Easy Steps In Gas Log Installation

By Dale Peck


Logs from trees have been a source of warmth and comfort to people for ages during the cold months. They have been a necessity to flame up fireplaces in households. In the recent times, a new method of building fire on furnaces has emerged. The gas log installation South Lake TX and its counterparts in the business have provided mankind with man made effluvium powered logs that have given extreme efficiency when it comes to generating flames. More than that, it is a big help in the environment.

Gas logs are burners that are made of ceramic or cement which are formed to look like real firewood. Usually, propane supplies the substance they need in order to produce combustion. Vented burners require dampers that are partially or fully opened. Ventless burners need a closed damper. Even if they function with the help of volatile substances, they should not, at all cost, be used in effluvium burning furnaces.

It is very important to identify whether your fireplace is wood or volatile substance burning. Ironically, gas logs should only be installed on wood burning fireplaces. Installing them on the wrong one may cause asphyxiation because of increased smoke production or worse, it can cause flames that can burn down a house.

A masonry fireplace is suitable for both vented and ventless types. Tilt up versions of this type of fireplace that are made of bricks or concrete have good compatibility level. Dampers which can be opened and can be closed are best in installing these man made woods. Never install them on a gas stove.

There are simple and general steps in installing artificial firewood. You have to make the burner pan ready first by connecting the safety valve nearest to it after making sure that the fireplace adjustment knob is not turned on. Secure the connection by tightening it.

Then, attach the supply line into the effluvium outlet. You can do this by using two wrenches, one to hold the outlet steady and the other to remove the cap. Follow with connecting the supply line to the outlet. You can test for leaks by spraying soapy water on the part where the ports meets. If bubbling occurs, turn off the the effluvium outlet. Refit the lines and check again.

Next is assembling the parts which consist of pilot assembly and the diverter bracket. A heat cover should protect the heat valve to prevent increase of temperature that can generate fire. The final step is the putting of the sand, rocks, and ideally, ceramic woods.

In putting the three elements, evenly scatter the sand first over the burner. This will help the equipment produce a more consistent fire. Never forget to keep the pilot light from anything that can obscure it. Put rock wool and vermiculite on top of the sand. Pour lava rocks all over the furnace. Place the grate on top of the pan and stock the artificial woods accordingly.

The user manual can also provide you with tips on how to maintain your effluvium powered artificial woods. A more efficient way of heating has been provided by gas log installation South Lake TX. It has also allowed the environment to relax from too much carbon because it releases fewer emissions.
