price was right, the complete install, stove and chimney cost just over $1000.
All that’s left now is to have the stove inspected.
