DM Chimney System: Offset Block (cont.)

Offset block Support Foundations:

 

It is required that every third Isokern offset chimney 

block in the sequence be supported down to footings via concrete 

block or steel support columns.

 

Plan  fireplace  and  DM  chimney  systems  carefully 

before foundations are laid to assure that proper footings are 

available to support Isokern offset blocks chimney run.

 

To calculate the distance of Isokern offset chimney 

travel in a straight line to the right, left or to the rear of the 

firebox/smoke dome assembly, proceed as follows:

 

Refer  to  Figure  89:  temporarily  dry  set  a  DM  outer 

casing block in its proper location on top of the completed 

firebox/smoke  dome  assembly  as  though  starting  a  straight 

chimney.

 

If the offset sequence is to move to the left then, starting 

from the right side of the temporary DM outer casing measure 

left ward to the far face of the overhead obstruction that needs to 

be bypassed by the vertical chimney run.

 

For accurate measuring drop a plumb line down from 

the far face of overhead obstruction to the level of the top of 

the smoke dome assembly. Measure from the far side of the 

temporary DM outer casing to the plumb line. This measurement, 

taken in inches and divided by three (three inches of horizontal 

travel per offset block) gives the total number of offset blocks 

needed to accomplish the required travel distance.

 

To calculate the height that the offset block sequence 

will require, take the total number of offset blocks needed to 

accomplish the travel distance (described above) multiplied by 

6”. This number is the height (inches) that the offset sequence 

will require.

 

When establishing the “far face” of the overhead 

obstruction, be sure that the DM chimney blocks can run straight 

to chimney termination without further overhead obstruction 

since a second offset sequence is not allowed. (Figure 90)

 

Be  sure  that  there  is  sufficient  space  beyond  the  “far 

face” of the overhead obstruction to accept the DM chimney’s 

outer casing dimension of 21 1/2”.

 

Support all offset sequences down to bearing as 

previously discussed on page 40. 

Note:

 

 

Always support the last offset block in a sequence for 

full support of the DM chimney where it returns to vertical.

 

Support columns often carry the majority of the total 

load of the vertical chimney that is set onto the last offset block.

 

The total chimney weight above the last offset block

will be the total weight of the vertical chimney plus any additional 

allowable loads such as the Isokern brickledge, its related brick 

or stone veneers, and any crown caps, clay pots or other masonry 

chimney terminations. 

 

Be sure the foundation under all support columns 

is made of concrete or steel and designed to support the loads 

applied to it.

 

FIGURE 90

FIGURE 89

NOTE Cont:

 

Check with local codes and a structural engineer to 

confirm loading and foundation requirements.

 

Chimney runs are limited to one offset sequence per 

chimney system.

 

Maximum horizontal distance of offset is six feet 

(6’) and represents twenty-four offset blocks in sequence.

 

By code the maximum angle of offset for chimney 

system is 30° off of vertical.
