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.
Determine the total thickness of facing
material to be used. A thickness of 3/4"
will allow the finishing surface to be flush
with the front of the unit. 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 or movement.
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 page 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 18
3/4" above and 5 " to the side of the fram-
ing edge bars (Figure 12). 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 the
instructions in (Figure 11) be followed
closely.
Chase Insulation: When installing this
fireplace 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 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 11 on page 10
BEFORE PROCEEDING.
NOTE:
The chase must be properly
sealed at the ceiling level or
between floors in a multilevel
installation.
