Can the fireplace vent be run straight out the back of the house and not up chimney?
1 Answer
Gas fireplace inserts can only be installed inside of an existing wood burning fireplace and the flue must follow the route already established. a new gas fireplace or "zero clearance" as they are called in the industry, can be rear vented as you described.

November 16, 2016
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.
