Getting Started
2
A. Design and Installation Considerations
Check building codes prior to installation.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional,
state and national codes and regulations.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector,
re offi cials or authorities having jurisdiction about restrictions, installation inspection, and permits.
When planning a fi replace installation, it is necessary to de- termine the following information before installing:
• Where the fireplace is to be installed. See Sections 3 and 4.
• The vent system confi guration to be used. See Sections 5 and 6.
• Framing and fi nishing details. See Sections 3, 6 and 8.
• Whether optional accessories are desired. See Section 12.
Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent fi replaces successfully. Considerations for successful draft include:
• Location of fi replace and chimney
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.

WARNING
Fire Risk
Provide adequate clearances.
• Around air openings
• To combustibles
• For service access. Locate fi replace away from traffi c areas.
A. Selecting Fireplace Location
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 against structure walls or on moisture sensitive surfaces.
• Exterior Walls (see Figure 3.1)
Hearth & Home Technologies recommends that the
replace chase be constructed 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. Build the outside enclosure out of standard building materials, being careful to maintain the minimum air clearances specifi ed in these installation instructions.
Note:
Illustrations and photos re ect typical installations
and are FOR DESIGN PURPOSES ONLY.
Illustrations/diagrams are not drawn to scale.
Actual installation/appearance may vary due to
individual design preference.
Hearth & Home Technologies reserves the right to alter its products.
• Freestanding Installations (see Figure 3.2)
When installing this fi replace as a freestanding fi replace
on your porch, patio or in your yard, it must be enclosed to prevent impact damage to the fi replace. The exterior of the enclosure may be fi nished 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 replace due to the heat the fi replace produces. This can cause the vinyl siding to deteriorate.
• 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 used on top of any combustible hearth materials used for moisture management.

WARNING
Fire Risk!
• Metal hearth strips MUST be installed. Sparks or embers may ignite fl ooring.
Included with your fi replace you will fi nd 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 fi replace and the hearth ex- tension meet.
Slide each metal strip 2 in. (51 mm) under the front edge of the fi replace. The individual pieces must over- lap each other by 1 in. (25 mm) minimum in the middle of the fi replace to provide continuous coverage of the oor. See Figure 4.4. These metal strips should extend from the front and sides of the fi replace opening by 2 in. (51 mm).
1 in. (25 mm) overlap
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).
