Power for blowers and electronic ignition

Some gas fireplaces run on a standing pilot with no house power at all. Others use electronic ignition, a blower or both, and those need an outlet in the spot the manual gives, sometimes within the unit's control area.

Any new outlet or circuit is added by an electrician. The manuals also call for the appliance to be grounded to the electrical code, and they ask for the wall switch, remote receiver and fan wiring to be run before the wall is finished. The electrician's part, and when it happens, is set out for your Kings Ferry job. Picked a room for a gas fireplace in Kings Ferry? (904) 920-5495 is the number for a free planning visit.

How gas fireplace installation runs

Vent exit found first
We find where the vent can leave the house within the manual's clearances, then pick the unit to suit.
Frame and run the vent
The enclosure and header are framed to the drawing, and the vent is run with its supports, pitch and firestops.
Trades, wiring and gas
Wiring goes in before the wall closes, and the gas contractor brings the line to the shutoff valve.
Start-up and inspection
Pressures are read, joints leak checked, the inspector signs off, and we go over the controls with you.

Rear vent or top vent in Kings Ferry

Some direct-vent units ship as rear-vent models and can be converted to top vent. The choice sets the framing, so it is made before anything is built.

We pick the vent direction for your Kings Ferry install from the route to the outside wall or roof.

Reading the vent table

Each direct-vent manual we work from carries a vent table or chart that ties the vertical rise to the horizontal run. A unit that exits straight through the wall may allow only a short horizontal run; one that rises several feet first may allow a longer run after the rise. Each elbow counts against the total as a set length of straight pipe.

A route outside the table can pull too little air in or push exhaust back, so the burner misbehaves or the pilot drops. We draw the route, add up each length and elbow, and check the total against the table before cutting.

Distance to windows and doors

The termination of a direct-vent unit has to stay a minimum distance from any window or door that can be opened, so exhaust cannot drift back inside. The distance grows with the unit's input rating in steps set by NFPA 54, and the manual's clearance table repeats them.

A permanently closed window has its own, smaller recommendation in some manuals. We measure from the edge of the termination to the nearest edge of each opening, including windows above and beside it, and mark the spot only when every distance clears. The table also covers doors, including sliding glass doors that open.

Siding, standoffs and heat

Vinyl siding needs protection from a termination's heat, and vent makers supply a standoff or siding shield for it. The standoff holds the termination out from the siding so the cladding is not in contact with hot parts, and the kit instructions say how it is mounted and flashed into the wall.

On brick or stucco, the termination mounts to the wall surface with its own trim. The manuals also require the termination to sit flush with the wall surface rather than recessed into it, so exhaust can clear the wall. Stucco and brick still need the termination sealed to the wall as the kit shows.

Before the vent hole is cut

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.
