B-Vent Installation
Vertical B-vent installation for gas fireplaces and log sets, natural-draft venting straight up and out through the roof, code-compliant.
Professional B-Vent Installation in Asheville & Western NC
B-vent, also called natural-vent, is a single-pipe system that carries a gas fireplace's exhaust straight up and out through the roof, drawing combustion air from inside the room and relying on the natural rise of hot gas to draft. Steady Flame Fireplaces installs B-vent systems for gas fireplaces and log sets across Western North Carolina where a tall, traditional flame and a vertical run to the roof make sense.
What's Involved
B-vent uses double-wall pipe that must run vertically from the appliance up through the roofline, with proper clearances to combustibles and a listed cap on top. We size and route the pipe to spec, maintain the rise needed for reliable draft, and flash and cap the roof penetration so it stays weathertight. Because B-vent draws room air and vents vertically, it suits specific appliances and layouts, and we'll tell you honestly whether it or a sealed direct-vent system fits your home better. As a licensed gas contractor, we run and pressure-test the gas line and pull the county permit too.
