Clearances
When installing a shelf over the top of the replaces, the following guidelines
must be adhered to:
For Rear Vent applications, the minimum clearance is 1" from the rear of the
replace to a wall, or any combustible materials, and 13" clearance from the top
of the replace to the underside of any combustible shelf materials.
For Top Vent applications, the minimum clearance is 1" from the rear of the
replace to a wall, or any combustible materials, and 17 1/2" to the underside of
any combustible shelf materials.
To avoid elevated mantel temperatures, all H*38C* gas fireplaces
are required to have the supplied standoffs installed.
The replace is supplied with two standoffs. Bend and install these standoffs in
the channel directly behind the 4" nailing extension ensuring that the height of
the standoff maintains a 8" clearance.

TERMINATION
VENTING LAYOUT
The maximum termination point is 32’ above the replace (NOTE: if the
maximum termination height is used, the ame pattern may be affected).
The Vertical termination must be a minimum 2’ higher than where the
termination exits the roong materials, (asphalt shingles, cedar shakes, etc).
This distance should be measured from the high side of the roof slope where
the ue ashing intersects the roong materials. (see Figures 11 to 11c *).
Termination location must be a minimum 6’ from a mechanical air inlet.
Termination location must be a minimum 18” from a parapet wall.
A maximum of two offsets (each offset is made up of 2-90° bends) may
be made.
Install a restop at any location where venting passes through combustible
materials and construction.
Utilize support straps, or support plates, and rings (as required) to meet
acceptable building practices.
Install all roof ashing and storm collars as shown.

VENTING COMPONENTS
Use any combination of rigid and Flex pipe as required.
Flex sections may be stretched up to 50% of their total length (e.g. a 24”
section maybe stretched to 36”).
Connect all vent sections using a minimum of three sheet metal screws
on the outer pipe ue.
Ensure the pipe ends male to female slide in a minimum of 1 1/2” of overlap.
Ensure all runs are supported with a minimum of 3 supports per 10’ of venting.
When hanging/ supporting venting, ensure that 1” clearance is maintained
on sides and bottom of vent runs and 2” above horizontal vent runs to any
combustible material.
Ensure when cutting sections of rigid pipe to maintain integrity of internal
supports.
Place the springs, supplied with the pipe kit, between the outer and inner
pipes to keep the pipes separate and avoid any possible hot spots.
Montigo recommends the use of a ex section for the nal pipe connected
directly to the replace offering greater exibility of installation and absorption
of movement.
When penetrating a combustible ceiling, a ceiling restop must be used.
Firestops must be used in conjunction with Rigid Pipe only.
Montigo recommends that all exterior corners and joints be sealed with
exterior caulking however we encourage you to consult your Building
Envelope Engineer or Waterproong Consultant for further recommendations.

VENTING LAYOUT
Vent terminations must not be recessed in walls or siding.
All through-the–wall terminations within 58" Horizontal distance of the
replace must have a Montigo Heat Shield (RHS102) installed. See
All through-the-wall terminations beyond 58" Horizontal distance of the
replace must have a Montigo Heat Shield (RHS101) installed. See
Once the proposed venting layout has been determined refer to either
to ensure the layout is acceptable.
Wall Mounted Terminations: Top Vent
All dimension lengths for vertical or horizontal runs are measured from
center of the vent pipe.
Venting runs must fall within the limits set by the venting graphs, see Figure 15.
The Venting Graph
Measure the vertical height from the replace hearth to the centre of the termination
and the horizontal run from the replace ue collar to the wall ange of the termination.
Plot on the Venting Graph Figure 15 with an 'X'.
If the 'X' falls on or above the top boundary of the shaded area, the installation is
acceptable.
If the vertical dimension from the hearth is 90" and the horizontal
run to the wall ange of the vent termination is 60", this would be

Section:
Connection and installation of the vent components should
adhere to the following guidelines:
When penetrating a combustible ceiling, a ceiling restop must be used.
Montigo recommends that all exterior corners and joints be sealed
with exterior caulking however we encourage you to consult your
Building Envelope Engineer or Waterproong Consultant for further
recommendations.
VENTING COMPONENTS
Use any combination of rigid and Flex pipe as required.
Flex sections may be stretched up to 50% of their total length (e.g. a 24”
section maybe stretched to 36”).
Connect all vent sections using a minimum of three sheet metal screws
on the outer pipe ue..
Ensure the pipe ends male to female slide in a minimum of 1 1/2” of overlap.
Ensure all runs are supported with a minimum of 3 supports per 10’ of venting.
When hanging/ supporting venting, ensure that 1” clearance is maintained
on sides and bottom of vent runs and 2” above horizontal vent runs to any
combustible material.
Ensure when cutting sections of rigid pipe to maintain integrity of internal
supports.
Place the springs, supplied with the pipe kit, between the outer and inner
pipes to keep the pipes separate and avoid any possible hot spots.
Montigo recommends the use of a ex section for the nal pipe connected
directly to the replace offering greater exibility of installation and absorption
of movement.
º
º
º
º
All venting material must be sealed with high heat
silicone sealant RV230. All venting material to be
Montigo flex pipe, with as few joints as possible.
All joints use MVA vent splice, sealed thoroughly
with silicone. Montigo will not be held responsible
for any water damage that may occur from not
installing the equipment as specified by this

Section5:InstallingtheGasLine
FUEL CONVERSION
Verify that your replace is compatible with your available gas type.
(Natural Gas or Propane shown by "N" or "L" in your model number
If gas type is not compatible, contact your local Montigo representative
to purchase a conversion kit.
Conversion kits must be installed by a qualied service technician.
GAS PRESSURE
Optimum appliance performance requires proper input pressures.
Gas line sizing requirements will be determined in ANSI Z221.3
National Fuel Gas Code in the USA and CAN/CGA B149 in Canada.
Pressure requirements are:
The manifold outlet pressure is set from the factory to the appropriate
pressure but should be veried.
To check pressures, control valves have a provision to remove a
1/8” N.PT. plug to be tted with a hose barb.
Montigo requires a service shut off valve be located in an accessible
location to isolate the gas supply.
Only install gas shut-off valves approved for use by the state, province,
or other governing body in which the replace is being installed.
GAS CONNECTION
See Figure 22 below for location of gas line access.
Flexible gas connectors must not exceed 3 feet in length, unless
allowable within local regulations.
Connect incoming gas line to the 1/2"or 3/8" gas inlet port.
Purge all air out of gas line.
Check appliance connection, valve and valve train under normal
operating pressure with a commercially available leak check solution.
DO NOT USE A FLAME OF ANY KIND TO TEST FOR LEAKS.

After gas line is connected, each
appliance connection, valve and valve
train MUST be checked while under
normal operating pressure with either a
Liquid Solution, or Leak Detection
Device, to locate any source of leak.
Tighten any areas where bubbling
appears or a leak is detected until
bubbling stops completely or leak is no
longer detected. DO NOT use a flame
of any kind to test for leaks. A fire or
explosion will occur, causing serious
injusy, property damage or death.

DANGER
When pressure testing the fireplace,
Gas line, and input system follow the
appropriate local codes or your area.
DO NOT connect the fireplace to
pressures in excess of 1/2lb. This will
damage the gas control valve.

Mantels & Surrounds
National Canadian Gas Association mantel test requirements are for re
hazard prevention to combustible materials.
New technology, to meet consumer and government demands for the wise use of
energy, has prompted us to manufacture many models of replaces which are hot,
fuel and energy efcient.
Please be aware; temperatures over the mantel will rise above normal room
temperature and walls above replace may be hot to touch.
Warning:
When covering the upper metal portion of the replace with a non-combustible
material Please Note: The decorative facing materials may be subject to temperatures
in excess of 250° F. This should be considered when selecting facing materials.
We recommend careful consideration be given to the effects of elevated mantel
temperatures which may be in excess of product design, for example: candles,
plastic or pictures. This can cause melting, deformation, discoloration or premature
failure of T.V. and radio components.
Painting:
Special care is recommended by the Master Painters and Decorators Association,
when painting the replace surrounds, to select and apply a quality Alkyd sealer prior
to the applying of latex paints. This is to prevent leaching of water from evaporation
and causing a brownish staining effect to paint over coats.
FinishingAroundtheFireplace
Combustible mantels and mouldings may be safely installed over the top and on the
front of the replace provided that they do not project beyond shaded area shown
in Figure 24.
Fireplace Facing
When sizing the nish material for your replace, it is important to remember the
following:
The face of the replace may be painted to match the room decor, provided you use
a heat-resistant paint. Decorative facing must not extend past the replace opening
at all, because it will interfere with the access to retainers for removal of glass door.
XW2034
We recommend careful consideration
be given to the effects of elevated
mantel temperatures which may be in
excess of product design, for example:
candles, plastic or pictures. This can
cause melting, deformation, discolor-
ation or premature failure of T.V. radio,
and other electronic components.
CAUTION
Do not use ammonia based or abrasive
cleaners on the glass, they will
permanently etch the surface. Use an
approved gas fireplace glass cleaner
such as Kel-Kem or White off.
