Montigo supplies a variety of direct venting and termination options.
The direct vent termination location MUST be selected such that
it is the highest point in the venting assembly. It should also be
selected such that it provides the shortest vent run possible. Should
it be impossible to ensure that the termination is the highest point
or to meet the venting guidelines laid out below please contact your
Montigo dealer to discuss power venting options.
NOTES FOR PLANNING VENTING:
Venting originates from the unit through the top or through
the rear
Venting can terminate through the roof or through an
exterior wall.
Refer to Appendix A -Termination Locations to ensure the
planned termination location is acceptable.
Once the termination location has been established, refer
to the appropriate section for installation details.
All fireplaces shipped from the factory are Top vent.
Silicone application is NOT required when joining Montigo
vent pipes and components.
See Section 3-1 for converting the unit from top vent to rear vent.
