Section:
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
11" 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.
1” clearance is maintained on sides and bottom of vent runs and
2” above horizontal vent runs to any combustible material.

Installing The Standoffs
To avoid elevated mantel temperatures, all H*38PR* gas
replaces are required to have the supplied standoffs installed.
The replace is supplied with two standoffs. Bend and install these
standoffs on top of the replace ensuring that the height of the
standoff maintains a 8" clearance.
Figure 6. Installing the H*38PR* standoffs.
† Note: Clearance from top of replace to a ceiling within the
replace enclosure.

Nailing Flange Extension
The 4" nailing ange extension is shipped attached to the top edge
of the replace, see Figure 1.
The nailing ange extension may be substituted with a piece of NON-
Combustible material of the same thermal characteristics, ie:
cement board or equivalent to t the opening. This is recommended
in applications where the facing materials will not adhere to the
metal nailing ange. To remove the Nailing Flange Extension follow
the directions below:

Section 3: Venting
Note: Images are shown without screens for clarity purposes.
However, your replace should not be operated without proper
installation of screens.
Montigo supplies a variety of direct venting and termination
options. The direct vent termination location MUST be selected
such that it is the highest point in the venting assembly. It
should also be selected such that it provides the shortest vent
run possible. Should it be impossible to ensure that the termina-
tion is the highest point or should it be impossible to meet the
venting guidelines laid out below please contact your Montigo
dealer to discuss power venting options.
NOTES FOR PLANNING VENTING:
Venting originates from the unit through the top
or through the rear
Venting can terminate through the roof or through
an exterior wall.
Refer to Appendix A - Termination Locations
to ensure the planned termination location is
acceptable.
Once the termination location has been
established, refer to the appropriate section below
for installation details
All replaces shipped from the factory are Top
vent.
Silicone application is NOT required when joining
Montigo vent pipes and components.

Use the following instructions to convert an H*38PR* for Rear
Vent use:
1. Remove the Rear ue cover and gasket (5" and 8") on the
ue outlet, as shown in Figure 8.
2. Next, Remove the Top ue collar's (5" and 8") on the ue
outlet, as shown in Figure 8.
3. Install the (removed) Rear ue cover and gasket material, to
theTopventoutlet.Fastenthecoverwithincludedhardware,
as illustrated Figure 8a.

Section 3-2: INSTALLINGAROOF MOUNTED DIRECT VENT
TERMINATION (PVTK-1)
This section applies to installations where the direct vent termi-
nation will be roof mounted.
Section 3-2-1: VENTING LAYOUT
Selection of components and details of venting lay out should
adhere to the following guidelines:
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 roong 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 roong materials. (see Figures
9 to 9c).
Terminationlocationmustbeaminimum6’fromamechanical
air inlet.
Foramoredetaileddiagramofallowedterminationlocations,
see Appendix A.
Amaximum of two offsets (each offset is made up of 2-90°
bends) may be made for vertical vent runs.
Firestops must be installed as required by National & local
codes.
Ensure all horizontal runs are supported with a minimum
of 3 supports per 10’of venting.
Install all roof ashing and storm collars as shown.
