Start-up and handover

Lighting the burner is not the end of an installation; the readings are. At start-up the gas pressure is measured coming into the valve and going to the burner and compared with the rating plate, each connection gets a leak-detection solution, and the pilot and main flame are compared with the manual's drawings once the unit is warm. Logs and embers go onto the diagram and the barrier screen goes on.

Before we leave the Sawgrass house, you run the unit yourself, find the shutoff valve with us, and keep the manual. A year later, the first service is due. Ring (904) 920-5495 with the room you have in mind, and our gas fireplace pros will plan the Sawgrass install on a free visit.

Sawgrass lies on the coastline. Sawgrass sits about 14 miles from Jacksonville, measured directly.

How It Works

How our gas fireplace pros install a unit in Sawgrass

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

Vent terminations by the water in Sawgrass

Sawgrass touches the ocean, and a new vent termination spends its life in salt air. Rust starts at its fasteners, trim and screen.

For installs in Sawgrass we use the corrosion-resistant termination parts the vent maker lists, and we record them so they can be matched later.

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.

What the unit sits on

The manuals we install from let a unit sit directly on wood flooring or a subfloor. When it would sit on carpet, tile or another combustible surface other than wood flooring, the manuals call for a metal or wood panel under the full width and depth of the unit. The unit is then secured to the floor or to the framing with the fasteners and points the manual shows, so it cannot shift when the facing is installed or the glass is removed for service. Raised platforms are built to the same rule, with the panel on top. The panel goes on before the unit is slid into place.

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.

FAQ

Before the vent hole is cut

Can a gas fireplace be installed in a house in Sawgrass without a chimney?

Yes. A direct-vent unit uses its own listed vent pipe through a wall or the roof, so no chimney is needed. The site visit checks where the termination can go.

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.
