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 qualified (licensed or trained) personnel should install this product.
In the state of Massachusetts, only a licensed Plumber and Gas Fitter may install this product.
Warning: Turn off the fireplace, and allow ample time for the unit to cool before proceeding.
Caution: The ceramic glass is very fragile, and should be handled with care.
The window frame is held in place by two spring-loaded latches that are operated by a one-piece latch handle.
1. Remove the stainless steel trim (one piece).
2. Using a screwdriver or other similar object, push against the notch in the top of the latch and grab the bottom of the
latch handle as it protrudes. Lift handle until latch hook disengages. Repeat for other side while holding glass so it
does not tip out.
3. Tilt the top of the window frame out to clear the top edge of the unit. Grasp the sides of the frame and lift up and out
to disengage from its bottom track.
4. Place the window frame in a safe place to avoid damage.
5. Re-assemble in reverse order. Latch handle should snap into place and be ush with window frame when engaged
correctly.
TIP:
To ensure glass is properly latched, grasp the top left and right sides of the glass frame, under
moderate pressure it should pull forward and return to original position evenly on both sides.

EXAMPLES OF COMMON LOCATIONS
SEE FIG 1 FOR DIMENSIONS
Figure 7: Common locations.
The top standoffs are shipped loose inside the replace and must be installed on top of the replace (Figure 6). 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 7). 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 and are shown in Figure
2 and Figure 3.

Locating The Fireplace
Top Standoffs

Note: The fireplace 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 fac-
ing 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 inter-
fere 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 the
instructions on page 11 & page
12 of this manual. Attach the steel
frame to the replace once the re-
place 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 re-
place 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, calcium silicate board
(Figure 10) or its equivalent, must be
used to sheet in the front of the re-
place, extending 12" above and 5 1/2"
to the side of the framing edge bars
(Figure 9). Standard sheet rock (dry
wall) may be used beyond this. Taped
and mudded joints may crack due
to the elevated temperatures.
Fabricate and install appropriate ash-
ing 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 exte-
rior 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 10 before
proceeding

Figure 21: Hearth details.
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, replaced must be raised accordingly.
Caution: Hearth extensions thicker than 1” will interfere with the window frame.
This replace may be recessed up
to a maximum depth of 6”. This
recess must be constructed from
non combustible material. The space
between the outside lintels and the
rebox must be completely free of
any debris and the window with
trim tted must be able to move
freely. No building material is permit-
ted to protrude past the lintel bars
attached to the replace under ANY
circumstance.

• It is essential that a union or anged connection be installed just upstream of the valve and inside the control com-
partment to allow for repair or replacement of the gas valve.
Check local codes for additional requirements.
1. Connect the gas supply to the gas valve (Figure 26).
2. Turn on the gas supply and check that all connections are tight and leak free.
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
Manifold Pressure
Maximum 3.8" WC 11" WC
Minimum 2.1" WC 5.5" WC
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 fireplace lit and on the highest setting.
Please refer to the Burner Installation Manual for gas pressure testing procedure.
WARNING: The access panel including gasket must be reinstalled after conversion / installation or servicing
has been completed. Failure to do so will cause overheating and premature failure of the control system.

Note: This fireplace comes with a pre installed Honeywell pilot. When installing the burner assembly, remove the
pilot that came attached to the burner and discard.
DO NOT USE ANY OTHER PILOT WITH YOUR OUTDOOR UNIT OTHER THAN THE HONEYWELL PILOT THAT CAME
INSTALLED IN THE FIREPLACE.
1. Using the valve conversion kit that came in the instruction pack, convert the valve to propane following the instruc-
tions provided with the kit (Figure 28).
2. Remove the compression tting from the bottom of the orice housing and gently tap the pilot in your hand. The
natural gas orice should fall out (Figure 29).
3. Insert the propane orice (Figure 30) that came in your instruction pack as shown into the orice housing and reat-
tach the pilot to the compression tting and pilot tube.

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 centred at a minimum height of
74 1/4 inches above the oor (Figure 34). 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 Figure 35.
IMPORTANT: When locating the opening, it should be noted that vent terminal clearances must be maintained.
See “Vent Terminal Minimum Clearances” on page 25 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 verti-
cal rise in combination with a 90° elbow, a maximum horizontal run of 18 inches is permitted (See Figure 35). 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 Figure 35. 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 ensure that the proper vent congura-
tion 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. #33.
Various combinations of vertical and horizontal runs may be used. See Figure 35 and See Figure 36 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:
Where a vent pipe passes through a combustible wall, a wall thimble/shield must be used to retain insulation and main-
tain 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 fireplace 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 Figure 40 and Figure 41
