INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS The Town & Country Fireplace installation and venting must conform to the current CAN/CGA-B149 installation code (in Canada) or the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (in the USA), and approved per local codes. Only qualified (licensed or trained) personnel should install this product. In the state of Massachusetts, only a licensed Plumber and Gas Fitter may install this product. Fig. # 4 Fig.
FRAMING AND FINISHING Note: The fireplace must be in place and venting installed before framing in or building an enclosure around the unit. The Town & Country Fireplace 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 finishing surface to be flush with the front of the unit.
Fig. # 7 CONCRETE BOARD DETAIL Fig. # 8 NON-COMBUSTIBLE RECESSED INSTALLATION DETAIL CONCRETE BOARD NON-COMBUSTIBLE MASONRY TYPE MATERIAL CONCRETE BOARD STEEL STUDS 6" Concrete board (or other noncombustible material) must extend 12" above and 4 1/2" to the sides of the framing edges. Fig. # 9 MINIMUM COMBUSTIBLE FRAMING DIMENSIONS Including Sheetrock CAUTION: When framing for the fireplace, ensure adequate space is provided for the control box. Do not install the control box above the fireplace.
CONTROL BOX Fig. # 10 The gas control system is housed in a control box remote of the fireplace. Flexible conduits attach the control box to the fireplace and house all the plumbing and wiring to the burner. This unique design allows the control box to be mounted in a variety of positions on the right or left side of the fireplace. The box can be framed into the front right or left face or the right or left sidewall of the fireplace enclosure.
CONTROL BOX LOCATION AND FRAMING DETAIL Fig. # 12 4 1/4" CAUTION: 12" - A 2 foot service access clearance is recommended in front of the control box. - If recessed into a masonry wall, allow for control door and frame removal. - If flush mounted on a masonry wall, allow for conduit to exit out the bottom of control box.
VENTING WALL TERMINATION VENTING Before installing venting for this unit, the installer should read these instructions to insure that the proper vent configuration has been selected. Use only Town and Country Termination kits #: TCVT.WTA - Wall Termination Kit TCVT.RTA - Roof Termination Kit Exterior wall opening: Determine the exact position of the fireplace so that the vent pipe is centred (if possible) between two building framing members. Consult your local building codes prior to proceeding.
Fig. # 14 WALL THIMBLE AND VENT MUST NOT PROTRUDE BEYOND SIDING Wall thimble: Where a vent pipe passes through a combustible wall, a wall thimble/shield must be used to retain insulation and maintain proper clearances. The wall thimble may be cut to length for various wall thicknesses up to 12" thick. Measure the wall thickness including the siding. Trim the shield to match the wall thickness. Position the wall thimble from inside through the 14-1/2" opening.
Vent pipe: Install vent pipe through the wall thimble and attach to flue outlet collar on top of the fireplace. Secure all joints with screws and seal with approved "High Temp." self-adhesive aluminum tape provided (see VENT PIPE SEALANT section). The fireplace position may need to be adjusted to ensure that the vent pipe does not protrude beyond the outer wall or be recessed any more than 12 inches with the inner pipe. Fig.

ROOF TERMINATION VENTING Fig. # 20 Ceiling opening: A 1) Determine the exact position of the fireplace 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 proceeding. 14 1/2" 2) Cut and frame a 14 1/2" opening in the floor, ceiling and roof where the vent system will pass.
Roof vent terminal: 1) Place the roof flashing over top of the vent pipe and nail securely to the roof using roofing nails, top and sides UNDER shingles, lower end OVER shingles to provide a watershed. Make weather tight by sealing with a roofing compound (see Fig. #21). 2) Place the storm collar down over the vent pipe until it is level. Tighten storm collar for a snug fit. Apply a thick horizontal ring of mastic around the pipe at top of the storm collar (see Fig. #21).
VENT TERMINAL CLEARANCE VENT TERMINAL MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO ADJACENT STRUCTURES Fig. # 22a Minimum clearances to the vent terminal must be maintained as shown in figure #22a & b. Measure clearances to the nearest edge of termination hood. 36" (91.5 cm) 24" (61 cm) NOTE: Vent terminal must not be recessed into a wall or siding. NOTE: LOCAL CODES OR REGULATIONS MAY REQUIRE DIFFERENT CLEARANCES. 24" (61 cm) 48" (122 cm) ADJACENT STRUCTURES OR FENCE VENT TERMINAL MINIMUM CLEARANCES Fig.
VENT PIPE SEALANT Fig. #23 APPROVED "HIGH TEMP." SELF-ADHESIVE ALUMINUM TAPE VENT PIPE INSULATED COLLAR SHIELD (Included) MUST BE USED. SEE SECTION BELOW VENT PIPE SEALANT All outer joints of the vent pipe must be sealed with the approved "High Temp." self-adhesive aluminum tape provided. Wrap the tape completely around the joint and press firmly in place. Fig. #24 INSULATION COVER (2 pcs.) BEND TABS INSULATED COLLAR SHIELD (Included Pt# TC36.
VENT RESTRICTOR ADJUSTMENT Fig. # 26 WALL AND ROOF TERMINATION RESTRICTOR POSITION The vent restrictor is located on the underside of the firebox top. The unit leaves the factory with the vent restrictor wide open. The restrictor is built into the appliance for secondary air flow adjustment. Adjustment enables tuning the airflow for optimum flame appearance and performance for a wide variety of vent configurations.
GAS SUPPLY Caution: The gas line should be installed by a qualified service person in accordance with all building codes. This section is intended as a guide for qualified technicians installing this appliance. Consult local and/or national building codes before proceeding.

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. Fig # 29 UPPER FIREBOX SHIELD The window frame is held in place by two spring-loaded latches and are operated by a removable handle. The handle is located in the Control Box. 1) Insert the latch handle onto the catch located 6” down from the top corners. Rotate up to disengage each of the two catches.
FIREBOX PANELS INSTALLATION Fig. #32 ADJUSTABLE "V" BRACKET (HERRINGBONE .................. TCPN.7566) (TUSCAN ................................ TCPN.748) (HERITAGE RED................ TCPN.75704) For porcelin panel kit (TCPN.75702) installation see instructions provided with panel kit. The Firebox Panels have to be installed for safe operation. Do not use the fireplace without panels. Unpack and inspect all panels. The panels need to be installed before the logs are in place.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS - Millivolt Valve FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life. A. This appliance is equipped with an ignition device which automatically lights the pilot. Do not try to light the pilot by hand. B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appliance area for gas.
1) HI-LO Flame Adjustment: The HI-LO burner control knob can be rotated in both directions, providing infinite control of gas flow rate to the burner and therefore greater comfort control. The HI setting provides a maximum gas input, and rotating the knob clockwise toward the LO setting will reduce the gas input to a minimum setting. 2) Wall Thermostat - Canada Only (Optional part # GASC.THERMO): Set the wall thermostat to a comfortable temperature. Turn the HI-LO burner control knob to a desired setting.
APPENDIX A Annual Inspection: MAINTENANCE Caution: Turn off gas and electrical power supply (if applicable) and allow ample time for unit to cool before servicing appliance. It is recommended that the fireplace and its venting should be inspected at least once a year by a qualified service person. a) Remove glass panel and log set. Inspect logs and burner assembly for soot buildup. If excessive buildup of soot is present, have a qualified service person inspect and adjust unit for proper combustion.
