Consult local building codes to ensure that you are in com-
pliance installing the replace.
Fireplaces must be vented to the out-of-doors.
This outdoor replace will shed moderate amounts of wa-
ter, but is not waterproof. Water and condensing water va-
por may enter the chase under certain conditions.
The replace will not perform as an exterior wall. Mois-
ture penetration must be considered for construction that
places the replace in structure walls or on moisture sensi-
tive surfaces.
When installed on exterior walls: Vermont Castings Group
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: Vermont Castings Group recommends a
slope of 1/8 in to 1/4 in per foot towards the drain port sug-
gested. 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.
The replace should not be located in areas that create
drafts (ie: frequently opened doors and central heating air
inlets/outlets) that hamper the normal ow of air into the
re.
If you plan to install a gas log, the gas line should be installed
before framing the replace. The gas line must be installed
by a certied gas line installer.
There are three methods of cleaning the polished stainless
steel of your outdoor replace;
1. Warm, soapy water - to loosen any dirt lm
2. Glass cleaner with ammonia
3. Stainless steel cleaner available at hardware stores
Regardless of which method is used, remember that any-
thing with too much abrasive may dull the nish.
