Framing & Clearances
Figure 6.1 Fireplace Locations (Framing dimensions shown)
A. Selecting Fireplace Location
This outdoor fireplace will shed moderate amounts of
water, 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 against structure walls or on moisture
sensitive surfaces.
• Exterior Walls (see Figure 6.1)
Hearth & Home Technologies recommends that 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 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. per foot.
The fireplace can be shimmed level. Build the outside
enclosure out of standard building materials, being
careful to maintain the minimum air clearances specified
in these installation instructions.
• Freestanding Installations (see Figure 6.2)
When installing this fireplace as a freestanding fireplace
on your porch, patio or in your yard, it must be enclosed
to prevent impact damage to the fireplace.
• The cooling air hoods MUST be used if installing in
a combustible enclosure.
•
If unit is installed on cement and totally enclosed with non
combustilbe materials (i.e. metal studs, cement board,
etc.) the cooling air hoods do not need to be installed.
• 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 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 used on top of any combustible
hearth materials used for moisture management.
