•
The 530 heater may be installed using components from a variety of
manufacturers listed on pages 32–33.
•
Allowable vent configurations 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 intended
to accept the Valor 551DVK Vent Termination with pipe attached. All other
applications will require an 817VAK Vent Adapter to convert the collar to a
twist-lock type collar. All other manufacturers' components listed (including Valor
551DVK) have designed their components to fit this twist-lock type collar.
•
Do not mix components from different manufacturers with the exception of the
final piece through the wall which may be a Valor 551DVK Vent Termination with
pipe attached.
•
Do not cut pipe lengths, except the 551DVK which may be cut to desired length.
Use adjustable lengths otherwise.
Fix the Vent Unit or 817VAK to
Appliance
•
Fit the vent unit or 817VAK over the
inlet and outlet collars of the appliance,
pushing on firmly. If using the 551DVK,
ensure that the end of the pipe is cut
cleanly and square. Rotate the pipe to
ensure that the seam will pass through
notch in the wall plates and that the drain
hole is at the bottom.
•
Drill through the outer tube and the
appliance collar with #6 screws. Make
sure the drill does not penetrate the inner
pipe.
•
Secure the vent unit or 817VAK to the
outer collar with two #6 thread-cutting
screws supplied.
Through the wall details
•
If the wall has combustible material,
appropriate insulation shielding or wall
thimble must be used specific to the
manufacturer of the venting. In any case,
a minimum of 10" x 10" or 10" diameter
hole is required. If the wall is totally
non-combustible (e.g. masonry block
or concrete) mark for a 7" circular hole.
In both cases, the center of the hole
should line up with the center line of the
horizontal vent.
•
See Horizontal Termination Locations
section for allowable vent terminal
locations.
•
Avoid structural elements when locating
the hole through the wall.

Important Installer Notice – Weather Sealing
& Vapor Barriers
It is the installer's responsibility to ensure that vent installations
through exterior walls are caulked and weatherproofed in such a
manner as to:
•
Prevent rain water from entering the wall from the weather side
by adequately caulking the outer vent plate to the exterior wall
surface.
•
Prevent moisture inside the home from penetrating into the wall
structure by ensuring the inside wall plate is adequately sealed to
the inside vapor barrier.
•
Prevent rain water and moisture from entering the walls by
sealing the joints between the outer vent tube and the inner and
outer wall plates.
We recommend the use of a high quality polyurethane sealant.
