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.

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
parallel, as in a breezeway or at right angles to each side.
See Figure 7.
Figure 7
PLANNING INSTALLATION

35305-8-0818Page 10
PLANNING INSTALLATION
• Within a partial enclosure that includes an overhead cover and
three side walls, as long as 30 percent or more of the horizontal
periphery (perimeter of walls and open side) of the enclosure
is permanently open. See Figure 8.
Figure 8
If installing in a screened in porch, the open space must be adjusted
(increased) from 30 percent (adjusted open space = 30% / % open
area of the screen mesh). "Example, if you used a screen with a
66% open area, the minimum open space of your building must
be 46% of the periphery. If you have a covered screened-in porch
that has two side walls that are 16', one wall that was against the
house that's 20' and one open side that's 20', you would have a
perimeter of 72'. You would need to have 33' of the perimeter open
(72' x 46% = 33')."
(Contact your screen manufacturer or screen dealer to
determine your screens open area).
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or
maintenance can cause property damage, personal injury
or loss of life. Installation and service must be performed
by a qualied installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
