Access Modification and Fire Brick Installation

Through-Wall Accesses:

Gas Line Feed: The provision for installation of a gas pipe

is only for connection to a decorative gas appliance or a gas

log lighter. The decorative gas appliance must comply with

Outdoor for Decorative Gas Appliances for installation

in Vented Fireplaces, ANSI Z21.60. The decorative gas

appliance should be installed in accordance with the National

Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.

Important: Gas line for gas log sets used in the Isokern

firebox can be routed through the side wall, back wall or floor

of the firebox by drilling an appropriately sized hole using a

masonry drill bit.

Be sure to follow the gas log Appliance

Manufacturer's explicit electrical line connection instructions

for vented masonry fireplace installations.

Note: Gas Line and Electric Line must be fed through separate

access holes.

CAUTION: All access holes must be grouted with mortar to

seal any gaps or cracks.

Fire Brick Installation:

The manufacturer requires that the firebox be lined

with a minimum one and one-eighth (1-1/8") thick rated fire

brick. The pattern for the fire brick lining is an owner option.

Standard N or S -Type brick mortar is a suitable fire brick

mortar. Add a small portion of Earthcore mortar to make it a

sticky consistency with a 1/4" notch trowel bed joint. Because

of different climates, the use of good masonry practices for

your area should also be considered.

Hint: Before application, wet down the surface area, then

apply water dipped firebrick for improved adherence.

All required through-wall accesses (gas and electrical

line feeds and combustion air supply access holes) should be

drilled before the required fire brick lining is installed.

It takes a total of about five gallons of mortar mix

(dry measure) to fire brick line a firebox. (60 & 72 will require

more mortar)

Face joints of one quarter inch (1/4") to three-eighths

inch (3/8") give a good appearance to the finished brick-work

however, larger face joint dimensions are also acceptable.

Step 1. Wet mop the inside of the firebox with a damp sponge

to remove dust and loose particles from the interior before

installing fire brick.

Step 2. Start the fire brick at the front edge of the floor of the

Isokern firebox, proceeding inward toward the back.

Step 3. Next, apply fire brick to the back wall of the unit

starting at the bottom of the back wall and working upward to

the top of the back wall.

Step 4. Finally, set the side wall fire brick by starting at the

front edge of the unit's side wall and working inward toward

the back wall fire brick.

Earthcore makes no claims as to the performance

of fire brick or fire brick mortars.
