Gas Log Kit Piping

Hello

Considering a gas log set for my home (converting a wood burning fireplace) This would be a direct vent type of kit. I am looking for a way to run the gas piping into the firebox. I am unable to come in from the side of the firebox, nor from the back, however there is an ash clean-out directly under the grate that holds the wood. would it be acceptable to use this chase-way to run my pipe?

Thanks

Kevn

I would ask the LOCAL inspector. You ARE getting a permit and inspections, correct?

Also make sure the insert you purchase allows the gas line to come in from the bottom center. I believe many (all?) do.

Leaking Faucet

Baldwin on Feb 12, 2016

Son has a drip on the hot supply side, he can't seem to get it to stop. He tried some teflon tape on it, didn't help. I told him to clean everything up and reattach it and not make it too tight, it was pretty tight taking it off. [IMG]http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c98/Oriley/faucet%20cone_zpswpuag3gg.jpg[/IMG] If that doesn't do it anything else he can try, I've never messed with anything like that? He did buy this but I'm not sure what he could use that for. [IMG]http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c98/Oriley/coupling%20nut_zpsdjmjuvhy.jpg[/IMG] ThanksRead More
