Fireplace Installation Manuals

Important Note: Not all prefabricated fireplaces are approved for gas logs!

Before you purchase gas logs, you must determine if your fireplace is approved for vented gas logs, vent free gas logs, both or neither. In order to make that determination, you will need to refer to the owners manual where it will tell you explicitly what is approved. No mention of approval means it is NOT approved. If you do not have a copy of your fireplace owners manual, you may be able to download it from our archive of fireplace installation manuals below that we have compiled over the years. Hopefully you can find your manual here and determine what type of gas logs it is approved for.

Vented Gas Logs: Vented gas logs are typically referred to as a "Decorative Gas Appliance". You will find that most prefab fireplaces are approved for vented gas logs, but may have specific limitations for their use such as a requirement for an "automatic shutoff", which means you will be required to have a safety pilot or electronic ignition system...not a match-light system.

Ventless Gas Logs: Ventless gas logs are NOT referred to as a decorative gas appliance but rather as an "unvented heater", "ventless heater" or some other similar use of the words ventless, vent free or unvented. If the manual does not explicitly say it is approved for a ventless appliance in whatever terms it uses, then it is NOT approved for use with ventless gas logs.

Get Help: If you cannot locate the manual for your fireplace, call us at 1-800-201-1193 or email some pictures of your fireplace along with the brand name and model number. There should be a label inside your fireplace somewhere close to the opening on either side or at the top where you can find that info. Please be sure to include a legible picture of that label and I will see if I can locate a manual for it and add it to this archive. Email your pictures to: gregt@hansenwholesale.com

Marco fireplaces

Marco Fireplaces: Marco wood burning fireplaces are approved for vented gas logs only, they are NOT approved for ventless gas logs. Finding an owners manual for a Marco fireplace is quite difficult because they went out of business years ago and were bought out by Lennox, who purchased their assets but discontinued manufacturing of the brand.

Desa Fireplaces

DESA Gas Fireplaces: DESA Woodburning Fireplaces:

Desa international filed bankruptcy in December 2008 and is no longer in business. The dropdown menus below link to DesaTech.com, which is an information site for products manufactured by Desa prior to 2009. Please be aware that most DESA fireplaces require a specific DESA hood to be installed in order to accommodate vent free gas logs. These hoods are no longer available, so if you have a DESA fireplace and it does not already have the hood installed, then you CANNOT use ventless gas logs...although vented gas logs may still be approved.
