FRAMING AND FINISHING
Note: The replace must 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 nishing surface to be 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 nishing
material must not interfere with glass frame access.
A Steel Stud Framing Kit is supplied with the replace and
must be used unless the replace is totally enclosed with
non-combustible material. Assemble the framing kit as per
it's instructions. Attach the steel frame to the replace once
the replace is in its 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
nishing surface.
The sides, back and top of the replace can be framed in
up to the steel studs and the replace standoffs using con-
ventional lumber. Consult local building codes for speci c
requirements.
Due to high temperatures, concrete board is supplied with
the replace and must be used to sheet in the front of the
replace, extending 12" above and 4 1/2" to the side of the
framing edge bars. See gure #7. Standard sheetrock (drywall)
may be used beyond this.
Chase Insulation: When installing this 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 replace directly against the insulation. Cover the
insulation and plastic vapour barrier with a solid surface, such
as drywall (sheetrock). Consult local codes. Do not insulate
or use plastic vapour barrier within the framing kit.
