Safety and Warning Information
Operating Your Fireplace for the First Time.
When operating your new fi replace for the fi rst time,
some vapors may be released due to the burning of
curing compounds used in the manufacture of the
appliance. They may cause a slight odor and could
cause the fl ames to be the full height of the fi rebox, or
even slightly higher, for the fi rst few hours of operation.
It is also possible that these vapors could set off any
smoke detection alarms in the immediate vicinity.
These vapors are quite normal on new appliances. We
recommend opening a window to vent the room. After
a few hours use, the vapors will have disappeared and
the fl ames will be at their normal height.
State of California. Proposition 65 Warning.
Fuels used in gas, wood-burning or oil fi red appliances,
and the products of combustion of such fuels, contain
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm.

Horizontal Termination Installations
• The 530 heater may be installed using components from a variety of
manufacturers listed on pages 36–37.
• Allowable vent confi gurations and clearances for the 530 heater are listed in this
manual and apply for all vent components listed on pages 36–37. For details of
component installation, follow instructions packaged with each component.
• The 530 heater is supplied with a smooth 4-by-6-5/8-inch co-axial collar
intended to accept the Valor 551DVK Vent Termination with pipe attached. All
other applications will require an 817VAK Vent Adapter to convert the collar to a
twist-lock type collar. All other manufacturers’ components listed (including Valor
551DVK) have designed their components to fi t this twist-lock type collar.
• Do not mix components from different manufacturers.
• Do not cut pipe lengths, except the 551DVK which may be cut to desired length.
Use adjustable lengths otherwise.
Fix the Vent Unit or 817VAK to
Appliance
• Fit the vent unit or 817VAK over the
inlet and outlet collars of the appliance,
pushing on fi rmly. If using the 551DVK,
ensure that the end of the pipe is cut
cleanly and square. Rotate the pipe to
ensure that the seam will pass through
notch in the wall plates and that the drain
hole is at the bottom.
• Drill through the outer tube and the
appliance collar with no. 6 screws. Make
sure the drill does not penetrate the inner
pipe.
• Secure the vent unit or 817VAK to the
outer collar with two no. 6 thread-cutting
screws supplied.
Through the wall details
• If the wall has combustible material,
appropriate insulation shielding or wall
thimble must be used specifi c to the
manufacturer of the venting. In any case,
a minimum of 10 x 10 inches square
or 10-inch diameter hole is required. If
the wall is totally non-combustible (e.g.
masonry block or concrete) mark for a
7-inch circular hole. In both cases, the
center of the hole should line up with the
center line of the horizontal vent.
• See Horizontal Termination Locations
section for allowable vent terminal
locations.
• Avoid structural elements when locating
the hole through the wall.
Important Installer Notice – Weather Sealing
& Vapor Barriers
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that vent installations
through exterior walls are caulked and weatherproofed in such a
manner as to:
• Prevent rain water from entering the wall from the weather side
by adequately caulking the outer vent plate to the exterior wall
surface.
• Prevent moisture inside the home from penetrating into the wall
structure by ensuring the inside wall plate is adequately sealed to
the inside vapor barrier.
• Prevent rain water and moisture from entering the walls by
sealing the joints between the outer vent tube and the inner and
outer wall plates.
We recommend the use of a high quality polyurethane sealant.
