Complying with safety regulations
Current gas safety regulations* stipulate that, in many cases where a living flame gas fire is installed with an open flue, an exterior vent should be fitted. This is a n essential safety precaution to provide replacement air to the room.
Decorative Wall Vent
Gazco's decorative wall vent is designed to be neat and easy to install. Once a cylindrical hole has been made in the wall with a 5" (125mm) core drill, the durable polypropylene tube is slid in and cut to length. The interior vent is polished brass with a no-tarnish finish, while the exterior is weatherproof polyester-coated steel in a choice of colours.
