For those who are not familiar with direct vent gas fireplaces, here is a explanation of what they are and a basic idea of how they work. Direct vent gas fireplaces have a gasket sealed glass door to keep room air mixing with combustion air from mixing. Direct vent gas fireplaces have a unique venting system that allow them to directly vent out the wall of the home to the exterior of the home . This ability allows for a easy installation without the need for a full chimney. Top vented models typically require a 2 to 3 foot rise before turning 90 degrees to the outside. Generally rear vented gas fireplaces can vent straight out the back with a very small rise .
Direct vent gas fireplace inserts work in a similar way. Typically the top of the direct vent gas insert will have 2- outlets typically both 3 inch diameter but sometime one 3 inch and one 4 inch. These ports are for exhaust and the other a intake. In a gas fireplace insert application 2 aluminum chimney liners are inserted down the chimney and connected to the top of the gas fireplace insert. At the top of the chimney there will typically be a termination that separated the combustion air intake line and the exhaust line so the gases don't cross ventilate.
