(TC36.BSFRKITA)
FRAMING AND FINISHING
Note: The replace should be in place and venting in-
stalled before framing in or building an enclosure around
the unit.
The Town & Country Fireplace must be framed in as described
below or totally enclosed with non-combustible material, such
as facing brick.
Determine the total thickness of facing material to be used.
A thickness of 3/4" will allow the nishing surface to be ush
with the front of the unit. If preferred, additional masonry type
non-combustible material can be installed above and to the
sides up to 6 inches proud of the appliance. The nishing
material must not interfere with glass frame access.
Two Steel Stud Framing Kits are supplied with the replace
and must be used unless the replace is totally enclosed with
non-combustible material. Assemble the framing kits as per
their instructions. Attach the steel frame to the replace once
the replace is in its nal position. Secure the steel frame to
the framing brackets on each side of the unit. Ensure that
the studs are set back far enough to allow for thickness of
nishing surface.
The sides and top of the replace can be framed in up to the
steel studs and the replace standoffs using conventional lum-
ber. Consult local building codes for specic requirements.
Due to high temperatures, concrete board is supplied with
the replace and must be used to sheet in the front of the
replace, extending 12" above and 5 3/4" to the side of the
framing edge bars. See gure #7. Standard sheetrock (drywall)
may be used beyond this.
Chase Insulation: When installing this replace against a
non-insulated exterior wall or chase, it is recommended that the
outer walls be insulated to same degree as other exterior walls.
Do not place replace directly against the insulation. Cover the
insulation and plastic vapour barrier with a solid surface, such
as drywall (sheetrock). Consult local codes. Do not insulate
or use plastic vapour barrier within the framing kit.

HEARTH EXTENSION
While a hearth extension is not required
for this replace, one is recommended for
aesthetic reasons. The hearth extension
should be non-combustible and must not
be any more than 1" above the bottom of
the replace. If thicker, replace must be
raised up accordingly.
Caution: Hearthextensions thicker than
1" will interfere with the window frame.
VENTING
Before installing venting for this unit, the installer should read
these instructions to insure that the proper vent conguration
has been selected.
Use only Town and Country Termination kits #:
TCVT.WTA - Wall Termination Kit
TCVT.RTA - Roof Termination Kit
Vent system components approved for use with the Town and
Country Fireplace are shown in Figure #35.
Various combinations of vertical and horizontal runs may be
used. Refer to Figure # 39 and 40 for details. For optimum
performance and ame appearance, keep the vent length
to a minimum and limit the number of elbows. Connections
between each vent system component must be tightly joined,
secured with sheet metal screws and sealed. A horizontal run
of vent should have a 1/4" rise for every 1 ft. of run towards
the termination.
CAUTION: UNDER NO CONDITION SHOULD COMBUS-
TIBLE MATERIAL BE CLOSER THAN 1 3/4 INCHES FROM
THE SIDES AND BOTTOM AND 1 3/4 INCHES FROM
THE TOP OF A HORIZONTAL SECTIONS OF THE VENT
PIPE AND 1 3/4 INCHES FROM A VERTICAL SECTION
OF PIPE.

WALL TERMINATION VENTING
Exterior wall opening:
Determine the exact position of the replace so that the vent pipe is centred
(if possible) between two building framing members. Consult your local
building codes prior to proceeding. The vent kit will accommodate up to
a maximum wall thickness of 12 inches.
1) Having determined the position of the replace, cut and frame a 14-
1/2 inch opening centred at a minimum height of 61 inches above the
oor. The opening may be round or square. Height of the opening will
vary with each installation. As the horizontal vent run increases, so
does the minimum vertical rise (see Fig. # 39).
IMPORTANT: When locating the opening, it should be noted that
vent terminal clearances must be maintained. See "Vent Terminal
Clearances" section for proper clearances.
A minimum 1 foot length of pipe is required for any wall termination. With
this minimal vertical rise in combination with a 90° elbow, a maximum
horizontal run of 24 inches is permitted. For longer horizontal runs greater
than 18 inches, increase vertical rise appropriately. The rise and run
must be constrained to the boundaries of the chart shown in g. # 39.
The horizontal run of vent should have a 1/4" rise for every 1 ft. of run
towards the termination.
Wall thimble:
Where a vent pipe passes through a combustible wall, a wall thimble/shield
must be used to retain insulation and maintain proper clearances. The wall
thimble may be cut to length for various wall thicknesses up to 12" thick.
Measure the wall thickness including the siding. Trim the shield to match
the wall thickness. Position the wall thimble from inside through the 14-
1/2" opening. Properly trimmed, the thimble should be ush with the outer
wall surface.

Vent pipe:
Install vent pipe through the wall thimble and attach to ue
outlet collar on top of the replace. Secure all joints with
screws and seal with approved "High Temp." self-adhesive
aluminum tape provided.
The replace position may need to be adjusted to ensure
that the vent pipe does not protrude beyond the outer wall
or be recessed any more than 12 inches.
Wall vent terminal:
1) Engage the 8" vent collar with the vent pipe and slide
terminal into place. Attach the terminal to the outside
wall. The vent terminal must not be recessed into the
exterior wall or siding.
2) Caulk in place to prevent any moisture entering the
building.

ROOF TERMINATION VENTING
Ceiling and Roof opening:
1) Determine the exact position of the replace so that the
vent pipe is centered (if possible) between two building
framing members. Lay out the vent system path, minimiz-
ing the number of elbows and length of vent. Consult your
local building codes prior to proceeding.
2) Cut and frame a 14-1/2" opening in the oor, ceiling and
roof where the vent system will pass. Size of the opening
through the roof may need to be increased as the pitch of
the roof increases. Avoid cutting rafters.
Ceiling restop:
Where a vent pipe passes through a oor or ceiling, a ceiling
restop must be used to retain insulation and maintain proper
clearances.
From below, push the ceiling restop through the opening
and secure in place. If the restop is used to penetrate a
oor, the outer shield may be trimmed in length. If the restop
penetrates into an attic, leave the shield full length to keep
insulation away from the vent pipe. Additionally, after the vent
pipe is in place, install a storm collar on top of the shield. This
will prevent loose insulation from falling into the area between
the vent pipe and the shield.
Vent pipe:
1) Install the rst section of vent pipe onto the collar on top
of the replace. Secure in place with screws and seal with ap-
proved "High Temp" self-adhesive aluminum tape provided.
2) Continue adding vent pipe lengths up and through the
restop(s) and through the roof. The vent pipe must extend
at least 24" above the roof.
Seal the vent pipe as per "Vent Pipe Sealant" section.
Roof support bracket:
Slip the roof support bracket down over the vent pipe. Rotate
the 90° brackets to accommodate roof pitch. Attach the brackets
to the roof joists with nails or building screws. Tighten the band
around the vent pipe and secure in place with screws.
