INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
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.
Fig. # 4 TOP
STANDOFFS
Fig. # 5 Examples of Common Locations
TOP STANDOFFS
The top standoffs are shipped loose inside the replace and
must be installed on top of the replace as shown in g. #4.
Do this once the replace is on site and in position.
LOCATING THE FIREPLACE
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. Vari-
ous installations are possible, such as, into an existing wall,
a corner, a built-in wall or a wall projection (see Fig. #5). Due
to high temperatures, do not locate this replace in areas of
high trafc or near furniture or draperies.
The minimum clearances from the replace to combustible
surfaces are shown on Fig. # 2 and 3.
CAUTION: When selecting a location, ensure
that there is adequate room on the right hand
or left hand side of the replace for the control
box.

6 TC36_B 270904-40
FRAMING AND FINISHING
Note: The replace must be in place and venting installed
before framing in or building an enclosure around the
unit.
The Town & Country Fireplace may be framed in with build-
ing materials (wood and steel studs) or totally enclosed with
non-combustible material, such as facing brick.
Determine the total thickness of facing material to be used.
A total 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.
Once the replace is in its nal position, frame metal studs to
the insides of 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. Secure replace to steel studs
with screws. Frame in a steel header directly above the lintel
bar. Additional steel support studs can be added above the
header up to the ceiling.
The sides, back and top of the replace can be framed in
up to the standoffs using conventional 2 x 4 lumber. Heavier
construction may be required for some installations, consult
local building codes for specic requirements.
Due to high temperatures, concrete board (or other non-
combustible material) must be used to sheet in the front of
the replace, extending 12" above and 1 1/2" to the side of
the framing edge bars. See gure #8. 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.

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.

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. #24).
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 for any wall termi-
nation. With this minimum vertical rise in combination with a
90° elbow, a maximum horizontal run of 18 inches is permitted
(see Fig. #24 and 25). 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 gure #24. The horizontal run of vent must have
a 1/4" rise for every 1 ft. of run towards the termination.

270904-40 TC36_B 13
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 build-
ing.

VENT PIPE
ROOF TERMINATION VENTING
Ceiling 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
in 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 into the collar on top of the
replace. Secure in place with screws and seal with approved
"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 before
wrapping with insulation. Wrap the pipe with foil-back insulation
provided. Insulation must cover vent pipe from the replace
collar to the rst Ceiling Firestop. Tape all insulation joints with
High Temperature aluminum tape provided.
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.

VENT RESTRICTOR ADJUSTMENT
The vent restrictor is located on the underside of the rebox
top. The unit leaves the factory with the vent restrictor wide
open. The restrictor is built into the appliance for secondary
air ow adjustment. Adjustment enables tuning the airow
for optimum ame appearance and performance for a wide
variety of vent congurations.
Setting:
- determine the vent height
- determine the vent horizontal length
- from the chart determine the restrictor position
Refer to the chart and Fig. 32 for the correct position of restric-
tor for the vent conguration of your installation. Restrictor
positions are based upon lab tests. The ideal position may
vary slightly with installation.
Restriction is too much if the ame has the following char-
acteristics:
- Flame is excessively tall and lifting.
- Flame lacks movement.
- Flame soots.
Restriction is too little if the ame has the following charac-
teristics:
- Flame height is low.
- Flame has excessive movement.
To adjust the restrictor:
- Loosen the screw holding the restrictor.
- Push the restrictor back to its intended opening.
- Tighten the screw
