Planning Wall Finish
Non-Combustible Materials Specifications
Non-combustible materials will not ignite and burn.
Such materials are those consisting entirely of steel,
iron, brick, tile, concrete, slate, glass or plasters, or any
combination thereof.
Materials that are reported as passing ASTM E 136,
Standard Test Method for Behavior of Materials in a
Vertical Tube Furnace at 750 °C shall be considered
non-combustible materials.
Combustible Materials Specifications
Materials made of or surfaced with wood, compressed
paper, plant fibers, plastics, or other material that can
ignite and burn, whether flame proofed or not, or
plastered or unplastered shall be considered
combustible materials.
Non-combustible cement board—ZC applications
With most front trims, the 530 fireplace installed in
a zero clearance application will require a ½” [13 mm]
thick non-combustible cement board or equivalent,
to be used as a wall surface immediately above the
unit—see front trim installation manual for more
information.
Extending the cement board well beyond the minimum
shown will help avoid cracking due to differential
expansion of materials. Pre-drill cement board with
oversized holes and do not over-tighten screws to avoid
cracking due to heat expansion.
Standard gypsum wall board may be used beyond the
perimeter of the cement board although it is preferable
not to change materials to help avoid cracking.
Finishing around trims
Additional non-combustible material such as tile and
others may be applied over top of the wall surface or
you may choose to leave it finished clean with no tile.
Be aware that a trim is always required and that the
wall finish thickness must be taken into account for
all installations.
Avoiding Cracking Wall Finishes
If a clean finish with no tile, etc. is desired, joints in the
non-combustible board and the transition to gypsum
board will require special attention if future cracking is
to be controlled.
Shrinkage and differential movement of the framing
and non-combustible wall board can transmit cracking
through to tiles, etc.
Be aware that temperatures on the non-combustible
wall surface above the appliance can exceed 185°F.
Below are some tips on how to best avoid any cracking:
• Allow materials to dry thoroughly before finishing the
wall. Cement board has the ability to absorb up to 30
percent of its weight in water and may shrink as much
as 1/8” over a 48” length when drying from a saturated
condition. Running the fireplace for an extended period
before final finishing will help drive out moisture.
• Always pre-drill screw holes through cement board
and use screws with self-milling head.
• Always use mesh tape over joints.
• Always stagger joints in wall board.
• Behind joints, double up studs or use studs “on the
flat” to add extra support to the joint. Adhesive on
the backside of wall board behind any joints can help
control differential movement.
• Use multiple, thinner coats of joint compound and al-
low to dry thoroughly between coats.
• Ensure framing materials are dry.
• After finishing the wall, introduce heat gradually to slow-
ly dry any excess moisture rather than drying too fast.
• Avoid notching cement board or tiles around corners
of window opening and instead provide a joint that
intersects the corner.
• Avoid using large, one-piece slab of material with a
cut-out in the middle as a surround for the fireplace.
Expansion above the opening will cause cracking at in-
side corners. Provide a joint that intersects the inside
corner to avoid cracking.

Venting
Top or Rear Facing Outlet
The 530 appliance is supplied standard with a rear
facing direct vent outlet and may be converted to a top
facing direct vent outlet with no extra parts required—
see .
The 530 appliance is supplied with a smooth 4 x 6-5/8”
co-axial collar and will require a 817VAK Vent Adapter to
convert the collar to a twist-lock type collar.
Vent Material
This appliance is approved for installation using
4 x 6-5/8-inch co-axial direct vent pipe and accessories
as listed in Approved Venting Components pages 38–39.
This appliance may also be converted to co-linear
venting with two 3-inch pipes for use in solid-fuel
burning fireplaces and chimneys using approved
adapers and accessories. See Co-Linear Conversion
pages 18–19 and Approved Venting Components pages
38–39.
Follow the installation instructions supplied with the
individual venting accessories.
Do not mix components from different manufacturers.
Do not cut pipe lengths; use adjustable lengths instead.
Vent Sealing
Seal all outer co-axial pipe and elbow joints, including
sectioned elbow joints, using high quality, high
temperature 2-inch wide self-adhesive aluminum foil
tape (Nashua-322-2 brand or similar). Wrap the tape
completely around all joints and press firmly to seal.
A high-temperature black silicone sealant may be used
in the outer joints as a substitute to foil tape.
Ensure all the pipe joints have a minimum of 1-1/4 inch
overlap.
Wall Thickness
The appliance vent is suitable for penetrating a
combustible wall assembly up to 14 inches in thickness.
A non-combustible wall can be of any thickness up to
the maximum horizontal run of vent pipe allowed for
the particular installation.
Vent Penetration Through Walls & Ceilings
Combustible
When penetrating through combustible walls and
ceilings, frame a minimum of 10 inches x 10 inches
opening and ensure that the insulation is kept clear of
the vent pipe using either a wall thinble or an attic
insulation shield. Follow the installation instructions
supplied with the individual venting components.
Non-combustible
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.
Co-Linear Direct Vent Installations for Free
Standing or Recessed Installations (flexible
piping)
Converts the appliance outlet collars to accept two
3-inch diameter flexible liners for installation into
existing solid-fuel burning fireplaces and chimneys.
Requires a co-linear adapter at the appliance and either
a co-linear terminal or co-linear-to-co-axial terminal at
the top of the chimney. Sidewall co-linear installation is
also possible using a 720WSK Sidewall Terminak Kit—
see instructions packed with the kit. A list of approved
venting accessories is shown on ....................
Overview
Tape all joints
(including all
elbow joints)

All horizontal pipe runs must be graded 1/4 inch
per foot upwards in the direction of the exhaust
flow. The final pipe length, when terminating
through the wall may be graded downwards slightly
to prevent water migration.
