Canada) or the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (in the USA), and approved per local codes. Only qualied
(licensed or trained) personnel should install this product.
In the state of Massachusetts, only a licensed Plumber and Gas Fitter may install this product.
Manufactured (Mobile) Home
In some jurisdictions, the Town & Country Fireplace may be installed in Manufactured Homes after the "rst sale".
Consult local codes for approval. The replace must be fastened in place.
Install in accordance with the current standard Mobile Homes, CAN/CSA Z240 MH (in CANADA), and the Manufacturer's
Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 or the current Standard for Fire Safety Criteria for
Manufactured Home Installations, Sites and Communities ANSI/NFPA 501A (in the USA).
Window Frame Removal
Warning: Turn off the fireplace, and allow ample time for the unit to cool before proceeding.
Caution: The ceramic glass is very fragile, and should be handled with care.
The window frame is held in place by two spring-loaded latches that are operated by a one-piece latch handle.
1. Remove safety barrier screen (Figure 4) by prying the top portion of the screen toward you, then lift the screen from
its tabs (inset) located at the base of the window frame.
2. Remove the TC Finishing Touch Trim Kit from the window frame. (If installed)
3. Using a screwdriver (Figure 5) or other similar object, push against the notch in the top of the latch and grab the
bottom of the latch handle as it protrudes (Figure 6). Lift handle until latch hook disengages. Repeat for other side
while holding glass so it does not tip out.
4. Tilt the top of the window frame out to clear the top edge of the unit. Grasp the sides of the frame and lift up and out
to disengage from its bottom track.
5. Place the window frame in a safe place to avoid damage.
6. Re-assemble in reverse order. Latch handle should snap into place and be ush with window frame when engaged
correctly.

TOP STANDOFFS
Figure 7: TC42D Standoffs.
Locating The Fireplace
In planning the installation for the replace, it is necessary to determine where the unit is to be installed, location of vent system and where gas supply piping may be plumbed. Various installations are possible, such as,
into an existing wall, a corner, a built-in wall or a wall projection (Figure 8). Due to high temperatures, do not
locate this replace in areas of high trafc or near furniture or draperies.
The minimum clearances from the fireplace to combustible surfaces must be adhered to and are
shown in Figure 2 & Figure 3.
Figure 8: TC42D Possible locations.

100000364-50
Framing and Finishing
Note: The replace should be in place
and venting installed before framing
in or building an enclosure around the
unit.
The Town & Country replace 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 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 the
instructions on page 10 & page
11 of this manual. 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 conventional
lumber. Consult local building codes
for specic requirements.
Due to high temperatures, noncombustible backer board, such as
cement board or its equivalent, must
be used to sheet in the front of the
replace, extending 12” above and 5
1/2” to the side of the framing edge
bars. (Figure 10) Standard sheet rock
(dry wall) may be used beyond this.
If the backer board is not to be nished with other non-combustible
material such as tiles, it is recommended that top sections 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 noninsulated 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
9 BEFORE PROCEEDING.
NOTE:
The chase must be properly
sealed at the ceiling level or
between oors in a multilevel
installation.

Calcium silicate board is a high grade
material with cement, quartz and natural
minerals as the main raw materials. (Note:
Calcium Silicate is 1/2” thick)
CAUTION: Calcium Silicate board can be
damaged if dropped or struck. Handle
with care. Inspect board prior to installation and do not use if cracked.
NOTE: It is recommended to pre-drill
mounting holes in the board prior to
securing to the framing. This will prevent

Fixed Lintel
Framing Kit Adjustment
The lintel on the TC42D2 is in a xed position on the replace and there is no adjustment to move the lintel toward you or
away from you once the replace has been
located in its nal position. Instead, the replace itself must be manoeuvered so that
the front face of the lintel determines the
nal position of the replace.
The Framing Kit allows for a 2 1/4 inch
adjustment along the Framing Brackets.
Use this range to help determine the front of
the facing material.
The thickness of the facing material, wether
1/2 inch calcium silicate board or a rock
facing must be taken into consideration
before settling on a nal position of the
replace. See “Fireplace Facing Allowance”
on page 13.
