STEEL STUD FRAMING KIT
DIMENSIONS
(TC42.FRKITB)
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 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
its 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, back and top of the replace can be framed in
up to the steel studs and the replace standoffs using con-
ventional lumber. 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" to the side of the fram-
ing edge bars. See Fig. #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.

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 inches opening centred at a minimum
height of 74-1/4 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. #52).
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 for any wall ter-
mination. With this minimal vertical rise in combination with a
90° elbow, a maximum horizontal run of 18 inches is permitted
(see Fig. #52 and 53). 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 g. #52. The horizontal run of vent should have a 1/4" rise
for every 1 ft. of run towards the termination.
HEARTH EXTENSION
While a hearth extension is not required
for this replace, one is recommended for
aesthetic reasons. The hearth extension
should be noncombustible and must not
be any more than 1" above the bottom of
the replace. If thicker, replace must be
raised up accordingly.
Caution: Hearth extensions thicker than
1" will interfere with the window frame.

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 Fig. #49.
Various combinations of vertical and horizontal runs may
be used. Refer to Fig. #52 and 53 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 COMBUSTI-
BLE 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.

TRIM TO LENGTH
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.

14 1/2" FRAMED
OPENING
* Minimum height from the oor to center of
the opening with a maximum horizontal run of
18" using TC vent. The height will need to be
increased with a longer horizontal run.
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 protrudes 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
building.
