General

This manual contains instructions about how

to assemble and install the Contura Ri50. Read

it carefully and keep it safe for future use. To

ensure the function and safety of the firebox, we

recommend that installation is carried out by an

authorized technician.

Application to local authority

Before installing a firebox or erecting a chimney,

it is necessary for you to make an application for

permission to your local authority. Ask your local

authority for advice regarding regulations and

the application.

Tested by OMNI-Test Laboratories

Report number: 0219WS023S

Tested to UL 1482-2011 (R2015) and

ULC S627-00.

Structural support

If the firebox is to be positioned on a wooden

joist, a structural engineer should evaluate the

load capacity of the floor. When the gross weight

exceeds 400kg (882lbs), reinforcement of the

wooden joists is usually necessary.

Hearth Pad

Due to the risk of falling embers, a flammable

floor must be protected by a hearth plate.

Walls behind

Your Contura Ri50 can be installed against a

masonry chimney either using the top venting

with an elbow or rear venting--see installation

sections. Or have a flush look on a combustible

wall with use of the optional Trim Kit.

Residential Installation

1. Please read this entire manual before you install and use your

new fireplace. 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 Contura fireplace. Consult the minimum

clearance chart for your model and set the fireplace in place. For

installation, use listed double wall connector systems only.

3. To ensure vertical alignment, suspend a plumb bob from the ceiling

over the exact center of your fireplace 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 fireplace to combustibles to

ensure that they are within the prescribed limits.

5. This fireplace must be connected to a UL 103 HT (ULC S629) listed

chimney or a code approved masonry chimney with a flue liner

listed to UL1777.

The fireplace is to be connected to a factory built chimney

conforming to CAN/ULC-5629 standard for 650C factory built

chimneys. The chimney requirement is 6" (152mm), refer to

appropriate sections in this manual for specifics.

6. Install chimney according to chimney manufacturers instructions.

The performance of your fireplace 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 fireplace. 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 base on the floor, then move the fireplace

aside and mark the position of the floor protector.

8. The floor protector must be of non-combustible material and must

extend 16” (406mm) in front and sides of the door opening and 8”

When this room heater is not properly installed, a house

fire may result. To reduce the risk of fire, follow the

installation instructions. Contact local building or fire

officials about restrictions and installation inspection

requirements in your area.

(203mm) 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, position the fireplace

with the flue collar centered under the installed chimney.

10. In areas with frequent seismic activity, Contura recommends

that your unit is secured to the floor by using the bolt down

holes inside the base (the same ones used in Mobile Home

installations).

11. Do not connect this unit to a chimney serving another

appliance.

12. 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.

13. Your Contura Fireplace is not to be connected to any air

distribution duct.

Room Air - Important

Fresh air is important - if heater is starved for air caused by

exhaust fans or icing, the unit will not operate properly.

CAUTION:

Do not alter or modify a chimney system or install.

Install as per Manual and Chimney manufacturer

specifications.

NOTE: In Canada, floor protection must extend 18"

(450mm) to the front, and 18" (450mm) on either side,

and 8" (203mm) to the back.

Perform a function check on the fireplace as follows:

Use the adjustable feet to level the fireplace. Check that the door

can be opened and closed.

The door runners are lubricated at the factory, with special

grease that can withstand high temperatures. This type of grease

is usually difficult to find on the market and we recommend

contacting a Regency or Contura dealer to order this special

grease when lubricating the runners.

Minimum

10 ft. (3,0 m)

Note: These are a generic set of chimney installation

instructions. Always follow the manufacturers

own instructions explicitly. Verify the Minimum

Recommended Heights for Fireplace Flue (Table 1 in the

Installation section).

Note: Increasing the chimney height above this minimum

level will sometimes help your unit to “breathe” better

by allowing a greater draft to be created. This greater

draft can decrease problems such as, difficult start-ups,

back-smoking when door is open, and dirty glass. It

might be sufficient to initially try with the minimum

required height, and then if problems do arise add

additional height at a later date.

4. Slide the roof flashing over your chimney and seal the flashing

to the roof with roofing compound. Secure the flashing to your

roof with nails or screws.

5. Place the storm collar over the flashing, sealing the joints with

a silicone caulking.

6. Fasten the raincap with spark screens (if required) to the top

of your chimney.

7. For optimum efficiency when installing into a masonry chimney,

size accordingly, i.e. the 6" (152mm) flue dia. is 28.28 sq.in.

Step-by-step chimney and

connector installation

1. With your location already established, cut and frame the roof

hole. It is recommended that no ceiling support member be cut

for chimney and support box installation. If it is necessary to

cut them, the members must be made structurally sound.

2. Install radiant shield and support from above.

3. Stack the insulated pipe onto your finish support to a minimum

height of 3 feet above the roof penetration, or 2 feet above any

point within 10 feet measured horizontally. There must be at

least 3 feet of chimney above the roof level.

should be as high as possible while still maintaining the 6"

(152mm) minimum distance from the horizontal connector to

the ceiling.

10. NOTE: Residential Close Clearance and Alcove installations

require a listed double wall connector from the fireplace

collar to the ceiling level.

The diagrams below illustrate one way to install your unit into a

standard ceiling or with a horizontal connector. Check with your

dealer or installer for information on other options available to

you.

installation

When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer's

installation instructions must be followed. You must also purchase

and install the ceiling support package or wall pass-through and

"T" section package, firestops (where needed), insulation shield,

roof flashing, chimney cap, etc. Maintain proper clearance to the

structure as recommended by the manufacturer. The chimney

must be the required height above the roof or other obstructions

for safety and proper draft operation.

Masonry Chimney

Ensure that a masonry chimney meets

the minimum standards of the National

Fire Protection Association (NFPA) by

having it inspected by a professional.

Make sure there are no cracks, loose

mortar or other signs of deterioration

and blockage. Have the chimney cleaned

before the fireplace is installed and

operated. When connecting the fireplace

through a combustible wall to a masonry

chimney, special methods are needed.

Masonry Fireplace

There are listed kits available to connect

a fireplace to a masonry fireplace. The

kit is an adapter that is installed at the

location of the fireplace damper. The

existing damper may have to be removed

to allow installation.

This unit is designed to use either a

5.5" (140mm) or 6" (152mm) flue liner

only within the confines of the masonry

chimney as shown.

Combustible wall chimney connector pass-throughs

Using a minimum thickness 3.5" (89 mm) brick and a 5/8" (15.9

mm) minimum wall thickness clay liner, construct a wall pass-

through. The clay liner must conform to ASTM C315 (Standard

Specification for Clay Fire Linings) or its equivalent. Keep a

minimum of 12" (304.8 mm) of brick masonry between the clay

liner and wall combustibles. The clay liner shall run from the brick

masonry outer surface to the inner surface of the chimney flue

liner but not past the inner surface. Firmly grout or cement the

clay liner in place to the chimney flue liner.

Using a 6" (152.4 mm) inside diameter, listed, factory-built

Solid-Pak chimney section with insulation of 1" (25.4 mm) or

more, build a wall pass-through with a minimum 9" (228.6 mm)

air space between the outer wall of the chimney length and wall

combustibles. Use sheet metal supports fastened securely to wall

surfaces on all sides, to maintain the 9" (228.6 mm) air space.

When fastening supports to chimney length, do not penetrate the

chimney liner (the inside wall of the Solid-Pak chimney). The inner

end of the Solid-Pak chimney section shall be flush with the inside

of the masonry chimney flue, and sealed with a non-water soluble

refractory cement. Use this cement to also seal to the brick

masonry penetration.

installation

Start with a solid-pak listed factory built chimney section at least

12" (304 mm) long, with insulation of 1" (25.4 mm) or more, and

an inside diameter of 8" (2 inches [51 mm] larger than the 6"

[152.4 mm] chimney connector). Use this as a pass-through for

a minimum 24-gage single wall steel chimney connector. Keep

solid-pak section concentric with and spaced 1" (25.4 mm) off the

chimney connector by way of sheet metal support plates at both

ends of chimney section. Cover opening with and support chimney

section on both sides with 24 gage minimum sheet metal supports.

See that the supports are fastened securely to wall surfaces on all

sides. Make sure fasteners are used to secure chimney flue liner.

Starting with a minimum 24 gage (.024" [.61 mm]) 6" (152.4 mm)

metal chimney connector, and a minimum 24 gage ventilated

wall thimble which has two air channels of 1" (25.4 mm) each,

construct a wall pass-through. There shall be a minimum 6"

(152.4) mm separation area containing fiberglass insulation,

from the outer surface of the wall thimble to wall combustibles.

Support the wall thimble, and cover its opening with a 24-gage

minimum sheet metal support. Maintain the 6" (152.4 mm) space.

There should also be a support sized to fit and hold the metal

chimney connector. See that the supports are fastened securely to

wall surfaces on all sides. Make sure fasteners used to secure the

metal chimney connector do not penetrate chimney flue liner.

3) Add 4% overall for each 1000' above sea level.

Example: a)

1-1/2 ft. of horizontal run = 3 ft.

one "T" = 3 ft.

Total Addition (at sea level) = 6 ft.

Example: b)

One 90 deg. elbow = 2 ft.

2 ft. of horizontal run = 4 ft.

one "T" = 3 ft.

Total Addition (at sea level) = 9 ft.

Simple rules on draft (refer to Table 1).

1) At sea level minimum height is 12' straight.

2) Add the following vertical height to compensate for:

45 deg. elbow = 1 ft.

90 deg. elbow = 2 ft.

"T" = 3 ft.

Each foot of horizontal run = 2 ft.
