Direct Vent Fireplace Installation
A free standing direct vent fireplace installation is not
as difficult as you may believe. You are likely to have a more difficult
time choosing from all the trim options than actually doing the fireplace
installation. Direct vent fireplace installations can be recessed into
a wall or free standing from the wall into the room. The pictures below
will show the basic steps necessary for a typical direct vent fireplace
installation.
- Place the base and hearth against the wall.
- Next, the firebox (shown with the optional brick lining) is placed
on the hearth. Connect your gas line so the piping fits inside of it
- Your chosen cabinet/mantel can then be placed around the firebox.
- Finally, add your chosen trim and accessories.
Size of Cabinet/Mantel
This size of your cabinet/mantel is determined by the size
required to accommodate the firebox you choose. The size of the firebox
will be determined by the size of the room, and the amount of heat you
desire.

pages to determine dimensions and specs of each cabinet. If you are remodeling,
don't forget to check for light switches and electrical plugs that may
potentially be covered by the cabinet.
Instructions
Many cabinets come in a kit complete with easy to read instructions
and all necessary hardware. However, individual home situations can be
unpredictable and may require a professional.
