Assembly Instructions - Access Modication
Through-Wall Accesses:
1. Combustion Air Inlet: Combustion air inlet kits though not required
by Isokern may help improve replace operation in homes tightly sealed
and with other ventilating appliances installed (Figures 19 & 20). Check
local codes for combustion air inlet requirements.
The following is a general representation of a generic com-
bustion air kit and not a requirement of Earthcore Industries, LLC.
Local building codes prevail and should be checked before installa-
tion.
Generic replace combustion air kits typically consist of a
sliding stainless steel access door afxed to a three inch (3”) or four inch
(4”) diameter stainless steel sleeve approximately twelve inches (12”)
long. An exterior vent with dress plate, weather hood and rodent preven-
tion screen of a maximum one-quarter inch (1/4”) wire mesh completes
the kit. (Figure 19)
The access door is tted into the nished re brick lining at
the interior sidewall of the MAGNUM rebox. The twelve inch (12”)
long sleeve can be introduced into the rebox side wall or back wall by
core drilling an appropriately sized hole at the selected rebox location.
Keep the top of the four inch (4”) diameter access hole no more than six
inches (6”) above the nished rebrick oor. The hole size should allow
for a one-quarter inch (1/4”) mortar joint around the air access sleeve for
heat expansion.
The sleeve passes through the rebox wall and must
be connected to metal pipe (by other) - either exible or rigid - that leads
to the source for outside combustion air, as directly as possible from the
Magnum Fireplace (Few to no bends) with a maximum length of sixty
feet (60’).
WARNING: Do not use combustible duct material. Avoid installing
a combustion air inlet where the opening could be blocked by snow,
bushes or other obstacles. Air inlet must terminate a minimum of three
feet below the chimney cap level. Air inlet ducts shall not terminate in
attic spaces.
2. Gas Line Feed: For a replace having the provision for installation of
a gas pipe, the provision is intended only for connection to a decorative
gas appliance.
CAUTION: When using the decorative appliance, the replace damper
must be set in the fully open position.
Gas line for gas log sets used in the Isokern rebox can be routed
through the side wall, back wall or oor of the rebox by drilling an ap-
propriately sized hole using a masonry drill bit (Figure 20).
3. Electrical Line Feed can be routed through the MAGNUM rebox
back wall, side walls or oor by drilling an appropriately sized hole
using a masonry drill bit (Figure 20). Be sure to follow the gas log Ap-
pliance Manufacturer’s explicit electrical line connection instructions for
vented masonry replace installations.
Gas line and electric line must be fed through separate access holes.
CAUTION: All access holes must be grouted with mortar – after line or
conduit feed - to seal any gaps or cracks around line feed conduits
(Figure 21).
