Getting Started
A. Design and Installation Considerations
Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent replaces
successfully. Considerations for successful draft include:
Location of replace and chimney
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 ofcials or authorities having jurisdiction about
restrictions, installation inspection, and permits.
CAUTION
When planning a 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 conguration to be used. See Sections
5 and 6.
Framing and nishing details. See Sections 3, 6 and 8.
Whether optional accessories are desired. See
Section 12.
Moisture Resistance:
This outdoor replace will shed moderate amounts of water,
but is not waterproof. Water and condensing water vapor
may enter the chase under certain conditions.
The replace will not perform as an exterior wall. Moisture
penetration must be considered for construction that places
the replace in structure walls or on moisture sensitive sur-
faces.
When installed on exterior walls: Hearth & Home Tech-
nologies recommends that the replace chase be con-
structed outside the structure’s weather envelope. Where
the platform meets the wall, use a 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 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 replace can be shimmed
level.
Hearths should slope away from the front of the 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.
