Gas insert installation points for South Eola homes
What our South Eola team explains at every gas insert inspection.
A path for the gas line in a factory-built firebox
A factory-built fireplace may have no hole for a gas line. The Supreme manual allows an access hole of one inch or less to be drilled through the lower sides, back or bottom of the firebox, within its lower half, and says the hole must be plugged with non-combustible insulation once the line is through.
We mark the location with the gas professional before anyone drills, so the line reaches the insert's connection without crowding the surround. The sealed hole is checked again at the end of the job.
Each liner on its own collar
Out of the box, the exhaust liner and the intake liner look alike. They do different jobs. The installation manual says to connect the exhaust vent only to the appliance's exhaust collar and the center collar of the termination cap, and the intake only to the inlet air collars.
Our installers mark the two liners before they go down the chimney and check both ends before anything is sealed. It is a simple habit that prevents a fault you would otherwise meet only when the insert refused to run properly.
Sealing the liner at the collar
Where each flexible liner meets its collar, the joint has to be tight. The Supreme manual says to fix each liner with three screws and, for a good result, seal the joint with stove cement or aluminum foil tape. It adds a specific instruction: do not use silicone at that joint.
Details like that come straight from the manual, and we follow them the same way on every insert. The sealed joints are looked at again at startup, once the insert is running and warm.
A TV above a gas insert
Plenty of homeowners want the TV above the fireplace. Heat & Glo publishes good-faith guidelines for TVs above its gas fireplaces, with minimum distances from the top of the opening and a mantel between the two, and states that they do not guarantee compliance with every TV maker's temperature limit.
The TV's own specifications set its maximum operating temperature. We read both documents, check the mantel against the insert's clearance table and give you an honest view before the bracket goes on the wall.

South Eola homeowners ask about gas inserts
Not covered here? Our South Eola team will answer on the phone.
Will a gas insert fit my fireplace in South Eola?
Many masonry and factory-built fireplaces can take one, but the insert's manual decides. We measure the width, rear width, height and depth of your firebox and check them against the model's minimum opening. You get the answer before you buy anything.
What if I smell gas after the install?
Get out of the house at once and phone 911 or your gas utility once you are outside, without lighting anything or touching switches or phones on the way. Once the utility says the house is safe, our team will come back and check the installation.
