Window Frame Removal
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 safety barrier screen (Figure 4) by prying the top portion of the screen toward you, then lift the screen from its tabs
(inset) located at the base of the window frame.
2. Remove the TC Finishing Touch Trim Kit from the window frame. (If installed)
3. Using a screwdriver (Figure 5) 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 (Figure 6). Lift handle until latch hook disengages. Repeat for other side while holding glass so it does
not tip out.
4. 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.
5. Place the window frame in a safe place to avoid damage.
6. Re-assemble in reverse order. Latch handle should snap into place and be ush with window frame when engaged correctly.
7. Reinstall Trim Kit if required.
8. Reinstall safety barrier screen.
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.

TOP STANDOFFS
Figure 7: TCWS54D Stand offs.
Figure 8: TCWS54D Possible locations.
The standoffs are shipped loose inside the replace and must be installed on the top and the side of the replace as shown
in Figure 7. 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 9). 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.

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 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 11 - 13 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 thick-
ness 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-combusti-
ble 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 (Figure 11).
Standard sheetrock (dry wall) may be used
beyond this.
IIf the backer board is not to be nished
with other non-combustible material such
as tiles, it is recommended that top sec-
tions of the board be a single sheet of
calcium silicate board or its equivalent.
Taped and mudded joints may crack due
to the elevated temperatures.
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 exte-
rior walls. Do not place replace directly
against the insulation. Cover the insula-
tion 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 fram-
ing kit.
CAUTION: See Figure 13 BEFORE
PROCEEDING.

If nishing the wall above the unit with
paint, the framing kit shipped with the
unit should be discarded.Use full sheets
of calcium silicate board or equivalent
and full length metal studs to nish and
frame around the unit.
Calcium silicate board is a high grade
material with cement, quartz and natural
minerals as the main raw materials.
(Note: Calcium Silicate is 1/2” thick)
CAUTION: Calcium Silicate board
can be damaged if dropped or struck.
Handle with care. Inspect board prior to
installation and do not use if cracked.
NOTE: It is recommended to pre-drill
mounting holes in the board prior to
securing to the framing. This will pre-
vent the board from cracking.

N.P.T. tting. Correct gas line diameter must be used to assure proper operation and pressure.
NOTE: This replace has an input rate of 54,900 BTU/HR on both Natural Gas and Propane.
It is essential that a union or anged connection be installed just upstream of the valve and inside the control compart-
ment to allow for repair or replacement of the gas valve.
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 (Figure 26).
2. Turn on the gas supply and check that all connections are tight and leak free.
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.

For vent system components approved for use with the Town and Country Fireplace, See “Vent System
Components” on page 19.
Various combinations of vent runs may be used. See “Figure 36: Roof venting chart.” on page 21 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 provided high temperature self adhesive tape.
VENT SUPPORTS: A minimum of 1 support every 4’ must be used.
NOTE: Optional Power Vents (TCVT.PVI.25, TCVT.PV7.110 & TCVT.PVCV) require different venting.

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 fur-
ther depending on the roof pitch. For precise
lengths, See “Roof Pitch Table” on page 24.
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 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.
Ceiling Opening:
1. Determine the exact position of the replace so that the vent pipe is cen-
tered (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 (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 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.
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.
