Figure 8: TC30 Common locations.
The top standoffs are shipped loose inside the replace and must be installed on top of the replace as shown in Figure 7.
Do this once the replace is on site and in position.
In planning the installation for the replace, it is necessary to determine where the unit is to be installed, location of vent
system and where gas supply piping may be plumbed. Various installations are possible, such as, into an existing wall, a
corner, a built-in wall or a wall projection (Figure 8). Due to high temperatures, do not locate this replace in areas of high
traffic or near furniture or draperies.
The minimum clearances from the replace to combustible surfaces must be adhered to and are shown in Figures 2 & 3.

Figure 9: TC30 Framing kit dimensions.
Note: The replace should be in place
and venting installed before framing
in or building an enclosure around the
unit.
The Town & Country replace 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 or movement.
A Steel Stud Framing Kit is supplied with
the replace and must be used unless the
Fireplace is totally enclosed with
noncombustible material. Assemble the
framing kit as per the instructions on pages
11 & 12 of this manual. 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, back and top of the replace
can be framed in up to the steel studs and
the replace standoffs using conventional
lumber. Consult local building codes for
specic requirements.
Due to high temperatures,non-combustible
backer board, such as cement board or it’s
equivalent must be used to sheet in the
front of the replace, extending 12" above
and 5 7/8" to the side of the framing edge
bars (Figure 11). Standard sheet rock (dry
wall) may be used beyond this.
If the backer board is not to be nished
with other non-combustible material such
as tiles, it is recommended that the instruc-
tions in (Figure 13) be followed closely.
Chase Insulation: When installing this re-
place 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 bar-
rier with a solid surface, such as dry
wall (sheet rock). Consult local codes.
Do not insulate or use plastic vapour
barrier within the framing kit.
CAUTION: SEE (Figure 13) BEFORE
PROCEEDING.

Use full sheets of calcium silicate board
OR EQUIVALENT and full length metal
studs to nish and frame around the unit.
Calcium silicate board is a high grade
material with cement, quartz and natural
minerals as the main raw materials.
(Note: Calcium Silicate is 1/2” thick)
CAUTION: Calcium Silicate board
can be damaged if dropped or struck.
Handle with care. Inspect board prior to
installation and do not use if cracked.
NOTE: It is recommended to pre-drill
mounting holes in the board prior to

Caution: While a hearth extension is not required and combustible oor-
ing materials may be brought directly up to the replace, many materials
(such as wood ooring) may not tolerate the radiant heat from this re-
place, resulting in discoloration, shrinking and cracking. For this reason,
we suggest a non-combustible hearth that is no more than 1” above the
bottom of the replace. If thicker, replace must be raised accordingly.
Caution: Hearth extensions thicker than 1” will interfere with the window
frame when opening.

The NV / PV (Natural Vent / Power Vent) switch (Figure 28) on the
interface board (Figure 24) is set according to which type of evacuating
vent system is present. If the replace is vented without the assistance
of a power vent, the switch should be set to “NV”. If using a power vent,
“PV” should be selected. Follow the instructions provided with the power
vent kit for proper installation.

Selecting Natural Vent and Power Vent Modes
Wall Switch and Remote Control

NOTE:
• Digital I/O must be connected to a dry contact relay.
• Analog ame and light input through 0 - 10 volt DC signal
scaled as follows:
Low = 1 volt
High = 10 volts
NOTE:
When a signal has been supplied by the home automation system, the replace control
will repeat the signal every 2 hours or until a new command has been received.
The home automation feature supplied with this replace is capable of con-
trolling the ame and light on/off function with the use of a dry contact relay
common to home automation systems. Furthermore, the ame and light level
may be modulated from high to low using the 0 - 10 volt analog output avail-
able on most home automation systems.
(Figure 30) shows the wire designations required to connect the replace to
a home automation system.

Verify gas pressures with the replace lit and on the highest setting.
Please refer to the Burner Installation Manual for gas pressure testing procedure.
Caution: The gas line should be installed by a qualied service person in accordance with all building codes.
This section is intended as a guide for qualied technicians installing this appliance. Consult local and / or
national building codes before proceeding.
• Gas supply line access holes are located at the top and left sides of the Control Box. Gas valve inlet
accepts a 3/8" N.P.T. tting. Correct gas line diameter must be used to assure proper operation and pres-
sure.
• NOTE: A sediment trap, as per national fuel gas code, must be installed in the gas supply line no more than
6 feet from the gas control valve to minimize the possibility of any loose scale or dirt within the gas supply
line from entering the control valve.
• DO NOT HARD PIPE GAS LINE TO VALVE. A method of disconnecting the valve from the gas line such as
a union or are tting must be provided to allow for repair or replacement of the gas valve.
Check local codes for additional requirements.
1. Connect the gas supply to the gas connector (Figure 24).
2. Turn on the gas supply and check that all connections are tight and leak free.
WARNING: The access panel including gasket must be
reinstalled after conversion/installation or servicing has
been completed. Failure to do so will cause overheating
and premature failure of the control system.

Gas Pressure Check

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.
Having determined the position of the replace, cut and frame a 14 1/2 inch opening centred at a minimum height of 52 7/16
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 (Figure 36).
IMPORTANT: When locating the opening, it should be noted that vent terminal clearances must be maintained. (See “Vent
Terminal Clearance” on page 26) section for proper clearances.
A minimum 1 foot length of pipe is required before the rst elbow off the top of the replace for any wall termination.
With this minimum vertical rise in combination with a 90° elbow, a maximum horizontal run of 24 inches past the elbow is
permitted See (Figure 35) & (Figure 36). For longer horizontal runs increase vertical rise appropriately.
The rise and run must be constrained to the boundaries of the chart shown in (Figure 36). The horizontal run of vent must
have a 1/4" rise for every 1 ft. of run towards the termination.
CAUTION: UNDER NO CONDITION SHOULD COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL BE CLOSER THAN
1 ¾ INCHES FROM THE TOP AND 1 ¾ INCHES FROM THE SIDES OF A HORIZONTAL SECTION
AND 1 ¾ INCHES FROM THE VERTICAL SECTIONS OF THE VENT PIPE.
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 34).
Various combinationsof vertical and horizontalruns may beused.Refer to (Figure36) & (Figure37) fordetails.For optimumperformance
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 with provided high temperature self adhesive
tape. A horizontal run of vent should have a 1/4” rise for every 1 ft. of run towards the termination.
VENT SUPPORTS: A minimum of 1 support every 4’ must be used.

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 adjusted, the thimble should be ush with the outer wall
