I have recently been thinking about upgrading my ventless propane log set to either a direct vent or dual vent insert. Before I start shopping, I currently have the gas inlet to the logs on the right side of the firebox. Is it possible to run a flex line to the other side within the firebox (along the rear) to allow a left inlet unit? Or am I stuck purchasing a right inlet unit?

Yes, it is will meet code, as long as there is sufficient gas line length
to allow for pulling the unit out of the firebox for servicing.
