NOTE: FOR CLARITY ONLY
ONE FACE OF THE TWO-
SIDED FIREPLACE IS SHOWN
WITH STEEL STUD FRAMING
KIT ATTACHED. BOTH FACES
MUST BE FRAMED WITH
THE STEEL STUD FRAMING
KIT SUPPLIED WITH THE
FIREPLACE.
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 en-
closed 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 proud of the appliance.
The fi nishing material must not interfere
with glass frame access.
Two Steel Stud Framing Kits are 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 & 11 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 is supplied with the fi replace
and must be used to sheet in the front of the
fi replace, extending 12" above and 7 1/2"
to
the side of the framing edge bars. (Fig #9)
Standard sheet rock (dry wall) may be used
beyond this.
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 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 (sheet rock). Consult local
codes. Do not insulate or use plastic vapour
barrier within the framing kit.
