New Buck Corporation 80ZC manual Framing Construction

FRAMING CONSTRUCTION

Except as noted, the Hodel ZC-80 can be installed almost anywhere

you desire. There are, however, a few clearance and framing

restrictions that must be followed. See figures 1 and 2 to make

sure that these clearance restrictions are met. It is much wiser to place your Hodel ZC-80 correctly at the start of the installa- tion than to be forced to relocate it after much of the work is done.

You must ensure that the floor is of adequate strength to accept

the load of this unit. If inadequate, the floor will require additional support, such as bracing. A wooden base constructed of plywood or 2" x boards is required in order to get a raised hearth look.

Good planning is essential for a satisfactory installation, therefore, at this point you should have decided where the Hodel ZC-80 ivill be located and the route the chimney will follow to

the roof-straight up, or chase. If you cannot decide the best route, contact your Buck Stove Dealer for assistance with the planning.

CHIMNEY INSTALLATIONS

A.Thoroughly clean the area where the unit will be placed.
