Does rotating a gas valve on an indoor fireplace counterclockwise open or close the gas line?
All gas fireplaces have to have a shut-off valve within 10' and that will turn so the key or the handle is parallel to leave gas on and perpendicular to turn gas off. The valve inside the fireplace turns but not indiscriminately. The inner valve will turn to the pilot setting and depress to light the pilot. Once the pilot os stable the knob will un-depress and turn to the On position. For a manual valve this will turn on the gas flow to the main burners. If using a switch or remote turning the valve to On leaves the fireplace valve in a Ready position so the switch or remote will turn on the gas.

How can you compute the natural gas consumption of your fireplace?
Turn off all of the gas appliances in the home except for the the fireplace. Watch the gas meter for 60 seconds and record the cubic foot usage, multiply the reading you get times 60 and that is your NG consumption for 1 hour. To convert to btu, multiply the 1 hour reading by 1000 and that #, if the fireplace is set up and burning properly should be the same as the Input rating on the fireplace tag. If you simply want to know how much gas you are using when lit, divide the Input rating on the tag by 1000 and that will tell how much NG you are using per hour in cubic feet.
