Flush Wall Finish Detail
Fireplaces are designed to be installed so that the rough front face of the rebox and damper beam project into the room approximately
one-half inch (1/2”) beyond the face of the rough framing members that create the room’s wall surface. The Magnum smoke dome
front sits two and three-fourths inches (2-3/4”) back from the rough face of the rebox and damper beam. This set back dimension
allows for one and one-half inch (1-1/2”) framing plus one-half inch (1/2”) thick wall board to pass in front of the smoke dome and
at the same time align ush with the room face of the Magnum damper beam. Set in this position, framing and wall board are kept
to the required eight inches (8”) above the rebox opening top (Figure 26).
The Isokern Standard smoke dome front sits ush with the rough face of the rebox and damper beam. Eight inches (8”) of
noncombustible facing material must span framing members for drywall to keep the required eight inches (8”) above the rebox
opening top; It is after this noncombustible material that framing members can be placed as shown above. Eight inches (8”) on each
side of the rebox opening is also required to be covered in noncombustible material. (Figure 27)
Important: Do not build a frame wall in front of the Magnum or Isokern Standard rebox and damper beam. (Figure 28)
