Front Trims
Various fronts are available for the 530I engine. This
engine may be installed as a free standing, zero
clearance or insert application depending on which
style front trim is selected. The front trim style
affects the framing cavity, clearances and position
of the engine. A front trim kit is required for all
applications and should be on site when the engine
is installed as the parts to make the engine suitable
for zero clearance are supplied with the front trim kits
(except 549 front).
All horizontal pipe runs must be graded 1/4 inch per
foot upwards in the direction of the exhaust  ow. The
 nal pipe length, when terminating through the wall
may be graded downwards slightly to prevent water
migration.
