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.
