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 conﬁ 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 ﬁ 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 ﬂ 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, ﬁ 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 ﬁ restop must be installed at the second ﬂ oor and higher ﬂ oors. A ceiling

support should be used below the ﬂ at ceiling. To install the ﬁ 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 ﬁ 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 ﬂ ashing securing it with rooﬁ ng nails.

Fit storm collar and termination cap.
