55”
Note: The fi replace should be in place
and venting installed before framing in or
building an enclosure around the unit.
The Town & Country fi 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 fi nishing surface to be fl 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 fi nishing material must not interfere
with glass frame access.*
A Steel Stud Framing Kit is supplied with the
fi replace and must be used unless the
fi 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 fi replace once the fi replace is in its fi 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 fi nishing surface.
The sides, back and top of the fi replace can
be framed in up to the steel studs and the
fi replace standoffs using conventional
lumber. Consult local building codes for
specifi 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 fi 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 fi 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 fl ashing to
local building code.
Note: Installing unit without fl ashing
installed will void the warranty
Note: Provide proper drainage to divert
water underneath the unit
Chase Insulation:
When installing this
fi 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 fi 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.
ALL OTHER FRAMING CAN
BE DONE WITH
CONVENTIONAL LUMBER
NON-COMBUSTIBLE ZONE. DO NOT INSTALL ANY
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL, ELECTRICAL WIRING,
INSULATION, PLASTIC VAPOR BARRIER OR GAS
