Dimensions & Clearances - Miles Industries Valor 530 Guide D'installation

INSTALLATION WITH 530 ENGINE
The Valor model 50 heater with the 56SCB 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 fireplaces 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 floor finish height. If not using the plinth supplied, you MUST make allowance for floor finish and raise
(shim) the heater up so the bottom of the heater sits at the finished floor/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 flooring 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 finishes at the listed clearances may, over time, discolor, warp, or
show cracks. Care should be taken when choosing materials—consult your fireplace dealer.
