INTRODUCTION
When installed on exterior walls: Empire Comfort Systems
recommends the replace chase be constructed 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1/4in.perfoot.Thereplacecanbeshimmedlevel.
When installed on surfaces where water may collect or cause
damage:EmpireComfortSystemsrecommendsaslopeof1/8to
1/4in.perfoottowardsthedrainport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.Metalsafetystripsmustbeontopof
any combustible hearth materials used for moisture management.
Whenpurchasingareboxorreplacewerecommendyoualso
buy a weather cover to protect the unit from moisture. Never install
a burner where moisture cannot drain off easily. We recommend a
weather barrier to protect the burner from moisture.
Qualied Installing Agency
Installation and replacement of gas piping, gas utilization equipment
or accessories and repair and servicing of equipment shall be
performedonlybyaqualiedagency.Theterm"qualiedagency"

sence of local codes with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54, or International Fuel Gas Code.
• Wheninstalled,thereplacemustbeelectricallygrounded
in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local
codes with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, if
applicable.

ous injury or death from re, burns, explosion or carbon
monoxide poisoning.
ThisseriesisdesigncertiedinaccordancewithANSI Z21.97/CSA
2.41 for Outdoor Gas Fireplaces and should be installed according
to these instructions.
Any alteration of the original design, installing it other than as
shown in these instructions or using a type of gas not shown
on the rating plate, is the responsibility of the person and
company making the change.
Manual Valve Safety System
When the burner ignites, a thermocouple senses a signal (electrical
current)thatenergizesamagnetinthegasvalve.After30to60
seconds, the control knob can be released. If the thermocouple
doesnotsensetheame,thegaswillshutoff.

Number and type of gas.
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 surfaces.

What to Consider Before Installing
1. Verifyreplacegastypeandgassupplytypearethesame.
2. Look for a location where combustibles will not interfere.
3. 120V GFI power outlet will be needed for LED lights
4. Choose a location for gas shutoff valve.
5. Verify ventilation meets at least minimum requirements
6. Wind and rain direction
7. Drainageunderreplace.
8. Considerationdrainpanandweatherdooraccessories.
9. Glass accessories
In planning the installation for the replace, it is necessary to
determine where the unit is to be installed and whether optional
accessories are desired. Gas supply piping should also be planned
at this time.
Thereplacecanbemountedonanyofthesesurfaces:
1. Araisedframeofcombustiblematerialsocontactismadeon
allfourperimeteredgesofthebottomofthereplaceatleast
3-1/2in.abovetheoor.
2. Fourcorners of the replacesocontact is made onall four
perimeter edges on the bottom of the unit at least 3-1/2 in.
abovetheoor.Checklocalcodesforallowances.
Atthispoint,youshouldhavedecidedwhatcomponentstoinclude
inyourinstallation,andwherethereplaceistobelocated.Ifthis
has not been done, stop and consult your dealer for assistance
with this planning.
WARNING
This replace is intended for installation on an outdoor patio
or yard. This replace shall be used only outdoors in a well
ventilated space and shall NOT be used in a building, garage,
or other enclosed area. This replace cannot be installed
with an opening to the inside of a residence.
NOTICE: This fireplace is NOT equipped with an Oxygen
Depletion Sensor (ODS) pilot.
Itisrecommendedthatthisreplacebeinstalledina“sheltered”
area.Direct wind will cause anerratic ame and possible main
burner outage.  This erratic ame could also lead to excessive
black soot. These issues are nuisance issues rather than a safety
issues.Avoidareaswhereexcessivemoistureorrunningwatermay
benearoronreplace.
Typical installation may include covered patio, open porch, gazebo
or an outside wall of a house.
• Minimum porch area – 96 square feet
• Minimum ceiling height – 90 inches
LED Lights will require a 120V GFI power outlet on the valve side of
thereplace.TheGFIplugwillbelocatedoutsideofthereplace.
Ajunctionboxisprovidedinsidethereplacetoprovidealocation
to plug in the LEDs.
Outdoor Fireplace Enclosure Requirements
Donotinstallreplaceuntilallnecessaryprovisionsaremadefor
combustion and ventilation air. Consult the written instructions
providedwiththereplaceforinformationconcerningcombustion
and ventilation air. In the absence of instructions, refer to the
NationalFuelGasCode,ANSIZ223.1/NFPA54,AirforCombustion
and Ventilation, or applicable local codes.
Installation must conform with one of the following conditions:
• With walls on all sides, but with no overhead cover.
See Figure 6.
Figure 6
• Within a partial enclosure which includes an overhead cover
and no more than two side walls. These side walls may be
