Dm Chimney Terminations - Isokern 82060 Installation, Operation, Maintenance And Owner's Manual

ISO-Cap
The Iso-Cap is a Spark Arrestor/Rain Cap designed
to fit atop the Isokern DM 54 Chimney Inner Liner and is
available in Stainless Steel, Black Galvanized, Copper or a
Stianless Steel with Damper. (Figure 54)
A 14" diameter sleeve projects from the bottom of
the ISO-Cap and inserts into the DM 54 Inne Liner. A two
inch (2") wide flange at the base of the ISO-Cap cover the
top surface of the DM 54 Inn Liner to protect the liner
from weather.
To Install the ISO-Cap silicone caulk is used to adhere
the two inch (2") flange to the top of the DM 54 Inner
Liner.
Elemental Clay Pots
The Elemental Clay Pots are set in a bed of mortar on
the DM 54 Chimney Inner Liner. The base of the chimney
top need not match the dimensions of the inner liner it is
being installed on top of, but should not impinge on the
inside area of the flue liner except for the maximum 3/4 of
an inch in the corners. The flue liner may extend up inside
the chimney top, or the flue liner may be flush with the
top surface of the chimney cap. Additional anchoring may
be used to prevent damage from tornadoes, hurricanes
or earthquakes. A 1/4 - 1/2 inch diameter hole may be
drilled in at least two opposite sides of the chimney top
and a bar used to anchor the top into the grout or the
chimney walls.
NOTE: The Elemental Clay Pots can only be installed on
the DM54 Chimney System. The Clay Pots are not tested
and listed for use with Metal Chimney Flue Systems.
Custom Chimney Caps
A non-combustible, weather tight chase flashing
must be used to cover the top of the chimney chase. Be
sure to seal the joint where the DM liner passes through
the chase top flashing for positive weather seal. Chase
flashings may be supplied by others.
Special design caps may be designed and constructed
by others and must be fashioned so as not to restrict the
flow of smoke and gases out the top of the flue opening.
The figure below depicts common chimney terminations.

Check with local building codes to establish the need
for chimney caps and spark arrestors or for any limitations
to their design and use.
