A. Appliance Certifi cation
MODELS: Dakota 42-B, Dakota 42H-B
LABORATORY: Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL)
TYPE: Vented Gas Appliance
STANDARD: ANSI Z21.50-2003—CSA2.22-M2003
This product is listed to ANSI standards for “Vented Gas
Fireplaces” and applicable sections of “Gas Burning Heating
Appliances for Manufactured Homes and Recreational Vehicles”, and “Gas Fired Appliances for Use at High Altitudes”.
B. Glass Specifi cations
Hearth & Home Technologies appliances manufactured with
tempered glass may be installed in hazardous locations such
as bathtub enclosures as defi ned by the Consumer Product
Safety Commission (CPSC). The tempered glass has been
tested and certifi ed to the requirements of ANSI Z97.1 and
CPSC 16 CFR 1202 (Safety Glazing Certifi cation Council
SGCC# 1595 and 1597. Architectural Testing, Inc. Reports
02-31919.01 and 02-31917.01).
This statement is in compliance with CPSC 16 CFR Section
1201.5 “Certifi cation and labeling requirements” which refers
to 15 U.S. Code (USC) 2063 stating “…Such certifi cate shall
accompany the product or shall otherwise be furnished to
any distributor or retailer to whom the product is delivered.”

D. High Altitude Installations
U.L. Listed gas appliances are tested and approved without
requiring changes for elevations from 0 to 2000 feet in the
U.S.A. and Canada.
When installing this appliance at an elevation above 2000 ft,
it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by changing the existing burner orifi ce to a smaller size. Input rate
should be reduced by 4% for each 1000 ft above a 2000 ft
elevation in the U.S.A., or 10% for elevations between 2000
and 4500 ft in Canada. If the heating value of the gas has
been reduced, these rules do not apply. To identify the proper orifi ce size, check with the local gas utility.
If installing this appliance at an elevation above 4500 ft (in
Canada), check with local authorities.
WARNING
Do NOT use this appliance if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualifi ed service technician
to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the
control system and any gas control which has been
under water.
Note: This installation must conform with local codes. In the
absence of local codes you must comply with the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-latest edition in the U.S.A.
and the CAN/CGA B149 Installation Codes in Canada.

Getting Started

A. Design and Installation Considerations
These appliances must be installed outdoors.
The Dakota 42-B Series Outdoor Gas Fireplace is designed
for outdoor use. It may also be installed in screened porches
and lanais that meet these minimum requirements:
• Minimum porch area - 96 square feet
• Minimum ceiling height - 84 in.
A minimum of two walls can be screened but must be open
to outside ventilation.
• Minimum screen area - 64 square feet
• Minimum screen top height - 80 in.
Refer to Section 3.B. for clearances.
CAUTION
Check building codes prior to installation.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional,
state and national codes and regulations.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building, fire
offi cials or authorities having jurisdiction about
restrictions, installation inspection, and permits.
When planning an appliance installation, it’s necessary to
determine the following information before installing:
• Where the appliance is to be installed.
• Gas supply piping.
• Electrical wiring.
• Framing and fi nishing details.
Moisture Resistance:
This outdoor fi replace will shed moderate amounts of water,
but is not waterproof. Water and condensing water vapor
may enter the chase under certain conditions.
The fi replace will not perform as an exterior wall. Moisture
penetration must be considered for construction that places
the fi replace in structure walls or on moisture sensitive sur-
faces.
When installed on exterior walls: Hearth & Home Technologies recommends that the fi replace chase be con-
structed outside the structure’s weather envelope. Where
the platform meets the wall, use a fl ashing 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 fi replace 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 fi replace can be shimmed
level.
Hearths should slope away from the front of the fi replace
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.

pressure testing gas line at test pressures
equal to or less than 1/2 psig.
C. Gas Connection
Note: Have the gas supply line installed in accordance
with local building codes, if any. If not, follow ANSI
223.1. Installation should be done by a qualifi ed installer
approved and/or licensed as required by the locality. (In
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts installation must be
performed by a licensed plumber or gas fi tter.)
Note: A listed (and Commonwealth of Massachusetts
approved) 1/2 in. (13 mm) T-handle manual shut-off valve
and fl exible gas connector are connected to the 1/2 in.
(13 mm) control valve inlet.
• If substituting for these components, please consult
local codes for compliance.
Optional: A 5 ft fl exible gas line is available to those regions
which do not require black pipe to be used. See Service
Parts List (Section 13).
Note: Gas line MUST be run from right side of appliance.
WARNING
Fire Risk
Explosion Risk
Verify inlet pressures.
• High pressure may cause overfire
condition.
• Low pressure may cause explosion.
Install regulator upstream of valve if line
pressure is greater than 1/2 psig.
Pressure requirements for appliance are shown in table
below.
Pressure Natural Gas Propane
Minimum Inlet Pressure 5.0 inches w.c. 11.0 inches w.c.
Maximum Inlet Pressure 7.0 inches w.c. 14.0 inches w.c.
Manifold Pressure 3.5 inches w.c. 10.5 inches w.c.
These pressures can be verifi ed through the internal valve
access panels as shown in Section E. Valve Access.
WARNING
Gas Leak Risk
• Support control when attaching pipe to
prevent bending gas line.
Note: The gap between supply piping and gas access hole
may be plugged with non-combustible unfaced insulation
to prevent cold air infi ltration.
• Ensure that gas line does not come in contact with outer
wrap of appliance. Follow local codes.
• Incoming gas line should be piped into the valve
compartment and connected to the 1/2 in. connection on
the manual shutoff valve.
