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 Z221.3
„
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 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.
„
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.

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 installing the replace - gas lines, ttings,
accessories or any other objects cannot impede the
proper movement of the door buckles.
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.
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
Do not operate this fireplace without the glass door or with a broken glass door.
