Does a direct vent fireplace need a separate fresh air intake vent?

Yes, all direct vent gas fireplace inserts require one liner for exhaust and another liner for intake, both the run up through an existing chimney from the insert to the top of the chimney.

I currently have a brick fireplace with gas logs. I would like to convert it to an insert. Would direct vent require me to cut a hole in the brick chimney or is there a way to vent it out the top? What is used as a power supply for the blower. Would I need regular 120V run to the insert?
1 Answer
With direct vent inserts, the pipe will be colinear and will run up to the top of your chimney. You will indeed need 120V to power the blower.
