BEFORE YOU START:

Installation Checklist

■ Determine the desired install location of your replace.

■ See Section 1, Dimensions and refer to the Framing

Section 2 for details.

■ Select your type and location of your Power Vent

run: Roof Mounted PVVEX510-300, External Wall

Mounted PVHEX510-300, Flush Louver Wall Mounted

PVHFL510-300.

■ Your termination location should be selected to provide

the most efcient vent run.

■ Lay out the Vent run; calculating the required elbows

and straight runs of 5"/10" ex and/or rigid pipe.

■ Refer to the Section 3, "Venting" for details.

■ Montigo supplies 20' of low voltage wire, which can be

spliced to a maximum of 100' with wire of equal quality.

This wire CANNOT run in conduit with any other wire.

■ Refer to Section 4, for Wiring Details.

■ The gas connection is located on the bottom right side

(pilot burner side) of the replace.

■ Refer to local codes and guidelines for installation

requirements.

■ Refer to Section 5, "Installing the Gas Line" for details.

■ Installation and repairs should be done by a qualied

DANGER

Installation

R520 Power Vent Indoor Gas Fireplace

Page 4 XG0771 - 150204

Section A: Before You Begin

Installation

Introduction to the R-Series Fireplace:

The complete system will require a rebox, a power vent module,

an electrical control panel, and a vent system. The appropriate vent

system will connect the rebox to the power vent module and will be

placed in a vertical or horizontal location. The R-Series replace

is not a heat efcient replace and should not be used with a

thermostat to heat your home. This product is a re feature and

should only be used to enhance the ambiance of the room. Please

review the Installation Checklist on Page 4 for general information on

preparing for a successful installation of your replace.

Install location:

The R-Series replace may be installed in any location that maintains

proper clearances to air conditioning ducts, electrical wiring, and

plumbing. Safety, as well as efciency of operation, must be considered

when selecting the replace location. Try to select a location that does

not interfere with room trafc, has adequate ventilation, and offers

an accessible pathway for Power Vent installation.

Basic Operation:

The gas control components of this replace are located in the bottom

of the rebox below the burner system. All models are supplied with

a Honeywell smart valve gas control and do NOT have a variable

ame control. There are two air switches that control the gas control

system, located in the bottom of the rebox. These gas valves and

pressure switches communicate with the electrical control panel

through a six conductor cable supplied with the replace.

To operate the replace, Montigo supplies 20' of low voltage wire

from the electrical control panel. Connect the two wire harnesses

to a standard single pole ON/OFF switch to the location of your

choice. You may extend these wires up to 100' in length with a wire

of equal quality.

CAUTION: Do NOT connect power to these wires.

The R520* are classified under power vented fireplace systems.

Under no circumstances can these models be installed without a Power Vent Module.

For Horizontal Vent Installations, use 5”/10” Power Vent Motor PVHEX510-300 or

PVHFL510-300.

For Vertical Vent Installations, use 5”/10” Power Vent Motor PVVEX510-300.
