(TC36.BSFRKITA)
FRAMING AND FINISHING
Note: The replace should be in place and venting in-
stalled 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. 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 kits as per
their 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 and top of the replace can be framed in up to the
steel studs and the replace standoffs using conventional lum-
ber. 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 5 3/4" 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 Figure #15.
Various combinations of vertical and horizontal runs may be
used. Refer to Figure # 18 and 19 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 COMBUS-
TIBLE MATERIAL BE CLOSER THAN 1 3/4 INCHES FROM
THE SIDES AND BOTTOM AND 1 3/4 INCHES FROM
THE TOP OF A HORIZONTAL SECTIONS OF THE VENT
PIPE AND 1 3/4 INCHES FROM A VERTICAL SECTION
OF 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 61 inches above the oor. The opening may be round
or square. Height of the opening will vary with each instal-
lation. As the horizontal vent run increases, so does the
minimum vertical rise (see Fig. # 18).
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 1 foot length of pipe is required for any wall
termination. With this minimal vertical rise in combination
with a 90° elbow, a maximum horizontal run of 24 inches is
permitted. 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 #
18. The horizontal run of vent should have a 1/4" rise for every
1 ft. of run towards the termination.
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 trimmed,
the thimble should be ush with the outer wall surface.

VENT PIPE
ROOF TERMINATION VENTING
Ceiling and Roof 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
through 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 onto the collar on top
of the replace. Secure in place with screws and seal with ap-
proved "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.
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.
Fig. # 21
Size of the opening will have to increase with

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 in Fig. 26 for the correct position of restrictor
for the vent conguration of your installation. Restrictor posi-
tions are based upon lab tests. The ideal position may vary
slightly with installation.
Restrictor position is too closed if the ame has the following
characteristics:
- Flame is excessively tall and lifting.
- Flame lacks movement.
- Flame soots.
Restrictor position is too open if the ame has the following
characteristics:
- 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
MANUFACTURED (MOBILE) HOME
In some jurisdictions, the Town & Country Fireplace may
be installed in Manufactured Homes after the "rst sale".

GAS SUPPLY
Caution: The gas line should be installed by a qualied
serviceperson in accordancewithall building codes.This
section is intended as a guide for qualied technicians
installing this appliance. Consult local and/or national
building codes before proceeding.
A gas supply line access hole is located at the bottom right
side of the Control Box. Gas valve inlet accepts a 3/8" N.P.T.
tting. Correct gas line diameter must be used to assure
proper operation.
The gas control is equipped with a capture screw type pres-
sure test port, therefore it is not necessary to provide an 1/8
inch N.P.T. plugged tapping pressure port for checking gas
pressure immediately upstream of the gas supply connection
to the appliance.
Correct gas pressure requirement:
Natural Gas Propane
Min. Pressure 5.0" wc 12.5" wc
(For purpose of input adjustment)
Max. Pressure 13.9" wc 13.9" wc

WARNING: Do not connect 110 - 120 VAC to the gas
control valve or control wiring system of a unit equipped
with a Millivolt Valve.
Manual Millivolt Valve Only: No electrical connection is re-
quired for the gas system operation. The self-generating pilot
provides current for the remote wall switch or wall thermostat
(not provided).
The installation of a wall switch allows for manual remote
operation of replace, and automatic operation with a wall
thermostat. Use a switch or thermostat that is millivolt rated.
Position the wall switch or thermostat so that a minimum length
of wire is used from the switch to the replace. Use appropri-
ate wire gauge for length of wire. Connect the wall switch to
the valve as shown in gure #27.
