B. Design and Installation Considerations
NOTICE:
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 over restrictions,
installation inspection and permits.
Before installing, determine the following:
• Where the fireplace is to be installed
• The vent system configuration to be used
•
Gas supply piping
• Framing and finishing details
•
Whether optional accessories are desired
C. Moisture Resistance:
This outdoor fireplace will shed moderate amounts of wa-
ter, but is not waterproof. Water and condensing water va-
por may enter the chase under certain conditions.
The fireplace will not perform as an exterior wall. Mois-
ture penetration must be considered for construction that
places the fireplace in structure walls or on moisture sensi-
tive surfaces.
When installed on exterior walls: Hearth & Home Tech-
nologies recommends that the fireplace chase be con-
structed 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, includ-
ing 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 recom-
mends that a drainage pan (sold separately), be placed
under the unit. This can be constructed of metal, adhe-
sive 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.
