VENTING
Before installing venting for this unit, the installer should read
these instructions to insure that the proper vent configuration
has been selected.
Use only Town and Country Termination kits #:
TC36.VTHZA - Horizontal Termination Kit
TC36.VTKVERA - Vertical Termination Kit
VentsystemcomponentsapprovedforusewiththeTownand
Country Fireplace are shown in Figure #10.
A Vent Adapter Kit is required when using one of the UL
103HTinsulatedpipeslisted below. As thereis a differencein
size of the outer pipe diameter between the TC Vent and the
other insulated pipes, the opening must be reduced in the
fireplace outer collar, the Wall Terminal Adapter collar, Roof
SupportSleevecollarandtheCeilingFirestop.FollowAdapter
instructions supplied with the adapter.
Various combinations of vertical and horizontal runs may be
used. Refer to Figure # 15 and 16 for details. For optimum
performance and flame appearance, keep the vent length to
a minimum and limit the number of elbows. Connections
between each vent system component must be tightly joined
and sealed, and secured with sheet metal screws. A horizon-

WALL TERMINATION VENTING
Exterior wall opening:
Determine the exact position of the fireplace so that the vent
pipe is centred (if possible) between two building framing
members. Consult your local building codes prior to proceed-
ing. The vent kit will accommodate up to a maximum wall
thickness of 12 inches.
1) Having determined the position of the fireplace, cut and
frame a 14 1/2 inch opening centred at a minimum height
of 60 inches above the floor. The opening may be round
or square. Height of the opening will vary with each
installation. As the horizontal vent run increases, so does
the minimum vertical rise (see Fig. #15).
IMPORTANT: When locating the opening, it should be
noted that vent terminal clearances must be maintained.
See "Vent Terminal Clearances" section for proper clear-
ances.
A minimum 24" vertical rise from the fireplace to the center-
line of the horizontal pipe is required for any wall termination.
With this minimal vertical rise, a maximum horizontal run of 2
1/2 feet from the center-line of the vertical pipe to the end of
the horizontal pipe is permitted (see Fig. #15 and 16). For
longer horizontal runs, increase vertical rise equally.
Theriseand run must beconstrainedtothe boundaries of the
chart shown in figure #15. The horizontal run of vent must
have a 1/4" rise for every 1 ft. of run towards the termination.
