Gas fireplaces in bedrooms

The fuel gas code lists bedrooms among the rooms where gas appliances are not allowed, then writes exceptions that cover fireplaces. A direct-vent unit qualifies when it is installed to its listing, since it takes no air from the room. A B-vent unit qualifies only in a room big enough for the code's volume test, which compares the room's cubic footage with the unit's input. For a bedroom in Neptune Beach, we measure the room, take the input from the unit's specifications, and put the arithmetic on the estimate so you can see whether a B-vent model passes or a direct-vent unit is the answer. Ring (904) 920-5495 with the room you have in mind, and our gas fireplace pros will plan the Neptune Beach install on a free visit.

How our gas fireplace pros install a unit in Neptune Beach

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.

Placing the termination on coastal homes in Neptune Beach

Onshore wind on the coast can press against a wall termination. The manual's clearances still decide the spot, and within them we favor a side that is easy to reach for rinsing and checks.

The termination on your Neptune Beach house is placed where you can see it and keep it clear.

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.

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.

Choosing termination parts near salt spray

Salt spray speeds up corrosion of exposed steel, and a new vent termination spends its life outdoors. Near the coast, we look at what the vent maker offers for the termination, its trim and its fasteners, including stainless or coated options where the maker lists them, and use those parts on the exterior. The termination is placed where it can be reached for rinsing and inspection, and the manual's clearances still govern its spot. The corrosion-resistant parts chosen are recorded, so they can be matched if anything is replaced later. Rinsing the cap with fresh water now and then slows the salt down.

Before the vent hole is cut

Is a direct-vent unit or a B-vent unit better?

It depends on the room and the route. A direct-vent unit is sealed and can exit through a wall, and it is allowed in bedrooms when installed to its listing. A B-vent unit uses room air and needs a vertical vent through the roof.

Does a gas fireplace need an electrical outlet?

Units with electronic ignition or a blower do, in the location the manual shows, and an electrician adds it if one is not there. A standing-pilot unit without a blower can run with no house power.
