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 2" from the rear
of the replace to a wall, or any combustible materials, and 9" clearance
from the top of the replace to the underside of any combustible shelf
materials.
For Top Vent applications, the minimum clearance is 2" 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, Figure 4.
For Top or Rear Vent applications where the Minimum height is required
above the replace, (for an alcove or low prole shelf), ALL Materials
MUST BE NON-COMBUSTIBLE, Figure 5. The minimum clearance is
2" from the rear of the replace to a wall, or any combustible materials.
1” clearance is maintained on sides and bottom of vent runs and 2”
above horizontal vent runs to any combustible material.
The replace clearances are shown below:

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 to
meet the venting guidelines laid out below please contact your Montigo
dealer to discuss power venting options.
NOTES FOR PLANNING VENTING:
Ventingoriginates from the unitthroughthetop or through therear
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.
NOTE: Air Bafe is shipped open. If you are top venting, the air bafe
should be closed following these steps:

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).
Termination location must be a minimum 6’ from a mechanical
air inlet.
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.

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 thefemale end only.
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.

H*38DF Gas Fireplace
Installation
Installing the remote On/Off Wall Switch
The H*38DF* 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 19, 20, or 21 for wiring requirements.
NOTE: The switch location must not exceed 30' from the replace.
WARNING:
An inspection of the explosion relief appers and door
MUST be made prior to lighting the replace. 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.
