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 21 below 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�

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 a 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. A fire or explosion

will occur, causing serious injusy, property damage or death.

DANGER

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

When installing the fireplace - gas lines, fittings,

accessories or any other objects cannot impede the

proper movement of the door buckles.
