Isokern Standard 36 Installation, Operation, Maintenance And Owner's Manual

62
Floor framing for a Fire-Lite installation will need to
be designed and built to accept substantial dead loads spread
over a relatively small oor area.
The following weights and sizes can be used to
calculate Fire-Lite loading. Consult with local structural
engineer for proper sizing of structural oor frame members for
specic installations.
Load Calculations:
Total dead load amounts include (but are not necessarily
limited to) the following items and their corresponding weight
estimates listed below:
1. Fire-Lite unit model weights:
a. Model 36 FP: 1360 lbs.
b. Model 42 FP: 1450 lbs.
c. Model 48 FP: 1600 lbs.
2. Damper, re brick and mortar: 450 lbs.
3. Raised platform: 40 lbs.
4. Fireplace nished facing: approx. 200 lbs.
5. Weight of metal ue: negligible
By adding the weight of the appropriate Fire-Lite
Model listed in #1 above to the allowance given for each item in
2 through 5, above, the total weight of the Fire-Lite Series can
be estimated.
Total approximate Fire-Lite Series weight estimates for each
Model:
Model 36 FP @ 1360 lbs. + items 2 thru 5 @ 690 = 2050 lbs.
Model 42 FP @ 1450 lbs + items 2 thru 5 @ 690 = 2140 lbs.
Model 48 FP @ 1600 lbs + items 2 thru 5 @ 690 = 2290 lbs.
The oor area for each model is as follows:
Model 36 FP @ 43” x 25.25” = 7.54 sq.ft.
Model 42 FP @ 48.5” x 25.25”= 8.50 sq.ft.
Model 48 FP @ 53” x 25.25” = 9.30 sq.ft.
Notes:
These dead load totals are in addition to the live load
and other dead load requirements for the specic site’s proposed
oor.
The load estimates given above for items are estimates
only and may not accurately dene total loads related to the
completed replace due to material choices that are at owner
option.
Consult your local structural engineer for proper oor
system design, sizing and specications.
Isokern is not responsible for structural oor support
details for the Fire-Lite replace. Unless otherwise noted all
oor framing drawings in this manual are merely illustrations to
indicate the presence of an underlying oor system.
