2 Getting Started
A. Design and Installation Considerations
Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent replaces
successfully. Considerations for successful draft include:
• Location of replace and chimney
Check building codes prior to installation.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional,
state and national codes and regulations.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector,
re ofcials or authorities having jurisdiction about
restrictions, installation inspection, and permits.
CAUTION
When planning a replace installation, it is necessary to de-
termine the following information before installing:
• Where the fireplace is to be installed. See Sections
3 and 4.
• The vent system conguration to be used. See Sections
5 and 6.
• Framing and nishing details. See Sections 3, 6 and 8.
• Whether optional accessories are desired. See
Section 12.
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.
B. Typical Fireplace System
The Outdoor Lifestyle replace system consists of the fol-
lowing:
• Fireplace/integral grate/dual cooling air system
• Refractory
• Chimney termination cap
• Chimney system (SL1100 series pipe is NOT approved
for Canada)
• Hearth extension
Optional components include:
• Glass doors

3 Framing and Clearances
A. Selecting Fireplace Location
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 against structure walls or on moisture sensitive
surfaces.
• Exterior Walls (see Figure 3.1)
Hearth & Home Technologies recommends that 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 1/8 in to 1/4 in. per foot. The replace
can be shimmed level. Build the outside enclosure out of
standard building materials, being careful to maintain the
minimum air clearances specied in these installation
instructions.
Fire Risk
Provide adequate clearances.
• Around air openings
• To combustibles
• For service access.
Locate replace away from trafc areas.
WARNING Note:
• Illustrations and photos reect typical installations
and are FOR DESIGN PURPOSES ONLY.
• Illustrations/diagrams are not drawn to scale.
• Actual installation/appearance may vary due to
individual design preference.
• Hearth & Home Technologies reserves the right to
alter its products.
• Freestanding Installations (see Figure 3.2)
When installing this replace as a freestanding replace
on your porch, patio or in your yard, it must be enclosed
to prevent impact damage to the replace. The exterior
of the enclosure may be nished in a textured plywood,
a wood clapboard siding, brick, or a cultured stone. Vinyl
siding is not recommended for use on the front of the
replace due to the heat the replace produces. This can
cause the vinyl siding to deteriorate.
• 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 used on top of any combustible hearth materials used
for moisture management.

• Determine the total vertical height of the fireplace
installation. This dimension is measured from the base of
the replace assembly to the point where the smoke exits
the termination cap.
• Subtract the effective height of the replace assembly from
the overall height of the replace installation (measured
from the base of the fireplace to the bottom of the
termination cap).
• Refer to Table 5.1 to determine what components must
be selected to complete the replace installation.
• Determine the number of ceiling restops, stabilizers,
roof flashing, etc. required to complete the fireplace
installation.
Table 5.1
• Do NOT connect this fireplace to a chimney flue
servicing another appliance.
• Do NOT connect to any air distribution duct or
system.
CAUTION
Fire Risk
• Must maintain 2 in. (51 mm) air clearance
to insulation and other combustible
materials.
WARNING
Note: A maximum of two pairs of offsets and returns may
be used.

B. Using Offsets/Returns
To bypass any overhead obstructions, the chimney may be
offset using an offset/return.
An offset and return may be attached together or a chimney
section(s) may be used between an offset and return.
Perform the following steps to determine the correct chim-
ney component combination for your particular installation:
• Measure how far the chimney needs to be shifted to enable
it to avoid the overhead obstacle. See Figure 5.1. Use
dimension “A” to determine chimney section required to
achieve the needed shift.
• After determining the offset dimension, refer to Table 5.2
and nd the “A” dimension closest to but not less than the
distance of shift needed for your installation.
• The “B” dimension that coincides with the “A” dimension
represents the required vertical clearance that is needed
to complete the offset and return.
• Read across the chart and nd the number of chimney
sections required and the model number of those particular
chimney parts.
• Whenever the chimney penetrates a oor/ceiling, a ceiling
restop must be installed.
• The effective height of the replace assembly is measured
from the base of the replace to the top of the starter collar.
See Dimensions in Section 12.

OVERLAP
Figure 5.1 Chimney Offset/Return
Example: Your “A” dimension from Figure 5.3 is
14 1/2 in. (368 mm). Using Table 5.2 the dimension
closest to, but not less than 14 1/2 in. (368 mm) is
15 3/4 in. (400 mm) using a 30° offset/return. It is
then determined from the table that you would need
36 5/8 in. (930 mm) (Dimension “B”) between the
offset and return. The chimney components that best
t your application are two SL1112s or SL412s.
Fire Risk
• Draft will be restricted if offsets/returns
greater than 30° are used.

C. Assemble the Chimney Sections
Attach either a straight chimney section or an offset to the
top of the replace (depending on your installation require-
ment). Chimney sections are locked together by pushing
downward until the top section meets the stop bead on the
lower section.
The inner ue is placed to the inside of the ue section below
it. The outer casing is placed outside the outer casing of the
chimney section below it. See Figure 5.2.
D. Install the Ceiling Firestops
• Mark and cut an opening in the ceiling for the ceiling
restop being used. See Figure 5.3.
• Frame the opening with the same size lumber used in the
ceiling joists.
• Install the ceiling restop.
Note: The ceiling restop MUST be nailed to the bottom
of the ceiling joists EXCEPT when the space above is
uninsulated and the attic insulation shield is not being used
(see Figure 5.5). When the attic insulation shield is used
the ceiling restop may be above or below the joist of an
insulated ceiling.
Note: You must provide support for the pipe during
construction and check to be sure inadvertent loading has
not dislodged the chimney section from the replace or at
any chimney joint.
Note: Inner flue and outer liner sections cannot be
disassembled once locked together. Plan ahead to ensure
the proper installation height is achieved with the selected
chimney components.
• Ceiling restops must be used at ceiling/oor.
• Chase construction requires ceiling restops at each
oor or every 10 ft ( 3.05 m) of clear space.
• Use same dimensional lumber as joists.
Ceiling restop slows spread of re and reduces cold air
inltration.
CAUTION
Figure 5.2 Assembling Chimney Sections

Do NOT install substitute or damaged
chimney components.
• MUST use chimney system described in

E. Install the Attic Insulation Shield
An insulation shield must be installed when there is a pos-
sibility of insulation coming into contact with the factory built
chimney system.
• Bend the tabs at the top of the attic insulation shield inward.
This will help keep the chimney section centered in the
shield.
• Position the shield over the vertical chimney section where
it penetrates a ceiling restop.
• Slide the shield down until it rests on the ceiling restop.
The ceiling restop will support the insulation shield. See
Figures 5.4 and 5.5.
F. Double-check the Chimney Assembly
Continue assembling the chimney sections up through the
ceiling restops as needed. While doing so, be aware of the
height and unsupported chimney length limitations given un-
der Section 5.A. Chimney Requirements.
Check each section by pulling up slightly from the top to en-
sure proper engagement before installing the succeeding
sections. If they have been connected correctly, they will not
disengage when tested.
G. Secure the Chimney
When offsets and returns are joined to straight pipe sections,
they must be locked into position with the screws provided*
(outer only), using the predrilled holes. To prevent gravity
from pulling the chimney sections apart, the returns and the
chimney stabilizers have hanger straps for securing these
parts to joists or rafters. See Figure 5.6.

down and drip edge to prevent water from seeping into the
chase. Provide a 1/8 in. (3 mm) gap around the ue pipe
and slope the top downward away from the penetration. See
Figure 6.3.
• All seams must be caulked to prevent leaks.
• A chase installation must use a chase top. Chase tops
are available from your Hearth & Home dealer or may be
eld constructed.
• Attach the chase top to the top of the chase.

WARNING
Mark the Exit Point of the Roof
Locate the point where the chimney will exit the roof by plumbing down to the
center of the chimney. Drive a nail up through the roof to mark the center. See
Figure 6.2.
Cut Out the Hole in the Roof
Measure to either side of the nail and mark the 14-1/2 in. x 14-1/2 in.
(368 mm x 368 mm) opening required. This is measured on the horizontal;
actual length may be larger depending on the pitch of the roof. Cut out and
frame the opening. See Chapter 25 of the Uniform Building Code for roof
framing details.
Assemble the Chimney Sections Through the Roof
Continue to add chimney sections through the roof opening, maintaining at
least a 2 in. (51 mm) air space to combustible materials.
Install the Roof Flashing
If a roof ashing is to be used, install the roof ashing appropriate to the
roof pitch and install a round termination cap and storm collar following the
instructions shipped with the cap.
