Moisture resistance
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. Moisture penetration
must be considered for construction that places the fireplace in
structure walls or on moisture sensitive surfaces.
When installed on exterior walls: Empire Comfort Systems
recommends 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: Empire Comfort Systems recommends a slope of 1/8 in
to 1/4 in per foot towards the drain port 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. Metal safety strips must be on top of any
combustible hearth materials used for moisture management.
