Top standoffs
The standoffs are shipped loose
inside the replace and must be
installed on the top and the side 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 forward 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 the instructions on pages
10 – 12 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 12" below, 12”
above and 9 5/8" to the side of the framing
edge bars.(Fig.#11) Standard sheetrock (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 the 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 (sheetrock).
Consult local codes. Do not insulate or use
plastic vapour barrier within the framing kit.
CAUTION: SEE FIGURE #11a BEFORE
PROCEEDING.

Ceiling Opening:
1. Determine the exact position of the replace so that the vent pipe is centered (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 (TCVT.THIMA) 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
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.
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.
