THIS UNIT IS NOT FOR USE WITH SOLID FUEL.
Installation and repair should be PERFORMED by a
qualied service person. The appliance and venting
system should be INSPECTED before initial use and at
least annually by a professional service person. More
frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive
lint from carpeting, bedding, etc. It is IMPERATIVE that
the unit’s control compartment, burner, and circulating
air passageways BE KEPT CLEAN to provide for
adequate combustion and ventilation air.
Always KEEP the appliance clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other ammable
vapors and liquids.
NEVER OBSTRUCT the ow of combustion and
ventilation air. Keep the front of the appliance CLEAR
of all obstacles and materials for servicing and proper
operation.
Due to the high temperature, the appliance should
be LOCATED out of trafc areas and away from
furniture and draperies. Clothing or ammable material
SHOULD NOT BE PLACED on or near the appliance.
This unit MUST be used with a vent system as
described in this installation manual. NO OTHER vent
system or components MAY BE USED.
This gas replace and vent assembly MUST be vented
directly to the outside and MUST NEVER be attached
to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel burning
appliance. Each gas appliance MUST USE a separate
vent system. Common vent systems are PROHIBITED.
INSPECT the external vent cap on a regular basis to
make sure that no debris, plants, trees, shrubs are
interfering with the air ow.
The glass door assembly MUST be in place and sealed
before the unit can be placed into safe operation.

as it gets very hot when operating.
DO NOT use this heater as a temporary source of heat
during construction.
NOTE: When operating your new replace for the 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 ames to be the full height of the rebox, or even slightly higher, for the 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 ames will be at their normal height.

Horizontal Termination Installations
The 530 heater may be installed using components from a variety of
manufacturers listed on pages 32–33.
Allowable vent congurations and clearances for the 530 heater are listed in this
manual and apply for all vent components listed on pages 32–33. For details of
component installation, follow instructions packaged with each component.
The 530 heater is supplied with a smooth 4”/6-5/8” 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 t this twist-lock type collar.
Do not mix components from different manufacturers with the exception of the
nal piece through the wall which may be a Valor 551DVK Vent Termination with
pipe attached.
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 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 #6 screws. Make
sure the drill does not penetrate the inner
pipe.
Secure the vent unit or 817VAK to the
outer collar with two #6 thread-cutting
screws supplied.
Through the wall details
If the wall has combustible material,
appropriate insulation shielding or wall
thimble must be used specic to the
manufacturer of the venting. In any case,
a minimum of 10” x 10” or 10” diameter
hole is required. If the wall is totally
non-combustible (e.g. masonry block
or concrete) mark for a 7” 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.

Vertical Termination Installations
All Co-axial Vent Installations
The 530 heater may be installed using components from
a variety of manufacturers listed on pages 32–33.
Allowable vent congurations and clearances for the
530 heater are listed in this manual and apply for all
vent components listed on pages 32–33. For details of
component installation, follow instructions packaged
with each component.
The 530 heater is supplied with a smooth 4”/6-5/8”
co-axial collar. All vertical termination applications will
require an 817VAK Vent Adapter to convert the collar to
a twist-lock type. All other manufacturers’ components
listed have designed their components to t the twist-
lock type collar.
Do not mix components from different manufacturers.
Do not cut pipe lengths. Use adjustable lengths. Check
the roof pitch to determine which roof ashing will be
needed.
The minimum clearances to combustible materials all
round the vent pipes must be in accordance with the
dimensions shown previously in this manual.
If using rear vent connection to the appliance, t a 90°
elbow to the appliance vent adapter.
Place the appliance in its proper location.
Drop a plumb from the ceiling to the center of the
appliance vent opening. Mark the position on the ceiling.
Drill a small hole at the marked position.
Determine the position where the vent will pass
through the roof. If directly above the position where it
penetrates the ceiling, drop a plumb from the roof to the
small hole in the ceiling and mark the roof at this spot.
If rafters or other obstructions will prevent a vertical exit
or if clear attic space is desired, the roof outlet can be
offset using elbows. Drill a small hole at the marked
position.
A ceiling restop must be installed at the second oor and higher oors. A ceiling
support should be used below the at ceiling. To install the restop and support,
cut and frame a 10” (254mm) square hole centered on the small hole previously
drilled.
Fit vent accessory elbows and pipe lengths as required up through ceiling support
boxes and restops. If installation includes offset, support the offsetting pipes
every 3 feet (1m) with wall straps.
Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small hole. The hole must allow for the
minimum clearances to combustible materials
Fit pipe lengths through the roof. Fit roof ashing securing it with roong nails.
Fit storm collar and termination cap.

Attaching Air Restrictors—Appliances with Vertical Vent Rise Only
No restrictors are required for appliances which only have a horizontal vent run.
Restrictors for co-linear applications are the same as required for co-axial of same
height—see table below.
There are three types of restrictors supplied with each #530 engine unit. They are
slightly different in size. They can be identied by the number printed on them.
The restrictors cover part of the openings in the rebox rear wall ports.
Each restrictor can be tted at either Maximum or Minimum port opening.
Types 1, 2 and 3 are supplied with ceramic log appliances.
Types 4, 5, and 6 are supplied with ceramic coal appliances.
The correct restrictors to be tted for each type of installation are shown in the table
below.
To t the restrictors, remove the center screws from the rear ports and t the
restrictors using these screws.
To set the restrictors at maximum port opening, slacken the bottom screws in the
ports, slide the restrictors down as far as possible and tighten the screws over the
restrictors.
To set the restrictors at minimum port opening, slide the restrictors up as far as
possible and tighten the screws.
With the largest restrictors, the upper screws may need to be slackened to allow
the restrictors to go under the screw heads.

Gas Supply Installation
It’s preferable to rough-in the gas line at this point before proceeding with the rebox installation.
The appliance is supplied for supply gas connection at the rear left corner of the case. Supply line connection to
the inlet pipe of the appliance is 3/8”NPT (female).
Alternatively, the appliance inlet pipe may be removed and the supply line routed directly to the control unit
having a 3/8” NPT female thread. Take care not to torque the valve or damage the wire connectors on the valve.
An isolating valve could be tted within the appliance case. If the circulating fan is to be installed, be aware that
the supply pipe should follow the route of the original appliance inlet pipe in order to clear the fan. If intending to
t an internal isolating valve, check that it will be clear of the fan.
Use only new black iron or steel pipes or copper tubing if acceptable—check local codes. Note that in USA,
copper tubing must be internally tinned for protection against sulfur compounds.
Unions in gas lines should be of ground joint type.
The gas supply line must be sized and installed to provide a supply of gas sufcient to meet the maximum
demand of the appliance without undue loss of pressure.
Sealant used must be resistant to the action of all gas constituents including LP gas. Sealant should be applied
lightly to male threads to ensure excess sealant does not enter gas lines.
The supply line should include a manual shut-off valve and union to allow the appliance to be disconnected for
servicing.
Pressure test the supply line for leaks.
The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-
off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less
than 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).
Failure to either disconnect or isolate the appliance during
pressure testing may result in regulator or valve damage.
Consult your dealer in this case.
The minimum supply pressure is given in Specications
section of this manual.
All piping and connections must be tested for leaks after
installation or servicing. All leaks must be corrected
immediately.
When testing for leaks:
Make sure that the appliance is turned off.
Open the manual shut-off valve.
Test for leaks by applying a liquid detergent or soap
solution to all joints. Bubbles forming indicate a gas
leak. Never use an open ame to check for leaks.
Correct any leak detected immediately.
The pressure test tapping locations are shown in gure above. A built-in non-adjustable regulator controls the
burner manifold pressure. The correct pressure range is shown in the table in the Specications section of
this manual. The pressure check should be made with the burner alight and at its highest setting. See Lighting
Instructions section for full operating details.
