DRAIN INSTALLATION (RECOMMENDED)
Although this fireplace is designed to operate outdoors safely, rain and other sources of moisture may enter the hearth area, which will cause water to col-
lect inside the base of the unit.
To prevent excessive water collection, the installer must provide a way to drain the water from the base of the unit by building or installing a
water collector before positioning the fireplace in its location.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
When planning for the installation of the unit, the framing height must be increased by 3/4", when installing a drain pan. Additional space below the unit will
also be required to plumb a drain line.
1. Remove 4 screws to remove the rear access panel from the back of the unit - this will allow access to the drain hole at the base of the unit.
2. On the exposed drain hole (see location below), install a PVC 3/4" threaded coupling reducer going from the top of the pan, down through the hole. Apply
a silicone-based sealant around the base and threads before installation.
3. Holding the reducer coupling with a wrench, thread a 90° PVC elbow (from the underside of the unit) to the reducer until it is tight to the metal.
Note
: To assure proper drainage, that fireplace must be installed on a leveled surface
4. Add additional piping to route the drain to an appropriate location.
