Convert Vented Gas Log Set to Vent-Free
Q: I have a vented Rasmussen gas log set. Since much of
the heat goes up the chimney, I would like to convert to a ventless log set. Since I already have the logs and various cosmetic pieces, is there a conversion
kit to convert to a vent-free system from a vented?
A: Unfortunately, you cannot use any of the vented components (logs, burners or controls) in a converting to a vent-free solution; you must purchase a complete vent-free set.
The
vent-free systems use totally different burners. All
component in a vent-free
gas log sets interrelate, and are certified together as a set to the national unvented heater standard, ANSI
Z21.11.2. You cannot "mix and
match" components. The most restrictive of all gas appliance
standards,
it allows the least amount of Carbon Monoxide (CO) (200 ppm air free)
of any gas burning appliance (by contrast, the standard for a kitchen
range, which is also an unvented appliance, allows up to 800 ppm air
free). Vent-free gas log sets must also be designed so that
they do not produce soot.
You
need to purchase a gas log set specifically designed and certified
for vent-free use, such as our Chillbuster Gas Logs
