Raised and Flush Hearth Application:
For a “ush hearth” the IBV must be built upon a
concrete (noncombustible) support slab that has no wood
underpinnings. (Figure 5) For a “ush hearth” application
the IBV three inch (3”) thick base plate is omitted from the
assembly.Therebrickwillthenbemortaredontheconcrete
slab and the noncombustible hearth material will butt tight up
against it.
For a “raised hearth”(oor of thereplace elevated
above the room’s oor) the IBV base plate can be set on a
structurally sound built up platform that is built to the desired
nishedraisedhearthheight.
When calculating raised hearth height be sure to allow
for the three inch (3”) thick base plate plus the one and one-half
inch(11/2”)thickrebrickoorinadditiontotheheightof
