Gas Fireplace
From Model Choice to First Flame
Here is how our local pros choose, vent, frame and start up a new gas fireplace.
Venting through the roof
A vertical vent rises through the ceiling and roof and ends in a cap set at the height the manual requires. The roof penetration uses the vent maker's roof piece and storm collar, sealed to that system's instructions.
Our pros plan the vertical run, the attic clearances and the roof penetration, and they coordinate the roof covering around it with your roofer so the roof stays watertight.
Clearances to framing and finishes
Minimum clearances to combustible framing, sheathing and finishes are listed for every gas fireplace, around its sides, top and front. Those numbers belong to the model, and two units that look alike can have different ones.
Our specialists build to the clearances in your model's manual and check them again before the wall is closed. It is one of the reasons we ask for the exact model number before any framing starts.
The mesh barrier over the glass
Fireplace glass on a gas unit runs hot enough to cause burns. The 2015 revisions of ANSI Z21.88 and ANSI Z21.50 brought in a barrier requirement for units whose glass passes a set temperature, which is why many newer models ship with a mesh screen in front.
Our pros install the barrier your model came with and show you how it comes off for cleaning. It stays on whenever the fireplace is in use.
If you ever smell gas
If you ever smell gas, do not light anything or use switches or phones inside. Leave the house and call 911 or the gas utility from outside, as the fireplace manuals direct.
Every gas fireplace manual carries this instruction on its first pages, and it applies to any gas appliance in the home. Our pros go over it with you at handover.
