North Toronto Gas Code for Distance Between Homes for Direct Vent Gas Fireplace
Gutting our living room and replacing the old gas fireplace. Got two installers to come out to inspect and price, first says we can do direct vent instead of chimney but second says not enough distance between houses (say 4 feet) and code will allow for DV of high efficiency furnace and water heater but not gas fireplace. If I understood him correctly he said code was amended to allow furnaces which require a smaller pipe and opening but a gas fireplace has a larger pipe and is not code.
Who is right? Both inspected and knew distances as I asked them directly? Best two out of three? Call gas company to be the umpire?
On this side of the house there is no used walkway between the houses and access is gated at our end at the rear as property line is not on the middle, we own more than half. There is no walkway to the front other than that is where both of our gas meters are located at the front of our houses if that matters.
