Window Frame Removal

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.
The Town & Country replace must be
framed in as described below or totally en-
closed 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
#9) 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.#9a 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 #9a BEFORE
PROCEEDING.
NOTE:
The chase must be properly
sealed at the ceiling level or
between oors in a multilevel
installation.

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.
• This replace has two gas controls and gas lines must be run to both by the installer in
order for the replace to operate correctly.
• 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.
• The replace has an input rate of 83,700 BTU/HR on both Natural Gas and Propane
• 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 are tting 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 valve (Fig. #19)
2. Turn on the gas supply and check that all connections are tight and leak free.
WARNING: Use EXTREME CAUTION when using soap and water to do
a leak test on the valve/ttings. There are electronics around and
below the valve, that can/will be damaged if they come in contact
with water.
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.
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 3.4" WC 11" WC
Minimum 1.8" 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.
There are four ports on this replace. The top two are connected to the rear burner
and the bottom two are to the front burner. Manifold pressures should be checked on
both to ensure they are correct.
Verify gas pressures with the replace lit and on the highest setting.
Please refer to the Burner Installation Manual for gas pressure testing procedure.

Vent System Town &
Components Country Code
This unit can be vented horizontally (wall termination) ONLY with an approved
High Capacity Power Vent Kit (TCVT.PVAX2) using TC 8x11 Vent Pipe.
Please use the instructions provided with the optional High Capacity Power
Vent Kit when planning any installation where a horizontal termination is
required.
Before installing vertical venting (roof termnation) 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 kit:
TCVT.RTA - Roof Termination Kit
Vent system components approved for use with the Town and Country Fireplace are shown
in Fig 26.

Roof Termination Venting Chart

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 Sealant"
section. Fig #32.
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.

Roof Vent Terminal:
1. Place the roof ashing over the vent pipe, secure and seal it to the roof using the
methods and materials appropriate for the type of roof on the building. Shingle roof
example shown (Fig #30)
2. Place the storm collar down over the vent pipe until it is level. Tighten storm collar for
a snug t. Apply a thick horizontal ring of mastic around the pipe at top of the storm
collar. (Fig #30)
3. Lower the roof vent terminal cap over the vent pipe and secure in place with screws
provided. (Fig #30) Seal screw heads and joint with caulking to prevent any moisture
entering the venting system.
