The top standoffs are shipped loose inside
the replace and must be installed on top of
the replace as shown in Fig 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 (Fig 7). 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 fac-
ing 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 nish-
ing material must not interfere with glass
frame access.
A Steel Stud Framing Kit is supplied with the
replace and must be used unless the re-
place is totally enclosed with non-combustible
material.Assemble the framing kit as per the
instructions on page 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 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
18 3/4" above and 5 7/8" to the side of the
framing edge bars.(Fig 7) Standard sheet rock
(dry wall) 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 dry wall (sheet rock). Consult local
codes. Do not insulate or use plastic vapour
barrier within the framing kit.

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 proceed-
ing.
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 pen-
etrates 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 ap-
proved "HighTemperature" 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
24" above the roof.
Seal the vent pipe as per "Vent Pipe Seal-
ant" section.
Roof Support Bracket:
Slip the roof support bracket down over the
vent pipe. Rotate the 90° brackets to accom-
modate 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.
