MAGNUM Series Fireplace
Required Clearance to Combustibles
The MAGNUM Series fireplaces are tested and
listed for installation with “clearance to combustibles”
as follows:
The MAGNUM Series firebox side walls and back
wall require 1 1/2” clearance.
(Figure 1)
The smoke dome front wall requires 0” clearance.
NOTE:
“Combustibles” are defined as “normal
construction materials” and are considered to be: wood
framing materials, particle board, mill board, plywood
sub-flooring, plywood paneling and wood flooring.
MAGNUM Series fireplaces are tested and listed
for (1 1/2”) clearance to combustible framing material at
the firebox sides and back.
Installation and use practices that are beyond the
control of the manufacturer* can result in situations where
clearance requirements (as determined through testing
and as stated by the manufacturer) are not maintained
due to construction subsequent to the installation of the
Isokern unit. It is the general contractor’s responsibility to
assure that listed clearances to combustible framing and
to insulation are maintained throughout the construction
of the project subsequent to the installation of the
Isokern unit.
To avoid causing a fire resulting in damage to
property, personal injury or loss of life, do not pack or fill
the required air spaces with insulation or other material.
No material is allowed in these areas.
(Figures 2 & 3)
Keep all insulation, vapor barriers, “house wrap”
paper and other insulating type membranes and products,
including fiberglass, cellulose and other insulation,
(anything that carries an “R” rating) a minimum of three
inches (3”) away from all firebox and chimney surfaces.
IMPORTANT:
The manufacturer is not responsible for
installation and use practices that are beyond the scope
of the product as defined in the product listing and in this
installation manual.
Sheathing materials, such as plywood, particle
board and drywall may cover the smoke dome front at
0” clearance. All combustible sheathing materials that
protrude beyond front of firebox:
Models 82, 96, 108 & 120:
• Sides: 12" (twelve inches) away
• Top of opening: 24" (twenty-four inches) away
Drywall must be cut back from the firebox opening sides
and above the top of the opening according to information
above.
