INSTALLATION WITH 530 ENGINE
The Valor model 530 heater with the 536CXB President ZC Cast Front comes ready for installation as a zero
clearance unit into combustible type framing, without need for a separate zero clearance kit. The 530 installed
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 Requirements
The 530 heater is approved for installation directly on any combustible material other than soft flooring material
such as carpet or vinyl.
Mantel Requirements
The 536CXB President ZC Cast Front may be installed with a combustible mantel provided clearances are
maintained as indicated in the Dimensions and Clearances below and in the Framing diagrams on the following
pages. 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.
