Exterior wall opening:
Determine the exact position of the fireplace so that the vent pipe is centered (if possible) between
two building framing members. Consult your local building codes prior to proceeding. The vent kit will
accommodate up to a maximum wall thickness of 12 inches.
Having determined the position of the fireplace, cut and frame a 14 1/2 inch opening centered at a minimum
height of 68 1/2 inches above the floor. 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 as shown on the
chart on page 22.
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 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 chart on page 22. 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 on page 22. 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
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.
Various combinations of vertical and horizontal runs may be used. Refer to charts on page 19 and page
23 for details. 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 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.
