TF10-TMS TERMINATION SHROUD

An optional termination shroud is available to
partially conceal the TF10-CTDTM when in-
stalled on a chase. Model TF10-TMS is adjust-
able for chases measuring a minimum of 27" x
27" (686 mm x 686 mm) up to a maximum of
40 " x 40 " (1029 mm x 1029 mm). Consult
the TF10-TMS installation instruction for spe-
cific installation information.

WIRING FOR THE TMC FAN KIT

The TMC-4500 comes standard with a fan
assembly and variable speed switch mounted
behind the removable front access cover. The
fan is located in the center behind the cover.
The "J" box has been pre-wired at the factory.
The fireplace must, however, be connected to
the main power supply at the time of installation
before the fireplace is framed and enclosed in
the finished walls.
To wire, remove the external "J" box cover
( Figure 49 ) by removing the hex-head screw.
The junction box cover has a
diameter knockout for connection with a con-
duit bushing. Wire with a minimum 60 C wire
in accordance with prevailing codes ( Figure
50 ). Fan draws 120Vac, 60Hz.

listed ON/OFF wall switch (not provided) rated
at 1 amp minimum, 120Vac may be used in-
stead of the built-in switch. When connections
have been made, place "J" box cover back into
the side access opening and secure with hex-

Z
The fan motor should be serviced yearly by oiling
and cleaning. To remove the fan assembly first
remove the lower access cover by lifting slightly
and then pulling straight out. Disconnect the
power plug from the "J" box receptacle and
remove the fan assembly. The compartment
under the fireplace should be inspected and
cleared of lint or other debris. The motor should
then be oiled with a good quality light motor oil.
The oil holes are located on the top and bottom
of the fan motors. Replace all components be
reversing the procedure.

GAS LINE

The TM/TMC Series fireplaces have been ap-
proved to accept a
" (13 mm) gas line for an
approved gas appliance. Always have the appli-
ance installed by a qualified, licensed plumber
in accordance with all local building codes. The
gas line may enter either side of the fireplace.
CAUTION: PLUMBING CONNECTIONS SHOULD
ONLY BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED, LI-
CENSED PLUMBER. MAIN GAS SUPPLY MUST
BE OFF WHEN PLUMBING GAS LINE TO FIRE-
PLACE OR PERFORMING SERVICE.
If you're installing a gas line, connect it before the
fireplace is framed and enclosed in the finished
wall. The gas knockout is determined by a 1 "
(29 mm) round indentation located at the bottom
and slightly off center in the side refractories.
THE KNOCKOUT IS ALWAYS REMOVED FROM
INSIDE THE FIREPLACE. DO NOT REMOVE THE
KNOCKOUT UNLESS YOU ARE INSTALLING A
GAS LINE. If removal is attempted from the outer
wrapper, side-refractory damage may occur.
With a medium-sized hammer, lightly tap the
surface of the indentation. The refractory mate-
rial is very thin in this area and is easily removed.
Once a small hole has been made, continue
tapping until you have reached sufficient diam-
eter for the gas line to fit through. The entire
knockout does not have to be removed. Remove
insulation in the gas line channel.
Install only a
" (13 mm) black iron pipe
through fireplace wall for connection to a deco-
rative gas appliance inside the firebox. Outside,
the iron pipe connects to a gas shut-off valve
recessed flush into the wall or floor. The valve
should be controlled by a removable valve key
for safety.
Always plumb gas line installation per local
codes. Check all connections with soap suds;
leaks will bubble. Never test any gas line con-
nection with a match or open flame.
IMPORTANT: RE-PACK INSULATION MATE-
RIAL IN SQUARE HOLE AROUND GAS LINE;
INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR, TO SEAL.
This provision is intended only for connection
to a decorative gas appliance incorporating an
automatic shut-off device and complying with
the standard for Decorative Gas Appliances for
installation in vented fireplaces, ANSI Z21.60.
Install in accordance with the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1. This complies with the
revised U.L. 127 standard.
CAUTION: WHEN USING A DECORATIVE GAS
APPLIANCE, THE FIREPLACE DAMPER MUST
BE SET IN THE FULLY OPEN POSITION.
