Montigo DRL3613NI Installation guide

  • Hello! I've reviewed the Installation & Maintenance Manual for the Montigo BVK35 Kit, a Direct Vent Adapter used for several fireplace models including DRL and DRSQ series. The document provides a detailed guide on how to safely install the adapter, including crucial safety warnings and necessary precautions. It specifies the models it is compatible with and details the process of connecting to existing B-Vent systems, including using a 3" aluminum flex liner. I'm ready to help you with any questions you have about this product and its installation.
  • Can I use this kit for LP conversion?
    What type of venting termination is allowed?
    What size B-Vent systems does this kit work with?

Listed direct vent appliances can be installed on existing 5" Certied
B-Vent system by using BVK35 kit and inserting a 3" aluminum ex liner
within the B-vent and utilizing the space between the ex and B-Vent
for combustion air.
The BVK35 kit and listed replace models could also be connected to
existing 6" Certied B-Vent system by using Certied 5" to 6" B-Vent
increaser (not provided with the BVK35 kit).
The BVK35 kit is approved for use with following NG models only: DRL36,
DRL48, DRL60, DRSQ34, DRSQ38. LP CONVERSION IS NOT ALLOWED
WHEN RETROFITTING INTO EXISTING B-VENT.
The dimensions of the appliance and the clearances to combustibles
are listed in the installation manuals packaged with the appliance.
Venting must terminate through the roof, no side venting allowable.
4"x7" coaxial vent rigid or ex pipe can be used to extend from top of
replace to Lower B-Vent adapter attached to existing B-Vent. If 4"x
7" ex pipe is used then existing B-Vent must be properly strapped to
support its weight.
INSTALLERS RESPONSIBILITIES BEFORE AND AFTER CONVERSION
TO DIRECT VENT COMPLETED:
• Inspect existing B-Vent conguration allows installation of 3" ex
liner without damage to the existing vent system.
• Inspect existing B-Vent is damage free and adequately supported.
• Conrm existing B-Vent has minimum l" clearance to combustible
materials through all vent length.
• Conrm existing venting dual wall pipe, not single wall pipe.
• Direct vent replace is installed as prescribed in the installation
manual packaged with the replace

Aside from the venting and restrictor settings, the BVK35 has no eect
on any other aspect of appliance installation.
The listed direct vent models may only be installed onto B-vent systems
using approved adapters packaged with this kit and following these
instructions. Completely enclose the 3-inch aluminum ex liners within
the existing B-vent.
DO NOT USE SINGLE WALL B VENT.

MUST REMOVE
Existing B-vent replace
1. Ensure the existing vent is well supported and no screws will
penetrate the aluminum liner.
2. The existing B-vent cap should be removed and discarded, using a
weighted line, determine the total length of the vent and whether
there are osets. It is important to do this before starting any
destructive work. In order to ensure that installation is feasible,
it may be preferable to do this before removing the existing
appliance. Once the liner installation has been veried with the
minimum/maximum vent run table, the existing appliance can be
removed.
3. Ensure that the lower portion of the existing B-vent is not
damaged as you remove the existing appliance.

BASIC CONNECTION
Fireplace ue aligns with existing B-Vent and
there is enough existing B-Vent length to
slide over replace.
Mostly short, vertical (no osets) B-Vent runs
where existing B-Vent has some slack to
slightly lift it and slide replace under it.
EXTENDED CONNECTION
Similar to scenario connection A but existing
B-vent needs to be extended to reach new
replace. Montigo MEXT (EXT18 can be used
for short extensions) shall be used to extend
to B-Vent
EXTENDED FLEX CONNECTION
Fireplace ue does not align with existing
B-Vent and/or existing B-Vent does not
have slack to lift it and slide replace
under it. Mostly long B-Vent runs with 45°
osets. Recommended ex: Montigo MFL,
Duravent 46DVA-**FO (collarless), Flexmaster
4DVKIT47** or equivalent certied true size
4/7 dual ply.

4. Go to the roof and slide continuous 3” 2 ply certied ex pipe
down the center of certied B-Vent pipe. Note: no 3” ex liner
joints are allowed except where its secured to lower and upper
BVA35 adapters.
5. Go back down to replace and make sure ex liner is protruding
from the bottom of B-Vent pipe. Apply thin continuous bead of
Mill-Pack sealant on lower adapter ue collar and fasten the 3”
aluminum liner to the ue collar using sheet metal screws, make
sure screws punctured adapters ue collar and tightened ex liner
to it. Mount Montigo to Duravent adapter 46DVA-AD-M1 to lower
B-Vent adapter, twist to lock. Mount 46DVA-AD-M1 adapter over
replace collar or rigid pipe extension, seal inner joints with Mill-
Pack and outer joints with aluminum foil tape. If ex coaxial pipes
are used as an extension, use MVA male adapter (provided with
the kit) to connect ex pipe to 46DVA-AD-M1 adapter. Use sheet
metal screws to secure MVA to ex pipe, seal inner joints with Mill-
Pack and outer joints with aluminum foil tape.
Installation Flue restrictors
Finishing
Flue restrictors (if equipped) are to be adjusted in eld depending on
ame quality and vent length. Units that do not come standard with a
restrictor can use the optional FRK3 restrictor kit.
Do not close in and nish chase before the correct ame pattern and
combustion has been established. All other nishing instructions can
be found in the manual for the replace.
FRK3 restrictor use in DRL units:
1. Grab desired width restrictor plate
2. Bend restrictor plate as shown
3. Slide over replace ue opening and secure with self taping
screws
6. Continue with installation of replace, following instructions
packaged with the replace. Make sure all clearances to
combustible materials are met per replace installation manual.
7. Go back to the roof and install the upper adapter. Gently pull the
3” aluminum liner and cut o any excess. Apply thin continuous
bead of Mill-Pack sealant on upper adapter ue collar and fasten
the 3” aluminum liner to the ue collar using sheet metal screws,
make sure screws punctured adapters ue collar and tightened
ex liner to it.
8. Slide upper adapter over B-Vent, seal the outer seams with high
temperature silicone. Push Duravent 46DVA-VCH (or equivalent
direct vent vertical termination cap) termination cap over upper
B-Vent adapter and twist to lock, seal outer joint with high
temperature silicone. Apply conversion label (supplied with kit)
to the other side of replace rating plate plaque over the existing
NG/LP conversion label.
