The system is available in lengths from 2'through 8'in 1'increments. The linear burner
itself is a media burner which means that the burner tube is covered with media ( broken
pieces of fire glass). A top surface media can be chosen from a list of approved options.
CRITICAL NOTES FOR PROPER AND SAFE INSTALLATION OF THE LINEAR BURNER SYSTEMS
Minimum ventilation air requirements and details of how to properly provide this air to the underside of these burners: If using room
air: a minimum requirement of 12 square inches of air per linear foot of burner and a 1/2” gap around the perimeter of the burner
Including the pilot. If using outside air (ducted): the following is acceptable: 2’ of burner = one 4” round; 3’ to 4’ of burner = two
4” round; 5’ to 6’ of burner = three 4” round; 7’ to 8’ of burner = four 4” round. Spaced evenly under the front of the burner assembly.
CAUTION: ventilation air supply must originate at or below the base of the linear burner.
NOTE: Not to be used in bedrooms or bathrooms.
This is a high throughput gas appliance and critical attention
is needed to size the gas pipes properly.

WHY PICK A SPARK LINEAR BURNER SYSTEM
• Convert wood burning fireplace to gas with a clean modern aesthetic
• Create custom fireplace installations… single view, see through, three
sided or full view firescapes
• Open front/live fire… not behind glass doors 03/17/2019
BURNER SYSTEM FEATURES
The system is available in lengths from 24” through 96” in 1’ increments. The linear burner itself is a
media burner which means that the burner tube is covered with media ( broken pieces of tempered
glass). A top surface media can be chosen from a list of approved options.
APPLICATIONS…THE SPARK OF IMAGINATION
The linear burner system was developed to serve two common design challenges.
1. Retrofit a wood burning fireplace and convert it to gas without resorting to the use of a gas log
set. Typically burners in the 24” to 48” range would be used in existing wood burning fireplaces.
2. Provide a means of creating “custom linear firescapes” with a nationally certified and
approved burner system. Typically burners from 48” to 96” would be used by architects and
designers to create single view, see through, three sided and four sided viewable fireplaces.
CERTIFICATIONS
The linear burner system was designed and certified under National Standard ANSI Z21.60,
CSA 2.26. This system is approved for use with Natural Gas or Liquid Propane. Approved for
use in all 50 states as well as Canada. Before creating a custom fireplace for this system
please consult your local/state code requirements.
FIREPLACE REQUIREMENTS
The ANSI standard states that this burner system shall be installed in a solid fuel (wood)
burning approved fireplace. The firebox and flue must meet current codes for wood burning
fireplaces. This can be achieved with traditional masonry or a steel lined firebox within a
masonry enclosure with a stainless steel class A flue. Ventilation air supply must be a part
of the firebox construction. GLASS DOORS can be installed on this fireplace. However,
they MUST be fully OPEN when the burner is operating. For multi view fireplaces with glass
doors it is required that a minimum of one side is open at all times during operation. The reason
for this is to keep the valves and other components from overheating.
GAS SERVICE
A licensed plumber or
mechanical engineer should
determine the size of the
gas line needed. A licensed
plumber, gas fitter or other
licensed technician should
always install new gas lines.
Gas lines are required to be
pressure tested and inspected
by your local jurisdiction.
Gas service can be
provided and connected
from either the side or rear
of the Linear burner system.03/17/2019
BURNER INSTALLATION
The unit can set up directly in the firebox with no other adornments. This should be templated after the
unit is installed and allow for unobstructed pilot light operation, unobstructed burner tray function and a
removable access panel for valve controls.
Continuous ventilation airflow must be allowed to flow to the bottom of the burner.
Allow 12 square inches of air per linear foot of burner and 1/2” gap around the perimeter of
burner Including Pilot.
Caution: ventilation air supply must originate at or below height of the base of the linear burner.
FLUE FANS AND MECHANIZED DAMPERS
It is recommended that mechanized flue fans and dampers be used to ensure proper flue
operation. When a burner of 60” or more is utilized it is strongly recommended that
mechanized flue fans be integrated into the fireplace design. A vendor such as Enervex
(enervex.com) can provide these essential components.
ELECTRICITY
Linear burner system works off of a millivolt system. Electricity is NOT required for operation
of the standard Linear Burner. Electricity will be necessary for the Electronic Ignition Linear
Burner. Electricity would be required to operate mechanized flue fans or remote dampers.
Priority wiring can be utilized to ensure that the fans are operating and the dampers are open
before burners ignite.
