Where can the vent leave the house?

The first visit for a gas fireplace in Brooklyn begins outdoors. Before anyone picks a model, we walk the outside wall behind the spot you have in mind and measure what the vent termination would have to clear: windows and doors that open, the soffit above, corners, the ground, any walkway or drive below, the gas meter and any air intake.

If the wall works, a direct-vent unit can exit straight through it. If it does not, the route goes up through the roof, and that changes the parts list and sometimes the room layout. Everything else follows from that walk. Want gas heat in Brooklyn in a room with no chimney? We check the wall first, and it starts with a call to (904) 920-5495.

Counted as a direct line, Jacksonville and Brooklyn are roughly 6 miles apart. Brooklyn is a neighborhood within the City of Jacksonville.

How It Works

Vent out, frame, wire, start up

Unit and vent route chosen
We pick a listed unit for the room and draw the vent route against the manual's vent table.
Framed and vented to the manual
Framing, header and clearances come from the manual, and the vent is run with its firestops and supports.
Gas and power by their trades
A gas contractor or the propane supplier brings gas to the shutoff valve, and an electrician adds any outlet.
Start-up readings and leak check
Pressures are read at the valve, every joint is leak-checked, the flame is checked and the barrier fitted.

Replacing an old gas fireplace in Brooklyn

An old gas fireplace can be replaced with a new unit, but its vent is only reused when the new manual lists it.

For replacements in Brooklyn, we read both manuals and tell you whether the vent stays or goes.

Supports, thimbles and firestops

A vent run needs support along its length, at the spacing the manual sets, so joints do not pull apart over time. Where it passes an outside wall, a wall thimble or firestop from the vent maker holds the pipe centered and keeps its clearance to the framing. Where it passes a ceiling or floor, a firestop spacer does the same job.

Horizontal pipe keeps the clearance the manual lists, which on some systems is larger above the pipe than beside it. Air spaces around the pipe stay open, with no insulation packed in. Joints are locked as the vent maker's instructions show.

Restrictor settings on tall runs

A direct-vent run with a lot of vertical rise draws harder than a short one, and too much draft pulls the flame around and can lift it. Manuals handle this with a restrictor, a plate or adjustable damper in the exhaust path, set according to the vent configuration. The table in the manual gives the setting for each combination of rise and run.

We set it during installation and confirm it at start-up by watching the flame after the unit has warmed, adjusting only within the settings the manual lists. A flame that dances or lifts after warm-up is the sign it needs another look.

Propane tanks and the fireplace

A propane fireplace runs off a tank outside the house, and the manuals are explicit that propane tanks do not go inside any structure. Some manuals set a minimum tank size so the tank can vaporize enough gas to keep up with the unit, which matters on small tanks.

The regulator at the tank and the line to the house belong to the propane supplier. We confirm with the supplier that the tank, regulator and line suit the fireplace's input before the unit is ordered, so start-up is not the first time anyone checks. The supplier's answer is kept with the installation plan.

FAQ

Gas fireplace install questions from Brooklyn

Do you run the gas line to the new fireplace?

No. The line to the unit's shutoff valve is a gas contractor's job, or the propane supplier's on a propane system. The estimate says who and when, and start-up follows once gas reaches the valve.

Will the vent termination be visible outside?

Yes, a wall termination is a cap on the outside wall at the spot the clearances allow. If the house is under an association, check its rules before the spot is final.
