SAFETY NOTICE: IF YOUR MONTPELIER MEDIUM

INSERT IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, A HOUSE

FIRE MAY RESULT. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,

FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. CON-

TACT LOCAL BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT

RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATION INSPECTION

REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA.

Requirements for Existing Fireplaces

The Montpelier Medium Insert is listed for installation

within a properly built masonry or heat circulating, ma-

sonry-type replace that is constructed in accordance

with the requirements of recognized building codes. A

heat-circulating masonry-type replace must conform to

building code standards for masonry replaces, and must

consist of a factory-built metal rebox with air circulation

pathways that are surrounded by masonry materials. Air

circulation pathways must not be blocked by the insert or

surround panels.

The replace and chimney must be clean and structurally

sound. Have them inspected by a qualied professional

chimney sweep, a mason, or your Vermont Castings’

Authorized Dealer before the Montpelier Medium Insert is

installed. Any deterioration (cracks, loose mortar or loose

bricks) must be repaired.

Codes may permit removal of the damper in order to make a

positive vent connection between the rebox and the chim-

ney. However, the replace should not be modied in any

way without rst checking with your local building inspector

or re marshal. Provision should be made to restore the

replace to its original condition if the insert is removed.

Do not remove bricks or mortar that may jeopardize the

compliance of the replace with local building codes.

The Montpelier Medium Insert is not listed for instal-

lation in factory-built replaces.

Requirements for Existing Chimneys

Chimney requirements differ for the U.S. and Canada.

Specications for each are listed below. Connect the

insert to the chimney in accordance with local codes and

the requirements of the listing agency as specied in this

manual.

Chimney Height / U.S. and Canada

Chimney height should be no less than 15’ (4.5 m) above

the hearth and no more than 35’ (10.5 m).

The chimney should extend at least 3’ (914 mm) above the

highest point where it passes through a roof, and at least

2’ (610 mm) higher than any portion of a building within

10’ (3 m). (Fig. 2)

DO NOT CONNECT YOUR MONTPELIER MEDIUM

INSERT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER

APPLIANCE.

Installation

U.S.

In the U.S. (ANSI/NFPA 211, 1988), when

installed in a masonry replace:

• A connector must extend from the ue collar

to the ue liner.

•If a stainless steel liner is not used, the connector

must extend at least four (4) feet from the ue collar

of the insert.*

• The cross sectional area of the ue must be less

than or equal to three times the area of the ue

collar. If larger, the chimney must be re-lined.

• Means must be provided to prevent room air

passing to the chimney cavity.

• Provision must be made for removal of the

insert to clean the chimney ue.

General Considerations / U.S.

• While not required in most jurisdictions in the U.S.,

Vermont Castings Group strongly recommends

that a full stainless steel chimney liner be installed

for the insert to the chimney top to increase overall

performance and to ease and reduce yearly main-

tenance.

• A masonry chimney must be well-constructed and

must meet minimum code requirements. The chim-

ney ue should have a code-approved liner made of

masonry or pre-cast refractory tiles, straight or ex-

ible stainless steel pipe, or a poured-in-place liner.

An unlined chimney must be relined professionally.

• The chimney must have a nominal ue size of 6" (152

mm) diameter or 28 square inches (181 cm2) but no

greater than 3 times larger or 85 square inches (548

cm2). A chimney larger than this must be re-lined.

Be aware that a chimney originally designed for replace

use may perform differently when used to vent an air-con-

trolled appliance such as your Montpelier Medium Insert

- even if the ue is less than 3 times larger than the ue

collar. For example, a chimney on an outside wall may

not heat up enough to sustain an adequate draft. Such a

ue can often be improved if it is relined to reduce its size

and/or insulated to keep it warmer.

• A positive ue connection must be made between

the Insert and the rst masonry tile or prefabricated

metal chimney section. A positive ue connection

consists of a plate that seals or replaces the replace

damper and a section of chimney connector that

passes through the plate into the chimney.

• The chimney connector must be a minimum equiva-

lent to a 6" (152 mm) diameter opening and must be

24 gauge or heavier stainless steel. The connector

must extend four (4) feet measured from the collar

of the insert.

Chimney Connection systems are available from a variety

of manufacturers. Your Vermont Castings dealer can rec-

ommend a system that will best meet the requirements of

your particular installation.

Sealing Requirements / U.S.

• The chimney must be sealed off from room air, ei-

ther by a plate at the damper level or by sealing the

replace opening.

• Unused openings to the ue must be sealed with ma-

sonry to the thickness of the chimney wall. Openings

sealed with pie plates or wallpaper are a hazard. In

the event of a chimney re, ames and smoke may

be forced from the openings.

Canada

In Canada (CAN/CSA-B365-M91, Section 5), whether

installed in a masonry or factory built replace:

• This replace insert must be installed with a continu-

ous chimney liner of 6" (152 mm) diameter extending

from the replace insert to the top of the chimney.

The chimney liner must conform to the Class 3

requirements of CAN/ULC-S635, Standard for Lin-

ing Systems for Existing Masonry or Factory-Built

Chimneys and Vents, or CAN/ULC-S640, Standard

for Lining Systems for New Masonry Chimneys.

• The opening of the replace around the insert must

be sealed to prevent room air passing to the replace

cavity.

• Existing air-circulation chambers in a replace with

a steel liner may not be blocked.

• Provision must be made for removal of the insert to

clean the chimney ue.

• The existing replace damper (if any) should be

locked in the open position.

• A permanent metal warning label must be afxed to

the back of the replace stating the replace may

have been altered to accommodate the insert, and

may be unsafe to use as a conventional replace. (A

Fireplace Modication Tag is included in the hardware

bag inside the Montpelier Medium Insert.)

Minimum Fireplace Dimensions

The Montpelier Medium Insert will t most replaces. To

conrm that it will t yours, measure the lintel depth, plus

the height, width, and depth of your replace and hearth.

Compare them to the measurements in the accompany-

ing chart. If you choose to install a new hearth over an

existing replace hearth, be sure to take its thickness into

consideration when measuring both front and back height

of the replace and clearances to any existing trims and

mantels.

The unit can be installed virtually ush with the replace

opening or it can extend 3" (76 mm) onto the hearth using

the optional 3" Hearth Extension Kit. Figure 3 gives min-

imum and maximum dimensions for replaces which will

accommodate the Montpelier Medium Insert in the ush

mount conguration and using the optional extension kit.

NOTE: The clearance between the Montpelier Medium

Insert and the mantel, top trim and side trim cannot be

reduced by installing shields.

Another requirement to consider is the clearance for movable

items such as tables, bookcases, rugs, furnishings, and your

woodbox. All combustible materials of this type should be

a minimum of 48" (1220 mm) from the front surface of the

Montpelier Medium Insert. Be sure that family members

are aware of this requirement as well, so they too will keep

objects a safe distance from the Montpelier Medium Insert.

to a height of 211⁄2"(540 mm)

2. Though the Montpelier Medium Insert will t into larger replaces,

the decorative optional Vermont Castings Group Surround Panels will

not completely cover the replace opening if these dimensions are

exceeded. Custom made trim pieces may be used.

Fig. 3 Use these measurements to conrm that the Montpelier

Medium Insert will t into your masonry replace.

Clearance Requirements

After conrming that your replace is the right size, check

the clearance to combustibles. First mark with tape the exact

center of your replace opening on the hearth. Measure

the side clearance from this point. Measure the top trim

and/or mantel clearances from the nished hearth surface.

Measure the front clearance (to furnishings, etc.) from the

replace face. (Fig. 4)

Measure the side clearance (C) from the exact center of your replace

opening on the hearth (X). Measure the top trim (B) and/or mantel

clearances (A) from the nished hearth surface. Measure the front

clearance (to furnishings, etc.) from the replace face.

Fig. 4 Observe these clearances to combustible trim.

Hearth Requirements

In some replaces, the hearth in front of the replace open-

ing is brick, stone, slate, or some other non-combustible

material that is in direct contact with concrete poured over

earth. These are the only hearths that are considered

noncombustible. In other replaces, the brick or concrete

hearth in front of the replace opening is supported by

heavy wooden framing. Because neither brick nor concrete

has good insulating properties, heat radiated by the re will

pass downward through the hearth to the wooden framing.

Such hearths are considered combustible.

Unless the replace and hearth are constructed over a

completely non-combustible surface (such as unpainted

concrete over dirt), a thermal oor protector must be used

in front of and to the sides of the door as protection against

spilled coals and embers and heat radiated from the front

of the insert. Floor protectors must extend at least 8" (203

mm) from the side of the insert, making the protector 443⁄4"

(1137 mm) wide.

In addition, the oor protector must extend from the front

door opening a minimum of 16" (406 mm) in the United

States and 18" (457 mm) in Canada. (Fig. 5)

The approved construction of a oor protector calls for a

minimum of 24 gauge galvanized sheet metal or equiva-

lent, and the equivalent of 1.25" (32 mm) of a material with

k-value of 0.84 or less.

Custom-made oor protectors may be used if they offer the

same protection. Millboard has a standard k value of 0.84

and thus 11⁄4" (32 mm) of this material is adequate thermal

protection. Custom-built oor protectors must have a k value

equal to, or less than 0.84, meaning that heat will transfer

at the same rate or more slowly than the tested standard.

How to Determine if Alternate Floor

Protection Materials are Acceptable

All oor protection must be noncombustible (i.e. metals,

brick, stone, mineral ber boards, etc.). Any organic materi-

als (i.e. plastics, wood paper products, etc.) are combus-

tible and must not be used. The oor protection specied

Montpelier Medium Insert

30004403

includes some form of thermal designation such as R-value

(thermal resistance) or k-factor (thermal conductivity).

Procedure:

1. Convert specications to R-value:

i. R-value given - no conversion needed.

ii. k-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in

inches:

iii. K-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in

inches:

iv. r-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in

inches: R = r x T

2. Determine the R-value of the proposed alternate oor

protector:

i. Use the formula in Step 1 to convert values not ex-

pressed as R.

ii. For multiple layers, add R-values of each layer to

determine overall R-value.

3. If the overall R-value of the system is greater than the

R-value of the specied oor protector, the alternate is

acceptable.

Fig. 5 Unless your replace and hearth are constructed over a

dirt oor (or unpainted concrete over dirt), you must use a oor

protector that satises the above requirements.

Typically, thermal protection with the above dimensions will be re-

quired. The equivalent of 1.25" (32 mm) of a material with a k-value

0.84 (or a total R-value of 1.49) is necessary.

If the insert is elevated 81⁄2" (216 mm) or more above a combustible

hearth, thermal protection is not needed. However, spark and ember

protection is still necessary.

*If the insert is elevated 3" (76 mm) or more, with the optional hearth

extension, this dimension may be reduced to 16" (406 mm) (US only)

beyond which no thermal protection is necessary.

EXAMPLE: The specied oor protector should be 11⁄4"

thick material with k-factor of 0.84. The proposed alternate

is 4" brick with an r-factor of 0.2 over 1⁄4" mineral board with

a k-factor of 0.29

Step a: Use formula above to convert specication to R-

value:

Step b: Calculate R of proposed system.

4" brick of r = 0.2, therefore:

Rbrick = 0.2 x 4 = 0.8

1/8" mineral board of k = 0.29, therefore

Rmineralboard = x 0.25 = 0.431

Rtotal = Rbrick + Rmineralboard = 0.8 + 0.431 = 1.66

Step c: Compare proposed system Rtotal of 1.66 to speci-

ed R of 1.49. Since proposed system Rtotal is greater

than required, the system is acceptable.

30004403

Installing the Montpelier Medium Insert

1. Remove or Disable the Fireplace Damper. If codes al-

low, remove the damper. Many dampers can be removed

simply by removing a cotter pin and/or a set screw.

If it is not permissible or possible to remove the damper,

secure the damper in the fully open position.

~ NOTE: CANADIAN INSTALLATIONS ~

In accordance with CAN/CSA B365-M91, you must

permanently secure the Fireplace Modication Tag to

the rear of the replace cavity if you have modied the

replace in any way to accommodate installation of a

replace insert. This tag is in the hardware bag included

with your Insert.

2. Install the Floor Protector. Make sure the oor protector

satises the requirements discussed on Page 6. The

nished height of the oor protector or raised hearth

needs to be considered before installing the venting

system.

3. Flue collar orientation: The ue collar may be oriented

in the vertical position or rotated 180 degrees on the top

of the stove resulting in a 26 degree backward angle. If

possible, determine beforehand which orientation will

work best for your application.

In most applications, cleaning of the chimney system will

be easiest from the top (chimney cap) down. If this is the

planned method for your application, the center iron pull

down handle on the ue collar serves as protection to keep

prevent a chimney brush from damaging the bafe inside

the stove. If cleaning can only take place from inside the

home, the center bar may be cut out of the ue collar using

a hack saw or reciprocating metal cutting saw.

4. Install the venting system: Again, depending on your

application it may be easiest to install the connector or

stainless steel ue liner in the chimney rst. Refer to

Figure 6 for the components of the venting system.

• Carefully remove the ber bafe by rst removing the

front air tube. If necessary, removing the remaining

air tubes will allow easier access.

• Remove the iron ue collar from the stove and fasten

either the adapter pipe or ue liner to it by drilling

three holes using the holes in the iron collar as a

guide.

• Secure the exible pipe to the pipe adaptor using

the same method.

•Install the connector pipe or liner so that the height

measured from the nished hearth surface to the

center bar of the ue collar is 19" (483 mm). (Fig. 7)

This will allow an easy connection once the stove is

rolled into place.

5. Route the blower power cord. Run the power cord out

the left or right side of the insert. Remove the cover plate

and insert the provided grommet into the slot. Reattach

the cover plate.

NOTE: DO NOT RUN THE POWER CORD UNDER

OR IN FRONT OF THE UNIT.

6. Install the Optional Surround Kit. Follow the instruc-

tions provided with the kit.

7. Roll the Firebox into Position. At least two people

will be needed to move the rebox. Lift the front of the

stove slightly to put weight on the rear wheels to ease

installation. Position the rebox so the ue collar lines

up with the connector. Use the leveling screws at the

front of the Insert to adjust the level. Route the power

cord to the side nearest the power supply and test the

fans.

8. Connect the Flue Collar. : From inside the stove, reach

up and pull the ue collar into place by lining up the two

1⁄4" studs in the stove top. Care should be taken to

not disturb the gasket which seals the collar to the top.

Tighten the two 1⁄4" nuts.

•Replace the three rear stainless steel air tubes by

sliding them rst to the right and then into the mat-

ing holes on the left. Secure these in place with the

stainless steel cotter pins.

• Before installing the front air tube, replace the ber

bafe board and ensure it slides all the way to the

back. There should be a tight t between the board

and the iron sides of the stove.

•Replace the front air tube and secure it in place with

the cotter pin.

Smoke and CO Detectors

Safety Tips

The use of smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors

throughout the home is strongly advised, even if not re-

quired by building codes or insurance regulations. It is

a good idea to install a smoke detector in the living ar-

eas and each bedroom. Follow the smoke/CO detector

manufacture's placement and installation instructions and

maintain regularly.

You may not, however, wish to install a detector in the

immediate vicinity of the Montpelier insert. Depending on

the sensitivity of the unit, the alarm can be set off while

you are tending the re or emptying the ashes. If you in-

stall a detector in the same room, locate it as far away

from the insert as possible.

Conveniently locate a "Class A" re extinguisher to con-

tend with small res. Be sure the re extinguisher works

and is clearly visible. All occupants of the house should

know where it is, and how it operates. Have heavy stove

gloves available near the insert. Have special safety

accessories (e.g., Child Guard Screen) available for use

if small children will be in the home.

In the event of a stove pipe or chimney re….

• Evacuate the house immediately

• Notify the re department

• If the re isn't too threatening, closing down the insert

tight, (damper, primary air, all doors) will help to smoth-

er the re.

• Inspect your insert, stove pipe and chimney for any

damage caused by the re and correct any damage

before using your insert again.

Your Insert’s Controls and What They Do

All Montpelier Medium Insert controls are conveniently

located on the front. (Fig. 8)

Two controls regulate the performance of your Montpelier

Medium Insert:

The primary air control supplies oxygen for the re.

The variable-speed fan control, or rheostat, regulates the

warm air ow into the room.

Primary Air Control

A single air control regulates the amount of heat the re

will produce and how long it will burn.

The primary air control lever is located on the upper left

side on the front of the insert. The lever regulates air for

starting, maintaining, and reviving the re.

Generally, more air entering the stove makes the re burn

hotter and faster, while less air prolongs the burn.

The Montpelier Medium Insert’s air supply is increased

when the control lever is moved to the left, and decreased

when moved to the right. It may be set anywhere between

the two extremes, depending on the amount of heat de-

sired. (Fig. 9)

To complement the manual setting of the air control, the

Montpelier Medium Insert has an integral convection air

blower that ensures an even delivery of heat at the manual

setting you select.

The Fans

The convection fan delivers a steady stream of warm air

into the room. Use the fan speed control to regulate the ow

of air into the room. A thermal switch will automatically de-

activate the fan when the stove cools down. When starting

a re in a cold stove, this switch will typically energize the

fan within about 60 minutes depending on wood species

and fuel load.

The fan speed should be set at “low” (fully closed) when

operating at low to medium burn rates and may be set

anywhere between “low” and “high” when operating at high

burn rates. (Refer to Figure 10 for fan access)

This wood heater has a manufactured-set minimum low

burn rate that must not be altered. It is against federal

regulations to alter this setting or otherwise operate this

wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating

instructions in this manual.
