Installing The Standoffs
To avoid elevated mantel temperatures, all L42DF* 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 6" clearance.
Figure 7. Installing the standoff's.
Figure 8. Installing the Nailing Flange Extension.
Installing the Nailing Flange Extension
Once the replace is placed into the rough framed opening, the supplied
Nailing Flange Extension (Part No. L42087) must be fasten securely into
place, with nails or wood screws. as shown in Figure 8.
Note: The nailing ange extension can be substituted with a piece of
NON-Combustiblematerial of the same size and thermal characteristics,
ie: cement board or equivalent. This is recommended in applications
where the facing materials will not adhere to the metal nailing ange.

†NOTE: Clearance from top of replace to a ceiling within the replace
enclosure.
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 10" 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 21" to the
underside of any combustible shelf materials.

Framing the Heat Shield
Included with the L42DF* Gas replace, is a framing heat shield Kit. This
Kit is fabricated from galvanized steel and arrives with three (3) pieces,
as shown below. The shields protect all adjacent combustible materials,
mantels and mouldings from excessive heat radiated by the replace.
NOTE: The shields must be installed as shown in Figures 9 - 9b.
Step 1. Fasten the two Side shield's (L42FS01x2) rst, and ensure they
are fastened in place as shown. These are installed with the Wide anges
facing the center of the replace opening, and the shallow ange toward
inside of room. These are also fastened with nails or screws, ush with
framing as shown in Figure 9 and Inset.

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 unitthroughthe top orthroughthe rear
