Venting Options

Gas fireplaces are both efficient and beautiful. Below are a few examples of how the venting system works. Ambler
Fireplace and Patio is knowladgeable about all gas applications and can help you in choosing the correct part for
your particular needs.

Direct Vent

Direct vent appliances draw combustion air from the outdoors and exhaust its combustion products to the outdoors, eliminating the need for a standard chimney system. A glass panel in direct vent units is critical to keeping the combustion system sealed from the home, maintaining high efficiency and indoor air quality. Direct vent piping can go out the wall directly in back of the unit or go upward from the top of the appliance then though the wall. Various models differ.

Standard Cap

For horizontal direct vent through the wall terminations only.

Snorkel Cap

Used when a vertical rise is desired to meet manufacturer's specs (commonly used in basements).
