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.
MODEL Top - Rear Vent † Top - Top Vent † Header Sides Front Rear Venting - Top Venting - Sides, bottom

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.

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:

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.

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.

Installing Heat Guards over Terminations is recommended
in installations where the termination is located within 7' feet
above grade, or above a pedestrian walkway, and may be
Required by code in Public areas.
1. Ensure that the two long mounting brackets are facing the
bottom of the termination. (See inset). This will provide more
heatprotectionatthetopofthetermination,wheretemperatures
are highest.
2. Attach to the faceplate of the termination using four sheet
metal screws.

Section 3-3-1: VENTING LAYOUT
Selection of components and details of venting layout should
adhere to the following guidelines:
Vent terminations must not berecessed in wallsor siding.
For Heat Shield requirements see Section 3-3-3 on
page 18.
Once the proposed venting layout has been determined
refer to either Figure 12, 12a, 14, or 14a to ensure the
layout is acceptable.
Notes 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 12 or 12a.Figure12a.H38PR*orHL38PR*TopVented,wallmountedinstallationwith

“Why use CPI mode”?
CPI means “Continuous Pilot Ignition” or “Standing Pilot”
as it is commonly known. IPI means “Intermittent Pilot
Ignition”, which only initializes the pilot when you are going
to be using the appliance.
There are several reasons why you may choose to use
CPI mode. When a ue is cold it can be difcult to light
the appliance. It can take a bit of time (particularly on tall
vents) to initialize vent action. This can result in “lifting” or
“ghosting” of the ames during the rst two to three minutes
of operation. It is also possible to encounter times when
the replace fails to light successfully. The replace will
then attempt to re-light a second or third time depending
on prevailing temperatures or altitude. When in CPI mode
thepilot alsokeeps thesystem warm. Duringa “cold”start,
condensation will normally form on the inner glass surface
of the door. This condensation will quickly dry, however,
the condensation tends to run down the glass and cause
some streaking. CPI mode helps to resolve this issue. If
CPI mode is used during the winter months the energy it
takes to run the pilot is partially recovered as heat into the
building, so it does not waste as much energy as running
a pilot in the off season.
If you use a wall switch:
A connector is supplied with this unit that can be plugged
intothewireharness connectedto thecontroller.Whenthe
CPI jumper is connected, the pilot will light and remain lit
continuously. Use the wall switch to turn the main burner
on or off. To switch back to IPI mode you must unplug the
CPI jumper.
If you use the remote:

The difference between IPI and CPI:
IPI(IntermittentPilotIgnition)Mode: isafuelsavingmode
in which the pilot is only used when the main burner is on.
CPI (Continuous Pilot Ignition) Mode: The Pilot runs
continuously even when the main burner is off.
