A direct vent system is a very efficient alternative to a traditional gas fireplace. Direct Vent Fireplaces are factory built and their venting can be routed directly through a wall to the outside, using rigid or flexible venting. Direct vent systems are either co-axial (as stated above) or co-linear; Co-linear Direct Vent Fireplaces are used to vent through an existing wood burning chimney.
