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 termination 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 side
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

Section 3-2: Installing a Roof 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 8 to 8c).
Termination location must be a minimum 6’ from a mechanical
air inlet.
Termination location must be a minimum 18” from a parapet wall.
For a more detailed diagram of allowed termination locations,
see Appendix A.
A maximum 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
ofthe termination. (Seeinset).Thiswill provide moreheat protection
at the top of the termination, where temperatures are highest.
2. Attach to the faceplate of the termination using four sheet metal
screws.

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 11 with an 'X'.
If the 'X' falls on or above the top boundary of the shaded area, the
installation is acceptable.
Example A: (Acceptable Installation)
If the vertical dimension from the hearth is 120" and the horizontal
run to the wall ange of the vent termination is 138", this would be
an acceptable installation.
Example B: (Unacceptable Installation)
If the vertical dimension from the hearth is 48" and the horizontal
run to the wall ange of the vent termination is 96", this would
NOT be an acceptable installation.
Example C: (Unacceptable Installation)
If the vertical dimension from the oor of the replace is 72" and
the horizontal run to the wall ange of the vent termination is 120",
this would NOT be an acceptable installation.

Connection and installation of the vent components should
adhere to the following guidelines:
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.
Firestops must be installed as required by National & local codes.
Montigo recommends that all exterior corners and joints be sealed
with exterior caulking. However, we encourage you to consult
your Building Envelope Engineer or Waterproong Consultant
for further recommendations.
Section 3-3-2: Venting Components
The following components and associated Montigo part numbers for
installation of a roof or wall mounted termination. Use only Montigo
Vent Components. Use of non-Montigo parts will VOID the warranty
and may impede operation of the replace.
Use any combination of rigid and ex pipe as required and in
any orientation (Male connectors can face in any direction).
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 horizontal 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.
Rigid pipe may be cut less than half way from the femaleendonly.
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.
IMPORTANT:
Please Refer to your Building Envelope Engineer
or Waterproong Consultant for a review of ALL
penetrations through exterior walls or the roof.

Section 3-3-3: Heat Shields
Installing a Wall Mounted RHS8 Heat shield
The RHS8 Heat shield CANNOT be used WITHIN 36" horizontal or
60" vertically of the replace, (see gure 13a). For applications within
these dimensions the RHS101 Heat Shield MUST be used.
To install the RHS8, frame an opening in combustible construction,
Figure 13 below. Slide the Heat shield in place over the vent pipe
which attaches to the replace. After the replace and vent pipe has
been installed, clearances should match the dimensions in Figure 13.

Installation
NOTE: If any of the original wire supplied with the appliance is replaced, it
must be replaced with the same type, or its equivalent.
Installing the remote On/Off Wall Switch
The H*42DF*ST* gas valve may be connected to a wall switch. Do
NOT connect any external power to the remote switch. The valve will
generate its own power on a millivolt circuit or will draw its power from
an AC Connection inside the replace, depending on the model of the
unit. Use only low voltage wire, and DO NOT connect any external
power to the remote switch.
Refer to Figure 15, 16, or 17 for wiring requirements.
NOTE: The switch location must not exceed 30' from the replace.

Section 5-1: 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.
Conversion kits must be installed by a qualied service technician.
Section 5-2: 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:
Gas Pressure Natural Gas Propane
Minimum inlet pressure 5.5in. w.c. 11in. w.c.
Manifold pressure 3.5in. w.c. 10in. w.c.
Note: 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 leak is detected until
bubbling stops completely or leak is no longer detected.
DO NOT use a ame of any kind to test for leaks.
The manifold outlet pressure is set from the factory to the
appropriate pressure but should be veried.
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.
Section 5-3: GAS CONNECTION
See Figure 19 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.
Figure 19. Gas line access.
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. radio, and other electronic components.
CAUTION
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.
NOTICE
WARNING:
An inspection of the explosion relief appers and door
MUST be made prior to lighting the replace. A faulty seal
on the door gasket and/or explosion ports will result in
products of combustion leaking into the living space and
may result in carbon monoxide poisoning.
WARNING
When installing the replace - gas lines, ttings,
accessories or any other objects cannot impede the
proper movement of the door buckles.
