IBV Assembly Instructions (cont.)
Assembly Steps for IBV firebox and smoke dome:
Step 1:The IBV base plate can be set directly on a combustible
floor system. Set the base plate level in a bed of Earthcore Mortar
so that the base plate is in full contact with the underlying floor
system (Figure 4). Do not set the IBV base plate in span.
Raised and Flush Hearth Application:
For a “flush hearth” the IBV must be built upon a
concrete (noncombustible) support slab that has no wood
underpinnings. (Figure 5) For a “flush hearth” application
the IBV three inch (3”) thick base plate is omitted from the
assembly. The firebrick will then be mortared on the concrete
slab and the noncombustible hearth material will butt tight up
against it.
For a “raised hearth” (floor of the fireplace elevated
above the room’s floor) the IBV base plate can be set on a
structurally sound built up platform that is built to the desired
finished raised hearth height.
When calculating raised hearth height be sure to allow
for the three inch (3”) thick base plate plus the one and one-half
inch (1-1/2”) thick fire brick floor in addition to the height of
the field constructed raised platform. (Figure 6)
WARNING:
“Flush hearth” installations are possible only where the IBV
support is a concrete slab without any wood underpinning
as the base plate is omitted. Never place an IBV on a
combustible floor without the base plate.
