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.
