Flush Wall Finish Detail
Maximus Linear see thru units shall be installed so that the rough
front face of the Isokern firebox is flush to the outside edges (room
side) of the rough framing members that create the room wall’s
finish (Figure 50 ).
IMPORTANT!!!: Do not build a combustible frame wall in
front of the Maximus Linear Fireboxes (Figure 51) .
CLEARANCE TO DRYWALL :
Drywall can be placed directly in contact with the front of the
Maximus Linear smoke dome. Drywall can be hung on the
framing members and pass across the face of the Maximus
Linear smoke dome and in contact with it.
Combustible wood sheathing materials such as plywood and
particle board may be used to cover the front of the Isokern
smoke dome and be in direct contact with it. This sheathing
shall terminate a minimum of eight inches (8”) away from
each side of the finished fireplace opening and a minimum of
eight inches (8”) inches above the top of the finished
fireplace opening.
IMPORTANT: When setting the noncombustible facing
material onto the drywall that spans across the top of the
firebox opening there will be a gap between the back of the
noncombustible finish material and the rough front face of
the Isokern firebox.
Be sure to fill this gap with Earthcore Adhesive in conjunction
with placement of the code required noncombustible finish
facing material that is set across the top of the firebox
opening.
Noncombustible facing/finish material shall be installed and
shall extend a minimum of 8” to sides and 8” to the top of
the finished firebox opening. Any gaps or voids that may be
left behind the noncombustible finished facing materials and
the firebox must be filled with Earthcore Adhesive.
WARNING!!!
: Avoid false chimneys. Failure to seal any gaps between the front face(s) of the firebox and the back of the
noncombustible finished facing material will create what is known as a “false chimney” or “secondary chimney”. A “false
chimney”, in this case is the narrow gap between the back of the noncombustible facing material at the top of the firebox
opening and the rough front of the Maximus Linear damper assembly/ smoke dome. If left unfilled this gap creates a “false-
chimney” which can cause a fire hazard by drawing considerable heat out of the firebox and into the space behind the
noncombustible finish facing and then up into the wall cavity behind the drywall or other sheathing material that houses the
Isokern fireplace.
