Exterior wall opening:
Determine the exact position of the fi replace so that the vent pipe is centred (if possible)
between two building framing members. Consult your local building codes prior to proceed-
ing. The vent kit will accommodate up to a maximum wall thickness of 12 inches.
1. Having determined the position of the fi replace, cut and frame a 14 1/2 inch opening
centred at a minimum height of 61 inches above the fl oor. 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 Fig. #35).
IMPORTANT: When locating the opening, it should be noted that vent terminal
clearances must be maintained. See "Vent Terminal Clearances" section for proper
clearances.
A minimum 1 foot length of pipe is required off the top of the fi replace for any wall termina-
tion. With this minimum vertical rise in combination with a 90° elbow, a maximum horizontal
run of 32 1/2 inches is permitted (see Fig. #35 and 36). For longer horizontal runs greater
than 32 1/2 inches, increase vertical rise appropriately.
The rise and run must be constrained to the boundaries of the chart shown in Fig. #35. The
horizontal run of vent must have a 1/4" rise for every 1 ft. of run towards the termination.
Before installing venting for this unit, the installer should read these instructions to insure
that the proper vent confi guration 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
in Fig. #33.
NOTE: Optional Power Vent (TCVT.PVB) requires different venting. Please refer to
Power Vent manual.
Various combinations of vertical and horizontal runs may be used. Refer to Fig. #35 and
36 for details. For optimum performance and fl 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. A horizontal run of vent should have a 1/4" rise for every 1 ft. of run
towards the termination.
CAUTION: UNDER NO CONDITION SHOULD COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL BE CLOSER
THAN 1 3/4 INCHES FROM THE TOP AND 1 3/4 INCHES FROM THE SIDES OF A
HORIZONTAL SECTION AND 1 3/4 INCHES FROM THE VERTICAL SECTIONS OF THE
VENT PIPE.
