Figure 4. Combustible Wall Clearances
P38, PL38, P42, PL42:
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 0" 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 0" 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.
To avoid elevated mantel temperatures, all Phenom gas replaces
are required to have the supplied standos installed. The replace is
supplied with two standos. Bend and install these standos on top
of the replace ensuring that the height of the stando maintains a
7 1/2" clearance.
P52, PL52:
When installing a shelf over the top of the replaces, the following
guidelines must be adhered to:
For Rear Vent multi-elbow applications, the minimum clearance is 1"
from the elbow o the rear of the replace to a wall, or any combustible
materials, and 12" 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 26" to the
underside of any combustible shelf materials.

Section 3: Venting
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:
• Ventingcan originate from theunitthrough the top orthrough 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.
Section 3-1: Converting to Rear Vent
Use the following instructions to convert a unit for Rear Vent use:
1. Remove the rear ue cover and gasket (5" and 8") on the ue
outlet, as shown in Figure 5.
2. Next, remove the top ue collar (5" and 8") on the ue outlet, as
shown in Figure 5.
3. Install the (removed) rear ue cover and gasket material, to the
top vent outlet. Fasten the cover with included hardware, as
illustrated Figure 5.b
4. Install the (5" and 8") collars to the rear vent outlet using the
included hardware, as illustrated Figure 5.b

3. Install the separately ordered 8" reducing collar (RVA108) on the
Top or Rear vent outlet.
NOTE: If power venting, vent run must be reduced to 5"/8" or 4"/7".

Roof mounted terminations
The following details are some possible congurations for roof mounted
terminations. See below.
This section applies to installations where the direct vent termination
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 aected).
• 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 6 to 6c).
• Terminationlocation must bea minimum 6’from a mechanicalair inlet.
• 1” clearance is maintained on sides and bottom of vent runs and 2”
above horizontal vent runs to any combustible material.
• For a more detailed diagram of allowed termination locations, see
Appendix A.
• A maximum of two osets (each oset 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.

The VSS Termination shield is installed when the exterior of a structure
is clad with Vinyl siding. It is placed directly above, and on-center with
the termination.
Installation of termination frame at time of framing
Terminations with a MSR frame allow the installation of the frame prior
to installation of the termination.
1. Frame the termination opening to 12" x 12".
2. Secure the MSR Frame to the exterior sheathing of the structure.
3. Fasten the termination to the MSR Frame using a minimum of 4 screws.
1. Frame the MOSR opening to 12" x 12".
2. Fasten the MOSR frame to the interior side of the studs, concrete,
or nished wall construction using a minimum of 4 screws.
3. Insert the termination into the MOSR frame as shown here, (from
the inside) and attach to the MOSR by installing a min. quantity of 4
bolts into the threaded nuts on the MOSR Frame.
Installation of termination frame at time of framing in masonry
Terminations with a BSR frame allow the installation of the frame in
masonry prior to the installation of the termination
1. Frame the BSR opening to 12" x 12".
2. Secure the BSR Frame to the exterior sheathing of the structure.
3. Fasten the termination to the BSR Frame using a minimum of 4 screws.

Installing heat guards
Installing heat guards overterminations is recommended ininstallations
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 heat protection
at the top of the termination, where temperatures are highest.
2. Attach to the faceplate of the termination using four sheet metal
screws.

Selection of components and details of venting layout should adhere
to the following guidelines:
• Vent terminations must not be recessed in walls or siding.
• For Heat Shield requirements see Section 3-3 on page 14.
• Once the proposed venting layout has been determined refer to
Figure 8, 8b, 8c to ensure the layout is acceptable.
Notes Wall Mounted Terminations: TOP VENT
• All measurements for vertical or horizontal runs are measured from
center of the vent pipe.
• Venting runs must fall within the limits set by the venting graph,
see Figure 8 or 8b.
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 144", this would be an
acceptable installation.
ExampleB:(UnacceptableInstallation)
If the vertical dimension from the hearth is 36" and the horizontal run

acceptable installation.
ExampleC:(UnacceptableInstallation)
If the vertical dimension from the oor of the replace is 60" and the

Notes Wall Mounted Terminations: REAR 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 11 or 11.b
• Fireplace must be converted to Rear Vent conguration prior to
running vent, see Figure 8 and 8a.
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 144", this would be an
acceptable installation.
ExampleB:(UnacceptableInstallation)
If the vertical dimension from the hearth is 36" and the horizontal run
to the wall ange of the vent termination is 84", this would not be an
acceptable installation.
ExampleC:(UnacceptableInstallation)
If the vertical dimension from the oor of the replace is 60" and the
horizontal run to the wall ange of the vent termination is 144", this
would not be an acceptable installation.
Rear Venting Graph P42, PL42:
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 or 11.b with an 'X'.
If the 'X' falls on or above the top boundary of the shaded area, the
installation is acceptable.
NATURAL GAS AND PROPANE VENT RUN
Figure 11.b Straight run, Rear Vented, wall mounted termination. The vent run must comply with
the Venting Graph for Rear vent, wall mounted terminations, Figure 11. NOTE: Straight through
the wall rear vent available for Natural Gas only.
