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 fireplace (NOTE: if the maximum termination height is used, the flame pattern may be affected).
The Vertical termination must be a minimum 2’ higher than where the termination exits the roofing materials, (asphalt shingles, cedar shakes, etc). This distance should be measured from the high side of the roof slope where the flue flashing intersects the roofing 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 flashing and storm collars as shown.

Installing Heat Guards over Terminations is recommended in installations 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.

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.
Section 3-3-2: Venting Components
The following components and associated Montigo part num-bers 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 fireplace.
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”).
Connect all vent sections using a minimum of three sheet metal screws on the outer pipe flue.
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 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.

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 fireplace, 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 fireplace.
WARNING:
An inspection of the explosion relief flappers and door MUST be made prior to lighting the fireplace. 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.

Ignition Systems)
“Why use CPI mode”?
CPI means “Continuous Pilot Ignition” or “Standing Pilot”
as it is commonly known. IPI means “Intermittent Pilot
Ignition”, which only initializes the pilot when you are going
to be using the appliance.
There are several reasons why you may choose to use
CPI mode. When a flue is cold it can be difficult to light
the appliance. It can take a bit of time (particularly on tall
vents) to initialize vent action. This can result in “lifting” or
“ghosting” of the flames during the first two to three minutes
of operation. It is also possible to encounter times when
the fireplace fails to light successfully. The fireplace will
then attempt to re-light a second or third time depending
on prevailing temperatures or altitude. When in CPI mode
the pilot also keeps the system warm. During a “cold” start,
condensation will normally form on the inner glass surface
of the door. This condensation will quickly dry, however,
the condensation tends to run down the glass and cause
some streaking. CPI mode helps to resolve this issue. If
CPI mode is used during the winter months the energy it
takes to run the pilot is partially recovered as heat into the
building, so it does not waste as much energy as running
a pilot in the off season.
If you use a wall switch:
A connector is supplied with this unit that can be plugged
into the wire harness connected to the controller. When the
CPI jumper is connected, the pilot will light and remain lit
continuously. Use the wall switch to turn the main burner
on or off. To switch back to IPI mode you must unplug the
CPI jumper.
If you use the optional remote:
A connector is supplied with this unit that can be plugged into
the wire harness connected to the controller. This Jumper
Cable gives the Remote Control the ability to operate the
CPI / IPI switch and set the unit to operate in either condition.
The difference between IPI and CPI:
IPI (Intermittent Pilot Ignition) Mode: is a fuel saving mode in which the pilot is only used when the main burner is on.
CPI (Continuous Pilot Ignition) Mode: The Pilot runs
continuously even when the main burner is off.

Section 5: Installing the Gas Line
Note: After gas line is connected, each appliance
connection, valve and valve train must be checked while under normal operating pressure with either a liquid solution, or leak detection device, to locate any source of leak. Tighten any areas where bubbling appears or leak is detected until bubbling stops completely or leak is no longer detected. DO NOT use
a flame of any kind to test for leaks.
Figure 25. Gas line access.
Gasline Access0.875” dia.
7”to center
2”
The manifold outlet pressure is set from the factory to the appropriate pressure but should be verified.
To check pressures, control valves have a provision to remove a 1/8” N.PT. plug to be fitted with a hose barb.
Montigo requires a service shut off valve be located in an accessible location to isolate the gas supply.
Only install gas shut-off valves approved for use by the state, province, or other governing body in which the fireplace is being installed.
Section 5-3: Gas Connection
See Figure 25 for location of gas line access.
Flexible gas connectors must not exceed 3 feet in length, unless allowable within local regulations.
Connect incoming gas line to the 1/2"or 3/8" gas inlet port.
Purge all air out of gas line.
Check appliance connection, valve and valve train under normal operating pressure with a commercially available leak check solution.
DO NOT USE A FLAME OF ANY KIND TO TEST
FOR LEAKS.
Section 5-1: Fuel Conversion
Verify that your fireplace is compatible with your available gas type. (Natural Gas or Propane shown by "N" or "L" in your model number
If gas type is not compatible, contact your local Montigo representative.
Conversion kits must be installed by a qualified service technician.
Section 5-2: Gas Pressure
Optimum appliance performance requires proper input pressures.
Gas line sizing requirements will be determined in ANSI Z221.3 National Fuel Gas Code in the USA and CAN/CGA B149 in Canada.
Pressure requirements are:
Gas Pressure Natural Gas Propane
Minimum inlet pressure 5.5in. w.c.11in. w.c.
Manifold pressure 3.5in. w.c.10in. w.c.
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. radio, and other electronic components.
CAUTION
When pressure testing the fireplace, Gas line, and input system follow the appropriate local codes or your area. DO NOT connect the fireplace to pressures in excess of 1/2lb. This will damage the gas control valve.
NOTICE
WARNING:
An inspection of the explosion relief flappers and door
MUST be made prior to lighting the fireplace. 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.
WARNING
When installing the replace - gas lines, ttings, accesso -
ries or any other objects cannot impede the proper
movement of the door buckles.

Section 6: Finishing
Figure 26. Combustible mantels and facings.
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 26
Fireplace Facing
When sizing the finish material for your fireplace, it is important to remember the following: THE OPENING MUST NOT BE
OBSTRUCTED IN ANY WAY - to do so restricts the air
supply for the control compartments and heat exchanger
it also prevents access for servicing controls.
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, discolouration or premature failure of T.V. and radio components.
Figure 27. Combustible surrounds.
Do not operate this fireplace without the glass door or with a broken glass door.
NOTICE
Do 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.
NOTICE
Side wall clearances are 3". Combustible surrounds may be installed with 3" clearance to the side of the fireplace as shown in Figure 27.
WARNING!
When covering the upper metal portion of the fireplace, (as shown, Fig.24) with a non-combustible material Please Note: The decorative facing materials may be subject to temperatures in excess of 250° F. This should be considered when selecting facing materials.

CAUTION!
Fireplace gas control must be in the “OFF” position and pilot and main burners extinguished when cleaning appliance with a vacuum.
Doors can get very hot. Handle only when cool.
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 22. Handle the door carefully, and clean it with nonabrasive 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 from the chamber walls using normal household products.
Use a vacuum cleaner or whisk broom to keep the control compartment, burner, and firebox free from dust and lint.
Logs may be cleaned periodically with a vacuum to remove soot or other contaminates.
Hi-Lo Burner Adjustment: (SIT Nova 820).
The H*38DF* is equipped with an adjustable burner, allowing you to raise or lower the flames. To adjust the flames, locate the black knob marked 'Hi-Lo', in the centre of the gas control valve (See Figure 32).
To raise the flame height, turn the black knob (located behind the lower control compartment) counter-clockwise.
To lower the flame height, turn clockwise.
