Direct
Vent Fireplaces are a great choice for rooms in which a traditional
masonry fireplace is not practical or possible. A Direct Vent
Gas Fireplace is also great for those homeowners who want instant heat
without the mess and maintenance that is associated with burning wood.
Using a Direct Vent Gas Fireplace does not require an existing masonry
chimney or brick fireplace and require very little pipe for installation.
Direct Vent Fireplaces can be vented horizontally through an outside
wall or vertically through the roof and will minimize heat loss through
the chimney.
Direct Vent Fireplaces simulate a true wood burning fire with realistic
ceramic or refractory logs, a glowing ember bed, and vibrant dancing
flames. A Direct Vent Gas Fireplaces will come with factory installed
gas logs that cannot be modified or changed in any way.
A Direct Vent Gas Fireplace saves space by allowing furniture to be
positioned on either side since heat is radiated out the front of the
unit and they can also be inset into a wall making them a popular option
for condos and apartments.
How Does a Direct Vent Gas Fireplace Work
A Direct Vent Gas Fireplace does not require a chimney
and can vent horizontally out a sidewall or vertically through a roof.
Direct Vent Fireplaces have a completely enclosed chamber that is extremely
efficient, drawing in air for combustion from the outside and expelling
gases to the outside as well. Direct Vent Fireplaces have a porous front
glass enclosure that allows radiant heat to pass into the room. Direct
Vent Fireplaces are able to heat the room without robbing it of oxygen
or of the heated air it is providing, while also keeping it free of
fumes and combustible materials such as ash and embers.
Direct Vent Gas Fireplace Vent Pipe
Direct Vent Fireplaces use
Direct Vent Pro Chimney Pipe
which is a unitized, coaxial venting system designed for use with direct
vent gas or propane stoves, heaters, and fireplaces. Direct Vent chimney
pipe is a double-wall chimney venting system with an aluminum inner
wall and laser-welded galvalume outer wall. Direct Vent chimney pipe
runs through a hole in the wall behind the unit, or through the roof
above it. The outer pipe draws air in from the outside to create combustion
for burning the gas while the inner pipe takes waste to the outside.
Direct Vent Pro is engineered with excellence, innovation,
and style and is specified exclusively by nearly every major stove and
fireplace manufacturer in the US and Canada. Direct Vent Pro features
tight inner connections for superb performance with no gaskets or sealants
required (unless specified by the appliance manufacturer). Dura Vent
Pro features low-profile locks and no hems or beads for a beautiful
product that looks elegant in any interior.
Direct venting is considered
a safe system because no air from inside is used in combustion and all
wastes flow to the outside. Both of these actions reduce the risks of
carbon monoxide buildup within the house.
