Window Frame Removal

The top standoffs are shipped loose inside
the replace and must be installed on top of
the replace as shown in Fig #10. 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 #11). 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 Fig #6 and Fig #7.

IT IS HIGHLY RECOMEND-
ED THAT A FULL HEADER
BE INSTALLED ABOVE THE
METAL FRAMING KIT
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.
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 fram-
ing kit as per the instructions on pages 12 &
13 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 #13) 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 instructions in
Fig.#13a be followed closely.
Fabricate and install appropriate ashing to
local building code.
Note: Installing unit without ashing
installed will void the warranty
Note: Provide proper drainage to divert
water underneath the unit
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 #13a BEFORE
PROCEEDING.

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 14 1/2 inch opening
centered 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. #34).
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. #34). 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. #34. 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. #32.
Various combinations of vertical and horizontal runs may be used. Refer to Fig. #34 and
35 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 FROM THE VERTICAL SECTIONS OF THE
VENT PIPE.

WALL THIMBLE AND VENT MUST NOT PROTRUDE BEYOND SIDING
Fig. #30
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.

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).
