What our Windhover crew checks on a gas fireplace install
Each point comes from fireplace manuals or the gas code, and each one shapes your plan in Windhover.
Pipe joints that stay locked
Direct-vent pipe twists and locks together, and adjustable slip sections take up the odd lengths. The Novus manual calls for a minimum overlap of an inch and a half on the outer flue where a slip section meets the pipe, secured with screws.
A joint that pulls apart inside a wall is not something anyone wants to find later. We lock every section, fasten the slip joints as the manual shows and check the run before the framing is covered.
Too much pressure, too little pressure
Gas pressure has to sit inside a window. The Novus manual warns that high pressure may cause an overfire condition and damage the valve, calls for a regulator upstream of the valve if line pressure is above half a psig, and warns that low pressure can also create a hazard.
We compare the readings at the test ports with the rating plate on every installation. If either end is off, the fix happens before the fireplace goes into regular use.
Noncombustible framing near the front
The area right around the opening gets the most heat. The Novus manual warns that framing or finishing material used on the front of, or in front of, the appliance closer than the listed minimums must be built entirely of noncombustible materials, giving steel studs and concrete board as examples.
That is why a fireplace wall often has a steel-stud and cement-board section around the unit. We build that zone to the manual, then hand it to the tile or stone setter with the clearances already correct.

Who runs the gas line to the new fireplace?
A qualified gas professional runs and connects the supply. It is listed on its own estimate line with the name of whoever does it. Our team coordinates the timing with the framing and finish work.
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.
