nationalcodesandregulations.

• Consultinsurancecarrier,localbuilding inspector,re

ofcialsorauthoritieshavingjurisdictionoverrestrictions,

installationinspectionandpermits.

Beforeinstalling,determinethefollowing:

• Wherethereplaceistobeinstalled

• Theventsystemcongurationtobeused

• Gassupplypiping

• Framingandnishingdetails

• Whetheroptionalaccessoriesaredesired

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.Mois-

turepenetrationmustbeconsideredforconstruction

thatplacesthereplaceinstructurewallsoronmoisture

sensitivesurfaces.

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 col-

lect 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suit-

able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.
