SimpliFire Optional Drain Pan for SimpliFire Forum Outdoor Fireplace

No, the drain pan is size-specific and must be matched to the correct Forum model. The drain pan for the 43-inch Forum (SF-OD43) carries model number SF-OD43-DP, while the drain pan for the 55-inch Forum (SF-OD55) carries model number SF-OD55-DP — so you must purchase the one that corresponds to your fireplace size.

The drain pan is designed to move moisture away from the fireplace unit, preventing it from accumulating inside the chassis. While the Forum Outdoor Fireplace is fully sealed and rated IP33 to withstand the elements, the optional drain pan is strongly recommended for outdoor installations as it actively extends the life of the fireplace by managing water and condensation buildup.

The SimpliFire Drain Pan is made of durable stainless steel, which is well-suited for outdoor environments where it will be exposed to rain, humidity, and temperature changes. The stainless steel construction helps resist corrosion and ensures long-term durability alongside the fireplace.

The SimpliFire Forum Outdoor Electric Fireplace provides no heat output at all — it is strictly an ambiance product, designed so you can safely place a TV or artwork directly above it. Since there is no heating function, the drain pan has no impact on heating output; its sole role is moisture management to protect the unit.

As an official SimpliFire accessory made by Hearth & Home Technologies (HHT), the drain pan falls under HHT's manufacturer limited warranty, which covers defects in materials and workmanship. If a component is found to be defective during the applicable warranty period, HHT will, at its option, repair or replace the part, or refund the purchase price of the product.
