Are direct vent gas fireplaces the kind that don't have a chimney?

Kidder Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc.
Not exactly. Direct vent gas fireplaces need to be vented outside, however, this vent, or "chimney" can be run horizontally through an outside wall. In this sense, it does not require a traditional chimney that extends vertically above your roof line. You should be careful however not to confuse direct vent with unvented gas hearth products.
