How to Measure Your Fireplace For Gas Logs

Measuring Your Fireplace

It's important to buy the right size log set . Improper sizing can interfere with proper drafting of your fireplace. If the logs are too large, the unit will not burn efficiently and the size may hamper the proper operation of the Hearth a Fyre™. If you have too small of a log set it will diminish the beauty of your hearth setting. The Hearth a Fyreworks with 18" - 24" gas logs. Look below to see the parts of the fireplace you'll need to measure before purchasing your log set - this area of your fireplace is called the "firebox".

Gas Requirements
Is a gas line currently installed?

If no, then a gas line or propane line will need to be installed upon installation on the logs. A licensed gas line installer should install your gas line.

If yes, it will need to be at least a 1/2" gas line. If the line is longer than 20 feet long from the main line, you may need a larger diameter line.
