The top standoffs are shipped loose inside
the replace and must be installed on top
of the replace as shown in Fig #8. 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 #9). 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 #2 and Fig #3.

Note: The replace should be in place
and venting installed before framing in
or building an enclosure around the unit.
TheTown & 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 6
inches proud of the appliance.
The nishing material must not interfere
with glass frame access or movement.
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 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-combustible
backer board, such as cement board or its
equivalent, must be used to sheet in the front
of the replace, extending 18 3/4" above
and 5 " to the side of the framing edge bars.
(Fig #11) 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.#11a be followed closely..
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 #11a BEFORE
PROCEEDING.
NOTE:
The chase must be properly
sealed at the ceiling level or
between oors in a multilevel
installation.

Ceiling Opening:
1. Determine the exact position of the replace so that the vent pipe is centred (if
possible) between two building framing members. Lay out the vent system path,
minimizing 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 or roof where the vent system will
pass. Size of the opening in the roof may need to be increased as the pitch of the roof
increases. Avoid cutting rafters.
Ceiling Firestop:
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
into the collar on top of the replace.
Secure in place with screws and seal with
approved "High Temperature"
self-adhesive aluminium 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
12” above the roof. Vent pipe may need
to extend further depending on the roof
pitch. See chart on Fig #36a for precise
lengths.
Seal the vent pipe as per "Vent Pipe Sealant"
section. Fig #37.
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.
Size of the opening will have to
increase with the pitch of the
roof to ensure a 1 3/4" inch air
space clearance between vent
pipe and combustibles.
