It makes sense, because they are convenient and safe, featuring sealed combustion systems that protect indoor air quality by drawing outside air for the fire and expelling 100% of combustion exhaust and byproducts outside the home. Venting includes a single “direct vent” with two chambers that work together to perform dual purposes: one chamber draws oxygen from outside, while another expels the fire’s byproducts and gases. Most direct vents are terminated horizontally through a wall, but they can also be routed through a top vent or side vent.
