2 Getting Started

A. Design and Installation Considerations

CAUTION

Check building codes prior to installation.

Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and national codes and regulations.

Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, fire officials or authorities having jurisdiction about restrictions, installation inspection, and permits.

When planning a fireplace installation, it is necessary to determine the following information before installing:

Where the fireplace is to be installed. See Sections 3 and 4.

The vent system configuration to be used. See Sections 5 and 6.

Framing and finishing details. See Sections 3, 6 and 8.

Whether optional accessories are desired. See Section 12.

Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent fireplaces successfully. Considerations for successful draft include:

Location of fireplace and chimney

Moisture Resistance:

This outdoor fireplace will shed moderate amounts of water, but is not waterproof. Water and condensing water vapor may enter the chase under certain conditions.

The fireplace will not perform as an exterior wall. Moisture penetration must be considered for construction that places the fireplace in structure walls or on moisture sensitive surfaces.

When installed on exterior walls: Hearth & Home Technologies recommends that the fireplace chase be constructed outside the structure’s weather envelope. Where the platform meets the wall, use a flashing detail similar to that required for attached decks. Chase platforms, including hearths should slope away from the structure at 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. per foot. The fireplace can be shimmed level.

When installed on surfaces where water may collect or cause damage: Hearth & Home Technologies recommends that a drainage pan be placed under the unit. This can be constructed of metal, adhesive polymer membrane (such as ice and water shield) or other suitable materials. A means of drainage out of the pan such as tubes or weep holes should be provided. A slope of 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. per foot towards the drain port is suggested. The fireplace can be shimmed level.

Hearths should slope away from the front of the fireplace and chase at 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. per foot. Spark strips must be on top of any combustible hearth materials used for moisture management.

B. Typical Fireplace System

The Outdoor Lifestyle fireplace system consists of the following:

Fireplace/integral grate/dual cooling air system

Refractory

A. Selecting Fireplace Location

This outdoor fireplace will shed moderate amounts of water, but is not waterproof. Water and condensing water vapor may enter the chase under certain conditions.

The fireplace will not perform as an exterior wall. Moisture penetration must be considered for construction that places the fireplace against structure walls or on moisture sensitive surfaces.

Exterior Walls (see Figure 3.1)

Hearth & Home Technologies recommends that the fireplace chase be constructed outside the structure’s weather envelope. Where the platform meets the wall, use a flashing detail similar to that required for attached decks. Chase platforms, including hearths, should slope away from the structure at 1/8 in to 1/4 in. per foot. The fireplace can be shimmed level. Build the outside enclosure out of standard building materials, being careful to maintain the minimum air clearances specified in these installation instructions.

Freestanding Installations (see Figure 3.2)

When installing this fireplace as a freestanding fireplace on your porch, patio or in your yard, it must be enclosed to prevent impact damage to the fireplace. The exterior of the enclosure may be finished in a textured plywood, a wood clapboard siding, brick, or a cultured stone. Vinyl siding is not recommended for use on the front of the fireplace due to the heat the fireplace produces. This can cause the vinyl siding to deteriorate.

When Installed on Surfaces Where Water May Collect or Cause Damage:

Hearth & HomeTechnologies recommends that a drainage pan be placed under the unit. This can be constructed of metal, adhesive polymer membrane (such as ice and water shield) or other suitable materials. A means of drainage out of the pan such as tubes or weep holes should be provided. A slope of 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. per foot towards the drain port is suggested. The fireplace can be shimmed level.

Hearths should slope away from the front of the fireplace and chase at 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. per foot. Spark strips must be used on top of any combustible hearth materials used for moisture management.

• Metal hearth strips MUST be installed. Sparks or embers may ignite flooring.

Included with your fireplace you will find two metal hearth strips measuring approximately 26 in. x 4 in. (660 mm x 102 mm). These strips are used to provide added protection where the fireplace and the hearth extension meet.

Slide each metal strip 2 in. (51 mm) under the front edge of the fireplace. The individual pieces must overlap each other by 1 in. (25 mm) minimum in the middle of the fireplace to provide continuous coverage of the floor. See Figure 4.4. These metal strips should extend from the front and sides of the fireplace opening by 2 in. (51 mm).

Note: When elevating the fireplace above the hearth extension the front of the elevated platform must be protected with a protective metal hearth strip as shown in Figure 4.6.

Level the Fireplace

Level the fireplace side-to-side and front to back. Shim with noncombustible material, such as sheet metal, as necessary. Secure the fireplace (using the nailing flanges located on either side of the fireplace) to the vertical framing.

Important: To ensure proper fit of the glass doors, check the fireplace opening for square. Measure diagonal distances of the opening to make sure they are equal. If they are not, continue to shim the fireplace until those diagonals are equal.

1 in. (25 mm) overlap

Protective metal strips are placed 2 in. (51 mm) under the front of the fireplace and must extend beyond the front and sides of fireplace opening by 2 in. (51 mm).

5 Chimney Assembly

A. Chimney Requirements

Vertical distances are measured from the base of the fireplace.

Minimum overall straight height is 6 ft 4 in. if the fireplace is freestandingand a minimum of 10 ft from a combustible structure. See Figure 3.2.

Chimney must extend 2 ft (.6 m) above any portion of the roof within 10 ft (3 m) of the chimney. Refer to Figure 6.1.

WARNING

Fire Risk

Must maintain 2 in. (51 mm) air clearance to insulation and other combustible materials.

To determine the chimney components needed to complete your particular installation, follow the steps below:

Determine the total vertical height of the fireplace installation. This dimension is measured from the base of the fireplace assembly to the point where the smoke exits the termination cap.

Subtract the effective height of the fireplace assembly from the overall height of the fireplace installation (measured from the base of the fireplace to the bottom of the termination cap).

Refer to Table 5.1 to determine what components must be selected to complete the fireplace installation.

Determine the number of ceiling firestops, stabilizers, roof flashing, etc. required to complete the fireplace installation.

CAUTION

Do NOT connect this fireplace to a chimney flue servicing another appliance.

Do NOT connect to any air distribution duct or system.
