Parts of a Natural Gas Fireplace

1) Gas Line The gas line channels the natural
gas or propane into the fireplace. When you turn
a gas fireplace "on", you are opening this valve
and allowing the gas to be lit by the pilot
light.

2) Ignition

• The ignition system of a gas fireplace is a part
  of the gas line and ensures that the gas ignites
  when it enters the fireplace.
• Ignition systems are typically pilot lights.

3) Firebox

• The firebox is made from fireproof materials,
  usually metals, that are joined together so they
  are airtight.
• Inside the firebox are synthetic logs and coals
  to make the fireplace look more natural.

4) Venting System
Venting systems are typically simple metal pipes,
layered for heat protection, that connect the
firebox to the outdoor air.

5) Fans

• Gas fireplaces do not always have fan systems,
  but those that do not cannot heat rooms
  effectively.
• The fan systems use an electric motor to turn fan
  blades that cycle air around the firebox when it
  absorbs some of the heat from the fire.
