Floor framing for a Fire-Lite installation will need to

be designed and built to accept substantial dead loads spread

over a relatively small floor area.

The following weights and sizes can be used to cal

culate Fire-Lite loading. Consult with local structural engineer

for proper sizing of structural floor frame members for specific

installations.

Load Calculations:

Total dead load amounts include (but are not neces-

sarily limited to) the following items and their corresponding

weight estimates listed below:

1. Fire-Lite unit model weights:

a. Model 36 FP: 1205 lbs.

b. Model 42 FP: 1325 lbs.

c. Model 46 FP: 1450 lbs.

2. Damper, fire brick and mortar: 450 lbs.

3. Raised platform: 40 lbs.

4. Fireplace finished facing: approx. 200 lbs.

5. Weight of metal flue: negligible

By adding the weight of the appropriate Fire-Lite

Model listed in #1 above to the allowance given for each item

in 2 through 5, above, the total weight of the Fire-Lite Series

can be estimated.

Total approximate Fire-Lite Series weight estimates for

each Model:

Model 36 FP @ 1205 lbs + items 2 thru 5 @ 690 = 1895 lbs.

Model 42 FP @ 1325 lbs + items 2 thru 5 @ 690 = 2015 lbs.

Model 46 FP @ 1450 lbs + items 2 thru 5 @ 690 = 2140 lbs.

The floor area for each model is as follows:

Model 36 FP @ 43” x 25.25” = 7.54 sq.ft.

Model 42 FP @ 48.5” x 25.25”= 8.50 sq.ft.

Model 46 FP @ 53” x 25.25” = 9.30 sq.ft.

Notes:

These dead load totals are in addition to the live load

and other dead load requirements for the specific site’s pro

posed floor.

The load estimates given above for items are esti-

mates only and may not accurately define total loads related

to the completed fireplace due to material choices that are at

owner option.

Consult your local structural engineer for proper floor

system design, sizing and specifications.

Isokern is not responsible for structural floor support

details for the Fire-Lite fireplace. Unless otherwise noted all

floor framing drawings in this manual are merely illustrations

to indicate the presence of an underlying floor system.
