Replacing gas logs that came with the house

A house bought with a gas log set in the fireplace often comes without its manual. Without it, nobody knows which set it is, whether the logs are in the right places or whether the damper clamp is still there. Logs from another set do not match the burner's layout, so the manual matters.

We identify the set from its rating plate, find its manual, reset the logs to it and check the clamp, pressure and flame. Where the set is past its life, a replacement is quoted. Inherited gas logs at a house in Kings Ferry? Have them checked at (904) 920-5495.

Unvented logs and metal fireplaces

Code section 621.7 keeps an unvented decorative room heater out of a factory-built fireplace unless the fireplace system has been tested, listed and labeled for that use under UL 127.

One vent-free maker allows its set in a masonry fireplace or a UL 127 factory-built fireplace, but not in a factory-built unit whose own instructions say it was not tested for, or should not be used with, unvented gas logs. The fireplace's own plate and instructions are read before any vent-free set goes into a metal unit. A metal fireplace that rules vent-free out may still take a vented set its manual allows.

Fresh air in a tightly built house

Air leaking around doors and windows can supply a vent-free set in an older house, but not in a tight one. One maker says a home with a continuous vapor retarder, weather stripping on doors and windows, and sealed joints around frames and sole plates must have additional fresh air from outdoors.

Its manual describes ways to bring that air in from outside or from adjoining rooms. We ask about the house's construction and recent upgrades before recommending a vent-free set, since a tight house changes the answer. A worksheet in the manual turns that into numbers.

Logs placed to the manual's photos

Every piece in a log set has a place. Manuals show the layout in photos or drawings, with locator pins or notches, and one maker allows some freedom in arrangement only as long as noticeable soot does not appear.

The same maker reads a steady build-up of soot on a log as incomplete combustion where flame touches it, and asks for that log to be moved to reduce the contact. We set each log to the manual at installation and show you the layout, and logs are handled only when cool or with heat-resistant gloves. Snapping the finished layout before the first cleaning makes it easy to put back.

Gas log questions from Kings Ferry

What is the damper clamp for?

It fixes the damper partly open so exhaust from vented logs keeps a way out, even if someone reaches for the handle. Fitting it is part of our installation.

Why are my gas logs getting sooty?

Flame touching a log it should not reach, a burner or ember bed out of order, or a shortage of air. Logs go back to the manual's layout and the burner and air get checked.
