MD44-DV Direct Vent Vented Fireplace
Vent Installation
This section covers the installation of direct venting and terminations.
Installation Requirements
n
This fireplace use Premium Series (5"/8" dia.) Venting compo-
nents with:
n
Minimum 1" clearance to combustibles required for vent pipes
n
Use only certified Montigo vent components. (Use of other parts will
void the Montigo warranty, and may impede the operation of the
fireplace.)
n
All joints must be secured with a minimum of two screws per joint
n Vent terminations must not be recessed in walls or siding
n Horizontal runs must be supported by a minimum of two supports
per horizontal run. A minimum of one screw on each side of
support is also required
n Flex vent sections may be stretched up to 50% of their total length
(eg. a 24" section may be stretched to 36")
n
Maximum horizontal run for a flex section with no vertical rise is 3 feet.
n Flex vent sections over 3 feet must fall within the limits set by the
venting graph and must have a minimum vertical rise of 3 inches
per foot of flex.
n
Solid vent sections may be cut less than half way from the tapered end
n Venting components can be used in any combination of solid/rigid
pipe or flex pipe and in any orientation (Male connectors can face
in any direction)
Vent Terminations
Selecting A Termination Location
Choosing your vent termination location will help to determine whether
you need to use a top vent or rear vent fireplace. Figure 6, below,
shows typical fireplace locations and the venting options they provide.
For a more detailed diagram of allowed termination locations, see
Appendix B.
n Vent terminations can be very hot. If the termination is less than
7 feet above a public walkway, it should be fitted with a certified
Montigo Heat Guard. (Part no. PTKOG)
n
Do not obstruct, or attempt to conceal, the vent termination.
These actions will affect the operation of the fireplace, and may
be hazardous.
n
In heavy snow areas, take extra care to prevent snow buildup
from obstructing the vent termination.
Installing The Gas Line
The gas line must be installed before finishing the D44DV Fireplace.
Natural Gas requires a minimum inlet gas supply pressure of 5.5"
W.C. & a manifold pressure of 3.5" W.C. Propane Gas requires a
minimum inlet gas supply pressure of 11" W.C. & a manifold pressure
of 10.5" W.C. Provision must also be made for a 1/8" N.P.T. plugged
tapping and be accessible for test gauge connection immediately
upstream of the gas supply controls to the appliance. The fireplace
gas connection and the main operating gas valve is located behind
the removable brass trim at the bottom of the unit and need only be
attached to the gas line with an approved fitting, as required by the
applicable installation codes.
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected
* 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.
Installing The Remote Switch
The MD44-DV's gas valve, located behind the lower brass trim, may
be connected to a wall switch. The valve generates its own power on
a millivolt circuit. Use only low voltage wire, and DO NOT connect
any external power to it.
Refer to Figure 21 for wiring requirements.
Note: The switch location must not exceed 30' from the fireplace.

from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that
system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing
of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
