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.

„

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 20 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.

WARNING:

An inspection of the explosion relief flappers and door

MUST be made prior to lighting the fireplace. A 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.
