Isokern Standard 36 - Intended Use Statement

Intended Product Use Statement:
The Fireplaces and DM chimney system are intended
to burn solid wood fuel, propane or natural gas.
Note:
Installation of a gas pipe must comply with the Standard for
Decorative Gas Appliances for Installation in Vented Fireplaces,
ANSI Z21.60.
This replace is not designed to sit directly on a
combustible oor system. The Fire-Lite application listed in the
back section of this manual is designed to sit on a combustible
oor. See pages 46-51 for specic installation requirements.
This replace is intended for use as a supplemental
heat source only and is not intended for heavy use as a primary
heating system.
Overring, abusive burning or mistreatment will void
any claims (eg. burning construction debris or other highly
ammable material; tossing, kicking or otherwise forcing logs
into the rebox).
Isokern replaces and the DM chimney system are
conventional indoor or outdoor replaces designed to appear
like traditional masonry replaces. Fireplaces and DM chimney
system units are intended for installation in residential homes
and other buildings of conventional construction.
Note: The local authority having code jurisdiction, should be
consulted before installation to determine the need to obtain a
permit.
Important areas of concern with the installation of these
replaces are: construction of proper load bearing foundation
and concrete support slab; code required hearth extension
substrates and supports; proper assembly of components;
clearance to combustible materials; height of chimney; and,
techniques employed in applying nishing materials to the
replace opening and hearth extension.
Suitable standard residential, minimum four inch (4”)
thick, 2500 psi concrete foundations on properly compacted ll
can support installations up to thirty feet (30’) overall height
(brick ledge installations not included)
Each of these important topics will be covered in detail
throughout this manual. Installation personnel must give special
attention to each topic as the installation progresses.
All work performed on, near and adjoining the replace
and chimney installation must meet or exceed the specications
and requirements in this manual and the prevailing local building
code.
Subsequent renovations, additions of cabinets and
storage spaces in the enclosure surrounding the replace are also
limited to the specications in this manual and to the prevailing
local building code.
Earthcore is not responsible for other construction
work around the replace unit.
Important: The top plate of the rebox is not meant to be used
as a structural support of any veneer. Please consult structural
engineer for structural support of any veneer bearing weight on
the Isokern top plate.
Intended Use Statement
WARNING:
This replace has not been tested for use with
doors. To reduce the risk of re or injury, do not install
doors. Operable doors are acceptable and if doors are
required by the local authority having jurisdiction, doors
must be kept in the fully open position when the replace
is in operation.
Note: Do not scale drawings. Illustrations in this manual
are not to scale and are intended to show “typical”
installations.
Nominal dimensions are given for design and
framing reference only, since actual installations may vary
due to job specic design preferences. Always maintain
the stated minimum clearances to combustible materials.
Do not violate any specic installation requirements.
The replaces and DM chimney system are tested
and listed by Warnock Hersey (Intertek Testing Service) -
Report No. 3159656MID-008 and Report No. 315653MID-
006 - to UL 127, and UL 103HT - 2006 respectively.
Fireplace systems are also designed for
installation in accordance with the National Fire Protection
Association Standard for chimneys, replaces, vents and
Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances (NFPA 211).
