Calculating Flooring Loads
Floor framing for Maximus Linear See-Thru installation will need to be designed and built to accept substantial dead loads
spread over a relatively small floor area.
(Figure 3)
The following weights and sizes can be used to calculate loading. It is the contractor’s responsibility to provide adequate
floor system load capacity.
WEIGHTS AND LOAD CALCULATIONS
Total dead load amounts include (but are not necessarily limited to) the following items and their corresponding weight
estimates as listed below:
1)
Isokern See-Thru unit weights:
a)
Maximus Linear See-Thru - 48: 1,112 lbs. (no burner, flue, accessories)
b)
Maximus Linear See-Thru - 72: 1,828 lbs. (includes steel angle; but no burner, flue, accessories)
c)
Maximus Linear See-Thru - 96: 2,247 lbs. (includes steel angle; but no burner, flue, accessories)
d)
Maximus Linear See-Thru - 120: 2,756 lbs. (includes steel angle; but no burner, flue, accessories)
2)
Approximate weight of log set: 100 lbs.
3)
Fire brick and Adhesive: 350 lbs. - 1800 lbs. depending on brick size and pattern
4)
Facing material: per general contractor
5)
B-Vent metal flue: per manufacturer and installation requirements
The floor area for each model is as follows:
•
Maximus Linear See-Thru – 48: @ 53” x 28” = 10.3 sq. ft.
•
Maximus Linear See-Thru - 72: @ 85-3/4” x 28” = 16.67 sq. ft.
•
Maximus Linear See-Thru – 96: @ 108-1/4” x 28” = 21.04 sq. ft.
•
Maximus Linear See-Thru – 120: @ 131-3/4” x 28” = 25.62 sq. ft.
