Fastfireplaces.com Guides You On Setting Up Your Hargrove Gas Logs
Added: (Thu Oct 09 2008)
Hargrove gas fire logs are a wonderful addition to any fireplace, and all natural gas and propane gas logs are completely customizable.
Hargrove vented gas logs are available with RGA2-72 (Radco) or ANSI Z21.60 (CSA) certified burners, and can be used with natural gas (NG) or liquid propane (LP) configurations. Fastfireplaces.com offers a variety of Hargrove gas fireplace logs to choose from, and we can walk you through your gas log choices.
Vented gas logs are designed to operate in existing wood-burning fireplaces, with the damper fully opened. Our Hargrove vented gas logs are divided into two categories: Fresh Cut Paint or Charred Paint series. Both series have a variety of gas log models to meet all of your decorative fireplace needs. We also offer Hargrove's exciting new Radiant Heat gas fire log series. These gas log configurations are designed to emit more radiant heat than conventional gas logs while using less fuel, giving your hearth both beauty and warmth throughout the winter.
First you'll want to measure your fireplace to determine what size of natural gas or propane log set you'll need. At Fastfireplaces.com, we carry vented gas logs fit in a variety of fireplace configurations, but they require a working chimney. Determining which size Hargrove vented gas log set will work best with
your fireplace is fairly simple. By taking a few
measurements of the inside of the fireplace, you will be able to decide which gas log set will
best fit your home.
Hargrove gas log set sizes are based on the approximate length of the front
log of the set. For sets with two piece front logs, the combined
length of the two log pieces will correspond to the
size of the set, when installed. So a 24" set will have a front log that is
approximately 24". All measurements should be made from the inside surfaces or firebrick
of the fireplace. Front width (A) and depth (C) are the most important
dimensions for vented gas log sizing. These measurements should be
taken from the fireplace floor, inside the hearth or lip of the
fireplace, and behind any wire screens or railing that may be
permanently attached to the fireplace. In deeper fireplaces, front
width measurements can be taken 6" to 8" from the front, allowing
better centering below the flue of the fireplace.
Subtract 8" from the front width (A) dimension, for the best overall
sizing of the log set. This allows 4" on either side of the front log
of the set, giving plenty of room for valve clearance and centering the
log set in the fireplace. If desired, side clearances as low as 4" (2"
per side) will normally work on sets without safety pilot controls, and
many people prefer the look of a very full fireplace, which this
arrangement helps create. Rear width (B) is rarely a critical dimension with single-sided vented
gas logs, unless the rear of the fireplace is extremely narrow. Height
(D) is also rarely a problem; the height of Hargrove standard
single-sided vented gas log sets are 16".
Second, after you measure and choose the size of your Hargrove gas log set, you'll want to pick a design that you like. Fastfireplaces.com offers a wide range of styles and types of vented gas logs to choose from, all of which are clean and have realistic flames. We carry 18", 21", 24", and 30" models of all high end gas logs, perfect for any size fireplace. Whether you're in Cleveland, OH or Columbia, SC, we are certain to have the model of natural gas log that suits you.
Third, you want to choose a burner system. All vented gas logs require a burner to function, and Hargrove burners are specially designed to maximize economy and flame visibility. Hargrove logs and Hargrove burners are best purchased together. We carry three types of burners: the economic Hargrove Radco-certified Ember Burners, the innovative Hargrove Radco-certified H-Burners, and the revolutionary Hargrove CSA-certified System Four Burners. All of these burners are customizable to a high degree, and can use natural gas or propane.
Fourth, you want to pick your preferred fuel source. Fastfireplaces.com offers Hargrove gas log sets that come standard with Natural Gas; however, for your convenience we also offer Liquid Propane conversion kits for Ember Burners and H-Burners. Our high end top of the line System 4 Burners can be ordered factory-direct with either natural gas (NG) or liquid propane (LP) fixtures. We also carry replacement products for all of our gas fireplace logs and hearth accessories.
Fifth, and last, you should choose how you want to light your new fireplace. At Fastfireplaces.com, all of our Hargrove natural gas and propane log sets are primed to come with standard manual ignition. Higher end burner sets give you more options, such as offering pilot lights and switches. For the ultimate in fireplace comfort, any of our gas log sets can be customized to include a remote control, letting you ignite your fire with the push of a button.
