Tracing and fixing a gas fireplace vent

  1. Read the manual and markings

    The appliance manual and the markings on the pipe give the vent type, the size and the maker's vent table.

  2. Follow the run joint by joint

    With the unit off and cool, we trace the vent through the wall, chase or attic and check each joint for separation and its lock.

  3. Reseat, replace or reroute

    Separated joints are reseated and locked, damaged sections are replaced with pipe from the listed vent system, and crowded caps are moved.

  4. Fire it and check for spillage

    We run the unit and watch the flame and, on a B-vent, the draft hood for spillage, then note each fix on the ticket.

Vent acting up? The check and the repair both take the 10% off.

Gas fireplace venting questions

Could the vent be why my fireplace shuts off?

It can be. A vent that is not drawing or is pulling exhaust back in is one cause we test for. Others sit inside the appliance, and we check those on the same visit.

Can you move a vent cap away from my new deck?

Yes, where a new route meets the manual's diagram and the code's clearances. We draw it out for you on a free inspection before we cut anything.

I smell exhaust when the fireplace runs. What now?

Turn it off and open windows. If a carbon monoxide alarm sounds or anyone feels ill, get everyone out and call 911 from outside. Once everyone is safe, call us to check the vent.

Are wall and roof vent terminations both part of the service?

Both are included in the vent assessment where they belong to the installation. There is no charge to inspect and quote the work. Call (904) 920-5495 and describe the termination only if you can see it safely from the ground.

Is a gas fireplace vent pipe replacement quoted in writing?

Yes, section by section, and the quote costs nothing. The number does not change unless you approve new work.

Vent problems our experts trace

  • Fireplace shuts itself off after a while

    A vent that is not drawing, or that pulls exhaust back into the intake, can shut a unit down. We trace the run and test the draft.

  • Blue, lazy, see-through flames

    One maker lists this as the sign of a vent blockage. We check the vent cap outside for nests or debris and every joint for separation.

  • A new deck built near the vent cap

    The terminal needs its clearances from windows, doors, grade and the manual's diagram. We move the cap to a spot that meets them.

  • Stains on the siding above the cap

    A shifted wall thimble or siding cut tight can crush the outer pipe or open the joint behind the cap. We find which and repair it.

Full service details

Direct-vent and B-vent gas fireplace venting

A direct-vent fireplace is sealed. Its vent is two pipes in one, with exhaust leaving through the inner pipe and outdoor air coming in around it, ending at a termination cap on a wall or above the roof. A B-vent fireplace burns room air and relies on warm exhaust rising through a Type B double-wall vent, which section 502.1 of the Fuel Gas volume requires to be listed and tested to UL 441.

The two designs cannot be swapped, so a repair keeps the vent the appliance was built for.

Vent tables and termination clearances

The maker's vent table sets the rise, run, elbows and restrictor setting for a direct-vent run. Table 503.8 of the Fuel Gas volume sets the distance from a direct-vent terminal to an operable window or door by the appliance's input and keeps it at least 12 inches above grade. A B-vent terminates at least 5 feet above the highest draft hood outlet, with its cap height set by roof pitch under section 503.6.

Direct vent fireplace repair and new vent runs

On a direct-vent unit, the repair starts at the joints. An inner pipe pulled apart inside the outer one feeds exhaust back into the intake, and one maker lists a blue, lazy, transparent flame as the sign of a blockage. B-vent runs separate at joints, corrode where exhaust condenses, or lose their cap.

When a B-vent pipe needs replacement, or a direct-vent section is damaged, the new section comes from the listed vent system, and a restrictor is reset to the position the vent table gives. A new run is laid out from the vent table before the first hole is cut, with firestops and wall thimbles where the pipe crosses framing, and direct-vent pipe installation follows the maker's parts list. Repairs to the roof covering belong to a roofer.
