Installation of the FTF-13 Metal Chimney System for the
Isokern Fire-Lite:
Transition from the Isokern to the FTF-13 Metal Chimney
System:
The FTF-13 metal ue attaches to the smoke dome’s top
plate by use of the AP-ISO masonry anchor plate. The Anchor
Plate is tted with an octagonal base plate to afx it to the smoke
dome’s top plate. The anchor plate also has starter rings for both
the inner and the outer sleeves of the metal ue (Figure 89).
Step 1. Lay a twenty-four inch (24”) square, half inch (1/2”)
thick (minimum) piece of ceramic ber high temperature blanket
(“Inswool” Ceramic Fiber HP Blanket, rated for temperatures
up to 2400 degrees F., or equal.) on the top of the top plate. Cut
a hole approximately 11” in diameter in the center of the high
temperature blanket and align the blanket on the ue hole in the
top plate (Figure 89).
Step 2. Fit the AP-ISO Anchor Plate assembly onto the Inswool so
that the inner ue sleeve projecting out the bottom of the anchor
plate is inserted through the high temperature blanket and into the
hole in the top plate. The high temperature blanket is held between
the anchor plate and the top plate as a gasket (Figure 89). Attach
Anchor Plate to the top plate with masonry attachment screws
through holes provided in the anchor plate into the top plate. Do
not over torque masonry screws into the Isokern material. (Figure
90)
Chimney Terminations:
FTF-13 chimney pipe requires a termination component
to be installed at or near the top of the chimney chase ashing.
The FTF-13-CTD Round Termination is the
recommended termination. (See page 52)
Installation:
Step 1. Hold the FTF-13-CTD over top of last chimney section.
Step 2. Center inner slip section in inner ue pipe and slip down.
Step 3. Center outer locking section over outer ue pipe. Push
down until locking tabs are rmly engaged.
Step 4. Pull up slightly on CTD to ensure locking joint has rmly
engaged.
Note: It is recommended that all exterior exposed metal chimney
components - such as terminations, ashings, and ue - be painted
with a premium quality, high temperature, rust preventative paint
designed for metal. This is especially important when installations
are made in abnormally adverse or corrosive environments such as
near lakes and oceans or, in areas with consistently high humidity
conditions. Consult the paint manufacturer’s instructions for
proper preparation and application.
