FRAMING CONSTRUCTION
Except as noted, the BUCKMATE can be installed almost anywhere you desire. There are,
however, a few clearance and framing restrictions that must be followed. See figure 1 and 2
to make sure that these clearance restrictions are met. It is much wiser
to
place your BUCKMATE
correctly at the start of the installation 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
inade·
quate, the floor will require additional support, such as bracing. NOTE: A wooden base con-
structed of plywood or
2"
x
4"
boards is required in order
to
get proper clearance above the
extended hearth (millboard, rock, stone, etc.)
Good planning is essential for a satisfactory installation, therefore, at this point you should have
decided where the BUCKMATE is to 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.
