Section A: Before You Begin
Installation

Introduction to the R-Series Fireplace:
The complete system will require a rebox, a power vent module,
an electrical control panel, and a vent system. The appropriate vent
system will connect the rebox to the power vent module and will be
placed in a vertical or horizontal location. The R-Series replace
is not a heat efcient replace and should not be used with a
thermostat to heat your home. This product is a re feature and
should only be used to enhance the ambiance of the room. Please
review the Installation Checklist on Page 4 for general information on
preparing for a successful installation of your replace.
Install location:
The R-Series replace may be installed in any location that maintains
proper clearances to air conditioning ducts, electrical wiring, and
plumbing. Safety, as well as efciency of operation, must be considered
when selecting the replace location. Try to select a location that does
not interfere with room trafc, has adequate ventilation, and offers
an accessible pathway for Power Vent installation.
Basic Operation:
The gas control components of this replace are located in the bottom
of the rebox below the burner system. All models are supplied with
a Honeywell smart valve gas control and do NOT have a variable
ame control. There are two air switches that control the gas control
system, located in the bottom of the rebox. These gas valves and
pressure switches communicate with the electrical control panel
through a ten conductor cable supplied with the replace.
To operate the replace, Montigo supplies 20' of low voltage wire
from the electrical control panel. Connect the two wire harnesses
to a standard single pole ON/OFF switch to the location of your
choice. You may extend these wires up to 100' in length with a wire
of equal quality.
CAUTION: Do NOT connect power to these wires.
The R320*& R420*are classified underpower vented fireplace systems.
Underno circumstances can these models be installed without a Power Vent Module.
For Horizontal Vent Installations, use 5”/8” Power Vent Motor PVHEX58-300,
PVHFL58-300, or PVHIN58-300 with TMHIN58-40.
For Vertical Vent Installations, use 5”/8” Power Vent Motor PVVEX58-300.

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.
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”).
Ensure the pipe ends male to female slide in a minimum of
1 1/2” of overlap.
Connect all vent sections using a minimum of three sheet
metal screws on the outer pipe ue.
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 female
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.
