FRAMING AND FINISHING
Note: The replace should be in place and venting
installed 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. Finishing
material must not interfere with glass frame access or
operation. The gap between the frame and the top and
side lintel bars must be maintained for proper operation
of the window latching mechanism.
A Steel Stud Framing Kit is supplied with the replace and
must be used unless the replace is totally enclosed with
non-combustible material. Assemble the framing kit as per
it's 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, back and top of the replace can be framed in
up to the steel studs and the replace standoffs using con-
ventional lumber. 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 4 1/2" 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.

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 Fig. #49.
NOTE: Optional PowerVent (TCVT.PVA) requires different
venting. Please refer to Power Vent manual.
Various combinations of vertical and horizontal runs may
be used. Refer to Fig. #52 and 53 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 COMBUSTI-
BLE 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 FROM THE
VERTICAL SECTIONS OF THE VENT 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 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 68 1/2 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. #52).
IMPORTANT: When locating the opening, it should be
noted that vent terminal clearances must be maintained.
See "Vent Terminal Clearances" section for proper clear-
ances.
A minimum 2 foot length of pipe is required 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 18 inches is permitted (see Fig. #52 and 53). 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 Fig. #52. The horizontal run of vent must have
a 1/4" rise for every 1 ft. of run towards the termination.
HEARTH EXTENSION
While a hearth extension is not required
for this replace, one is recommended
for aesthetic reasons. The hearth
extension should be noncombustible
and must not be any more than 1"
above the bottom of the replace. If
thicker, replace must be raised up
accordingly.
Caution: Hearth extensions thicker
than 1" will interfere with the window
frame.

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 surface.
