Moisture Resistance
This outdoor firebox will shed moderate amounts of water, but is
not waterproof. Water and condensing water vapor may enter the
chase under certain conditions.
The firebox will not perform as an exterior wall. Moisture penetration
must be considered for construction that places the firebox in structure
walls or on moisture sensitive surfaces.
When installed next to exterior walls: Empire Comfort Systems
recommends the firebox 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 1/4 inch
per foot. The firebox can be shimmed level.
When installed on surfaces where water may collect or cause
damage: Empire Comfort Systems recommends a slope of 1/8 inch
to 1/4 inch per foot towards the drain port suggested. The firebox
can be shimmed level.
Hearths should slope away from the front of the firebox and chase
at 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch per foot. Metal safety strips must be on top of
any combustible hearth materials used for moisture management.
When purchasing a firebox we recommend you also buy a weather
cover or glass door accessory to protect the firebox from moisture.
Never install the firebox where moisture cannot drain easily.
Screened Porch Installation
The firebox may be installed safely and is design certified by UL to
be installed in a screen porch with the following guidelines.
Minimum Porch Area .....................................................96 sq ft
Minimum Ceiling Height.................................................84 inch
