What goes into a good log set install in Randal Park
Useful to know before you approve a log set for your Randal Park fireplace.
An ash lip or recess at the firebox front
Some fireboxes have a raised lip or a dropped recess just inside the opening. One log set maker does not allow its burner in a fireplace where that lip or recess is deeper than 3/4 inch.
The same manual measures the firebox depth from inside the lip, so a lip can make a deep-looking firebox too shallow on paper. Our installers measure the lip and the true depth before choosing a burner size.
A supplemental heater only
Florida's fuel gas code, in section 621.2, does not allow unvented room heaters to be a home's only source of comfort heat. One vent-free manual pitches its set as extra heat for a single room and never as the main heat for the house.
For most homes that is exactly how a log set gets used, a warm fire on a cool evening. Our specialists make sure the set you choose is sized for that role and not asked to do more.
Supply pressure the burner needs
A burner needs gas at the right pressure to light and run properly. One maker wants at least 5 inches of water column at the inlet on natural gas and at least 11 on propane, with ceilings of 10.5 and 13.
The same manual says not to install the set if the minimum pressure is not available, since low pressure affects the pilot. Our technicians measure the pressure at the set with the burner running and note the reading in your record.
Leak testing every connection
Every joint made during an installation gets checked before the burner is lit. Gas appliance manuals we work from allow leak testing with a soap and water solution or an approved leak test spray and never with an open flame.
Our installers test each connection they make or disturb, including the valve, the flex connector and the burner inlet, and they repeat the check after the set has run. The test is written into the scope of every job.
Handing over the set and the manual
Before our crew leaves, we show you how to light the set, adjust the flame and shut it down, where the shutoff valve is and where the damper clamp sits. The manual stays with you, open at the pages you will use.
One maker says its rating plates and warning tags must never be removed, since they identify the appliance and its safety requirements. We leave them in place and show you where to find them.

Asked in Randal Park about installing gas logs
Our gas log team in Randal Park answers the usual questions here. Call about anything else.
Can I use logs from a different brand on my burner?
Use the logs listed for your burner. The burner, logs and embers are tested as one set, and one maker warns against adding extra embers because they cause unsafe operation. We order matched parts only.
Does it matter if my home uses natural gas or propane?
Yes. The set must match the gas named on its rating plate. One vented set is not field convertible at all, while one vent-free set can be converted between the two gases by a qualified installer. One maker also requires the propane supply to be regulated.
