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.
