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.

WARNING!

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.

„

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 24 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.

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.

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

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 fireplace - gas lines, fittings,

accessories or any other objects cannot impede the

proper movement of the door buckles.
