Section 3: Venting
Installation
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
should it be impossible to meet the venting guidelines laid out below
please contact your Montigo dealer to discuss power venting options.
NOTES FOR PLANNING VENTING:
Venting can originate from the unit through the top or
through the side.
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 below for installation details
All replaces shipped from the factory are Top vent.

Section 3-2: INSTALLING A ROOF MOUNTED DIRECT VENT
TERMINATION (PVTK-1)
This section applies to installations where the direct vent termination will be roof mounted.
Section 3-2-1: VENTING LAYOUT
Selection of components and details of venting lay out should
adhere to the following guidelines:
The maximum termination point is 32’ above the replace.
(NOTE: if the maximum termination height is used, the ame
pattern may be affected).
The Vertical termination must be a minimum 2’ higher
than where the termination exits the roong materials,
(asphalt shingles, cedar shakes, etc). This distance should
be measured from the high side of the roof slope where the
ue ashing intersects the roong materials. (see Figures
9 - 9c).
For a detailed diagram of allowed termination locations, see
Appendix A.
Termination location must be a minimum 6’ from a mechanical
air inlet.
Termination location must be a minimum 18” from a parapet
wall.
A maximum of two offsets (each offset is made up of 2-90°
bends) may be made.
Firestops must be installed as required by National & local
codes.
Ensure all horizontal runs are supported with a minimum of 3
supports per 10’ of venting.
Install all roof ashing and storm collars as shown.
