(208 products)

Built-in gas fireplaces are self-contained units that can be installed into a framed enclosure, mantel, or wall space. For safe operation, these fireplaces need a dedicated chimney or vent system positioned within a few inches of combustible materials. The venting can be directed through an exterior wall or connected to an existing chimney using compatible components.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the valve types available for built-in gas fireplaces?

When selecting a built-in gas fireplace, you'll encounter two primary types of valves: electronic and millivolt.
