Gas insert know-how for Cypress Springs homeowners
Worth reading before you approve a gas insert installation in Cypress Springs.
Vent parts from the insert's own system
Direct-vent systems are tested as a set: the insert, the liners, the adapters and the cap. Heat & Glo lists its Supreme inserts for use with named vent systems and components only, and warns that using parts that are not approved with the appliance may result in property damage or injury.
Look-alike pipe from another brand may fit the collar and still be wrong. We order the vent kit your manual calls for, keep the part labels with your paperwork and never mix pieces from different systems.
A shutoff valve within reach
Every gas appliance needs its own shutoff valve. Section 409.5.1 of Florida's Fuel Gas Code says the valve must be in the same room as the appliance, within six feet of it, upstream of the connector and accessible. Valves placed in a fireplace firebox follow the appliance maker's instructions.
Inserts often put the valve behind a removable panel or low in the firebox area. We show you where yours is at the walkthrough and how to reach it, including any tool the maker supplies for turning it.
Sealing a wall built out around the fireplace
Sometimes the fireplace face is built out with a new wall to update its look. Heat & Glo says the surround must overlap that wall extension, and that the transition to the existing masonry wall must be sealed to keep heat from escaping behind the wall.
The manual gives two ways to seal that transition, high-temperature silicone rated for 300 degrees or insulation packed into the voids between the masonry and the steel studs, and says slots in the steel studs must be sealed too. If a face-lift is part of your plans, we work out the order with you, so the insert, the new wall and the surround fit together the way the manual shows.
Set level in every direction
Tipped forward or leaning to one side, an insert looks wrong and can strain the liner connections. The installation manual calls for leveling the appliance side to side and front to back, using its adjustable legs and the leveling bolts packed with the manual.
Firebox floors are often uneven, particularly in older masonry fireplaces. Our installers level the insert before the surround goes on and check it again once it is pushed into place.

Can I put a TV above my gas insert?
Often, if the mantel and the distances in the maker's guidance work and the TV's temperature limit allows it. We check the insert's clearance table and the TV's specifications before the bracket goes up.
Does a gas insert need a new cap on the chimney?
Yes. The insert's liners end at a termination cap from the same vent system, sealed to a plate that closes the top of the old chimney. An old chimney cap cannot do that job.
