Casting Tolerances
Due to the nature of cast iron, dimensional consistency may vary from one unit to the next and some variation
in surface nish and atness is to be expected. We have done our best to control and make allowance for this;
however some variation is inevitable.

The Valor model 530 heater with the 563SCB Senator Front comes ready for installation as a zero clearance unit
into combustible type framing, without need for a separate zero clearance kit. The 530 without the standard zero
clearance stand-off spacers may also be installed into existing solid-fuel burning replaces provided space and local
codes permit.
Hearth Requirements
A 7/8” high plinth is supplied to raise the heater and ensure a base at the proper height for the cast front to sit on
regardless of oor nish height. If not using the plinth supplied, you MUST make allowance for oor nish and raise
(shim) the heater up so the bottom of the heater sits at the nished oor/hearth height, otherwise, the cast front will
not sit at the proper height.
A non-combustible hearth is not required in front of this appliance.
Floor & Mantel Requirements
The 530 heater is approved for installation directly on any combustible material other than soft ooring material
such as carpet or vinyl.
The 563SCB Senator Front may be installed with combustible mantels provided clearances are maintained as
indicated in the Dimensions and Clearances, and Framing diagrams below and on the following page. Be aware that
although safe, some combustible materials and nishes at the listed clearances may, over time, discolor, warp, or
show cracks. Care should be taken when choosing materials—consult your replace dealer.
