KIT ATTACHED. BOTH FACES
MUST BE FRAMED WITH
THE STEEL STUD FRAMING
KIT SUPPLIED WITH THE
FIREPLACE.
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 en-
closed 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 kit as per the instructions on pages
10 & 11 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 is supplied with the replace
and must be used to sheet in the front of the
replace, extending 12" above and 7 1/2" to
the side of the framing edge bars. (Fig #9)
Standard sheet rock (dry wall) 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 dry wall (sheet rock). Consult local
codes. Do not insulate or use plastic vapour
barrier within the framing kit.

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 proceed-
ing. 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. #35).
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 off the top of the replace for any wall termina-
tion. With this minimum vertical rise in combination with a 90° elbow, a maximum horizontal
run of 32 1/2 inches is permitted (see Fig. #35 and 36). For longer horizontal runs greater
than 32 1/2 inches, increase vertical rise appropriately.
The rise and run must be constrained to the boundaries of the chart shown in Fig. #35. The
horizontal run of vent must have a 1/4" rise for every 1 ft. of run towards the termination.
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 Fig. #33.
NOTE: Optional Power Vent (TCVT.PVB) requires different venting. Please refer to
Power Vent manual.
Various combinations of vertical and horizontal runs may be used. Refer to Fig. #35 and
36 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 with 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.
CAUTION: UNDER NO CONDITION SHOULD COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL BE CLOSER
THAN 1 3/4 INCHES FROM THE TOP AND 1 3/4 INCHES FROM THE SIDES OF A
HORIZONTAL SECTION AND 1 3/4 INCHES FROMTHE VERTICAL SECTIONS OFTHE

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.
Adjust the replace position so that the vent pipe does not protrude beyond the outer
wall.The vent connector on the termination will accomodate walls up to 12" thick.
Wall vent terminal:
1) Engage the terminal with the vent pipe and slide terminal into place. Ensure that both
inner and outer pipes are fully engaged and then 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.
NOTE: MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO THE VENT TERMINAL MUST BE MAINTAINED
(see Fig. #40 & 41).

NOTE: The vent must not exceed a total length of 68 feet.
Any combination of rise and run may be used but must be
constrained to the boundaries of this chart. A total of 3
90° elbows or combination of other elbows equalling 90°
can be used without reducing horizontal run. For each
additional 90° elbow, or an equal combination of elbows,
reduce horizontal vent run by 2 feet. Ensure vent pipe is
properly supported.
** All dimensions are approximate.
Both rise and run may vary with different combinations of pipe.
