Moisture Resistance
This outdoor fireplace will shed moderate amounts of wa-
ter, 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. Mois-
ture penetration must be considered for construction that
places the fireplace in structure walls or on moisture sen-
sitive surfaces.
When installed on exterior walls: Outdoor Lifestyles rec-
ommends 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 1/4 in per foot.
The fireplace can be shimmed level.
When installed on surfaces where water may collect or
cause damage: Outdoor Lifestyles recommends a slope
of 1/8 in to 1/4 in per foot towards the drain port suggest-
ed. 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. Metal safety strips
must be on top of any combustible hearth materials used
for moisture management.

Mantels
WARNING: A 4" hood must be used if a mantel
is to be installed.
The height that a combustible mantel is fitted above the
fireplace is dependent on the depth of the mantel. This also
applies to the distance between the mantel leg (if fitted)
and the fireplace.
For the correct mounting height and widths refer to Figures
3a and 3b
Noncombustible mantels and legs may be installed at any
height and width around the appliance.
When using paint or lacquer to finish the
mantel, such paint or lacquer must be heat
resistant to prevent discoloration.
