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 – 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 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.#13) 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.#13a be followed closely.
Fabricate and install appropriate ashing to
local building code.
Note: Installing unit without ashing
installed will void the warranty
Note: Provide proper drainage to divert
water underneath the unit
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 #9a BEFORE
PROCEEDING.

Vent system components approved for use with the Town and Country Fireplace are shown
in Fig. #34.
Various combinations of vent runs may be used. Refer to Fig. #28 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 high temperature self adhesive tape.
VENT SUPPORTS: A minimum of 1 support every 4’ must be used.
CAUTION: UNDER NO CONDITION SHOULD COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL BE CLOSER
THAN 1 3/4 INCHES FROM ANY PART OF THE VENT PIPE.

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 above the
roof according to the sloped roof table in
Fig. #33.
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.

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.
