G. Moisture Resistance

This outdoor appliance will shed moderate amounts of water, but is not waterproof. This appliance must be enclosed or covered with combustible and non-combustible finish material per framing dimension requirements and all joints sealed to prevent water infiltration.
A moisture membrane material may overlap and be taped onto the face of the appliance a maximum of 2 inches on the sides and top. See Figure 3.5.
The optional Drain Pan can be used to tie in a water membrane material with the front lower edge being the point where moisture exits the appliance. This must be taken into consideration when sealing the appliance. The lower edge should not be covered over, allowing any moisture that has accumulated to drain from the appliance.
Acceptable method for application of moisture membrane material shown. See Figures 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7.
The appliance will not perform as an exterior wall. Moisture penetration must be considered for construction that places the appliance in structure walls or on moisture sensitive surfaces.
When installed on exterior walls: Hearth & Home Technologies recommends that the chase be constructed outside the structure’s weather envelope. Where the platform meets the wall, use a flashing 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 appliance can be shimmed level.

H. Water Drainage
This appliance is designed to operate outdoors experiencing rain and other sources of moisture that will enter the firebox. The appliance has built-in drain holes in the base which will allow moisture to pass through the botteeded to ensure proper drainage. This can be constructed from a corrosion resistant metal, or suitable material for outdoor use with a water resistant membrane. A slope of 1/4” per foot toward the drain ports of the structure is recommended. An optional drain pan is available for purchase.
