R520 Power Vent Indoor Gas Fireplace
Installation
12/13/2017
Introduction to the R-Series Fireplace:
The complete system will require a firebox, a power vent module,
an electrical control panel, and a vent system. The appropriate vent
system will connect the firebox to the power vent module and will be
placed in a vertical or horizontal location. The R-Series fireplace
is not a heat efficient fireplace and should not be used with a
thermostat to heat your home. This product is a fire 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 fireplace.
Install location:
The R-Series fireplace may be installed in any location that maintains
proper clearances to air conditioning ducts, electrical wiring, and
plumbing. Safety, as well as efficiency of operation, must be considered
when selecting the fireplace location. Try to select a location that does
not interfere with room traffic, has adequate ventilation, and offers
an accessible pathway for Power Vent installation.
Basic Operation:
The gas control components of this fireplace are located in the bottom
of the firebox below the burner system. All models are supplied with
a Honeywell smart valve gas control and do NOT have a variable
flame control. There are two air switches that control the gas control
system, located in the bottom of the firebox. These gas valves and
pressure switches communicate with the electrical control panel
through a ten conductor cable supplied with the fireplace.
To operate the fireplace, 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.
ON/OFF control of this appliance can also be performed using an
optional remote control available from your Montigo dealer.
The R520* are classified under power vented fireplace systems.Under no circumstances can these models be installed without a Power Vent Module.
For Horizontal Vent Installations, use 5”/10” Power Vent Motor PVHEX510-300 or
PVHFL510-300.
For Vertical Vent Installations, use 5”/10” Power Vent Motor PVVEX510-300.

Connection and installation of the vent components
should adhere to the following guidelines:
Montigo recommends the use of a flex section for the final pipe
connected directly to the fireplace offering greater flexibility
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 Waterproofing
Consultant for further recommendations.
Use any combination of rigid and flex 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 flue.
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 Waterproofing Consultant for a review of ALL penetrations through exterior walls or the roof.

Finishing Around the Fireplace
Combustible mantels and mouldings may be safely installed over the
top and on the front of the fireplace provided that they do not project
beyond shaded area shown in Figure 20.
The face of the fireplace may be painted to match the room decor,
provided you use a heat-resistant paint. Decorative facing must not
extend past the fireplace opening at all, because it will interfere with
the access to retainers for removal of glass door.
Mantels & Surrounds
NOTE: National Canadian Gas Association mantel test requirements
are for fire hazard prevention to combustible materials.
New technology, to meet consumer and government demands for the
wise use of energy, has prompted us to manufacture many models
of fireplaces which are hot, fuel and energy efficient.
Please be aware; temperatures over the mantel will rise above normal
room temperature and walls above fireplace may be hot to touch.
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. and
radio components.
Side wall clearances are 6". Combustible surrounds may be installed
with 6" clearance to the side of the fireplace as shown in Figure 21.

General
■ Have the fireplace and installation inspected yearly. The
inspection must include, but is not limited to, the following:
• A visual check of the entire vent system and termination.
• An inspection of the door gaskets to ensure a proper seal.
• An inspection of the burner, vent run, and primary air
openings.
• An inspection of the gas valve, gas components, and pilot
flame. For your convenience a 1/8" manifold pressure tap
is supplied on the gas valve for a test gauge connection.
■ For Natural Gas this appliance requires a minimum inlet pressure
of 5.5" W.C. and a manifold pressure of 3.5" W.C.
■ For Propane Gas this appliance requires a minimum inlet
pressure of 11" W.C. and a manifold pressure of 10" W.C.
■ Always keep the fireplace area clear and free of combustible
materials, as well as gasoline and other flammable vapors and
liquids.
■ Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the
appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any
gas control which has been under water.
Cleaning
When the fireplace is first activated, there may be some smoking and
a visible film may be left on the glass. This is a normal condition, and
is the result of burning of protective coatings on new metal.
■ Glass must be cleaned periodically to remove any film (which is
a normal by-product of combustion) which may be visible. Film
can easily be removed by removing the door, as shown on Page
29. Handle the door carefully, and clean it with non-abrasive,
non-ammonia based glass cleaners. One of the most effective
products is Kel-Kem.
■ Silicone seals on inner door during initial firing will "off gas", leaving
a visual deposit of a white substance on combustion chamber
walls. This can easily be removed using normal household
products.
■ Use a vacuum cleaner or whisk broom to keep the control
compartment, burner, and firebox free from dust and lint.
Figure 23. Gas valve.
Gas Control ValveDo not use ammonia based or abrasive cleaners on the glass, they will permanently
etch the surface. Use an approved gas fireplace glass cleaner such as Kel-Kem or White off.

(1) Revise NFPA-54 section 10.5.4.2 by adding a second exception as follows:
Existing chimneys shall be permitted to have their use continued when a gas conversion burner is installed, and shall be equipped with a manually
reset device that will automatically shut off the gas to the burner in the event of a sustained back-draft.
(2) Revise 10.8.3 by adding the following additional requirements:
(a) For all side wall horizontally vented gas fueled equipment installed in every dwelling, building or structure used in whole or in part for residential
purposes, including those owned or operated by the Commonwealth and where the side wall exhaust vent termination is less than seven (7) feet
above finished grade in the area of the venting, including but not limited to decks and porches, the following requirements shall be satisfied:
1. INSTALLATION OF CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS. At the time of installation of the side wall horizontal vented gas fueled
equipment, the installing plumber or gas fitter shall observe that a hard wired carbon monoxide detector with an alarm and battery back-up is
installed on the floor level where the gas equipment is to be installed. In addition, the installing plumber or gas fitter shall observe that a battery
operated or hard wired carbon monoxide detector with an alarm is installed on each additional level of the dwelling, building or structure served by
the side wall horizontal vented gas fueled equipment. It shall be the responsibility of the property owner to secure the services of qualified licensed
professionals for the installation of hard wired carbon monoxide detectors
a. In the event that the side wall horizontally vented gas fueled equipment is installed in a crawl space or an attic, the hard wired carbon monoxide
detector with alarm and battery back-up may be installed on the next adjacent floor level.
b. In the event that the requirements of this subdivision can not be met at the time of completion of installation, the owner shall have a period of
thirty (30) days to comply with the above requirements; provided, however, that during said thirty (30) day period, a battery operated carbon monox-
ide detector with an alarm shall be installed.
2. APPROVED CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS. Each carbon monoxide detector as required in accordance with the above provi-
sions shall comply with NFPA 720 and be ANSI/UL 2034 listed and IAS certified.
3. SIGNAGE. A metal or plastic identification plate shall be permanently mounted to the exterior of the building at a minimum height of
eight (8) feet above grade directly in line with the exhaust vent terminal for the horizontally vented gas fueled heating appliance or equipment. The
sign shall read, in print size no less than one-half (1/2) inch in size, “GAS VENT DIRECTLY BELOW. KEEP CLEAR OF ALL OBSTRUCTIONS”.
4. INSPECTION. The state or local gas inspector of the side wall horizontally vented gas fueled equipment shall not approve the instal-
lation unless, upon inspection, the inspector observes carbon monoxide detectors and signage installed in accordance with the provisions of 248
CMR 5.08(2)(a)1 through 4.
(b) EXEMPTIONS: The following equipment is exempt from 248 CMR 5.08(2)(a)1 through 4:
1. The equipment listed in Chapter 10 entitled “Equipment Not Required To Be Vented” in the most current edition of NFPA 54 as adopted
by the Board; and
2. Product Approved side wall horizontally vented gas fueled equipment installed in a room or structure separate from the dwelling, build-
ing or structure used in whole or in part for residential purposes.
