Venting; Wall Termination Venting - Town & Country Fireplaces TC36 Instruction Manual

Before installing venting for this unit, the installer should read these instructions to insure that the proper vent con guration
has been selected.
Use only Town and Country Termination kits #:
TCVT.WTA - Wall Termination Kit
TCVT.RTA - Roof Termination Kit
Vent system components approved for use with the Town and Country Fireplace are shown on page 22.
NOTE: Optional Power Vents (TCVT.PVI.25, TCVT.PV7.110 & TCVT.PVCV require different venting.
Please refer to Power Vent manuals.
Various combinations of vertical and horizontal runs may be used - See Figure 41 & Figure 42. For optimum performance
and ame appearance, keep the vent length to a minimum and limit the number of elbows. Connections between each
vent system component must be tightly joined, secured with sheet metal screws and sealed with provided high tempera-
ture self adhesive tape. A horizontal run of vent should have a ¼" rise for every 1 ft. of run towards the termination.
CAUTION: UNDER NO CONDITION SHOULD COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL BE CLOSER THAN 1 ¾ INCHES FROM
THE TOP AND 1 ¾ INCHES FROM THE SIDES OF A HORIZONTAL SECTION AND 1 ¾ INCHES FROM THE
VERTICAL SECTIONS OF THE VENT PIPE.
Exterior wall opening:
Determine the exact position of the replace so that the vent pipe is centered (if possible) between two build-
ing framing members. Consult your local building codes prior to proceeding. The vent kit will accommodate
up to a maximum wall thickness of 12 inches.
1. Having determined the position of the replace, cut and frame a 14½ inch opening centered at a minimum height of
68½ inches above the oor (Figure 40). 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 chart (Figure 41).
IMPORTANT: When locating the opening, it should be noted that vent terminal clearances must be maintained.
See "Vent Terminal Clearance" on page 28 section for proper clearances.
A minimum 2 foot length of pipe is required off the top of the replace for any wall termination. With this minimum vertical
rise in combination with a 90° elbow, a maximum horizontal run of 18 inches is permitted, See Figure 41 & Figure 42.
For longer horizontal runs greater than 18 inches, increase vertical rise appropriately.
The rise and run must be constrained to the boundaries of the chart shown in Figure 41. The horizontal run of vent must
have a ¼" rise for every 1 ft. of run towards the termination.
