# How to Hook Up a Pipe Burner
A pipe burner is used in a gas fireplace and is attached to the end of the gas feed pipe. It is cylindrical with evenly spaced holes on one side for the gas to escape. The burner is positioned so it runs parallel with and close to the bottom of the fireplace under the burner logs. Pipe burners come in different lengths to accommodate different-sized fireplaces. They are threaded onto the end of the gas feed pipe and tightened in place.
