Propane houses

Propane changes a few steps. The fireplace is ordered for propane or converted with the maker's kit before start-up, and its rating plate names the gas. The tank, its regulator and the line to the house are the propane supplier's, and gas fireplace manuals put propane tanks outdoors rather than inside any structure.

Some manuals also set a minimum tank size so supply keeps pace with the burner. For a propane house in Nassau Village-Ratliff, we settle the line and the timing with the supplier, and the start-up reading confirms the pressure the plate calls for. Nothing is lit until that reading is right. We plan gas fireplace installs in Nassau Village-Ratliff on a first visit that costs nothing; call (904) 920-5495.

How our gas fireplace pros install a unit in Nassau Village-Ratliff

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.

Propane installs in Nassau Village-Ratliff

A propane fireplace runs from a tank outside the house, and the manuals are clear that the tank never goes inside a structure.

For propane installs in Nassau Village-Ratliff, the supplier sets the tank and runs the line, and we coordinate the start-up with them.

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.

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.

Sizing the supply to the input

Full rated input, at the pressure on the rating plate, is what the burner needs, measured at the valve with the burner running. The supply line from the meter or tank has to deliver that while the water heater, range and any furnace run too. Sizing that line is the gas contractor's job, done to the fuel gas code's tables, and it may mean a larger line or a new branch rather than a tap off the nearest pipe.

At start-up the inlet reading tells whether the supply did its job. A low inlet reading at start-up goes back to the gas contractor instead of into an adjustment at the valve.

Before the vent hole is cut

Is a permit needed for a gas fireplace?

Yes. The permit comes from the local building department, and its inspections cover the gas connection, the vent and the framing before the finish closes them in. Both appear on the estimate.

Does the 10% discount cover a gas fireplace installation?

It does, when you book the installation within 72 hours of the free inspection. The written estimate shows the 10% off as its own line.
