Figure 7: TC36ST Standoffs.
The top standoffs are shipped loose inside the replace and must be installed on top of the replace (Figure 7). 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 (Figure 8). 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 fireplace to combustible surfaces must be adhered to as described in
Figure 2 & Figure 3.

Figure 9: TC36ST With supplied steel frame.
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
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 4 1/2 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 fram-
ing kit as per the instructions on pages 10
& 11 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-combusti-
ble backer board, such as cement board
or its equivalent, must be used to sheet
in the front of the replace, extending 12"
above and 9 3/4" to the side of the fram-
ing edge bars (Figure 10). 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 (Figure 12) be followed
closely.
Chase Insulation: When installing this
fireplace against a non-insulated exte-
rior wall or chase, it is recommended
that the outer walls be insulated to
same degree as other exterior walls.
Do not place fireplace 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 12 BEFORE
PROCEEDING.
IT IS HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED THAT
A FULL HEADER BE
INSTALLED ABOVE THE

If nishing the wall above the unit with
paint, the framing kit shipped with
the unit should be discarded. Use full
sheets of calcium silicate board or
equivalent and full length metal studs to
nish and frame around the unit.
Calcium silicate board is a high grade
material with cement, quartz and natural
minerals as the main raw materials.
(Note: Calcium Silicate is 1/2” thick)
CAUTION: Calcium Silicate board
can be damaged if dropped or struck.
Handle with care. Inspect board prior to
installation and do not use if cracked.
NOTE: It is recommended to pre-drill
mounting holes in the board prior to
securing to the framing. This will pre-
vent the board from cracking.

Fixed Lintel
The lintel on the TC42D2 is in a xed
position on the replace and there
is no adjustment to move the lintel
toward you or away from you once
the replace has been located in its
nal position. Instead, the replace
itself must be manoeuvered so that
the front face of the lintel determines
the nal position of the replace.
The Framing Kit allows for a 2 1/4
inch adjustment along the Framing
Brackets. Use this range to help
determine the front of the facing
material.
The thickness of the facing mate-
rial, wether 1/2 inch calcium silicate
board or a rock facing must be taken
into consideration before settling on
a nal position of the replace. See
See “Fireplace Facing Allowance” on
page 14.
Framing Kit Adjustment
There are six knock outs on top of the lintel (Figure 20). These knock outs should remain in place and not
knocked out during installation. The knock outs are for a future optional “TV KIT” which will allow a televi-
sion to be mounted above the replace while having the heat from the replace re-directed to a vent which
will be located above the TV.

This replace may be recessed up
to a maximum depth of 4 1/2”, this
recess must be constructed from
non-combustible material. The space
between the outside framing edge and
the rebox must be completely free
of any obstructions or debris and the
window, with trim tted, must be able
to move freely. No building material is
permitted to protrude past the framing
edges attached to the replace under
ANY circumstance.

Caution: While a hearth extension is not required and combustible ooring materials may be brought
directly up to the replace, many materials (such as wood ooring) may 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 safety screen and window frame when
opening.

NOTE:
When a signal has been supplied by the home automation system, the replace control
will repeat the signal every 2 hours or until a new command has been received.
The home automation feature supplied with this replace is capable
of controlling the ame and light on/off function with the use of a dry
contact relay common to home automation systems. Furthermore, the
ame and light level may be modulated from high to low using the
0 - 10 volt analog output available on most home automation
systems.

CAUTION: The gas line should be installed by a qualied service person in accordance with all 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.
Gas supply line access holes are located at the top and left sides 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 and pressure.
NOTE: A sediment trap, as per national fuel gas code, must be installed in the gas supply line no more than 6 feet
from the gas control valve to minimize the possibility of any loose scale or dirt within the gas supply line from
entering the control valve.
DO NOT HARD PIPE GAS LINE TO VALVE. A method of disconnecting the valve from the gas line such as a union
or flare fitting must be provided to allow for repair or replacement of the gas valve.
Check local codes for additional requirements.
1. Connect the gas supply to the connector (Figure 26).
2. Turn on the gas supply and check that all connections are tight and leak free.
Note: To test the gas pressure, turn off the gas supply before removing the plug
from the supply pressure test port or manifold pressure test port.
Verify gas pressures with the replace lit and on the highest setting.
Please refer to the Burner Installation Manual for gas pressure testing procedure.

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.
Having determined the position of the replace, cut and frame a 14 1/2 inch opening centered 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 installation. As the horizontal vent run increases, so does the minimum vertical rise (Figure 37).
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 1 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 32 1/2 inches is
permitted (Figure 37) & (Figure 38). For longer horizontal runs greater than 32 1/2 inches, increase vertical rise
appropriately.
The rise and run must be constrained to the boundaries of the chart shown in Figure 37. 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. See “Vent System Components” on
page 20.
NOTE: Optional Power Vents (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 See Figure 37 & See Figure 38 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 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
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.
