Common Terms Related to Propane Inserts

 

B-Vent Propane Insert: This type of fireplace is most commonly installed in a masonry fireplace opening or in a zero clearance box. This fireplace is typically a retrofit option for those considering replacing old, inefficient wood burning fireplaces. A B-Vent Propane Insert uses air from inside the room for combustion and exhausts it through a chimney liner (usually 3" or 4") that is installed through an existing masonry chimney (or in some instances through a pre-fabricated chimney). Sometimes B-Vent Propane Inserts are referred to as conventional vented inserts. Typically this type of insert is cheaper than other alternatives and fits more applications.

Direct Vent (co-linear) Propane Insert: This type of fireplace is most commonly installed in a masonry fireplace opening or in a zero clearance box. This fireplace is typically a retrofit option for those considering replacing old, inefficient wood burning fireplaces. A Direct Vent Fireplace Insert utilizes a co-linear chimney liner (unlike a B-Vent which uses a single liner). In a co-linear chimney liner, one liner is used to take fresh air from outside the house, which is used for combustion, while the second liner is used for exhaust. Typically each liner is 3" in diameter and is installed through an existing masonry chimney. Because a Direct Vent Fireplace Insert requires a co-linear chimney liner it is usually more expensive to purchase up-front, however, because it uses outside air for combustion and because it has a sealed chamber, it is typically much more economical and efficient to operate.
