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 Iso-wool 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 27)
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 28)
If installing screws, do not penetrate the inner liner of
the chimney with screws. Maintain a 2 inch (2") clearance
to combustibles. Do not fill the clearance space with any
materials. If an offset is required, refer to Elbow Offset
Installation Section.
