FIGURE 9
All portions of the combustible floor system under the Fire-Lite stand are to be covered with minimum 1/2”-thick
ceramic fiber Isowool or equivalent rated to 2100 degrees Fahrenheit
(Figure 9)
.
Use of Insboard cut-out underneath the Fire-Lite stand is still an accepted installation practice
(Figure 9)
.
All Fire-Lite Application of the Isokern fireplace result in the finished fire brick floor of the firebox being at least
eight inches (8½”)* above the combustible floor system
(Figure 9)
.
The non-combustible raised platform must be set with a minimum one and one half inch (1½") clearance to the
wall to the sides and directly behind the Fire-Lite assembly.
Raised Platform:
Nominal four-inch (4") metal base
(Figure 9)
.
Set the Fire-Lite base plate in a Earthcore Adhesive on
to the non-combustible raised platform.
IMPORTANT:
Metal safety strip - a metal angle is attached to the Fire-Lite stand when shipped. This angle is to be re-
moved before installation, turned over and re-attached to the metal stand so that the 2” lip faces forward of the metal
stands. This creates a metal safety strip and can be adjusted to ensure your metal stand, set on top of the Isowool will
be level. The safety strip must extend out from the front of the raised platform at least two inches (2”)
The exposed combustible floor underneath the non-combustible raised platform must be completely covered with
Isowool ceramic fiber insulation
(Figure 9)
.
The Isowool is dry laid to the floor within the block perimeter.
The ceramic fiber must have a thermal conductivity rating equal to or greater than 0.4 Btu-in/hrsq. ft-degree
Fahrenheit. (Reference: Harbison-Walker, 600 Grant St., Pittsburgh, PA 15219, ph. 412-562-6200: “Insboard 2100” or
equivalent.)
