NOTE:
The chase must be properly
sealed at the ceiling level or
between floors in a multilevel
installation.
Figure 9: TC42D with supplied steel frame.
Note: The fireplace should be in place
and venting installed before framing in or
building an enclosure around the unit.
The Town & Country fireplace must be
framed in as described below or totally
enclosed with non-combustible material,
such as facing brick.
If preferred, additional masonry type
non-combustible material can be installed
above and to the sides up to 4 1/2 inches
proud of the appliance.
The finishing material must not interfere
with glass frame access.
A Steel Stud Framing Kit is supplied with
the fireplace and must be used unless the
fireplace 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 fireplace once the
fireplace is in its final 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 thick-
ness of finishing surface.
The sides, back and top of the fireplace
can be framed in up to the steel studs and
the fireplace standoffs using conventional
lumber. Consult local building codes for
specific requirements.
Due to high temperatures, non-combusti-
ble backer board, such as cement board
or its equivalent, must be used to sheet
in the front of the fireplace, extending 12”
above and 5 1/2” to the side of the fram-
ing edge bars. (Figure 10) Standard sheet
rock (dry wall) may be used beyond this.
If the backer board is not to be finished
with other non-combustible material such
as tiles, it is recommended that top sec-
tions of the board be a single sheet of
calcium silicate board or its equivalent.
Taped and mudded joints may crack due
to the elevated temperatures.
Chase Insulation: When installing this
fireplace against a non-insulated exte-
rior wall or chase, it is recommended
that the outer walls be insulated to
same degree as other exterior walls.
Do not place fireplace 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.
CAUTION: SEE FIGURE #12 BEFORE
PROCEEDING.
IT IS HIGHLY RECOMENDED
THAT A FULL HEADER BE
INSTALLED ABOVE THE
