Section 5: Installing the Gas Line

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
„
Z223.1 National Fuel Gas Code in the USA and CAN/CGA
B149 in Canada.
Pressure requirements are:
Gas Pressure
Minimum inlet pressure
Manifold pressure
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 22 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.

H*38DF PRC Panorama Indoor Gas Fireplace
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.
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.
WARNING
When installing the replace - gas lines, ttings, accesso-
ries or any other objects cannot impede the proper
movement of the door buckles.
