The Town & Country Fireplace installation and venting must conform to the current
CAN/CGA-B149 installation code (in Canada) or the current National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1 (in the USA), and approved per local codes. Only qualied (licensed or
trained) personnel should install this product.
In the state of Massachusetts, only a licensed Plumber and Gas Fitter may install
this product.
In some jurisdictions, the Town & Country Fireplace may be installed in Manufactured Homes
after the "rst sale". Consult local codes for approval. The replace must be fastened
in place.
Install in accordance with the current standard Mobile Homes, CAN/CSA Z240 MH (in
CANADA), and the Manufacturer's Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR,
Part 3280 or the current Standard for Fire Safety Criteria for Manufactured Home Installa-
tions, Sites and Communities ANSI/NFPA 501A (in the USA).
Warning: Turn off the replace, and allow ample time for the unit to cool before
proceeding.
Caution: The ceramic glass is very fragile, and should be handled with care.
The window frame is held in place by two spring-loaded latches that are operated by a
one-piece latch handle.
1. Remove safety barrier screen (Fig #5) by prying the top portion of the screen toward
you , then lift the screen from its tabs (inset) located at the base of the window frame.
2. Remove the TC Finishing Touch Trim Kit from the window frame. (If installed)
3. Using a screwdriver (Fig #6) or other similar object, push against the notch in the top of
the latch and grab the bottom of the latch handle as it protrudes (Fig #7). Lift handle until
latch hook disengages. Repeat for other side while holding glass so it does not tip out.
4. Tilt the top of the window frame out to clear the top edge of the unit. Grasp
the sides of the frame and lift up and out to disengage from its bottom track.
5. Place the window frame in a safe place to avoid damage.
6. Re-assemble in reverse order. Latch handle should snap into place and be ush with
window frame when engaged correctly.
7. Reinstall Trim Kit if required.

The top standoffs are shipped loose inside
the replace and must be installed on top
of the replace as shown in Fig #9. 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 (Fig #10). 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 Figs 1 through #4.

Locating The Fireplace
Top Standoffs

IT IS HIGHLY RECOMENDED
THAT A FULL HEADER BE
INSTALLED ABOVE THE
METAL FRAMING KIT
50 1/4"
48 1/16"
Note: The replace should be in place
and venting installed before framing in
or building an enclosure around the unit.
TheTown & 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.
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 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 its
equivalent, must be used to sheet in the front
of the replace, extending 12" above and 5
9/16" to the side of the framing edge bars.
(Fig #14) 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 top sections of the board
be a single sheet of calcium silicate board
or its equivalent. Taped and mudded joints
may crack due to the elevated temperatures.
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.
CAUTION: SEE FIGURE #14a BEFORE
PROCEEDING.

not tolerate the radiant heat from this replace, 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.

Gas Pressure Check

Exterior wall opening:
Determine the exact position of the replace so that the vent pipe is centered (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 14½inch opening
centered at a minimum height of 68½inches 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. #38).
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 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. #38 and 39). 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. #38.
The horizontal run of vent must have a ¼" 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. #34.
NOTE:Optional PowerVents (TCVT.PVI.25,TCVT.PV7.110 &TCVT.PVCV) require different
venting. Please refer to Power Vent manuals.
Various combinations of vertical and horizontal runs may be used. Refer to Fig. #36 and
37 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 provided
high temperature self adhesive tape.A horizontal run of vent should have a ¼" 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.
