How do I get permissions to use a part of the illustration graphics as an example for a video I’m working on? The videos I’m making are only for educational purposes only.
Not true that they work "uninterrupted" during a power outage. We have a DV Heat 'n Glow and it requires 2 D batteries to be installed behind the screen at bottom to run the electric igniter and the blower that pulls the air in from outside. Also had a neighbor do this and the batteries leaked after just a few days use during the historic Texas winter storms from last week (Feb 2021). I was running my DV fireplace when power went out. It turned itself off and would not go back on without batteries, which we did not have.
@@markhonea2461 oy, tell me about it. That's what I am dealing with these days. Propane bills, for heating and fireplace. These vents seem to always be pulling cold air from outside. How can I make these propane fireplaces more efficient? I put a fan behind it, but even then, it made little difference. Makes me think it's because fresh cold air is constantly coming in.
Burning propane to heat a home would be considered a desperate measure in my opinion and should only be used during a power outage or similar catastrophe.
The first image photos,show the vent goes upwards,than side ways.Csn a vent be made to go from side ways to upwards?
I like to know more about horizontal pipe and material to use. Please give me more links to watch and info.

We bought some lithium batteries to keep as backup for the fireplace. They stay charged for 10 years in the package.
This is for an IPI ignition system. A lot of direct vents use a milivolt system that provides its own power.
@@Bellevue_hc Good to delineate that, thanks. Many don't have that so it just won't work as simply.
I hate my direct vent. It radiates convects cold air when not in use.
Call a local fireplace service company. There’s likely a space that can easily be sealed.
That’s safer direct vent because you’re pulling in air from the outside and expelling fumes outside and that’s not gonna kill you
What will end up killing you will probably be your propane bill.
do you know how it drawns the cold air from outside? is it just using basic fire safety that fire tends to find more air to feed them up?

how is the heat transfer through the glass?
The glass acts as a radiant conductor for the heat of the flame in the burning chamber.

Better than electric
Most direct vents use natural gas. There are more heat efficient systems that are typically used in rural settings
