FRAMING
ZC-3-01/27000-B and ZC·3-01/FP-201
Framing must be accomplished after the BUCKMATE is set in place. The chimney can be in·
stalled after framing, but installation is considerably more difficult and, in some cases, im·
possible. Therefore,
it is recommended that the chimney be installed prior to framing when a
choice exists.
