Determine the exact position of the fireplace so that the vent pipe is centered (if possible) between two build-
ing framing members. Consult your local building codes prior to proceeding. The vent kit will accommodate
up to a maximum wall thickness of 12 inches.
1. Having determined the position of the fireplace, cut and frame a 14½ inch opening centred at a minimum height of
74 1/4 inches above the floor (Figure 33). The opening may be round or square. Height of the opening will vary with
each installation. As the horizontal vent run increases, so does the minimum vertical rise, see chart (Figure 34).
IMPORTANT: When locating the opening, it should be noted that vent terminal clearances must be maintained.
See Vent Terminal Minimum Clearance on page 25 section for proper clearances.
A minimum 2 foot length of pipe is required off the top of the fireplace for any wall termination. With this minimum vertical
rise in combination with a 90° elbow, a maximum horizontal run of 18 inches is permitted,
See Figure 34 & Figure 35.
For longer horizontal runs greater than 18 inches, increase vertical rise appropriately.
The rise and run must be constrained to the boundaries of the chart shown in (Figure 34). The horizontal run of vent must
have a ¼" rise for every 1 ft. of run towards the termination.

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
Vent system components approved for use with the Town and Country Fireplace are shown on page 20.
NOTE: Optional Power Vents (TCVT.PVI.25, TCVT.PV7.110 & TCVT.PVCV require different venting.
Please refer to Power Vent manuals.
Various combinations of vertical and horizontal runs may be used (Figure 34 & Figure 35) . For optimum
performance and flame 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. A horizontal run of vent should have a ¼" rise
for every 1 ft. of run towards the termination.
CAUTION: UNDER NO CONDITION SHOULD COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL BE CLOSER THAN 1 ¾
INCHES FROM THE TOP AND 1 ¾ INCHES FROM THE SIDES OF A HORIZONTAL SECTION AND 1 ¾
INCHES FROM THE VERTICAL SECTIONS OF THE VENT PIPE.
