Installing a gas fireplace in Lake Cain Hills, explained
Worth a read before you approve a gas fireplace project in Lake Cain Hills.
Level runs and pitched runs
Horizontal vent rules vary by maker. The Novus manual says horizontal runs do not require a vertical rise and may be installed level, while other systems can call for a set pitch on horizontal pipe.
We never apply one maker's rule to another's pipe. The pitch, or the lack of one, comes from the manual for your fireplace, and our installers check it with a level before the wall is closed.
Soffits and roof overhangs above the cap
Roof overhangs sit right where a wall vent wants to go. The Novus table gives separate minimums for a ventilated soffit and an unventilated one above the cap, and a larger clearance again for vinyl soffit material, which the heat can distort.
Many homes have vented soffits all the way around. We measure the height from the planned cap to the soffit and check the soffit material, so the cap goes where the table allows it.
Reading the mantel chart
A combustible mantel above a gas fireplace has to sit high enough for its depth. The Novus manual gives a stepped chart, measured from the top of the hood: the deeper the mantel projects, the higher above the hood it must sit.
We measure the mantel you have or the one you plan and place it on that chart for your model. If a deep mantel would need to sit higher than your design allows, you hear it before the framing is set, along with the choices.

Quick answers on gas fireplace installs in Lake Cain Hills
Plain answers from our fireplace team in Lake Cain Hills. Anything else, give us a call.
Where can the vent cap go on my house?
Wherever the manual's clearance table allows. It sets distances from windows, doors, soffits, corners, air intakes, the gas meter and walkways. We measure each one before choosing the spot.
Can a gas fireplace go in a bedroom?
It can when the model and room meet the Fuel Gas Code. Direct-vent units installed to their listing are an exception to the bedroom rule, and other vented fireplaces must meet a room volume test. We check both for your room.
