1. Mount Anchor Plate:
Chimneys for Isokern
fireplaces begin with an Anchor Plate or Anchor
Plate with Damper.
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 Isowool 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 Iso-
wool blanket over the Isokern Top Plate flue
opening, then center anchor plate over the
Iso-wool blanket. If a Damper is used, make sure
nothing interferes with the damper plate movement.
Secure the Anchor Plate with four (4) masonry
anchors
(Figure 49)
. If the Anchor Plate with Damper
is installed, the damper should swing freely. When
the chain is pulled down, the damper should close
(horizontal position). When the chain is released
(no weight on the chain), the damper should swing
open (vertical position).
To install the lintel hook, place the damper plate
in the closed (horizontal) position. Determine and
mark the position of the lintel hook. The lintel hook
should be mounted in a position so as to provide a
small amount of tension in the spring attached to
the chain.
The tension is needed to prevent the damper plate
from rattling when closed. Mount the lintel hook to
masonry with the screws provided. Do not obstruct
oval openings in the anchor plate.
WARNING:
Do not locate Anchor Plate with
Damper in a location inaccessible for inspection,
cleaning, and servicing after installation.
2. Attach Chimney:
Attach the first section of
chimney on the Anchor Plate. The joint assembly is
a male to female slip fit and held together with tab
lock, twist lock or screwed together
(Figure 50)
.
If installing screws, do not penetrate the inner liner
of the chimney with screws. Maintain a 2" clearance
to combustibles. Do not fill the clearance space
with any materials. If an offset is required, refer to
Elbow Offset Installation Section.
