A. Design and Installation Considerations
Checkbuildingcodespriortoinstallation.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional,
state and national codes and regulations.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building, fire
ofcials or authorities having jurisdiction about
restrictions,installationinspection,andpermits.
CAUTION
When planning an appliance installation, it’s necessary to
determine the following information beforeinstalling:
• Wheretheapplianceistobeinstalled.
• Gassupplypiping.
• Electricalwiring.
• Framingandnishingdetails.
2 Getting Started
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sur-
faces.
When installed on exterior walls: Hearth & Home Tech-
nologies recommends that the replace chase be con-
structed 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 1/8 in. to
1/4in.perfoot.Thereplacecanbeshimmedlevel.
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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.Sparkstripsmustbe
on top of any combustible hearth materials used for moisture
management.
These appliances must be installed outdoors.
TheDakota42-BSeriesoutdoorgasreplaceisdesigned
for outdoor use. It may also be installed in screened porches
andlanaisthatmeettheseminimumrequirements:
• Minimumporcharea-96squarefeet
• Minimumceilingheight-84in.
A minimum of two walls can be screened but must be open
tooutsideventilation.
• Minimumscreenarea-64squarefeet
• Minimumscreentopheight-80in.
RefertoSection3.B.forclearances.
