Gas insert installation points for Eagle Creek homes
Plain answers about how gas inserts are installed in Eagle Creek, and why each step matters.
Air in a new gas line
A newly connected gas line holds some air. The manual explains that this small amount of air must be purged, and that lighting the appliance lets it purge through the pilot assembly.
That is why a new insert can take a few tries to light the first time. Our technician handles the first lighting, watches the pilot and the burner come up and stays until the flame is steady. If the pilot will not stay lit after a reasonable number of tries, we stop and find the cause instead of forcing it.
Mantel legs and side walls
Clearance rules apply at the sides as well as the top. The Supreme manual has tables for mantel legs and wall projections beside the opening, with minimum dimensions for each insert size and surround model.
Stone columns, wood pilasters and built-in shelving beside a fireplace all count. We measure them with the mantel, so the whole face works with the insert and nothing has to be torn out after the fact.
Ember material, placed by the diagram
Glowing ember material adds to the look of a gas fire, and it has rules too. The Supreme manual says embers cannot be placed over marked burner ports or in the pilot area, must be laid loosely in a single layer no more than a quarter inch thick, and should be replaced annually.
Too much ember, or ember pressed into the ports, causes lighting trouble and soot. We place it by the diagram and leave the spare material with you for the yearly service.
Replacing an older gas insert
An insert at the end of its life can usually be replaced with a new one, but the new model brings its own requirements. Its minimum opening, vent kit, collar positions and gas connection may all differ from the old unit.
We remove the old insert and look at what it leaves behind. Old liners are reused only when the new model's manual lists them as part of its system and they are in good condition. Otherwise the new insert gets the vent it was tested with.

Gas fireplace insert FAQs for Eagle Creek
Not covered here? Our Eagle Creek team will answer on the phone.
Is there a 10% discount on gas inserts?
There is. A gas insert installation booked within 72 hours after your free inspection is 10% off. Ask for it when you call, and the saving is written into the estimate.
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.
