The MAGNUM Series fireplace and the DM chimney system is tested and listed for installation with “clearance to
combustibles” as follows:
• All DM 54 chimney components require 0” clearance
(Figure 1)
.
• The MAGNUM Series firebox side walls and backwall require 1½” clearance
(Figure 2)
.
• The smoke dome front wall requires 0” clearance.
NOTE:
“Combustibles” are defined as “normal construction materials” and are considered to be: wood framing
materials, particle board, mill board, plywood sub-flooring, plywood paneling and wood flooring.
MAGNUM Series fireplaces are tested and listed for (1½”) clearance to combustible framing material at the firebox
sides and back.
Installation and use practices that are beyond the control of the manufacturer* can result in situations where
clearance requirements (as determined through testing and as stated by the manufacturer) are not maintained due to
construction subsequent to the installation of the Isokern unit. It is the general contractor’s responsibility to assure that
listed clearances to combustible framing and to insulation are maintained throughout the construction of the project
subsequent to the installation of the Isokern unit.
To avoid causing a fire resulting in damage to property, personal injury or loss of life, do not pack or fill the required
air spaces with insulation or other material. No material is allowed in these areas
(Figures 2 & 3)
.
Keep all insulation, vapor barriers, “house wrap” paper and other insulating type membranes and products, including
fiberglass, cellulose and other insulation, (anything that carries an “R” rating) a minimum of three inches (3”) away from
all firebox and chimney surfaces.
