Direct-vent or B-vent

Two kinds of vented gas fireplace suit a house, and they treat the room differently. The direct-vent kind keeps its fire behind sealed glass and draws outside air in through its own coaxial pipe, so it takes nothing from the room and can leave through a wall or the roof. The B-vent kind draws combustion air from the room around it and needs a vertical vent that climbs out through the roof. For the Nocatee room, we say which of the two the room and the house can take, with the reason, before any model is chosen. Natural gas or propane at your Nocatee home? Say which on the call to (904) 920-5495.

Nocatee sits a short way inland, within about six miles of the coast. Nocatee lies roughly 17 miles from Jacksonville, measured directly rather than by road.

How It Works

How our gas fireplace pros install a unit in Nocatee

Unit and vent route chosen
We pick a listed unit for the room and draw the vent route against the manual's vent table.
Framed and vented to the manual
Framing, header and clearances come from the manual, and the vent is run with its firestops and supports.
Gas and power by their trades
A gas contractor or the propane supplier brings gas to the shutoff valve, and an electrician adds any outlet.
Start-up readings and leak check
Pressures are read at the valve, every joint is leak-checked, the flame is checked and the barrier fitted.

Local Conditions

Gas fireplace installs near the coast

Only about six miles or less separate Nocatee from the coast, and salt still reaches an outside vent cap there. A standard cap and plain screws rust sooner than they would far inland.

We choose the vent maker's corrosion-resistant termination parts for installs in Nocatee and note them on the record.

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.

Service access that stays open

Service is part of owning a gas fireplace, and for vented decorative units the fuel gas code keeps the way in open: panels, grilles and access doors removed for normal servicing are not to be attached to the building. In practice that means the lower grille, the control compartment and the glass frame stay removable after the finish goes on, with no tile, trim or caulk sealing them in. We point out those parts to whoever does the finish and check them before handover, so the next service visit does not start with a pry bar. The access is also what keeps yearly service quick.

FAQ

Before the vent hole is cut

Can I choose the tile or stone around the fireplace?

Yes, within the manual's rules. Only noncombustible materials may cover the metal face, set with the adhesive rating the manual gives, and a mantel follows the manual's chart.

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.
