Which fireplace would you recommend for horizontal venting through the rim joist,placed in a basement. Therefore, it will be coming off the top of the fireplace and 90% through the rim joist.
1 Answers
There are a broad range of direct vent model that can be terminated in this way, however some use smaller vent diameters than others. What will be the actual height of the rim joist for your application? How far above grade will the bottom of the joist be?

I would like to install a fireplace in my living room. I want to vent through the wall. I need everything to accomplish this. I would also like a thermostat control with a fan.
1 Answers
This and all other B-vent fireplaces cannot be vented horizontally or operated with a thermostat. They should only be considered as decorative hearth systems do to a lack of any efficient heat. For something that may be vented horizontally and may use a thermostat, please consider one of our Direct Vent Fireplaces.

Can this fireplace be vented horizontally ?
1 Answers
Unfortunately, no. Only direct vent gas fireplaces can be terminated horizontally. B vent models can vent horizontally through a wall, but the termination must be vertical and follow the 10/3/2 rule for above the roof terminations.

What is the difference between a direct vent and a b-vent insert?
1 Answers
Direct vent inserts will have a sealed pane of glass over the front of the opening that prevents them from pulling combustion air from the room. They instead use a dedicated outside air source for combustion. They are very efficient and can serve as a primary heat source for limited areas.
B vent inserts are open to the room and draw their combustion air from the building envelope. They are for ambiance only and not meant to serve as a supplemental heater.

How many square feet can this fire place heat?
1 Answers
B vent fireplaces are primarily designed for ambiance, as opposed to supplemental heating. While they can supply some radiant heat to the immediate area, the air they draw from the room usually means they end up being negatively efficient.
For heating purposes, I recommend using a direct vent fireplace. These sealed units draw outside combustion air for operation and they can provide a good deal of supplemental heat. A popular unit is the Empire Tahoe Deluxe Clean Face Direct Vent Gas Fireplace with Remote-Ready Millivolt Controls - 32 Inch. This model can heat 420 square feet of space on average.

How do you light the pilot light of this fireplace?
1 Answers
The gas control valve on this model will have a "pilot" position. Rotate the control knob to this position, then push in and hold. Immediately begin pushing the piezo ignitor until the pilot lights. Continue holding the pilot control knob in for an additional 30 seconds. You can then release the knob and turn it to the "on" position to ignite the main burner.

How high does the exhaust pipe need to go? Is it safe to hang a television on the wall above this unit, or B vent units in general?
1 Answers
The B-vent pipe used for exhaust on this unit must terminate above your roof. Per page 12 of the owner's manual, the pipe must be at least 12" over the roof, and higher if your roof pitch is steeper than 6/12.
A television may indeed be hung on the wall above this unit, but we do recommend keeping the mantel clearances in mind (found on Page 7 of that manual), and put it as high as feasible.

What does B-vent mean?
1 Answers
B-Vent refers to the type of pipe used on this fireplace and many gas appliances. This particular fireplace requires 4" diameter B-Vent pipe, and you can see the necessary parts in the "Venting Components" tab on this item page. Overall, B-Vent fireplaces are primarily meant for decorative purposes and will not provide much supplemental heat. This is due to their inefficient, open-faced nature, as most heat produced goes directly up the flue. If you are looking for an efficient gas hearth appliance, we recommend a direct vent fireplace. For more information about gas fireplaces, please see our Gas Fireplace and Stove Buying Guide.

I have a gas-fuel conventional fireplace now. It was installed in the original 1953 firebox. I want to put a nice fixture into the fireplace that is both pleasing to look at (gas-fired) and puts out heat. Is this the product for that? Can you suggest something else?
1 Answers
This particular unit is designed to be built into a framed wall and is largely for appearance purposes. I would recommend a direct vent fireplace for supplemental heating.

I would recommend this item to a friend.
A Good Deal
This was an easy install, and the framing diagram made it easy to be ready when the unit was delivered. The only downside is the lack of info as far as what you will need, what is included, etc. A wall mount thermostat is not OPTIONAL as the manual says, you kind of need that to run the thing. I was replacing an old, stand alone heating stove, so I definately needed the OPTION of a wall mount thermostat. It is not as warm as I'd hoped, so I am ordering the blower now. Also, I did not realize there were no doors included, just a screen. After seeing the price of the doors however, the screen will be just fine.......Overall though I am pleased, and it is very beautiful. For the price it is well worth it vs. replacing my old stove with another plain ol' stove.
ProsBeautiful
Easy to install
ConsInstructions are not real clear
not feeling the 21,000 BTUs
product info OPTIONS are misleading

Great quality for an affordable fireplace.
The install was easy, fired right up out of the box, and it heats our 1400 sq. ft home just fine. Not to mention it looks real nice also. Very pleased with what we got for how affordable it was. Of course is is not a top of the line fireplace, but that is not what I was expecting in this price range.
Please keep in mind that we are in a southern state (New Mexico) and for only a 21K BTU fireplace, I wouldn't expect it to heat a whole house in a colder climate. But it did our house just fine this past week at 20 degrees
ProsEase of install
Safety over old wall furnace
Looks & Styling of unit
ConsWe didn't have it last year
