B-Vent Metal Chimney Installation
1.
Mount Anchor Plate with down draft diverter: Chimneys for Isokern LINEAR fireplaces begin with an Anchor Plate with
down draft diverter.
It is important that the surface of the Isokern chimney has a level surface on which to attach the Anchor Plate. If the
top of the Isokern does not have a level surface, then it will need to be modified accordingly.
Center the Inswool blanket over Isokern Top Plate hole and trace outline of hole with a pen or marker. Cut a hole in
the blanket to match the hole in the Isokern top plate. Center the Inswool blanket over the Isokern Top Plate flue opening,
then center anchor plate over the Inswool blanket.
Secure the Anchor Plate with four (4) masonry anchors.

WARNING:
Do not locate Anchor Plate with Down Draft Diverter in a location inaccessible for inspection, cleaning and
servicing after installation.
2.
Starting at the anchor plate, attach the first section of B-Vent Pipe. It is acceptable to use screws to attach the B-Vent
to the anchor plate.
The B-Vent sections and components use the Metal-Fab positive twist lock for interconnections. Align the ends of
the vent, push together then twist section to lock in place.
(Figure 21)
No additional fasteners are required to assure a safe installation. It is acceptable to apply screws at the joints if local
code requires, or at the installing contractor’s option, provided that the screws
do not
penetrate the flue.
The B-vent must be supported every 5’ with wall band or support straps.
NOTE:
When installing B-Vent always align “Up” arrow away from appliance. Chimneys must be installed so that access
is provided for inspection and cleaning.
