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
board is supplied with the fi replace and 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. #9)
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 top sections of board
supplied with framing kit be replaced with
a single sheet of non-combustible board.
Taped and mudded joints may crack due to
the elevated temperatures.
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.
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
