Casting Tolerances
Due to the nature of cast iron, dimensional consistency
may vary from one unit to the next and some variation
in surface finish and flatness is to be expected. We have
done our best to control and make allowance for this;
however some variation is inevitable.
Applications
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.

Mantel Requirements
The 536CXB President ZC Cast Front may be installed

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.
